>>> AROUND THEIR SUPPORT FOR THE
SPACEWALKS, EXPEDITION 64 CREW
MEMBERS HAVE REMAINED FOCUSED ON
THEIR WORK SUPPORTING
ONE-OF-A-KIND SCIENTIFIC
RESEARCH IN SPACE.
IT WAS MORE THAN FOUR YEARS AGO
THAT FLIGHT ENGNEAR KATE REUBENS
BECAME THE FIRST PERSON TO
SEQUENCE DNA IN SPACE.
SO LAST WEEK WHEN SHE MOVED
SPACE SCIENCE FORWARD AGAIN WITH
ANOTHER CRUCIAL MILESTONE FOR
MICROBIOLOGICAL-- MICROBIYON,
THE SPACE CREW TOOK A TIME TO
RECOGNIZE REUBEN'S SPOT IN
SCIENTIFIC HISTORY.
>> KATE, WHILE YOU DO THAT, I
HAVE A FEW WORDS FOR YOU.
SO TODAY MARKS FOUR YEARS, FOUR
MONTHS, THREE WEEKS, AND FIVE
DAYS SINCE ONE MONUMENTAL JUMP
OF PARADIGM SHIFTING SPACE
SCIENCE OCCURRED WHEN YOU FOR
THE FIRST TIME SEQUENCED DNA
BEYOND THE BOUNDS OF EARTH.
SIXCH YOUR CREW MEMBERS HAVE
ADVANCED THAT WORK AND
DEMONSTRATED SIGNIFICANT
ADVANCEMONTS IN-- ADVANCEMENTS
IN MICROBIOLOGY.
HUMAN DIAGNOSTICS WHEN NATIVE
RNA WAS SEQUENCED ON DIRECTION,
AND FUNDAMENTAL BIOLOGY-- ALL
ON BOARD.
AND THAT CAME FROM THE MINDS OF
A TEAM OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
WHO WON GENES IN SPACE.
YOUR WORK REVOLUTION YEWSED
SPACE-- REVOLUTIONIZE SPACE
SCIENCE OF SEQUENCING OF HIGHLY
COMPLEX AND MULTI-PLEX SAMPLES.
ON BEHALF OF THE SEQUENCER TEAM,
AKA, MYSELF, SARA, ERIN, AND
KRISTEN JOHN AND THE WHOLE SPACE
FLIGHT SCIENCE SUNT COMMUNITY,
WE-- THROUGH ALL YOU DO TO
SOCIALIZE THE RECOGNIZE THE
IMPORTANCE OF BIOLOGY IN SPACE.
THANK YOU, KATE.
>> YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE ME CRY.
THIS IS SO COOL!
I'M INCREDIBLY EXCITED TO SEE
THIS AND I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT
MULTI-PLEXES FOR YEARS.
-- MULTI-PLEXING FOR YEARS.
SO THIS IS AMAZING THAT YOU GUYS
HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO THIS AND
IT'S REALLY, REALLY, REALLY FUN
TO BE AT THE POINT END OF THIS
AND TO GET A CHANCE TO DO THE
SEQUENCING IN SPACE.
SO I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS
AND I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL WE'RE
SEQUENCING, MULTI-PLEXING AND
SWABBING EVERYTHING ON THE SPACE
STATION.
>> THAT'S WHERE WE'RE HEADED
NEXT.
>>> THE MICROGRAVITY ENVIRONMENT
OF THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE
STATION PROVIDES SCIENTISTS WITH
A PLACE TO DO RESEARCH IN MANY
DIFFERENT KINDS OF SCIENCE.
FLUID, PHYSICS IS ONE OF THEM.
LAST YEAR DOUG HURLEY GAVE A
STRONG SQUEEZE TO A PLASTIC BAG
AS PART OF A SIMPLE EXPERIMENT
TO LEARN MORE ABOUT HOW TO
MANAGE LIQUIDS IN MICROGRAVITY.
>> MARK, STATION ON THREE, HOW
DO YOU HEAR.
THIS IS DOUG.
>> DOUG, I GOT YOU FIVE BY FIVE.
>> WE STARTED MAYBE 15 YEARS AGO
IN THIS LONG LINE OF EXPERIMENTS
THAT HAD BEEN GOING TO SPACE ALL
SMALL SCALE, FLUID EXPERIMENTS
THAT HAVE TAUGHT US A LOT ABOUT
MANAGING FLUIDS IN SPACE WITHOUT
ANY MOVING PARTS OR ELECTRICITY.
>> JUST FLUID.
♪
♪NOW WE CAN APPLY RESEARCH
RESULTS THAT WE'VE LEARNED FROM
DOING EXPERIMENTS IN SPACE TO
ACTUAL SPACE SYSTEMS THAT
ACTUALLY REQUIRE GRAVITY TO BE
GONE FOR THEM TO WORK.
THAT'S DIFFERENT.
THAT'S A NEW HORIZON I WOULD
SAY.
>> OKAY, MARK.
READY ON STEP FOUR.
>> THIS IS AN ENGINEERING
DEMONSTRATION OF A WASTEWATER
PURIFICATION SYSTEM.
SO INSIDE THAT FOAM ARE ALL
THESE WEIRD CHANNELS AND
DIFFERENT WETTING FOAMS IN
THERE, SUCH A CAPILLARY FORCES
WICK THE LIQUIDS OUT OPENING THE
CHANNELS UP.
SO IT'S MANAGING BRINE AND
CONTAMINATED WATER STREAMS.
>> SOUNDS REALLY INTERESTS AND
FRANKLY REALLY COOL.
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT IT
DOES.
>> WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO IS
OPEN THAT LITTLE VALVE OUT OF
THE DRINK BAG AND YOU'RE GOING
TO PRIME THE TUBE.
THEN YOU'RE GOING TO SQUEEZE
THAT BAG, THE DRINK BAG, AND
THEN KIND OF IN ABOUT 15 SECONDS
FILL THE ENTIRE FOAM WITH THE
CONTENTS OF THE BAG.
>> THE INTERIOR PIECE OF THAT
FOAM IS HIGHLY WETTING.
SO IT WANTS TO SUCK UP THAT
WATER.
BUT IN THERE THERE ARE PIECES ON
THE OUTSIDE THAT ARE
HYDROPHOBIC, SO IT DOESN'T WANT
THE WATER TO PENETRATE THROUGH.
SO WHAT ARE THE ISSUES, WHAT
DOES THAT LOOK HIKE?
BECAUSE THIS PIECE OF
TECHNOLOGY, EVEN THOUGH IT'S SO
SIMPLE AS A PIECE OF FOAM, IT
CAN POTENTIALLY DO SO MANY
THINGS.
>> YOU'RE GOING TO THINK IT'S
DULL AND WHAT ARE THESE GOOFS
DOING.
YOU'RE GOING SAY THAT.
BUT BASICALLY, IT'S A DYED
LIQUID.
IT'S ACTUALLY RED FOOD PUNCH
THAT WE USE WHICH IS A STIMULANT
FOR URINE.
>> DO YOU LIKE THE PACK LIGHT
VIEW?
>> YES, IT GIVES US THE COMPLETE
VIEW OF THIS WHOLE THING.
IT'S THESE.
>> IT'S PRETTY COOL.
>> SO THE PURPOSE OF THIS
EXPERIMENT IS TO SEE HOW WELL
THE FOAM HOLDS THE LIQUID IN
MICROGRAVITY AND IF WE
COMPLETELY AGITATE IT AND REALLY
PUT THIS PIECE OF EQUIPMENT
THROUGH THE WRINGER, HOW WELL
DOES IT BOUNCE BACK.
HONESTLY THE MOST SURPRISING
THING IS HOW SIMPLE WE CAN MAKE
THIS TECHNOLOGY.
MAYBE THE FOAM PROJECT IS GOING
TO ENABLE A BACKUP SYSTEM FOR
THE TOILETS OR MAYBE A NEW
WASTEWATER PROCESSING SYSTEM
ALTOGETHER AND THAT'S THE
FUTURE.
IT'S JUST-- I MEAN, IT FEELS
LIKE ANYTHING IS REALLY
POSSIBLE.
>> WE ARE VERY HOPEFUL THAT OUR
WORK, WHICH WE STARTED OUT IN
FUNDAMENTAL RESEARCH, AND IT'S
TURNED MORE AND MORE APPLIED
COULD GET TO THE POINT WHERE
IT'S DELIVERING ON EQUIPMENT.
EQUIPMENT THAT FUNCTIONS WITHOUT
MOVING PARTS OR A MINIMUM OF
MOVING PARTS, WITHOUT POWER,
WITHOUT NOISE.
WE'D LOVE IT TO HAVE A SYSTEM
THAT JUST WORKS PASSIVELY BY ITS
SHAPE AND WHETHER IT'S ON THE
MOON OR IN ORBIT AROUND THE MOON
OR IN WEIGHTED MARS, WE'D LOVE
TO CONTRIBUTE IN THAT WAY AND IN
A WAY THAT MAKES OTHERS ABLE TO
DO THAT, TOO.
SO BY PUBLISHING THE DESIGN
LAWS, BY THE EXPERIMENT
EXPERIENCE, WE'D LOVE TO DO
THAT, TOO.
>> I THINK IT'S JUST COOL.
IT'S SO SIMPLE AND IT'S SO COOL.

>>> THE STRUCTURE OF THE

ENCOUNTER AT ANY TIME IN LOW
EARTH ORBIT.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THESE

♪ ♪
>> HEY FROM.
I'M NASA ASTRONAUT RICKY
YARNOLD.
WELCOME ABOARD THE INTERNATIONAL
SPACE STATION.
TODAY WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT
THE SPACE STATION TRUSS.
THE TRUSS SEGMENT IS JUST ABOUT,
OH, ABOUT 100 METERS FROM SIDE
TO SIDE.
A TRUSS IS A SEGMENT OR PART OF
THE WHOLE INTEGRATED TRUSS
STRUCTURE.
THE TRUSSES ARE USED TO SUPPORT
THE 16 ARRAY SOLAR PANELS.
THE DESIGN OF THE TRUSS INVOLVES
TRIANGLES AND BEAMS WHICH CAN BE
SEEN ON EARTH IN STRUCTURES LIKE
BRIDGES.
WHY TRIANGLES?
THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE UNIQUE
GEOMETRIC PROPERTIES, THEIR
METHODS OF TRANSFERRING LOADS
AND SPATIAL OPENINGS.
THEY HAVE FEWER JOINTS.
THE LARGER NUMBER OF JUST A
MOMENTS IN A SHAPE, THE MORE
PRONE THAT SHAPE IS TO BE
IMPACTED BY SHEERFORCES.
WHAT I LIKE TO TALK ABOUT SOME
OF THE FORCES THAT CAN ACT UPON
THE TRUSS.
THE FIRST FORCE I WANT TO TALK
ABOUT IS COMPRESSION FORCE.
AND COMPRESSION FORCE IS JUST
LIKE IT SOUNDINGS.
TWO THINGS COMING-- SOUNDS.
TWO THINGS COMING TOMGHT.
SO IF WE APPLY A COMPRESSION
FORCE TO THE TRUSS, WHAT DO YOU
THINK IS GOING TO HAPPEN?
LET ME GO AHEAD AND DO IT.
AND YOU CAN SEE, RIGHT HERE,
WHERE THE TRUSS WOULD BEND.
WHAT DO YOU THINK THE OPPOSITE
FORCE OF COMPRESSION IS?
THAT'S RIGHT.
IT'S GOING TO GO PULL-- GOING
TO BE PULLING APART.
A TENSION FORCE IS GOING TO HELP
MAYBE EVEN RIGGEDDIZE THE TRUSS
SEGMENT BUT IT COULD PULL IT
APART.
I'M NOT GOING TO PULL APART THIS
TAPE MEASURE BECAUSE WE PROBABLY
NEED IT LATE FOR-- LATER FOR
SOME WORK WE HAVE TO DO.
THIS NEXT FORCE IS BASICALLY
KIND OF LIKE A TWISTING FORCE
AND WE CALL THAT TORSION.
AND EVEN WHEN I JUST LET GO OF
THE TAPE MEASURE, YOU CAN SEE IT
WILL ACTUALLY START TO HAPPEN A
LITTLE BIT.
YOU CAN START TO SEE-- BECAUSE
THE CENTER OF MASS IS ACTUALLY
RIGHT HERE, WHERE MOST OF THE
TAPE MEASURE IS LOCATED, AND
WHEN I LET IT GO, THE TAPE
MEASURE ITSELF STARTS TO TWIST.
JUST A LITTLE BIT.
FINALLY, THE FOURTH FORCE THAT
CAN ACT ALONG THE TRUSS SEGMENT
IS IT CAN OCCUR AT A SING.
POINT WHERE-- SINGLE POINT
WHERE TWO OPPOSING FORCES WORK
ON A SINGLE POINT ALONE THE
TRUSS JUST LIKE THEY CAN UPON
THE EARTH'S SURFACE.
THINK ABOUT SOME EARTHQUAKES.
YOU COULD HAVE A PLATE OR ALONG
A FAULT LINE WHERE PART-- ONE
SIDE IS MOVING UPWARD OR BEING
FORCED UPWARD WHILE THE OTHER
SIDE IS MOVING DOWNWARD.
AND THAT FORCE IN AT ONE POINT
IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS IS CALLED
A SHEERFORCE.
AND WE CAN ALSO HAVE THAT HAPPEN
ON THE TRUSS SEGMENT.
SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
ONE THING TO THINK ABOUT, WHERE
DO THESE FORCES COME FROM?
ONE FORCE EVEN THOUGH WE'RE UP
HERE LARGELY OUT OF THE EARTH'S
ATMOSPHERE, WE DO STILL HAVE
DRAG WITH THE EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE
WHICH CAN IMPART LOADS ON THE--
IMPART A FORCE ON THE TRUSS
SEGMENT.
ANOTHER I ALREADY HINTED AT
EARLIER IS CREW WORKING INSIDE.
WE'RE UP HERE, EXERCISIZING--
EXERCISING, MOVING REALLY HEAVY
EQUIPMENT OF THINGS AROUND.
WE HAVE SPECIFIC DISPALESTINE
THE DISCIPLINES, THEIR JOB IS TO
MONITOR ALL THE FORCES IMPARTED
UPON THE SPACE STATION.
THEY KEEP TRACK OF THOSE VARIOUS
FORCES I TALKED ABOUT AND WHERE
THEY COULD BE COMING FROM, THE
ATMOSPHERE, THINGS THE CREW ARE
DOING INSIDE THE INTERNATIONAL
SPACE STATION.
AND TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE
FORCES AREN'T SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH
TO CAUSE ANY DAMAGE TO THIS
WONDERFUL LABORATORY AND LIVING
SPACE WE HAVE UP HERE IN LOW
EARTH ORBIT.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR JOINING ME
TODAY.
WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT TIME.
