>> GOOD MORNING AND WELCOME TO
MISSION CONTROL HOUSTON.
LOOKING AT THE FLIGHT CONTROL
ROOM WHERE FLIGHT DIRECTOR AND
THE ORBIT TWO TEAM OF FLIGHT
CONTROLLERS ARE ON CONSOLE
KEEPING TABS ON STATION SYSTEMS
AND WORKING WITH EXPEDITION 59
CREWMEMBERS AS THEY WRAP UP
ANOTHER WEEK'S WORK IN SPACE.
COMMANDER OLEG KONONENKO AND THE
CREW MATES HELPED TWO CARGO
SHIPS AND THEIR MISSIONS AND
LEAVE THE STATION TO THEIR
RESPECTIVE FATES.
>> WELCOME SPACE TO GROUND.
CREWMEMBERS WAVED FAREWELL TO
TWO SPACE CRAVE HAS WEEK UPON
DEPARTURE FROM THE INTERNATIONAL
SPACE STATION.
THE SPACEX DRAGON COMPLETED THE
16th RECOMMERCIAL RESUPPLY
STATION ON JUNE THIRD.
THE SPACECRAFT ARRIVED ON
MAY6th AND BRIDGING ABOUT
5500POUNDS OF SILENCE, HARDWARE
AND CREW SUPPLIES.
DRAGON SPLASHDOWN IN THE PACIFIC
OCEAN RETURNING ABOUT 4200
POUNDS OF EXPERIMENT AND OTHER
CARGO.
THE RUSSIAN PROGRESS 71
SPACECRAFT ALSO LEFT THE STATION
AFTER SEVEN MONTH STAY WHEN
PROGRESS ARRIVED IN NOVEMBER OF
2018 IT BROUGHT WITH US ALMOST
THREE TONS OF SUPPLY CONTRARY
THOUGH SPACEX DRAGON PROGRESS IS
DESIGNED TO BURN TO THE EARTH'S
ATMOSPHERE DESTROYING WITH IT
TRASH AND OTHER CREW
DISPOSABLES.
AS WE VENTURE FURTHER AWAY FROM
EARTH PROVIDING CREWS WITH FOOD
AND SUPPLIES WILL TAKE LONGER SO
LEARNING HOW TO GROW PLANTS IN
SPACE.
CURRENTLY, WE'RE STUDYING HAPPEN
MAY BE ON THE MENU.
THE EXPERIMENT WAS INSTALLED
THIS WEEK AND CREWMEMBERS WILL
MONITOR THE CROP THIS TIME FOR
28 DAYS.
ASTRONAUTS WILL OBSERVE GROWTH
PATTERNS AND QUALITY BEFORE
CONDUCTING A TEST UPON HARVEST.
RESEARCH LIKE THIS IS JUST ONE
OF THE WAYS THE SPACE STATION IS
HELPING US PREPARE FOR FUTURE
LONG DURATION MISSIONS LIKE A
RETURN TO THE MOON BY 2024.
THIS WEEK'S QUESTION IS FROM
JONATHAN WHO WANTS TO KNOW WHAT
KIND OF LIVING QUARTERS
ASTRONAUTS HAVE AND THE SPACE
STATION MAY BE THE SIZE OF A
SIX-BEDROOM HOUSE BUT THE
BEDROOMS HEM SELFS ARE NOT ON
THE STATION.
EACH ASTRONAUTS AND COSMONAUT
HAS ITS OWN PERSONAL SPACE.
THESE AREAS ARE ABOUT THE SIZE
OF A SMALL CROP AND TO WATCH
MOVIE AND FRIENDS.
KEEP SENDING IN YOUR QUESTIONS
USING THE HASHTAG ASK SPACE.
WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT WEEK.

>> ON THE SUBJECT OF SMALL
SPACES IN SPACE, THE FLIGHT
ANALOG'S PROJECT NASA'S HUMAN

THE PREPARATION FOR FUTURE
MISSIONS OUT INTO THE SOLAR
SYSTEM BY SIMULATING THE
CONFINEMENT AND ISOLATION OF THE
SHIP ON LENGTH SPACEFLIGHT IN
ORDER TO LEARN WHAT IT WILL TAKE
TO SUPPORT HUMAN CREWS ON THE
MISSIONS.
ANOTHER HUMAN EXPLORATION
RESEARCH ANALOG MISSION IS
UNDERWAY RIGHT NOW HERE AT THE
JOHNSON SPACE CENTER.

HABITAT TO SEE WHAT IT SUPPORTS
FOR VOLUNTEERS DURING A
45-DAYLONG TEST.
♪
>> WE CAN SIMULATE WHAT IT LIKES
TO BE IN A SPACECRAFT SO THE
ISOLATION, THE CONFINEMENT, THE
CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT.
ANSWERING SOME OF THE QUESTIONS
BED TO ANSWER BEFORE WE ACCEPTED
PEOPLE ON THOSE EXTREMELY LONG
DURATION MISSIONS LIKE AN
ASTEROID TO OR TO MARS.
IT IS PROBABLY ABOUT THE SIZE OF
I WOULD SAY MAYBE A ONE-BEDROOM
APARTMENT THAT IS NOT TERRIBLY,
TERRIBLY LUXURIOUS, BUT ON THE
OTHER HAND, IT IMMOLATES WHAT
YOU MAY SEE IN A SPACECRAFT.
A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT YOU
HAVE ON THE FIRST FLOOR ARE
THINGS LIKE WORK STATIONS SOME
OF THE COMPUTER AND ADVISES ARE
ON THE FIRST FLOOR AND WE HAVE A
LOT OF CAPABILITIES FOR
PERFORMING DIFFERENT KINDS OF EX
PERMS.
THE SECOND FLOOR IS KIND OF LIKE
THE LIVING ROOM AND THERE IS A
TABLE THAT YOU CAN SIT AT AND
EAT THEIR MEALS.
ALL THE FOOD RIGHT NOW IS COMING
WERE THE JOHNSON SPACE CENTER
FOOD LAB WHICH MEANS IT IS
SUSTAINED FOOD THAT GOES THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION AND
THERE IS ALSO CHANGES FOR THEM
TO PLAY VIDEOS OR TO WATCH
MOVIES.
WE HAVE A COUPLE OF EXERCISE
DEVICES, A BICYCLE IN
PARTICULAR, THEN WE HAVE FREE
WEIGHTS WE FIND THAT A LOT OF
CREWMEMBERS WILL ALSO DO
STRETCHING AND MAYBE SOME YOGA,
SO THERE IS A LITTLE TINY POLICE
FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT.
THE TIME LEVEL IS NOT A FULL
STORY, IT IS REALLY THE SLEEP
QUARTER.
IT IS BIGGER THAN POP TENT.
EACH CREW MEMBER HAS HIS OR HER
SLEEP QUARTERS.
ACTUALLY VERY COZY AND
COMFORTABLE.
THE HYGIENE MODULE HAS FLUSHING
TOILET.
WE HAVE A STAND-UP SHOWER HOT
AND COLD RUG WATER AND HAVE HOT
AND COLD WATT RUNNING WATER.
THE TIME ELEMENT OF THE MODULE
IS A VERY SMALL MODULE THAT IS
AIRLOCK AND WE DO ISOLATE OR
DEVICE A CREW AND CREWMEMBERS
WILL GO THE AIRLOCK AND THAT IS
WHERE THEY WILL DOLL THE VIRTUAL
REALITY EVA'S FROM.
>> I LOVE A CHALLENGE.
I AM PROFESSOR AT GRAND VALLEY
STATE UNIVERSITY.
I TEACH BIOLOGY.
IT IS A SMALL ROLE, BUT IT IS
REALLY TANGIBLE IMPORTANT ROLE
IN GETTING PEOPLE TO MAR.
THE FIRST THING I THOUGHT ABOUT
ON THE FACE BOOK POSTING AND
COUPLE OF FORKER CREW PEOPLE
POSTED THEY HAD COME OUT.
I DIDN'T THINK I WOULD BE, I
JUST DID IT ON THE SCALE IT
WORKED OUT AWESOME.
THEY ARE MEASURING US IN MORE
WAYS THAN I COULD HAVE IMAGINED.
ARE GIVING BUY OH G CALL SAMPLES
HP THEY ARE MEASURING THE HEART
RATE, THE BRAIN WAVES.
THEY ARE DOING A TREMENDOUSLY
LARGE NUMBER OF PSYCHOLOGICAL
TESTS ON THIS.
>> SO WHILE THEY ARE ON THE WAY
TO THE ASTROID, THEY ARE GOING
TO PRACTICE THEIR FLYING SKILLS
ONCE THEY GET THE DESTINATION
THEY ARE GOING TO BE CONDUCTING
SOME VIRTUAL REALITY EVA'S SO ON
THE WAY THERE THEY ARE ALSO
PRACTICING THOSE SKILLS.
WE HAVE A HOUSE SKEPPING TASKS
FOR HEM.
WE HAVE MAINTENANCE TYPES OF
TASKS.
A PRIMARY PURPOSE FOR THE
MISSION CONTROLLERS IS REALLY TO
ENSURE THE SAFETY AND WELL-BEING
OF THE CREW MEMBERS WHO ARE
INSIDE TO MAKE SURE THAT
EVERYTHING IS GOING WELL AND IT
IS REALLY ALSO TO AS MUCH AS
POSSIBLE TO KEEP ALL OF THE
SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATIONS
HAPPENING AS SCHEDULE ON TIME TO
ANY ANSWER ANY KIND OF
QUESTIONS.
WE PROVIDE SOME INPUT, YOU KNOW,
A NEWSPAPER IF YOU WILL,
ELECTRONICALLY, THE CREWMEMBERS
I CALL IT THE MORNING MAIL.
NOT ALLOWING THE INTERNET ACCESS
REALLY DOES ALLOW US TO KEEP THE
CREWMEMBERS REALLY ENGAGED IN
THE MISSION AND NOT TO BE, YOU
KNOW, CONCERNED ABOUT THINGS
THAT ARE GOING ON IN THE OUTSIDE
WORLD.
THE ONE LITTLE LUXURY, IF YOU
WILL, THAT THEY HAVE IS
APPROXIMATELY ONCE A WEEK, WE
SCHEDULED THEM FOR A RIFE FAMILY
CONFERENCE SO A TELEPHONE CALL
THAT IS PATCHED IN AND PRIVATE
PHONE LINE AND WE DO PLAN TO
KEEP THE IT OPERATING FOR
ANOTHER FOUR TO FIVE YEARS THE
45-DAY MISSIONS ARE ALSO GOING
TO BE LOOK FOR QUALIFIED
CREWMEMBERS TO BE ABLE TO COME
AND JOINS AND PARTICIPATE IN THE
RESEARCH STUDIES.

RESEARCH LABORATORY.
THE INTERIOR OF THE ISS IS
FINISHED WITH LABORATORY
EQUIPMENT AND CHAMBERS FOR
EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH.
IT IS NOT AS LARGE AS SOME EARTH
LABS BUT IT HAS ONE THING THAT
EARTH LABS DO NOT, MICROGRAVITY.
GRAVITY INFLUENCES EVERYTHING
THAT HAPPENS ON EARTH.
HE IS THAT READY TO ENVISION
WHAT LIFE WOULD BE LIKE WITHOUT
THIS FORCE YET MOVING THE POOL
OF GRAVITY INSTRUCTIVE.
REDUCED GRAVITY PROVIDED BY THE
ISS IS A MAY ATTRACTION FOR
RESEARCHES SAYS JOSEPH OF NASA'S
JOHNSON SPACE CENTER IN HOUSTON,
TEXAS.
THE WEIGHTLESS ENVIRONMENT
ALLOWS SCIENTISTS TO GAIN
INSIGNIFICANT BASIC PHENOMENON
IN MANY FIELDS.
FOR EXAMPLE, WE ALL HAVE SEEN
THE ROOTS OF PLANTS GROW DOWN TO
THE EARTH.
IS IT THE COST OF GRAVITY
EXPERIMENT WITH PLANS CAN TELL
US.
UNDERSTANDING HOW ROOTS IS
DIRECTLY APPLICABLE TO SPACE
WHAT DOES MAT SA NEED TO
CONSIDER WHEN DEMANDING A PLANT
CHAMBER IN SPACE.
FARMERS ARE INTERESTED, TOO, A
DEEP UNDERSTANDING OF ROOTS AND
HELPS SCIENTISTS DESIGN
HYDROPONIC CHAMBERS FOR
AGRICULTURE AND CHAMBERS WITH
SOIL CONDITION.
SINCE THE FIRST MODULES WERE
LAUNCHED IN 1988 UP UNTIL 2016,
MORE THAN 2400 INVESTIGATIONS
HAVE BEEN UNDERTAKEN BY OVER
3400 RESEARCHES IN OVER 100
COUNTRIES.
ASTRONAUTS HAVE SPENT MORE THAN
36,000 HOURS HELPING RUN THE
EXPERIMENT FOR SCIENTIST BACK ON

IT IS SCIENTIFIC BONANZA.
THERE ARE FIVE MAYOR RESEARCH
AREAS ON THE ISS.
AND BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES SUCH A
EXPERIMENT, PHYSICAL SCIENCE,
BASE SILENCE AND FUNDAMENTAL
PHYSICS, HUMAN RESEARCH AND
EARTH SCIENCE.
NOW FAVORITE EXAMPLES OF EACH.

PROPERTIES OF THE MATERIAL.
WHILE PROTEIN CRYSTALS ARE
BIOLOGICAL SCIENCE AND MEDICAL

SWITCHING OVER TO FUNDAMENTAL
PHYSICS THERE ARE SEVERAL

MY NAME IS SCOTT TINGLE.
HERE ON THE SPACE STATION WE

HERE AN UNIQUE EX PEER.
TO STAY HEALTHY WE HAVE TO
MAINTAIN A NUTRITIOUS DIET LIKE
WEE ON EARTH.

PREPARATION AREA.
DURING LONG DURATION SPACEFLIGHT
WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE RECEIVE
ENOUGH ENERGY PROTEINS AND

♪ ONE OF THE MOST FAVORITE FOODS
TO EAT ARE NATURAL RAISINS.
HERE ON SPACE STATION, WE HAVE
TO KEEP OUR CALORIES UP IF WE
WANT TO GET THE WORK DONE.
CARBOHYDRATES REALLY HELP.
THEY ARE KIND OF PUN TO EAT,
TOO.
DO WE STAY HYDRATED?
WITH THESE SPECIAL POUCHES.
THEY ARE FILLED WITH WATER.

WAY VALVE THAT PREVENTS WATER
FROM OUT OF THE POUCH WHILE WE

THANKS FOR EXPLORING A LITTLE
NUTRITION WITH ME.
WILL SEND YOU BACK TO EARTH SO
YOU CAN CREATE YOUR OWN
ASTRONAUT MENUS.
SEE YOU AGAIN SOON.
>> NASA'S HUMAN RESEARCH PROGRAM
IS USING THE ISS TO LEARN MORE
ABOUT HOW LIVING IN SPACE
IMPACTS THE HUMAN BODY.
SO WE CAN FIGURE HOUT TO
COUNTERACT THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS
AND PROTECT FUTURE ASTRONAUT
WHENCE THEY EXPLORE OUT BEYOND
EARTH ORBIT.
THAT INCLUDES DEALING WITH THE
RADIATION
WHEN THEY ARE OUTSIDE OF THE
PROTECTION OF EARTH'S
ATMOSPHERE.
IN THIS INSTALLMENT OF THE
SERIES ON SPACE RADIATION, HRP
DISCUSS THE BIOLOGICAL RISKS
THAT FUTURES WILL FACE ON
MISSION'S OUT INTO THE SOLAR
SYSTEM.
>> SO ALL THING THIS THAT'S THE
HUMAN RESEARCH PROGRAM IS
INVESTIGATING AND THE BIOLOGICAL
CONSEQUENCE OF RADIATION POKES
SHEER IS ONE OF THE MAJOR ONCE.
THE HEALTH CONSEQUENCE OF
FOLLOWING RADIATION EXPOSURE ARE
COMPLEX PROCESSES AND IT IS
DIFFICULT TO QUANTIFY HOW THE
RADIATION IS INTERACTING WITH
TISSUE, THEN EVEN MORE
COMPLICATED TO TRY TO QUANTIFY
AND DETERMINE WHAT THE LONG-TERM
OUTCOMES ARE GOING TO BE IN
TERMS OF THINGS LIKE CENTRAL
NERVOUS SYSTEM EFFECTS AND
DETRIMENTS OF THE CENTRAL
NERVOUS SYSTEM.
THE PRIMARY MAPS BY WHICH
RADIATION EFFECTS CELLS IS BY
DAMAGING THE NDA.
CAN GET BREAKS IN STRANDS.
YOU CAN KNOCK IT OUT AND THE
CELL WILL MAKE ATTEMPT TO REPAIR
THAT DAMAGE AND SOMETIMES IT IS
EFFECTIVE.
SOMETIMES IT IS NOT.
SOMETIMES WILT ACTUALLY GET
REPAIRED BUT IN A FASHION SO
ANYTHING THAT IS SET INTO THE
GENE THAT WAY IS A MUTATION AND
THE ACCUMULATION OF MUTATIONS
CAN POTENTIALLY LEAD TO CANCER
AND TAKE NON-CANCEROUS CELL A
NORMAL CELL AND MAKE IT
TRANSFORM
THAT IS A BIG CONCERN.
SO ON EARTH, THERE IS A COUPLE
OF CHARACTERS THAT ARE DIFFERENT
FROM SPACE, ONE OF THEM IS AT
THE TYPE OF RADIATION WE
EXPERIENCE ON THE GENERALLY WHAT
RADIATION AND THINGS LIKE GAMMA
RAYS AND RAYS AND PROTECTIVE
SHIELDING OF THE EARTH' FIELD
AND SHIELD A GREAT DEAL THE
RADIATION THEN WE HAVE RADIATION
PROTECTION CONCEPTS SUCH AS TIME
SHIELDING AND DISTANCE SO WE CAN
REDUCE THE TIME ON EARTH AND
REDUCE THE DISTANCE FROM THE
RADIATION SOURCES THEN WE CAN
REDUCE EXPOSURE THROUGH
SHIELDING AND IN SPACE A LOT OF
THOSE THINGS ARE DIFFERENT SO WE
HAVE A COMPLEX RADIATION FIELD
THAT INCLUDES THINGS LIKE
PROTONS AND ALL THE PARTICLE ON
THE PERIODIC TABLE OF ELEMENTS
AND COMING IN AT ENERGIES THAT
ARE APPROACHING THE SPEED OF
LIABILITY AND DIFFICULT TO
SHIELD AGAINST AND THEY ARE
ALWAYS THERE SO THE CONCEPT OF
TIME REALLY DOESN'T MAKE SENSE
BECAUSE YOU CANNOT REDUCE THE
EXPOSURE IN SPACE EXCEPT GEEING
TO MARCH FAST AND CAN NOT REDUCE
THE DISTANCE AT ALL BECAUSE THE
RADIATION IS EVERYWHERE AND
SHIELDING CONCEPT FOR GALACTIC
COSMIC RAYS ARE DIFFICULT
BECAUSE OF THE ENERGIES
INVOLVED.

JUST IN CASE YOU ALREADY KNEW
ALL OF THAT, HERE ARE A FEW
THINGS ABOUT HER THAT MAY
SURPRISE YOU.
>> OK.
ONE THING THAT MOST PEOPLE DON'T
KNOW ABOUT ME.
I WANTED TO BE ASTRONAUT SINCE I
WAS THESE ARE YEARS OLD.
I TOLD MY MOM WHEN I WENT TOUGH
PRESCHOOL I TOLL HER I WAS BACK
TO GO TO SCHOOL TO LEARN BE
ASTRONAUT KINDERGARTEN I WROTE
THE FIRST BACK ON GOING TO SPACE
ON THE SOYUZ VEHICLE.
WHEN WAS IN SIXTH GRADE I HAD A
BIRTHDAY PERT AND I ASKED EVERY
SINGLE ONE OF MY FRIENDS FOR
CALCULATE FOR MY BIRTHDAY IN A
DIDN'T TELL MY PARENTS BUT I GOT
A LOT OF CALCULATORS AND SUPER
NERDY ABOUT IT.
ONE OF THE THINGS I LEARNED IS
YOU KNOW YOU GOT TO BE YOURSELF.
I WANTED A BUNCH OF CALCULATORS.
I GOT A BUMP OF CALCULATORS.
HE WAS A HUGE NERD THEN.
I AM A TOTAL NERD NOW.
NERDS GET GO TO SPACE.
ANOTHER THING IS THAT I PLAYED
RUGBY.
WHILE MAYBE IF YOU ARE CLOSE TO
ME NOW THAT HE.
I AM CRAZY RUGBY THE LAST TIME I
PLAYED WAS WEEK BEFORE I GOT
SELECTED HERE AT NASA.
HE PLAYED IN THE ENGLISH
PREMIERSHIP IN ENGLAND AND THEN
I WENT BACK AND PLAY ON THE U.S.
NATIONAL TEAM.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I LEARNED
ABOUT MYSELF PLAYING RUGBY THAT
I APPLY EVERY DAY IS WHEN YOU
THINK YOU HAVE GIVEN EVERYTHING
LEFT TO GIVE PHYSICALLY AND
MENTALLY YOU HAVE RESERVE TO DIP
INTO AND YOU CAN KEEP GOING.
WAS HELICOPTER PILOT IN THE ARMY
HIM?
FLU FOR TEN YEARS BEFORE I
BECAME A TEST PILOT ONE OF THE
THINGS I LEARNED PLYING
HELICOPTERS WHEN SOMETHING LOOKS
RISKY FROM THE OUTSIDE THAT
PEOPLE THAT ARE DOING IT ON THE
INSIDE THEY ARE NOT PROFESSIONAL
RISK TAKERS BUT PROBABLY
PROFESSIONAL RISK MITIGATORS.
ONE SUM MR I WATCHED THE MOVIE
TOP GUN SO MAN HI TIMES PROBABLY
THREE TIMES A DAY FOR A MATTER
OF MONTHS THAT MY BROTHER TOOK
THE TAPE OUT OF THE VH1 AND
BROKE OVER IT HIS LEG SO I COULD
NEVER WATCH IT AGAIN.
WAS ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATED SO
MAYBE PARTLY HIS FAULT I HAVE TO
LIVE THAT DREAM AS LITTLE
MILITARY PILOT BUT YOU NEVER
KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING TO GET
INSPIRATION FROM AND IN IF YOU
ARE IN SPIRED THEN KEEP DOING
