>> GOOD MORNING.
WELCOME TO THIS PEAK INSIDE THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION
FLIGHT CONTROL ROOM AT NASA'S
JOHNSON SPACE CENTER IN HOUSTON.
THESE ENGINEERS AND SPECIALISTS
ARE ON DUTY TO MONITOR THE
SYSTEMS AND ASSIST THE
EXPEDITION 66 CREWMEMBERS AS
NEEDED AS THEY PRESS AHEAD WITH
THEIR AGENDA OF SCIENCE RESEARCH
AND STATION MAINTENANCE.
COMMANDER ANTON AND RUSSIAN AND
GERMAN CREW MATES SAID GOOD-BYE
TO ANOTHER CARGO SHIP THIS WEEK
AND THEN JUMPED INTO NEW LIST OF
LABORATORY EXPERIMENTS AND THE
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE WORK THAT
KEEPS THE WORLD'S SPACE STATION

>> STATION, SPACE TO GROUND.
WELCOME TO SPACE TO GROUND.
I AM SANDRA JONES.
THIS WEEK, A CARGO VEHICLE
SPLASHED DOWN OFF THE COAST OF
FLORIDA, A RECORD-BREAKING
SPACEFLIGHT CONTINUES AND
INVESTIGATIONS ARE UNDERWAY
ABOARD THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE
STATION.
ON MONDAY, JANUARY24th, AN
UNPILOTED SPACEX CARGO DRAGON
SPLASHED DOWN OFF THE COAST OF
PANAMA CITY, FLORIDA, CARRYING
OVER 3900POUNDS OF SCIENCE
INVESTIGATIONS AND RETURN
SAMPLES THE VEHICLE UNDOCKED
FROM THE SPACE STATION ON
JANUARY23rd AFTER LAUNCHING
FROM THE KENNEDY SPACE CENTER IN
FLORIDA LAST MONTH.
MEANWHILE, ON STATION, THE CREW
BEGAN THE VALIDATION EXPERIMENT
CYCLE FACILITIES THE VEGGIE
PONDS INVESTIGATION EXPANDS ON
PREVIOUS VALIDATION TESTS OF THE
NEW VEGGIE HARDWARE WHICH CAN
POTENTIALLY ALLOW CREWMEMBERS TO
GROW A VARIETY OF NEW
INGREDIENTS IN SPACE.
TESTS ALSO AIMED TO DETERMINE
AND MONITOR MICROBIOM POPULATION
CHANNELS THAT ARE PRESENCE
PROVIDING BASELINE DATA FOR
FUTURE FOOD PRODUCTION EFFORTS
RESULTS FROM THE INVESTIGATION
CONTRIBUTE TO BASIC RESEARCH ON
PLANT CULTIVATION AND BENEFITING
AGRICULTURE AND BIOMASS
PRODUCTION EFFORTS ON EARTH.
NASA ASTRONAUT MARK VANDE HEI
CONTINUED TO BREAK RECORDS
DURING HIS LONG DURATION
SPACEFLIGHT.
ON SATURDAY, JANUARY22nd.
VANDE HEI SURPASSED FORMER NASA
ASTRONAUT'S RECORD OF 288 DAYS
IN SPACE.
THEN, THE NEXT AMERICAN ON THE
LIST IS CHRISTINA KOCH.
SHE SPENT A TOTAL OF 328 DAYS IN
SPACE DURING HER MISSION FROM
2019 TO 2020 THEN THE CURRENT
AMERICAN RECORD HOLDER IS FORMER
ASTRONAUT SCOTT KELLY WITH 340
CONSECUTIVE DAYS IN ORBIT THEN
VANDE HEI RETURNS TO EARTH IN
MARCH, HE WILL HAVE SPENT A
TOTAL OF 353 DAYS IN SPACE.
WHICH WILL BE THE LONGEST SINGLE
SPACEFLIGHT BY AN AMERICAN.
THE RECORD HOLDER FOR THE
LONGEST SINGLE SPACEFLIGHT IS
HELD BY RUSSIAN COSMONAUT.
HE SPENT 437 DAYS ABOARD THE MIR
SPACE STATION FROM 1649 TO 1995.
THAT IS SPACE TO GROUND THIS
WEEK.
THANKS FOR WATCHING.
YOU CAN GET DAILY ON ORBIT
STATUS REPORT BY VISITING OUR
STAYS SPACE BLOG.
WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT WEEK.
>> NATURAL JOINS IS ONE KIND OF
RESEARCH BEING DONE ON THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION.
BIOLOGY RESEARCH IS ANOTHER.
AND THE MVP, THE MULTIUSE
VARIABLE GRAVITY PLATFORM IS
DESIGNED FOR RESEARCH INVOLVING
DIFFERENT KINDS OF ORGANISMS AND
HYPE ARE PIPES.
YOU IS IMPORTANT FOR FRUIT FLY
RESEARCH, AS IT WILL ALLOW TO
STUDY LARGER SAMPLE SIZES THAN
BEFORE AND TO SUPPORT FLY
COLONIES FROM MULTIPLE
GENERATIONS.
>> WE ARE LOOKING TO ANSWER THE
QUESTION, A IS THE EFFECT OF
SPACEFLIGHT ON THE HOSTS, THE
HOST HERE BEING THE FRUIT FLY.
AND ALSO ON A PATHOGEN SO THE
BACTERIA IS ACTUALLY ONE THAT
CAN AFFECT THE FLY SIMILARLY TO
THE WAY FOR EXAMPLE A HUMAN OR
ANY OTHER ORGANISM.
THE GENETIC MAKEUP OF THE FRUIT
FLY IS ACTUALLY SIMILAR TO
HUMANS, IF YOU LOOKED AT ALL THE
GENES THAT YOU KNOW ARE
IMPORTANT FOR FUNCTION AND IN
THAT CATEGORY IN THAT LIBRARY OF
GENES THERE IS 75 SIMILARITIES
BETWEEN THE HUMAN BEINGS AND THE
FRUIT FRY AND IN A BOX THIS
SIZE, THOUSANDS OF FLIES CAN BE
FLOWN AND BROUGHT BACK SO THAT
EVEN IF YOU SEE AN IMPORTANT
DIFFERENCE THAT IT IS SMALL, YOU
CAN GET STATISTICALLY
SIGNIFICANT DATA BECAUSE YOU GET
3,000 FLIES OR 4,000 FLIES
COMING BACK IN A BOX THAT SIZE.
WE HAVE VERY NICE NEW PIECE OF
HARDWARE THAT THE COMPANY HAS
BEEN WORK TOGETHER WITH THEM FOR
THE LAST FEW YEARS, AND IN
DEVELOPING A VERY CAPABLE PIECE
OF HARDWARE.
>> WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT THE
MVP'S IS REALLY THERE ARE TWO
INTERNAL CAROUSELS INSIDE OF THE
UNIT EACH ONE CAN PRODUCE FROM 0
TO 2G SO THE ONLY PAYLOAD OF ITS
KIND IN THE U.S. SEGMENT THAT
COULD DO THIS AND SAMPLE MODULES
THEMSELVES DO TRANSPORT TO AND
FROM THE STATION IN THE CARGO
VEHICLES BUT THE PAYLOAD ITSELF
ONBOARD THE STATION FROM THAT.
WE ARE INTERESTED IN HUMAN
EXPLORATION AND WE WANT TO GO TO
THE MOON AND MARS AND WE WANT TO
EXPLORE THE ENVIRONMENT OUTSIDE
OF LOAFER EARTH ORBIT AND TO DO
THAT, WE NEED THE HELP OF
SURROGATE MODEL ORGANISMS
BECAUSE WE UNDERSTAND THE GENES
AND PATHWAYS WE KNOW WHAT THE
COUNTERMEASURES ARE THAT WE ARE
WORKING FOR.
>> THE LABORATORIES THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION FRO
PROVIDE A HOME FOR DOZENS OF
EXPERIMENTS AT TIME IN A WIDE
RANGE OF SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINE
BUS THE OUTSIDE OF THE STATION
ALSO SUPPORTS SCIENTIFIC
RESEARCH.
THERE IS A BIG EXPERIMENT OUT ON
THE STARBOARD TRUSS, PUTS BACK
IN SERVICE AFTER A SERIES OF
SPACEWALKS AND THAT IS SEARCHING
FOR COSMIC PARTICLES THAT
ORIGINATED BILLIONS OF
LIGHT-YEARS AWAY AND WHICH MAY
HOLD THE KEY TO THE ORIGIN AND
THE COMPOSITION OF THE UNIVERSE.
>> HUMANS HAVE OBSERVED MANY
WONDERS ACROSS THE COSMOS, YET
MUCH OF THE UNIVERSE IS STILL
SHROUDED.
AMONG THOSE MYSTERIES, IS THE
FORMATION OF OUR UNIVERSE, WHICH
HAS RESULTED IN A BALANCE OF
CORRESPONDING COUNT
COUNTERPARTS.
MUCH OF THAT MARE IS THROUGHOUT
TO EXIST IN THE FORM OF DARK
MATTER, WHICH CANNOT BE
OBSERVED, MUCH OF THE ANTIMATTER
CANNOT BE FOUND AT ALL.
STUDYING FUNDAMENTAL PARTNERS
ORIGINATING FROM SOURCES UP TO
BILLIONS EVER LIGHT-YEARS AWAY
AND THEY HOLD THE KEY TO
UNDERSTANDING THE COMPOSITION
AND THE HEIST.
WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF
PARTICLES CURRENTLY BEING
EXPLORED FROM LOW EARTH ORBIT BY
THE MAGNETIC SPECTROMETER
INSTALLING ON THE ISS.
>> PLANET, STARS, GAS, DUST,
ABLE TO OBSERVE ACROSS THE
UNIVERSE COMPRISES LESS THAN 5%
OF THE TOTAL CONTENT FOUND
THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE.
THE OTHER 95% IS DARK.
DARK MATTER AS WELL AS DARK
ENERGY.
♪
♪ DARK MATTER DOESN'T INTERACT
WITH OR ROW DUES LIGHT AS FAR AS
WE KNOW.
IT DOESN'T CONSIST NORMAL MATTER
OR MATTER THAT COULD BE OBSERVED
DIRECTLY.
SO HOW DO YOU IMPROVE
UNDERSTANDING MUCH SOMETHING
THAT CANNOT BE OBSERVED.
ONE WAY IS TO LOOK FOR EVIDENCE
OF THE INTERACTION.
THE ISS PROGRAM CHIEF SCIENTISTS
AT JOHNSON SPACE CENTER EXPLAIN
HOUSE THE GIANT MAGNET IS
WORKING TO HELP SCIENTISTS TEST
AND MODIFY THEIR THEORIES.
SCIENTISTS ARE USING AMS02 TO
LOOK AT COSMIC RAY, CHARGE
PARTICLES THAT TRAVEL NEAR THE
SPEED OF LIGHT.
AMS0 CATEGORIZES LOOK AT HIGH
STRONG SEE THAT PHENOMENON WE
CAN MEASURE CAN COUNT FOR THE
COSMIC RAYS WE ARE SEEING.
BUT IF YOU SEE SOMETHING IN THE
SPEAKER THAT DOESN'T FIT, THEN,
BE THIS COULD BE EVIDENCE OF
DARK MATTER INTERACTIONS.
BY STUDYING COSMIC RAYS, THEY
ARE ALSO ABLE TO SEARCH FOR
ANTIMATTER.
THE BIG BANG THE THINK YAWN
VERSE'S ORIGIN REQUIRES A
50-50RATIO OF MATTER TO
ANTIMATTER BUT TODAY, THE AMOUNT
OF ANTIMATTER FOUND DOESN'T COME
CLOSE TO MATCHING THE AMOUNT OF
MATTER KNOWN TO EXIST.
GOALS OF THE MISSION IS TO
DETECT MATTER AND SEE IF THERE
ARE ANY RANGER COLLECTIONS OF IT
OUT THERE SOMEWHERE.
WHEN PARTICLES PASS THROUGH THE
STRONG FIELD PRODUCED BY AMS02.
IT IS BEN AND ANTIMATTER
PARTICLES STAND OUT BECAUSE THEY
REASON THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION
COMPARED TO MATTER PARTICLES.
THE INSTRUMENT SEARCHES FOR
ANTIMATTER WITH SENSITIVITY
THREE ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE
GREATER THAN THE ORIGINAL WHICH
FLEW IN SPACE IN JUNE OF 1998
ABOARD THE SPACE SHUTTLE
DISCOVERY.
THIS COULD SUPPORT THE DISCOVERY
OF THE ANTIMATTER POOLS THAT
WERE PREVIOUSLY UNDETECTABLE.
A KEY FACTOR IN OUR ABILITY TO
GET THE MOST OUT OF AMS02 IS
TIME.
1:00 ORIGINALLY EXPECTED TO HAVE
A LIFE SPAN OF THREE YEARS THE
INSTRUMENT HAS CONTINUED TO
PERFORM INTO THE EIGHTH YEAR OF
OPERATION ABOARD THE ORBITING
LABORATORY.
IN LATE 2019 AND EARLY 2020
ASTRONAUTS CONDUCTED A SERIES OF
SPACEWALKS TO REPLACE AMS02
COOLING WHICH WERE FAILING.
EXTENDING THE LIFE OF THE
INSTRUMENT WITH WILL PROVIDE
SCIENTIST MORE TIME IN THEIR
QUEST TO UNVEIL SOME OF THE
UNIVERSE'S GREATEST MYSTERIES.

>> ONE KEY TO THE SUCCESSFUL
LONG SPACE JOURNEY IS THE
ABILITY TO PROVIDE FUEL FOR THE
ENGINE AND OXYGEN
THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION
HAS BEEN HOME TO MANY
DEMONSTRATIONS OF TECHNOLOGIES
THAT ARE DESIGNED TO PROVIDE
THOSE CRITICAL SUPPLIES.
AND NASA'S EXPLORATION AND IN
SPACE SERVICES PROJECT DIVISION
AT THE GOODARD SPACEFLIGHT
CENTER HAS SHOWN US THE FIRST
TWO VERSIONS OF THE ROBOTIC
REFUELING MISSION PAYLOAD.
AND IN THE TECH ON DECK EPISODE,
THEY SHOW US RR M3.
>> NOW THE RED PLANET IS WITHIN
OUR REACH, BUT HOW DO WE GET
THERE THIS THE KEY IS IN THE
DETAILS AND THIS IN THE
TECHNOLOGY.
FIRST AND FOREMOST, YOU NEED
FUEL.
THIS IS NOT ONLY TRUE FOR
GETTING TO MARS, BUT ANY FORM OF
DEEP SPACE EXPLORATION.
BEING ABLE TO REPLENISH FUEL
MEANS MASSIVE AMOUNTS ARE NOT
NEEDED UPFRONT FREEING UP SPACE
FOR OTHER IMPORTANT THINGS.
ENTER ROBOTIC REFUELING MISSION
THREE FOR SHORT.
THIS DEMONSTRATION LAUNCHED TO
THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION
IN DECEMBER OF 2018 AND HELPED
US DEVELOP TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES
NEEDED TO REPLENISH FLUID IN
SPACE.
♪
♪ THE FLUIDS HAS NEVER BEEN DONE
BEFORE IN SPACE.
THESE SUPER COLD FLUIDS CAN USED
AS PROPELLENTS, COOLANTS, LIFE
SUPPORT SYSTEMS.
BEING ABLE TO REPLENISH THE
FLUIDS THAT RUN OUT OTHERWISE
KNOWN AS CONSUMES IS IMPORTANT
PART OF THE SUSTAINABLE
EXPLORATION ROAD MAP.
NOT JUST FOR MARS BUT NASA'S
ARTEMIS PROGRAM WHICH WILL LAND
THE FIRST BECOME AND THE NEXT
MAN ON THE MOON.
SINCE REFUEL IN SPACE HAS NEVER
BEEN DONE BEFORE, R M3 TESTED
THE TECHNIQUES NEEDED TO MAKE
THAT POSSIBLE.
FIRST, WE SENT THE PAYLOAD AND
THE THREE MAIN TOOLS TO SPACE
STATION FOR ASTRONAUTS ASSEMBLED
THE PARTS.
>> I WAS LIVING ABOARD THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION IN
THE SPRING OF 2019 I WAS
FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO TAKE PART IN
THE SMALL PART IN THE ROBOTIC
REFUELING MISSION 3.
AND MY JOB WAS TO UNLOAD THE
COMPONENTS OF THE ACTUAL RR M3
FROM ONE OF THE VISITING
VEHICLES AND WE TAKE IT INTO OUR
JAPANESE MODULE, THE GEM, WHERE
WE HAVE AIRLOCK, AND RIGHT
INSIDE OF THE AIRLOCK, WE
UNPACKED ALL OF THE BOXES MUCH
LIKE YOU WOULD A PIECE OF
FURNITURE THAT YOU HAD TO
ASSEMBLE YOURSELF AT HOME.
UNPACK THE PIECES AM WE DID A
CHECKOUT.
WE WORKED WITH THE GROUND.
WE GOT EVERYTHING ASSEMBLED THEN
WE PLACED IT INTO THE JAPANESE
AIRLOCK AND FROM THERE WE ARE
ABLE TO PUT IT OUTSIDE OF THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION SO
MY INVOLVEMENT IN RR M3 WAS THE
PHYSICAL FINAL ASSEMBLY OF THE
ACTUAL COMPONENTS.
>> R M3 WAS DELIVERED TO THE
SPACE STATION VIA SPACEX DRAGON
ON THE COMPANY'S 16th
RESUPPLY SERVICES MISSION AND
INSTALLED ON THE OUTSIDE STATION
BY THE A CANADIAN ROBOT DEXTER.
DEXTER THEN PICKED UP THE TOOL
INTERESTS THE AIRLOCK AND
INSTALLED THEM TON THE R M3 PAID
PAYLOAD THE GROUNDS OPERATION
TEAM WAS NOW READY TO BEGIN
OPERATING THE THREE TOOLS TO
TEST HOW THEY WOULD WORK IN
SPACE.
FOR THE FIRST SET OF OPERATIONS
, CONDUCTED IN AUGUST OF 2019,
DEXTER USED ONE OF THE R M3
TOOLS TO PREPARE THE R M3
MODULE'S INTERFACE FOR
TRANSFERRING CRYOGENIC FUEL.
THE SECOND SET OF OPERATIONS WAS
THEN CONDUCTED IN OCTOBER OF
2020.
FOR THESE, DEXTER USED ONE OF
THE REMANNING TWO TOOLS TO
INSERT 11-FOOT LONG HOSE IN OPEN
PORT IN OTHER SNAKE-LIKE CAMERA
INSPECTION TOOL TO VERIFY THE
HOSE'S POSITION INSIDE OF THE R
M3 TUBING.
THIS MARKS THE FIRST TIME THAT
DEXTER HAD ACTUALS IN BOTH ARMS
WORKING THE SAME TAXES
SIMULTANEOUSLY THE DEMONSTRATION
ADD EXPERIENCE ANTS INFORMATION
TO NASA'S KNOWLEDGE IS ABOUT ON
THE STORAGE AND TRANSFERRING
CRYOGENIC FLUIDS IN SPACE AND
STILL ON STATION WHERE IT WILL
CONDUCT ONE FINAL SET OF
OPERATION IN MID 2022.
FORGETTING TO THE MOON, MARS,
AND BEYOND, CRYOGENIC FLUID WILL
BE USED TO MAINTAIN LIFE SUPPORT
SYSTEMS FOR ASTRONAUTS.
THE MARS ATMOSPHERE IS MADE IT
UP OF CARBON DIE OXIDE WHICH CAN
CONVERTED TO A TYPE OF CRYOGENIC
FLUID WHICH CAN USED FOR
BREATHING AND PROPELLANT.
ASTRONAUTS MAY BE ABLE TO FUEL
ROCKETS OR REPLENISH THE OXYGEN
SUP SUPPLIES USING SOUND IN THE
MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE.
A TOOL CALLED MARS OXYGEN
RESOURCE UTILIZATION EXPERIMENT
IS SET TO DEMONSTRATE THE FIRST
EVER CONVERSION OF MARTIAN
CARBON DIOXIDE TO OXYGEN WHICH
IS ANOTHER IMPORTANT PIECES THE
PUZZLE.
IN ORDER TO MAKE A SUSTAINED
HUMAN PRESENCE IN SPACE REALITY,
HUGE AND ROBOTS WILL HAVE TO
WORK TOGETHER USING TECHNOLOGIES
LIKE THOSE DEVELOPED BY R M3.
YOU AT LOVE PEOPLE ASKED ABOUT
WHOSE JOB IS IT EXPLORING OUTER
SPACE.
IT IS IT ROBOTS OR HUMANS?
I BELIEVE IT REQUIRES TEAM WORK
BETWEEN ROBOTS AND HUMANS THAT
OUR EXPLORATION IS NOT COMPLETE
OR EVEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT BOTH.
SO ROBOTS CAN GO FURTHER AND
THEY ARE LESS EXPENSIVE THEN,
THEN, THEY CAN GO FOR LONGER
PERIODS OF TIME AND DON'T
REQUIRE AS MUCH MAINTENANCE YOU
DON'T HAVE TO FEED AND CARE FOR
ROBOT LOOK YOU DO IF YOU SEN ME
BACK TO SPACE.
SO LIKE THE MARS RECOVER, THEY
EXPLORE JUPITER AND THE HUBBLE
AND THE SOON TO BE JAMES WEBB
SPACE TELESCOPE THEY ARE DOING
MISSIONS IN LOCATIONS THAT
HUMANS TO DO THE POINT DON'T
HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO GO AND
ALSO SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT
ABOUT HUMANS WANTS TO KNOW WHAT
IT IS LIKE TO BE THERE.
YOU KNOW?
IT IS NOT ENOUGH FOR HUMANS TO
TAKE A PICTURE OF MOUNT AND SAY,
OK, THAT IS WHAT IT LOOK LIKE.
THE HUMAN CONDITION IS WE ARE
BORN TO EXPLORE AND WE ARE BORN
TO SAY WHAT IF.
WHAT IS JUST BEYOND WHAT WE
KNOW.
AND WHAT IS LIABILITY TO BE
THERE AND THEN SO THE HUMAN SIDE
OF SPACE EXPLORATION IS THE
MAGNITUDE CLOSER TO EARTH AND WE
CANNOT HAVE AND NOT BEEN ABLE TO
SEND HUMANS NEARLY AS WE ARE
ABLE TO SEND AT PROBES BUT TWO
DIFFERENT MISSIONS AND THEY
SERVE A DIFFERENT TYPE OF
CURIOSITY.
>> MARS AND DEEP SPACE ARE
CALLING HUMAN EXPLORERS AND IT
IS A STEP TOWARD HELPING NASA
ANSWER THAT CALL.
AND THOUGH IT SOUNDS THE IDEA IS
SIMPLE.
HAVING THE ABILITY TO REFUEL
WILL ALLOW TO EMBARK TO EXPLORE
THE DEPTHS OF OUR SOLAR SYSTEM.
>> ROBOTIC TECHNOLOGY ORIGINALLY
DESIGNED FOR USE ON THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION HAS
FUND NEW APPLICATION IN HEALTH
CARE AS PART OF A TELEROBOTTIC
TECHNOLOGY TO PROVIDE MRI GUIDED
BREAST BIOPSIES TO WOMEN IN
REMOTE AREAS.
THE CANADIAN SPACE AGENCY
CONTRIBUTE THE PRODUCTION OF
THIS FEATURE ABOUT INNOVATIONS
OF INNOVATION IN THE HAMILTON,
ONTARIO.
SPACE REPRESENTS FAIRLY HARSH
ENVIRONMENT.
A PIECE OF EQUIPMENT THAT IS
EXPOSED TO IT OVER A LONG PERIOD
OF TIME AND WOULD REQUIRE
MAINTENANCE AND ANY TIME WE VERY
TO DONE HER TO SIDE OF THIS
SPACE STATION.
THE CREW MEMBER HAS TO SUIT UP
AND GO OUTSIDE AND THAT
INTRODUCE THE CREWMEMBERS TO
RISKS AND PUTS THAT PERSON IN
HARM'S WAY THE OTHER ISSUE THAT
IS NOW THEN?
THE TIME DOING THE MAINTENANCE
WORK AND NOT DOING THE SCIENCE
WHICH IS WHAT THE PURPOSE IS.
♪
♪ SO WITH THE CHALLENGES WE ARE
GOING TO HAVE WITH THE
INTERNATIONAL SURFACE STATION WE
FOUND IN THE POSITIONS TO
PROVIDE SOLUTION AND, DE HE WAS
GOING TO BE A THAT SOLUTION.
DEXTER IS A TWO-ARMED ROBOTIC
MANIPULATOR SYSTEM CAPABLE
PROVIDING FINE MOTION TASKS TO
REPLACE WHAT AN ASTRONAUT WOULD
NEED TO DID ON THE EXTERIOR PART
OF THE SPACE STATION.
DEXTER IS EVENTUALLY HANDYMAN.
IT RITE PREY ON THE OUTSIDE OF
THE INTERNATIONAL STATION AND
ALLOWS US TO DO MAINTENANCE AND
ONE OF THE ADVANTAGES OF DEXTER
IS WE ARE ABLE TO CONTROL IT
FROM THE GROUND AND SO THE
GROUND CREW COULD ACTUALLY
OPERATE THE SYSTEMS AND FREE THE
ASTRONAUT UP FROM THAT TASK AS
WELL SO NOW THAT DEXTRE IS
ON-LINE AND OPERATING ON REGULAR
BASIS.
WE GOT CREW SPENDING MORE TIME
DOING SCIENCE.
IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE ITS THE
WHOLE IDEA OF BUILDING THE
INTERNATIONAL SURFACE STATION TO
DO SCIENCE IN LOWER EARTH ORBIT.
1:00.
>> ONLY 40% SHOULD BE GETTING
ANNUAL MRI AS PARTED OF
SCREENING.
PART OF THE REASON WHY WE DID
MRI SCREENING BECAUSE WAS LOOK
OF ACCESS TO BEST RADIOLOGIST.
>> SOME WOMEN HAVE TO DRIVE VERY
LONG DISTANCE, LIKE SEVEN OR
EIGHT HOURS IN A CAR OR LONGER
IN THE WINTER, SOMETIMES WE ARE
SEEING THAT.
♪
>> WHEN WE STARTED TO DO THE
RESEARCH IN AS? ON THE WHOLE
REMOTE SURGERY, WE STARTED TO
GET INVOLVED WITH NB.
NBA IS A CANADIAN COMPANY WHICH
HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN
MANUFACTURING ALL ROBOTIC
SYSTEMS WHICH ICE ON THE SPACE
STATION.
WE DEVELOPED A SYSTEM.
IT STANDS FOR IMAGE GUIDED
AUTOMATED ROBOT.
>> PIT IS A TELEOPERATOR ROBOT.
THAT PERFORMS BIOPSIES UNDER MRI
GUIDANCE.
ONE OF THE CAPABILITIES IS TO BE
VOLED BY RADIOLOGISTS.
THAT ALLOWS BASICALLY A
RADIOLOGIST TO SUPER VICE MRI
BREAST BIOPSY AND PATIENT WHO
MAY BE HUNDREDS OF KILOMETERS OR
THOUSANDS OF KILOMETERS AWAY
FROM THEM.
IT MEANS THE PATIENT CAN
UNDERGO THE BREAST BIOPSY IN THE
OWN LOCAL HOSPITAL WITHOUT
HAVING THE NEED TO TRAVEL TO
ANOTHER CITY OR ANOTHER HOSPITAL
TO GET ACCESS TO THEIR EX
FIERCE.
AND THE RESULTS ARE VERY, VERY
ENCOURAGING, SO WE DEMONSTRATED
THAT IGAR IS SAFE AND EXTREMELY
ACCURATE AS ACCURATE AS A HUMAN.
>> THIS WILL ALLOW US TO,
HOPEFULLY, INCREASE A NUMBER OF
PEOPLE UNDERGOING SCREENING
CLOSE TO 100% WHERE IT SHOULD
BE.
SO IGAR IS BUILT ON MANY OF THE
KNOW HOW I WAS DEVELOPED FOR THE
SPACE PROGRAM AND AS WELL AS THE
SOFTWARE WHICH IS ALSO USED TO
CONTROL THE ROBOTICS OF THE
SPACE STATION.
WE CAN ACTUALLY SEE THESE
TECHNOLOGIES WE WORKED WITH FOR
LONG TIME AND BECOMING AVAILABLE
AND WE HAVE A LOT OF IN SIGHT IN
HOW TO APPLY THEM AND NOT JUST
IN MEDICINE, BUT IN NUMBER OF
OTHER FIELDS WHICH IS WHAT WE
ARE DOING.
WITHOUT THE SPACE STATION WOULD
THAT HAVE HAPPENED.
NO.
NOT REALLY.
NOT IN THAT WAY ANYWAY.
>> ASTRONAUTS SPEND SOME OF
THEIR TIME DOING SCIENCE.
SOME OF THEIR TIME KEEPING THEIR
SPACECRAFT OPERATING SAFELY AND
TIME SOMETIMES THEY HELP EXPLAIN
SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS TO INSTITUTE
STUDENTS ON ETHER.

>> NEWTON SAYS OBJECT AT REST

LET'S LOOK AT THAT FROM ANOTHER
ANGEL.
OVER THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE
STATION SLOWS DOWN FROM
EXPERIENCING A VERY SMALL AMOUNT
OF DRAG OR FORCE FROM A TINY
AMOUNT OF OXYGEN IN SPACE.
THIS IS LIKE THE FORCE YOU FEEL
FROM THE AIR IF YOU STICK YOUR
HAND OUT OF A MOVING CAR BECAUSE
OF THIS, THE SPACE STATION DOES
WHAT WE CALL A REBOOT, A REBOOT
USES ROCKET ENGINES TO PUT A
FORCE ON THE SPACE STATION.
THIS ALLOWS IT TO SPEED UP JUST
A LITTLE TO REMAIN IN ORBIT
