>>> GOOD MORNING AND WELCOME TO
A LOOK INSIDE THE INTERNATIONAL
SPACE STATION FLIGHT CONTROL
ROOM.
THESE FOLKS, THESE ONES RIGHT
HERE ARE THE SPECIALIST
MONITORING THE OPERATION OF ALL
SYSTEMS AND HELPING THE
EXPEDITION 66 CREW MEMBERS AS
THEY DO THEIR WORK IN ORBIT.
HIS AMERICAN, RUSSIAN, AND
GERMAN CREW ARE DAYS A WAY FROM
OPENING THE HATCHETTITE ARRIVE
ON ORBIT.
>> WELCOME TO SPACE TO GROUND.
THE CREW IS PREPARING FOR A
HOLIDAY DELIVERY AND DREAMING OF
SUGARPLUMS.
CARGO DRAGON IS PREPARING FOR
IT'S LAUNCH ON DECEMBER 21st.
THIS IS THEIR 21st CARGO
MISSION.
LAUNCHING FROM LAUNCH COMPLEX 39
A FROM NASA'S KENNEDY SPACE
CENTER IN FLORIDA.
WE WILL TALK WITH THE STATION
THE FOLLOWING DAY AT 4:30 A.M.
THEY WILL DELIVER THOUSANDS OF
POUNDS OF GOODS INCLUDING NEW
INVESTIGATIONS SUCH AS FOUR NEW
CUBES AND IMPROVE THE DELIVERY
OF CANCER TREATMENT DRUGS AND
HAND HELD PRINTER THAT WILL TEST
TECHNOLOGY THAT WILL BE USED TO
PRESS TISSUE ON WOUNDS TO
ACCELERATE HEALING AND SEVERAL
FROM UNIVERSITY STUDENTS WITH
CITIZEN SCIENCE AND SPOT
PROGRAM.
BE SURE TO FOLLOW ALONG ON NASA
TV, NASA.GOV, OR THE NASA APP AS
WE CONTINUE TO FOLLOW THE
MISSION LEADING UP TO LAUNCH AND
DOCUMENTS.
WE DREAM OF WHAT IT WILL BE LIKE
TO BE IN SPACE.
WHILE LIVING ON THE SPACE
STATION THEY WILL EXPERIENCE
SUNRISE AND SUNSET 16 TIMES PER
DAY.
IT CAN CAUSE DISRUPTION TO THEIR
RHYTHM AND ABILITY TO SLEEP.
THEY WILL STUDY THIS IN THE
SPACE PATTERN AND EXAMINE HOW
THEIR MINDS ADAPT TO GRAVITY.
MALLER WILL BE THE NEXT
ASTRONAUT TO TAKE PLACE IN THE
STUDY.
HE WILL WEAR A HEAD BAND.
IT WILL LOOK AT HOW HE ADAPTS
AND SLEEP PATTERNS CHANGE.
THIS IS THE KEY CHALLENGE FACING
FUTURE LONG DURATION MISSIONS TO
THE MOON AND MARS.
TODAY'S ASK NASA QUESTION COMES
FROM GRACE RITTER ON TWITTER WHO
ASKED HOW DO ASTRONAUTS KEEP
CLEAN IN SPACE.
THEY KEEP CLEAN IN SPACE THE
SAME WAY WE DUOON EARTH.
THEY DAILY HYGIENE ACTIVITIES TO
WASH THEIR HANDS AND FACE.
THEY GIVE EACH OTHER HAIRCUTS.
THEY WIPE CLEAN BY USING A WET
TILE AND USE WATERLESS CHAPEL
POO.
THEY WILL USE DRY TOWELS TO DRY
OFF.
THEY HAVE WEEKLY HOUSEKEEPING
TIPS AND VACUUM AIR VENTS.
THEY DISINFECT AND WIPE DOWN
SURFACES THAT ARE FREQUENTLY
TOUCHED THROUGHOUT THE DAY.
HAND HOLDS AND THE TABLE
TYPICALLY THERE ARE SIX MEANT TO
KEEP THEIR STATION HOME IN A
CLEAN AND SAFE ENVIRONMENT.
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING.
SEE YOU NEXT WEEK.
>> ASTRONAUTS ARE REPAIR
TECHNICIANS WHEN SOMETHING NEEDS
A REPAIR.
THEY WILL TEST THE USEFULNESS
WHILE REPAIRING THE COLD ADAM
LAB.
THAT PROVIDED THE TEAM WITH A
LIVE ID OF THE SCENE.
LET THEM INSERT VIRTUAL GRAPHICS
INTO THE FIELD OF VIEW
>> WE ARE JUST NOW JOINING THE
MEETING YOU INITIATED AND SEE
YOUR VIDEO, IT'S GOOD.
>> WE HAVE BEEN USEFUL FOR
GUIDANCE AS WE WORK TO FREE
HARNESS CABLES AND REPLACE IT
WITH A SLIGHT 7B.
>> WE CAN TALK YOU THROUGH MOST
OF THE STUFF SO YOU DON'T HAVE
TO REFER TO THE PROCEDURE.
>> CONNECT THE FASTENERS ON
EITHER SIDE.
>> WE WILL REMOVE AND REPLACE
AND REPLACE EXISTING PIECE OF
HARDWARE.
IT'S VERY IMPORTANT.
>> WE WILL CONTINUE THIS.
IT'S 554 AND ON P 16.
>> IT'S FOR THE FUTURE AND OPEN
UP A NEW BRANCH AND RESEARCH.
>> THERE IS AN INSTALL AND
VERTICAL REALITY GLASSES.
[ APPLAUSE ]
>> THE MICROGRAVITY IN EARTH'S
OBJECT BIT MAKES THE
INTERNATIONAL ONE OF A KIND SPOT
TO FIND OUT HOW NATURAL FORCES
FUNCTION WITHOUT THE INFLEW ABS
OF GRAVITY.
JACK FISHER USED A FEW SIMPLE
TOOLS THERE IS NO POLAR GRAVITY.
>> WE WOULD LIKE THE COOLEST
PART OF HAVING THE EXPERIMENTS
ON THE SPACE STATION.
WE CAN SEPARATE ONE OF THE MOST
DOMINANT FORCES GRAVITY ON A LOT
OF DIFFERENT MODELS.
IT'S DOMINATED BY GRAVITY ON
EARTH AND IF THERE ARE OTHER
FORCES WE CAN MAKE GREATER
DISCOVERIES.
I'LL SHOW YOU TODAY BY TAKING
THIS WONDERFUL THING.
WE BLOW INTO IT.
WE REPLACE THE FLUID.
THEY COVER MY FACE.

>> SUPPORTING SCIENTIFIC
RESEARCH.
TWO OF THE OVER ARCHING GOALS OF
THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION.
AND THE LAST FEW YEARS.
THEY ARE MAKING GOOD PROGRESS ON
THAT FRONT TOO.
>> THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE
STATION HAS PROVEN TO BE A ONE
OF A KIND LABORATORY.
MICROGRAVITY CONDITIONS IS
IMPOSSIBLE TO DUPLICATE.
THEY HAVE ALSO PROVEN TO HAVE
THE CAPACITY TO SURVIVE AS AN
INCUBATOR.
THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW SPACE
DEVELOPMENT.
>> IT'S THE BUSINESS OF DOING
BUSINESS AT THE INTERNATIONAL
SPACE STATION.
THIS IS WITHIN THE LAST TWO
YEARS.
HE'S THE MANAGER OF THE SPACE
STATION OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
HE EXPLAINS HOW BUSINESSES ARE
ENABLING THE SEARCH.
SUPPORTING ALL OF THE RECERTIFY
ACTIVITIES COMPANIES LIKE
BIOSEVER AND OTHERS OPERATE OVER
20 COMMERCIAL RESEARCH
FACILITIES.
HOUSE ON THE STATION.
COMPANIES PROVIDE SERVICES.
HELPING RESEARCH THEIR
EXPERIMENTS.
IT'S A HARDWARE STRONG ENOUGH TO
BE HOUSED ON THE STATION.
ALL OF THESE COMMERCIAL
ACTIVITIES.
INCIDENTTIES OR EXPERIENCE
CONDUCTING BUSINESS IN SPACE.
AS THEY INCREASED THE
OPPORTUNITY FOR COMPANIES TO
PREFORM RESEARCH ON THE SPACE
STATION THE NUMBERS AND TYPES OF
COMPANIES TAKING ADVANTAGE WILL
ALSO INCREASE.
THAT INTERNAL WILL HELP KEEP THE
PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN NASA AS
BUSINESS THRIVING.
NOTE, SOON WE HOPE TO SEE
PRIVATE ASTRONAUTS AS PART OF
THE REALLY COMMERCIAL
DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM.
SOME OF THEM MIGHT BE RESEARCHER
ASTRONAUTS.
THEY WORK FOR A COMPANY AND
TRAINED TO COME WORK IN THE
STATION DURING PRIVATE ASTRONAUT
MISSIONS.
TO ENABLE THE BEGINNING OF
DEVELOPMENT FOR A NEXT
GENERATION COMMERCIALLY BUILT
PLATFORM.
THE STATION IS HOSTING NEW
COMMERCIAL MODULES.
THE AIRLOCK BECAME OPERATIONAL
IN 2021 AND THEY PLAN TO LAUNCH
A MODULE TO EXPAND FOR RESEARCH
AND OTHER ACTIVITIES ON THE
STATION.
NASA'S COMMERCIAL RESUPPLY AND
CREW PROGRAMS ARE ALSO ENABLING
MULTIPLE COMPANIES TO DEVELOP
AND OPERATE THE NEXT GENERATION
OF SPACECRAFTS.
THIS TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM
THE STATION FUELED THE GROWING
MARKET SHARE OF U.S. LAUNCH
PROVIDERS IN THE MARKETPLACE.
ADDITIONAL RESEARCH TIME AND
OTHER OPPORTUNITIES FOR
DISCOVERY OF NASA'S MISSION OR
SPACE EXPLORATION.
IT'S BECOMING THE TEMPLATE FOR
THE NEW EXPLORATION.
THEY HAVE THE GOAL OF LANDING
THE FIRST WOMAN AND PERSON OF
COLOR.
IN ADDITION THE PLAN INCLUDES
ESTABLISHING A LUNAR OUT POSTBY
PRIVATE COMPANIES.
DOING BUSINESS IN SPACE.
THIS IS IS BUSINESSES ON EARTH.
IT'S EXPANDED BY 60%.
VALUED AT $400 BILLION.
THAT COMMERCIAL SUCCESS IS
MATCHED IN IMPORTANCE BUT THE
KNOWLEDGE GAINED IT WITHSTANDS
HUNDREDS OF DISCIPLINES THIS IS
EUROPES TO COME.

>> THE ASTRONAUTS THAT FLEW TO
THE SPACE STATION ON THE CREW
THREE MISSION HAS BEEN WORKING
TOGETHER FOR MORE THAN A YEAR
NOW.
YOU THINK THEY WOULD HAVE GOTTEN
TO KNOW EACH OTHER PRETTY WELL.
WATCH AS ROGER, TOM, ALL DECLARE
WHOA ON THE CREW IS THE
FUNNIEST.
FIND OUT WHICH IS THE MOST
PROCASHIOUS AND WHY.
>> SUPER FAST ANALYSIS.
>> FUNNY, CARING, AND CONFIDENT.
>> HE SAID SUPER TALENTED AND
FUN TO WORK WITH.
>> I WOULD SAY CREATIVE AND
TEACHER.
SILENT, QUIET, WITH A LOT OF
EXPERIENCE.
>> WISE.
>> KAILA IS A GREAT
COMMUNICATOR.
>> SO MUCH EXPERIENCE BEING IN A
CONFINED ENVIRONMENT.
>> HE'S A CONSTANT INNOVATOR.
>> INNOVATIVE.
>> GRINDER.
>> ROGER.
>> TOM HE DOESN'T TALK ABOUT IT
A LOT BUT DID A LOT OF CRAZY
MOUNTAIN CLIMBING.
>> I THINK THAT WOULD BE NEAT.
>> LOOKING OUT THE WINDOW WITH
EACH ONE INDIVIDUALLY AND DOING
SUPER MU MAN STRAIGHTS TOGETHER.
>> SHARING OUR DREAM.
>> I'M LOOKING DOWN ON THE
EARTH.
>> COMING UP WITH CRAZY CONTION.
>> PROBABLY ME OR GRINDER;
UNFORTUNATELY.
>> PROBABLY KAILA.
>> KAILA.
>> I DON'T KNOW.
WE SHOULD HAVE ONE.
>> PROBABLY TALKING TO MYSELF
WHEN I'M THINKING.
>> I HAVE MORE INTER MONOLOGUE.
>> I SHOULD ASK.
>> LET ME KNOW WHAT THEY SAY.
>> PROBABLY ME.
>> THAT WOULD BE ME.
>> THAT'S ME.
>> THE LIFEBLOOD IN THE SPACE
STATION COOLING SYSTEM IS
AMMONIA.
IT CARRIES IT OUT TO THE
RADIATOR.
IF THEY SPRUNG A LEAK OUTSIDE
THERE ARE SPACEWALKING
ASTRONAUTS TO FIND THE WHOLE.
NOT TODAY THEY DEVELOPED THE
LEAK LOCATER TOOL AND EXTERIOR
STORAGE THAT MAKES REPORT.
>> HOW DO PEOPLE -- LIQUID
AMMONIA IN PIPE THROUGHOUT THE
STATION KEEP THE TEMPERATURE
HABITABLE.
EVERY SO OFTEN THEY SPRING A
SMALL LEAK.
TYPICALLY POSE NO THREAT
DISTRAINS.
THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM.
THEY LOCATE THE LEAK DID
YOURTION A SPACEWALK.
>> THE ISS PROGRAM RECOGNIZED
EARLY ON.
IT'S A BIG PROBLEM.
IT'S SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED
EVERY FEW YEARS.
THEY WOULD DO AND MONITOR
PRESSURE IN VARIOUS PARTS OF THE
SYSTEM.
USING THE TOOLS TO ISOLATE INTO
SOME SEGMENT OF THE OVERALL
SYSTEM.
THEY DON'T HAVE THE CAPABILITY
OF PINPOINTING RESOLUTIONS.
>> THE ROBOTIC EXPERIENCE THEY
CAN DETECT AMMONIA LEAKS OUTSIDE
THE STATION.
THEY CAN LOCATE AN AMMONIA LEAK
FOR A FRACTION OF THE TIME.
THE ROBOTIC ARM USES TWO
INSTRUMENTS BETWEEN THE GAME OF
HOT AND COLD.
>> THIS WILL TELL YOU THE LOCAL
PRESSURE WERE IT'S POINTED AND
EQUAL TO THE NUMBER OF
MOLECULES.
IT'S A BIT MORE COMPLEX AND NOT
ONLY TELLS YOU HOW MUCH YOU HAVE
IS.
>> IT'S ABLE TO DETECT IT AND
IT'S SURROUNDING REVEALING THE
COOLING SYSTEM.
THE FINAL SUCCESS OF THE TOOL
LAUNCHED IN 2017 AND THE SECOND
WAS LAUNCHED IN 2019.
PICKED UP FOR LEAK LOCATING.
FINALLY RETURN TO THE AIRLINE.
THE ROBOTIC TOOL ACT LIKE A
GARAGE AT THE HOTEL.
THE OUTSIDE OF THE STATION THAT
HAS TWO TO PROVIDE MOUNTAIN
USAGE.
>> IT WAS LAUNCHED IN DECEMBER
OF 2019.
IT'S BEEN IN THE SPACE STATION
FOR A YEAR NOW AND IT'S BEEN
KEPT IN STORAGE IN A FOAM BOX
AND STARTING AT THE SPACE
STATION AND THE SPACEWALK WAS
PERFORMED.
>> THIS IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE THAT
HAVE ROBOTS AND CAN ENABLE US TO
HUMAN COMPANY IN SPACE.
THE TOOLS ARE EASY TO USE,
COST-EFFECTIVE, AND SAFE.
>> IT'S DONE BY CONTROLLING IT
IN THE GROUND.
THAT WILL SAVE THEM TIME AND WE
WON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT.
>> THEY ARE UTILIZED TO KEEP
THEM SAFE AND OUR TEAM CONTINUES
TO DEVELOP AND BUILD ON THE
TECHNOLOGY ON THE GROUND.
>> ONE THING I'M EXCITED ABOUT
IS THIS IS THE EVOLUTION OF
SYSTEMS WE BUILT.
IT'S VERY VALUABLE AND ANY TIME
YOU CAN POSTPONE TO MARS.
ROBOTIC SERVICING.
SPECIALIZED TOOLS.
WE WILL KEEP THEM PROTECTED.
>> IMAGE THE ABILITY THE TYPE OF
GAS PRESENT AND ABILITY TO
LOCATE LEAKS HAS APPLICATIONS
BEYOND SPACE STATION.
ANYWHERE THERE IS A HABITAT IT
WILL PROBABLY RELEASE GASES.
THIS WILL IMPACT FUTURE
EXPLORATION.
>> THE CAPABILITY TO THE SPACE
STATION.
>> WE ARE CAPABLE GROUP OF FOLKS
BEHIND US.
THIS IS A PARTICULARLY SPECIAL
AREA.
GET INVOLVED WITH THIS FROM THE
BEGINNING.
YOU CAN SEE THEM ILLUMINATE.
>> CONGRATULATIONS.
>> ONE OF THE BEST PARTS OF
BEING AN ASTRONAUT ONBOARD THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION, SO
I'M TOLD IS LOOKING OUT THE
WINDOWS.
IN THE DEMOCRAT ASTRONAUT WILL
TALK ABOUT THE DIAGNOSIS STATION
AND SHOW US THE AMAZING IMAGES.
250 MILES STRAIGHT UP.
>> HELLO, I'M RANDY AND WANT TO
KNOW WHAT THE BEST PART ABOUT
BEING AN ASTRONAUT UP IN SPACE
IS A VIEW OF THE EARTH FROM THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION.
VIEWING THE EARTH FROM SPACE IS
A BIG PART OF OUR JOB.
IN ADDITION TO ANY OTHER
FUNCTIONS THE INTERNATIONAL
SPACE STATION SERVES AS A
DIAGNOSIS STATION ACROSS THE
GLOBE.
THERE ARE ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES.
TAKE A LOOK.
>> THE SPACE STATION OFFERS A
UNIQUE VANTAGE POINT FROM
OBSERVING THE ECOSYSTEM AND
AUTOMATED CAMERAS.
THESE TOOLS ENABLE ASTRONAUTS TO
OBSERVE AND EXPLAIN WHAT THEY
ARE WITNESSING IN REALTIME.
THE IMAGE CAPTURE EQUIPMENT ON
THE SPACE STATION ROMERO VIEDS
INPUT TO PERSONNEL BACK ON
EARTH.
PROGRAMMING THE AUTOMATED
SYSTEMS PROVIDING FLEXIBILITY
AND ADVANTAGE OVER UNMANNED
SPACECRAFT.
SCIENTIST AND RESEARCHERS ARE
USEFUL AND UNEXPECTED NATURAL
VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS, EARTHQUAKES,
FIRES, AND FLOODS.
DATA SHARING THAT CAN BENEFIT
PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD.
PROMOTING INTERNATIONAL
COLLABORATION ON A RANGE OF
OBSERVATION ACTIVITIES.
A WIDE VERITY IS ATTACHED TO
EXTERIOR.
SEVERAL INSTRUMENTS HAVE BEEN
INSTALLED AND RESEARCHERS FROM
AROUND THE GLOBE HAVE ADDITIONAL
PAID LOADS. CONTINUING TO USE A
COMBINATION OF AUTOMATED EARTH
OPERATION PAYLOAD.
THEY COLLECT IMPORTANT DATA AND
HAZARD TO THE HEALTH OF
HUMANITY.
THE WINDOW OBSERVATION FACILITY
WE CALL IT THE WARF CALL IT THE
INTERNAL MOUNTING PLATFORM.
