Spacewalk to Conduct Maintenance Outside the International Space Station

Structural integrity will then route cables to provide ethernet capabilities for two high-definition cameras on the

station

's port shell or spine also inside the mission's airlock at the time you see NASA astronaut Kate rubins, there are seven people currently living aboard the

international

space

station

which is michael hopkins victor glover shannon walker and kate rubins from nasa soichinoguchi from jaxa and sergey rizhikov and sergey kuzkov from roscosmos houston in one for general words so eric we are looking to change this comb cap but we hope to be able to do it in 10 minutes to avoid the depressing time of having to press the airlock again, we definitely don't want to rush or make mistakes but that will be the goal and since you guys have already completed it we know you are experts and that's ten. minutes from the time we put the glove on the suit until we open the helmet we take off the old one or we take off the um we take off the heka before the 10 minutes start can you give us a very specific certain step so kate in the step 9 decimal 2? of that pause in the pre-breathing procedure two decimal one zero seven there is a warning that you will be given more words is step nine decimal three to step thirteen which must be performed in ten minutes of exercise while listening to the teams on the field The crew at the mission airlock discuss the communications cap worn by Mike Hawkins.

There are several spares on board and he's having trouble hearing with his calm cap, so they'll change that cap while we continue preparations for today's

space

walk floating in the frame. It's Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency Jaxa astronaut Soichinoguchi helping the crew members prepare for today. We see in step seven, uh, that we will deal with the hd emu camera before the critical moment, so that sounds good and we are looking at nine decimals two or 93 to 13 will be achieved in 10 minutes and we will discuss here and get back to you good words Kate, thank you as you heard that Rubens mentioned that they will have a 10 minute time frame to complete the work of removing and replacing the Meanwhile, the astronauts are currently in the pre-breathing portion of today's preparations.

The pre-breathing consists of two phases: in the first, the crew breathes 100 percent oxygen through a mask to begin purging the nitrogen from their bodies and in the second phase, which is where we see the members of the crew now in their spacesuits and doing something called light exercise inside the suit or hallway where they move their arms and legs and increase their metabolic rate slightly to help speed up the removal of excess nitrogen. when you're ready to copy, we're ready to copy, so we're going to follow the same procedure that we did today two decimals one zero seven break in emu in suit before the breeze, you'll do the steps from six to ten decimal four and then into ten decimal four , it will turn off the toilet, change the comcaps, then change the combo back to lever, then we will ask you to follow the steps from 10 decimal 6 to 17 decimal 2 and then finish with 17 decimal 4 until the end of the procedure how to copy uh starting from step six to ten decimal four then off mode slot from the combo cover the back to pry I guess you want to do the communications check we're on a brief satellite transfer and you have a live look inside mission control houston the team orbit 2 currently on console leading today's team is chris edelman the flight director and uh capcom for the astronauts inside the

international

space station is kathy bolt however relaying the tasks to the astronauts once outside the space station is andy mogensen a European space from that astronaut agency after changing the communication mode to pry and we will actually ask you to do the communication check after the 10 minutes so we won't eat that okay I understand so no we will do the communication check after the clearing price so let's go to 10.6 to 17 decimal 2 then 17 decimal fold all the way good reading suichi and you three two a final exercise and the only thing I'm going to add to that we noticed the last time is when we change the communication caps we're going to give it three turns um on the comcap we cut it for ike's um but that's important because that's not our usual copy.

Good capture procedure is the critical ones where the 10 minute timer applies. Those are good words. Kate three two one. start the exercise when you heard the call to start the exercise we were discussing, that's the light exercise protocol inside the suit and it's a vague term for exercise, it's really just moving your legs in the spacesuit to help purge the nitrogen of the bodies of the astronauts and the crew. Members, uh, Suicina Gucci and Kate Rubens, are getting ready to trade the clown cap for NASA astronaut Michael Hopkins, he's ev2 today and having trouble transmitting through his comm cap.

Currently Houston airlock on one, no response required, but both crew members will be miked, uh until later. Look, thumbs up, zen, a little airlock, Houston, in one, just a clarification, we are on the ninth cycle of ten to exercise and then once we have completed the exercises, we will start with those steps in uh, two decimal places, one zero. seven totally sensible wait until the copy is nice today's

spacewalk

is the fifth of the year and the third for hawkins and glover working together earlier this year the astronauts have continued station upgrades and have also prepared the station international space agency for new solar panels will launch later this year the agency is using this technology in both the updated power system for the station and the power and propulsion element for NASA's lunar entry outpost three two one end exercise okay three two one start exercise this will be the last go faster, it was choppy, NASA astronauts Victor Glover and Michael Hopkins continue today with the pre-breathing portion of their EVA preparations.

The four astronauts you see on screen right now are currently in the equipment lockout portion of the mission's airlock where the crew puts on their suits. perform this pre-breathing and will attach the safest or simplified aid for Eva's rescue, something like a jetpack backpack. Once all those steps are completed, the crew will move to the crew airlock portion, the outermost part of the mission airlock, where the final communications and suit are located. Systems checks will be carried out on the ground. The spacewalk itself will officially begin when the suits are switched to internal battery power. Well, the light exercise in the suit or the pre-breathing protocol in the hallway is now complete.

Finish the exercise and our light exercise in the suit is done. complete, you're going to start at two decimals one zero seven to change the comcap two decimals one zero seven initial step six good birds electrical connection only electrical connections nasa astronaut kate rubins and aerospace exploration seat exploration agency astronaut japanese soichinoguchi preparing to help nasa's mike hopkins by taking off and putting on a new comcap so he can communicate with his crew members in earth time es 11 21 copy 1121 hmm kate rubins and suici doing a quick change of that calm cap that you see what mike hawkins now puts on and it will be under his helmet and it allows him to listen and communicate with the teams on the ground as well as his comrade victor glover, what is this?

Go ahead, move the toilet for leverage and we have you, loud and clear, also welcome back and with that quick change comes great calm control. by mike hopkins ruben's indiguchi now replacing his helmet um very well done did you hear me as we prepare for today's spacewalk? the international space station is flying at about 17,500 miles per hour 260 statute miles over the philippine sea hmm as the astronauts continue to walk through their procedures preparing to exit the mission airlock this morning another look at what they will be working on today first both astronauts will go to the ammonia system early and ventilate two jumpers Glover will relocate one of them near the airlock the break time was 11 27 which means only six minutes of break and I started the 12 minutes for the first time drinking coffee.

It's also excellent work. Soichinoguchi reports only six minutes for the time it took to remove and replace Mike Hopkins' calm cap. The team was given a time period of 10 minutes to accomplish the task yes I can feel it good we are in a rapid satellite transfer of the satellites in the satellite data tracking and relay system these audio and video transfers are tracked and we hope to recover communications with the crew shortly within the mission. airlock and turn our gaze to what will happen outside the station today. Victor Glover will also remove and replace a wireless video system external transceiver assembly known as a weda.

There are three wetas that receive video from wireless video systems. This failed in December 2020. so he will be removing the current unit and replacing it with a new one. Michael Hawkins will complete a multitude of tasks in the Columbus module. One will be working with the jumpers and plugs on the Bartlemayo science platform during Eva 69. The American astronauts of Eva 69 reported the cat. The plug prongs could be more closed than expected, so it will fix some of the work there today, while on the Columbus module Hopkins will also reconfigure a radio ham and continue work on the Bartolomeo science platform by completely closing 11 cable clamps . that were originally used to hold the cables during the launch back to the airlock, both astronauts will work together to install a reinforcement for the airlock's thermal cover.

This will help prevent the thermal cover from opening. Continuing work from a previous spacewalk this year where a magnetic plate was installed adding a holding point, astronauts will then move on to routing some cables that will eventually create a Wi-Fi hotspot when connected. In total, we're looking at about six and a half hours of work today out of the hatch for Our two astronauts, Michael Hopkins and Victor Glover, in case you want to check it out, we copy you. Sorry, you can go ahead and turn it off, so just press the buttons and the green LED or, yeah, buddy, it's only seven o'clock now. minutes after the first one, I think we have to spend 12 minutes for the first moment, that's affirmative.

So you heard the astronaut talk about the heka on Mike Hawkins' helmet, which is the high definition extra vehicular activity camera array, so Hawkins will be wearing a high definition camera this tomorrow, hopefully, we'll get some great views of that camera and the ground team is looking for clear reviews coming from the bartolomeo scientific platform camera. I'll pass it on and tell Chris Justice and I went through the back room at his checkout, certified welcome. I feel shocking, uh, station one for the universities, on with one, yeah, we still have like three minutes left before it's complete, so we'll continue to the end and then we'll head back to the Emu Brewery with the Merrick switch, i guess.

That's affirmative, Fuji, we have to go to step 15 to proceed with Medox replacement after these good words. Another delivery video with the international space station crew discussing pre-breathing. This is to purge nitrogen from the astronauts' bodies and maintain a one hundred percent oxygen environment. Sensation one for Watty. I'm just looking at the old calm cap here. I don't see any evidence of moisture in the inlay and I'll give you a close up of some of the earcups and microphone boom. This is the failed cat we took. outside the hopper suit copy everything kate and could we give us the serial number also copy 12.97 and we see it in the video excellent thanks kate and can we see the microphone arms too?

Yes, perfect, a close look at the communications cover. That Mike Hawkins used before and had trouble communicating through copy. We see it thanks Kate and Kate. Did you see any damage to the pins on that pigtail? I know, but after we get these guys out the door, I'll grab the macro camera and get detailed documentation for you. I don't see any obvious damage. It is greatly appreciated. Thanks Kate and the Houston Station. Step 18 is complete. Copy the complete purge. Noguchi reports that the spacesuit's nitrogen purge is complete. Spacesuits are kept at a lower pressure. To help allow for greater flexibility, the gloves inside the spacesuit are extremely rigid and with a six and a half hour spacewalk and useof the hands all the time helps to have a little more flexibility, so inside the spacesuit the pressure is about 4.3 psi and to imitate that on Earth you would need to be at about 30,000 feet high, the pressure The average atmospheric pressure we're used to on Earth at sea level is about 14.7 psi, so it's similar to the pressure inside the International Space Station with an ambient mixture of oxygen and nitrogen again like we're used to here. on the ground plus school station space to ground also ahead on space to ground I also did an inspection of the unit and I have no questions and if you are in the Houston area and watching this morning's space walk in less than 10 minutes you can go out and see the international space station fly over, it's going to be about a six minute 0.1 step and I think that's the end of this procedure go back to step 15 um to this motor to five all sushi, those are good words and a good leak check and, just a reminder that the intention is to keep both crew members on the hot mic for now, but if you need private communication at any time, please let us know here's a station in one. that double check, we can stop the network sharing right now, medical replacement raw, that's a furniture sushi, that's it, yes, suicina gucci and kate hopkins are working to remove Victor Glover from his place in the part of crew lock or in the equipment registration part. of the mission lock and will eventually move it to the crew part of the lock, the outermost part of the lock, working via another satellite transfer, but in the meantime, here's another look at the team working today on the spacewalk in the flight control room here at mission control in houston, here is your team today victor glover and mike.hopkins our spacewalkers suicinaguchi and kate rubins working inside the blocking part of the team to prepare to the crew for the day their flight director leading all teams on the ground that are monitoring the station systems chris edelen and andy mogensen on ground iv who will relay tasks to the astronauts once they begin the spacewalk on top of the screen is capcom kathy perno she is communicating with the astronauts while they are on the station as well as the astronauts who remain on the station during today's spacewalk oh and kate we copied number 10 and we saw 9 before because you just have to look at crew members replacing oxygen in suits preparing our spacewalkers today for a planned six and a half hour excursion copy 1151 the international space station now flying over houston home of mission control houston at the johnson space center nasa, um, if you want to know when the international space station is flying over your area, you can go out and see for yourself, you can go to spot the station.nasa.gov, enter your location and sign up. alerts and eric houston in one for kate or suici can you confirm the serial numbers of the medox number of what you entered in eichenhofer which was 10 31 for ike ev1 and 1032 for hopper ev2?

We copied those are good numbers and we have taken you out of the box um for now good coffee while the astronauts continue preparations to exit the hatch for today's spacewalk we are answering your questions if you are on Twitter use the hashtag ask nasa and tell us what you want to answer we will do our best To achieve this, this question: Will these activities at Mike Hawkins Emu affect the start time? make sure Hopkins had proper communication with his crew member Victor Glover as well as the ground and today we saw Victor Glover have to replace his communications cover due to audio issues, which the astronauts were originally scheduled to leave the hatch at 7:30. am ET but we'll see that happen a little late this morning copy eleven five four one airlock in one just for your knowledge the new thing not before you go to d press is 1241-1241 capcom kathy Bolt streaming to crew that depressurization can begin as soon as 45 minutes, that's 6 41 central time 12 41 greenwich mean time gmt that's the time astronauts use aboard the international space station, then I'll go back to step 16 of the ema preview, we copied and agreed on a couple More questions to NASA as our astronauts prepare for their spacewalk today, you can see Victor Glover from NASA, he is our ev1 or extra vehicular crew member, one who are preparing to put on the safest or most simplified aid for Eva's rescue, the safest thing is essentially. as a jetpack only to be used if a crew member became separated from the international space station, however, that is a very unlikely event as they remain tethered at all times to those who ask questions to NASA, this one from Melissa, you can see that red tube at the bottom of the screen, she wants to know what exactly that red tube is, since the red tube provides air circulation to the locking part of the mission airlock equipment where they are seen currently our crew members and another question, this one from Joseph, asks how the microphones work.

They are attached to the wall, is it a velcro or a magnet? You've probably seen Kate Rubins and Suicina Gucci removing microphones from the wall to talk to teams on the floor and inside the suits this morning, they're attached with Velcro and a hook. and a piece of fabric with a closed loop also notice that sometimes in astronauts' pants and other clothing that way they can hold things properly and prevent them from floating, as you can see the tablet currently on kate rubens kate rubens and suicina gucci now moving victorglover towards the airlock part of the mission, the outermost part, you see those red stripes on the legs of his spacesuit that will help you identify him once he is out of the hatch, today is ev1 or extra vehicular crew member one, meanwhile, Mike Hawkins, who is still attached to the interior. the airlock crew locking portion of the mission has an unmarked suit and he will be NASA ev2 astronaut Victor Glover, now in the airlock crew locking portion of the mission and Preparations are being made for Mike Hopkins to join him there too in the meantime, just a look.

Getting back to what we expect to see crew members working on today during the spacewalk, they will be venting the first ammonia system jumper cables and one will be relocated near the mission's airlock. My Hopkins will also connect the cables for the Columbus Bartolomeo payload. While he holds 11 clamps to secure some cables there, he will also work on ham radio in the nearby area. Additionally, the astronauts will replace a wireless antenna assembly on the drive module and then work together to install reinforcement on the airlock thermal cover. will prevent the thermal cover from opening the last task of the day is currently scheduled to route some cables that will provide ethernet ethernet capabilities for two of the high definition cameras in the station port okay rubens and suici attaching the simplified help safer for eva rescue to mike hopkins and we are answering some more questions from nasa, this one from jeremy asks: can astronauts control the temperature in their spacesuit during the spacewalk?

The answer is yes, whether astronauts are in the sun outside the station or in the dark, they can experience up to 250 degrees Fahrenheit or negative 250 degrees. However, their spacesuits keep them cool by being white, a reflective color, in addition to wearing a thermal and cooling garment underneath that allows them to stay cool during the spacewalk. Next question is from five year old Ruben, thanks for watching and we love your question: how did the astronauts have a drink during the spacewalk? Of course, you can expect astronauts to be thirsty after six and a half hours or more of tedious work while outside the space station.

Astronauts on the space station have a drink pouch inside their suits and near their mouth is a bite valve. . Every time the crew members bite down on the valve they can drink water and when they let go the valve closes and a question from Denny about How much safer is the simplified Eva rescue aid, I mentioned it's like a jet pack what do you use. He asked what fuel she uses and it's a backpack powered by compressed nitrogen, as we said this is primarily intended in case a spacewalker breaks loose from the station. and it was necessary to maneuver backwards, however, astronauts are always tethered to the space station, so we never expected that in this situation both Victor Glover and Mike Hawkins would now be inside the crew blocking portion of the airlock. mission air after everything is situated within the crew blocking portion of the mission. airlock, the hatch between the crew airlock and the equipment airlock will close, the astronauts will perform some final communications and ground checks of the suits' systems, depressurization will begin, and the spacewalk itself will officially begin a Once the suits are switched to internal battery power, both astronauts will now. on the crew airlock portion of the mission airlock and we have a few more questions to ask NASA, this one from Brianna, thanks for watching and wants to know how long the astronauts can be away from the space station that we plan for approximately six and a half hours of work for our crew members on today's spacewalk, however, that can be modified to be longer or shorter depending on the consumables they are using, including the oxygen in their spacesuits .

Nathan wants to know the website that provides notifications when the space station is flying over your local area, you can visit station.nasa.gov, type in your location and sign up to receive email or text message alerts when you will be able to see the international space station , since you can see those spacesuits are pretty big and the next question wants to know what the approximate mass of that equipment is on Earth, the spacesuits weigh about 315 pounds, but of course that number comes down to almost nothing when, in microgravity, NASA astronaut Kate Rubin now closes the hatch between the crew and the equipment log.

Parts of the mission airlock, she and Suicina Gucci will remain on the equipment side of the airlock where the astronauts put on their suits this morning, meanwhile, Hawkins and Glover are now inside the crew log portion fully prepared and ready for today's spacewalk. You can do step 74. copy, we will put that to work using station 2, I think you also do 75 76, we are waiting for 77. we copy, we have 75 in work and we are going to wait a few more minutes for 76. There are still 12 minutes left By the time of the depression, things are moving smoothly for the astronauts now as they prepare to leave the international space station; however, we still have less than 12 minutes until depressurization of the crew airlock portion of the mission airlock begins to lower it. starting pressure of about 14.7 psi and that's what we're used to here on Earth, that's typically what the space station is happy to help with.

I will reduce that pressure inside the crew airlock portion near a vacuum like the astronauts will experience. in space we're fine, ok, let's settle back in here, stop moving and airlock Houston in one. The ev crew now has the hot mic in space to ground one, so we see that you are going for step seventy seven, they will take you out and spray you. This year for me Kevin, maybe you guys will have fun and be safe waiting for a good day. We are into rapid satellite delivery of satellite tracking and data relay systems. It was Capcom Kathy Bolt speaking to the crew she will deliver.

About his duties of talking to the spacewalkers with Andy Mogensen, an astronaut from the European space agency that you see in the center of your screen, he will relay all the tasks to the crew while they are outside the hatch, while Kathy Bolt will remain in the console and I'll be speaking with the crew members inside the international space station hmm while we wait for the depressurization of the airlock crew airlock portion of the mission to begin. We are still answering your questions to NASA. Dan wants to know where the crew members are from and if there are language barriers on the space station it really is an international space station and on his screen here he sees Jaxa or Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Soichi Naguchi four of the Crew members are from NASA and are Americans and two are fromthe crew members are from russia the space agency venture cosmos crew members learn to speak english and russian that way everyone can communicate with each other aboard the international space station then cat wants to know well thanks for the live stream we will be happy to provide once michael and victor are Outside the space station, is there any picture and identification of them?

Yes, you will be able to distinguish them once outside the space station. If you're looking for NASA astronaut Victor Glover, you can look for red stripes around the legs of his spacesuit. Identifies him as ev1 or extravehicular crew member one, meanwhile if you see an astronaut with no stripes or an unmarked suit, I have to say it's NASA's Mike Hawkins ev2 teams on the ground doing their depressurization move today and everything looks good next time. The question is from six-year-old Nathan. Hello, Nathan. Thanks for your question. You would like to know how fast the space station is traveling and how many minutes it takes to orbit the Earth.

The space station travels at about 17,500 miles per hour and sees 16. sunrises and sunsets a day, so it takes the space station about 90 minutes to circle the Earth and every 45 minutes they see a sunrise or sunset. Our next question to NASA is what is the standard time zone in space. Well we are in Houston and on Central Time and those at Roscosmos are about 12 hours ahead of us so the time zone the space station uses is a GMT or Greenwich Mean Time which is about halfway between the centers command and control, just a couple of minutes until I'll be looking for that depression call and the next question from Arya who wants to know how old the space station is.

The first element of the international space station was zarya, a Russian element. Zarya was launched on November 20, 1998 and last November we celebrated. 20 years of continuous human presence on the international space station, which means that for 20 years since last November there has been a human in space at all times another question this from ashwin who wants to know if the replacement elements are attached to the suit during the spacewalk so they don't fly free that's right, you'll probably hear a lot today about tethers once the astronauts are off the station, of course the crew members themselves remain tethered to the station at all times, but they also keep their workstations and any tools or replacement items they need strapped to themselves an airlock Houston in one we're ready to press you can pick up in step 80 crew lock press repress cue card some copies ah sorry , copy of the station, are you ready for the v1 card that already sounded? a little broken, yes, I'm serious, ready, okay, db2 uia, superstructure switch, power on, wait 10 seconds for full start, crashed, pumped power, okay, eh eb2, pump manual depressed, iso open, wait for our city to be open, equals bomb man, iso two, depressurization has started in the airlock crew part of the mission airlock, this is a very slow process that reduces the pressure in the crew part of the airlock as close to zero as possible, equating it to almost a vacuum, which is what the astronauts will experience once they are outside. of the hatch hmm um hmm 2.0 crew lock pressure now under 10 psi depressurization will continue until a pause at 5 psi hmm and ev2 the next step will be when the crew hits a laptop and at 5.0 psi close the manual isotherm um 3.00 um um mmm umla depressurization continues in the crew airlock portion of the mission airlock and in your frame right now you see Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut suicina gucci peeking at the crew members while monitoring depressurization.

We have another question from NASA, this one from pippa hello peppa she wants to know the temperature in the space station inside the station the temperature is kept at approximately 72 degrees Fahrenheit um foreigner um take your feet off me mater hopper yeah sorry okay uh dcm switch shows leak status check question mark screen press and hold yes for two seconds to continue show instructions if you want to prepare for today's spacewalks, continue the airlock portion of the airlock mission of the mission is currently being depressurized, reducing it to a near vacuum, just like space, once they eat grass or exit the hatch today, the crew members have a variety of tasks ahead of them.

Both will work on the initial ammonia system to vent some bridges too specifically and one will be moved near the airlock, outside the airlock an external transceiver assembly of the wireless video system will be removed and replaced by Victor Glover, meanwhile, Mike Hawkins will be working on several tasks on the Columbus module, including the Bartolomeo platform, where he will be working to connect cables from a previous spacewalk this year and the emergency device is now open eb1 eb2 50 gauge monitor less than 5.5 if you want and eb2 your next The action is when the cooling airlock is at 2.0 psi, it will close the manual iso valve and the pump power in view of this portable chamber coming from soichi naguchi inside the airlock part Mission airlock team monitoring the depressurization of the crew airlock where Michael Hopkins and Victor Glover are now preparing for today's spacewalk.

Depressurization continues without problems. We are in a rapid satellite handover as depressurization continues. Hey? Yeah, so I know the first top man is closed, happy and you can send pump power to all ss 31. Power is off, whatever. I see it's off, it's been a pleasure serving you and now the space unless Denmark takes over Andy, thanks Luigi, thanks for watching okay good afternoon ike and hopper I'm ready for the initial setup of Tether if you're well, Andy, it's great to see. Guys ok so ev1 starting at the airlock ring extender it has a small hook attached to the waist that is closed locked black on black good full test then my waist strap is attached to that cartridge to the big hook, good pull test, both are locked black. black, I wasted a small hook on my right earring, ash lock, door closed, black on flat, on my safety strap, anchor, load, relief strap, hook, red up is locked, padlock on black to the Right, near the extender on the reel, the red spool is unlocked, that reel has a green hook locked.

The yellow hook on that reel is locked to my green reel. Is closed. The fighters are blocked in black on black. The anchor is blocked in black on black for poppers. The red reel and that reel are unlocked. Copy everything for you like this. sounds good, okay, I'm going to start 3v2 with my correct theoretical extender for my scrap strap. It's a small hook that's so close to the lock, lock on the block, good all around test and the hook is on my T bar also on the right P ring extender is my small red hook so lock the lock on black , good complete test and the yellow hook on my red reel that is unlocked is attached to the green spool with closed bell, black on black center housing with pull cut.

The green rail is on. hook for run locks the little green hook is attached to my red spool and it is unlocked and my anchor hook is to my t bar also attached to my red spool is the ev1 already reported is that its anchor hook fails to close the Shutter lock block on block with a good excellent pull test, that's a good setup for both Mike Hawkins and Victor Glove reporting their strap setups ahead of today's spacewalk. This view can be seen through the hatch window separating the locking parts of the crew and equipment just a head. above, you can expect an alert turn when the crew lock dpdt is approximately zero in the dcm and we have approximately 10 minutes until we are in a vacuum.

One two um. Depressurization of the crew lock continues slowly bringing it into vacuum before the astronauts open the hatch and exit or exit into space the space walk will officially begin when Mike Hopkins and Victor Glover our space walking astronauts today change their suits to power internal battery while we wait for depressurization to complete another look at what we can expect to see the astronauts working on today that we mentioned In that first ammonia system, they will vent two of the bridges there and one will be relocated to the outside of the airlock . Victor Glover will remove and replace an external transceiver assembly from the wireless video system, meanwhile, Mike Hawkins will work on various tasks on the Columbus module. including work on some jumpers and sockets for the bartolomeo platform outside of Columbus, plus you will reconfigure a ham radio and close 11 cable clamps used in the bartolomeo 0.6 copy, so that when you get to less than 0.5, you can open and save the eevee hatch and if you look at that before you do it, which will probably be the case, let me know and I'll get started.

Coffee will be enough. Andy Mogensen. Today's Terrain IV informs the crew that they are almost ready to open the hatch, but let's get back to the tasks we can. We hope to see that we will also see the crew members install reinforcement on the thermal airlock cover, this will help prevent the cover from opening and the last scheduled task is to route the cables to ports eight and nine of the camera, these will create a Wi-Fi connection. access point once connected, okay, we see a delta p of less than 0.5 psi, you're going to open and save the copy of the eb hatch and work and I see zero decimal five on the gauge just FYI.

Wow, okay, offer, yes, I wrinkled. in your own way a little okay it's unlocked that won't be seen next week on ike if that little four arm trick worked yeah what do you know okay like Andy the hatch is open copy and change in the airlock, you're going to close the emergency mph. anything for you randy emperor is closed copy now ike and hopper on your dcm can you change the power to bate please stagger your switches and wait for a warning tone and then check that your screen switch is functional a power so we are on another satellite handover of tracking data and satellite relay systems, but just before you saw NASA astronauts Mike Hopkins and Victor Glover open the hatch thermal cover, that's exactly the thermal cover which they will be working on later today, turn off the power to ev1 and 2 to power down and check. that all four power LEDs are also off ev1 off ev2 LEDs are off copy now you can disconnect the scu from your dcm install the dcm cover and store the scu in the tv2 bag and since the spacesuits have switched to internal battery, turn on the spacewalk has officially begun at 7 14 a.m. m central time copy hopper you can now check that the deep pressure pump man iso valve is closed ok both in your dcm please turn the temperature control valve to maximum hot heat now switch water on db1 water on q2 on check your dcm is blank and byte is off d1 blank just off bd2 now you can set your temperature control valve however you want give me one two and uh check the pressure gauge p of your suit and tell us, please, tv one, the pressure gauge of the suit. es 4.2 82 4.2 Okay, you're going out tonight, but there's only about five minutes left until you can configure your headsets however you want.

Well, you can go ahead and open the thermal hatch cover and climb out on the way out. copy on the way out check that the pip pin is in place and give us a reading of the hatch which I will measure and there are several fifth pins on e1 in particular and the hashtag is zero decimal two okay hopper I'm leaving copy zero decimal two come towards you a little bit first do that can you go towards the user interface here you go? We're just looking for the forward hinge, the aft pin, so if you say both interiors are in place, that's good, okay, in place, okay, can you go to the hatch?

Yes, that's okay, and I'll be out of your way soon, that's okay, thank you, that's okay, gt1 the outside, the upper arm and the inside porch, the hopper for you, you can transfer the crew zipper bag number three to ike, okay, I see it turning red, sure enough those three, thanks for having me, actually let me introduce you to the other side a little better, gentlemen, I have a red, okay, let me take the one I have. I have controls, you can solve the puzzle right here, thank you and also. I just wanted the rings in the airlock to be here perfect and you'reready for it to come out.

The safety straps are hanging on the hatch and the weather is fantastic. view of my Hopkins exiting the mission airlock coming from inside the blocking part of the equipment and the camera that we saw Soichinoguchi installing earlier already outside the hatch, he is joining Victor Glover from NASA, today you will be able to tell them apart for the stripes on their spacesuits Hopkins is wearing a non-marking suit, while Victor Glover will have red rings around the legs of his spacesuit, uh, with the green LED on, let's see one, two, three, actually, the tab of your VR dongle looks a little different than the other two coming this way, okay?

Yes, it's a bit of a game, but it's like you have three tabs up there. Give me a wink in each direction. I'll check your safer handles. Alright. You're right. Safer downward handles. Manual control module. Closed door to the left. It seems like the safest handle. you might be able to touch it about half a centimeter down, of course it's down and the safety straps unlock and they unlock, your hooks are locked. The ring extender has two small hooks that are locked. Now you have to go local down here. You look good, okay? I don't see your wps light or your green light.

Hey, on hold, but now I have to be okay. Let me look at the eyelashes. I see one, two and there is the third. Maybe your safest left handle is up right now. Thank you and now let's close your the left safest handle is the right safest handle is down and the door is closed and from the security filter point of view, you see two on the right D-ring, they are locked, unlocked, unlocked and I have its anchor hook. I'm showing it to you in a good setup, I'm going to lock that green hook underneath as well, it sounds like uh good buddy checks for both of you uh, we'll do a baseline hab check and thermal half cover closed please, okay, the cover thermal is almost closed and We have the waste center there, so yes, we copy it, so when you are ready, you will be able to retrieve the vent tool extender bag from the top of the airlock, quick delivery via satellite, but just before that you saw the sun. board the international space station, as we mentioned, the sun rises every 45 minutes or sets every 45 minutes, the space station travels around the earth at 17,500 miles per hour and is currently 260 statute miles over the pacific ocean with 11, that's the apfr without an income aid, okay, the tasks have already begun with Mike Hopkins preparing to grab the event's tool extender bag.

Remember that crew members will need this to vent ammonia. The first ammonia system jumpers are your first task of the day. My brt reps are copy the hopper. put on your brt then head to p10 hey just confirm im taking the right whip extender not just the apfr you can leave the with extender ok thanks for clarifying im just here for the coffee that bag look at the hopper, okay, let's do my vrt this. Viewed from Victor Glover's helmet camera we'll be seeing views of astronauts all day today and you'll be able to tell who's whose by that number in the bottom right corner.

Victor Glover's camera is marked with the number 20 and Hawkins has the number 22. Okay, come see the incredible. I have the apfr only on the vrt and will be standing. We are into rapid delivery of tracking data and satellite relay systems. Just before we hear Victor Glove arguing. with the ground gear that the apfr was using, which is the portable articulated foot restraint system that he will be carrying with him today that gives the astronauts a place to secure their balance and get a little leverage while working on the delivery of the space station, so If you communicated anything else, I missed it, okay hopper, you are looking for bait 12, where you will jump, release the anchor hooks on the railing 3651-3652 and just a quick reminder about a Take caution to avoid inadvertent contact with the deployed fang cable. along the zenith and nader cedar rails, okay, go under the void, okay, pass the fort, watch the car continue outward making big signs and jump, you're dropping the anchor hook on the railing 3651, that's the length below you, okay, choose anchor hook three six. five a yellow reel, so I'll relock the black one with the copy of good pulses and the reel unlocked and the reel is unlocked.

Now you can attach the walk anchor hook to the railing 3652 the small one, this view from the high definition camera on Mike Hopkins in Mike Hopkins' Space Suit, this high definition view will provide even better views during the work of Columbus which will be carried out today specifically on the Bartolomeo scientific platform. Alright, the anchor hook of it is attached to three six five two quarter closed closing bells in black. good extraction test, try to free your waste center, okay, my waist pen has returned to my workstation and the airlock waiting center is coming in, the thermal cover is open, good, hopper, you can out to the p6 jobsite copy andy the thermal cover is closed great thank you so you can also head over to the p6 jobsite and while you're both translating I'm going to read you a couple of warnings um just a reminder that the bgas p4 are spinning, avoid contact with any of the rotating structure, also avoid contact with the radiator and finally, just a reminder about the dangers of sharp edges in the workplace p6, prong pins in the ttcr and stcr do not meet eva recoil loading so there would be a sharp edge present broken and also there is the external mt rail attachment lug which has a sharp edge, probably in phase one on the way and also just a reminder to check that your gauntlets are in place before crossing the sergeant and let me know if you need guidance getting to the work site, if not, jump.

You are looking for p5 5223 handrail for your green hook. Okay, offer. I'm going to go under. Now, this view from Mike Hopkins' HD camera, you can see some of those batteries that were removed and replaced earlier this year, as well as during the year. last years improving the power supply of the space station right now I'm moving on to our secretary presenters roger good job good job throughout the day you will hear calls to the crew members you can hear ike and hopper those are the call signs given to ike Victor Glover and hopper Mike Hopkins smart now heading to the first job site to vent those first ammonia system jumpers alongside Mike Hopkins all the way across the starch almost hopper okay, the greenhouse is down, green poppy, hook down, you can go ahead and go to the workshop. and keep the bag that you have with you, and like you're looking for the 5231 rail for your green hook, the f5105 comes out and the hopper, you're still in the bag, you only see it from those uh jumpers between the rails five. three three nine and five three four two two five three three nine and five three four two can you give me that green hook for my hand? real again five two three one is right in front of where the hopper landed okay, I'm visual andy, do you have any The problem is that I drop it right here on five two zero three, which is right next to it, so I don't have to cross the top of this stick together, yeah, okay, okay, fox 203, it's green, the hook is in place, copy.

You can translate to 27 on page 6, where you will still be in April. Both, my real grandmother, okay, Andy, I'm going to find my rich man. I'll take it to the end like it's coffee, okay, jump. that p6 the inside corner of the rda rises up okay andy give me that number again 27 so it's on the leading edge it's almost as far away as possible there should be an apfr on the adjacent uh with 31 , she will put this one on 27 which is right next to that is a great detail right next to me I feel it next to the other well I also see the essential bag well motor with 27 now and like when you put away the caulking apfr it's not that important, but if you want you can put in 12.

Okay, and the rich man's fair advantage is down and back to the stock market copy. The first thing you'll do is retrieve the event tool adapter and remove a cap from that anti. -By dialing 12, you point the starter plate toward the perfect IEA, giving you some hopper space to pass it later. The other configurations we have time, I think the other configurations are Indigo Indigo Fox 12. Well, it works and agrees. a good full test, good torque test and it's black on black indigo indigo didn't work well read again and just check the tone knob too please the astronauts are now at their first workstation of the day where they will.

I will be working on the initial ammonia system by venting two bridges, one of which Glover will later relocate to the outside of the airlock. Remove the cap, go ahead and inspect the qd for us. There are many moving parts to this first task and you simply. I heard about the qd, that's the vent tool that disengages quickly from the locked position, it's a little sticky when you push it, it wasn't much of a spell, maybe 15 pounds of force and then turning it the first 15 20 degrees was same feeling because i had half the game it moved freely i took it to india india and it locked freely and then it's the same the last 20 degrees a little ratchet but it comes out and i can push it in and it comes back out we copied all of that We appreciate the words ok essential adapter i took the pliers off do an inspection no plugs for you feel good copy can you grab the vent or have the you can remove the plug from the vent tool qd then give us an inspection. of that too please, and once Hopkins has removed the plug from the event tool quick disconnect, he will attach that quick disconnect to the fingers of the event tool adapter, it feels copy, so now we'll attach the vent tool adapter to qd vent tool and I'll read the steps on block c for you okay so check that the female qd is ready to mate by making sure the detent button is up and the front white band is not visible, not visible, go ahead and mate the qd and verify that the front white band is visible in the next hopper, perform a back test and verify that the front white band is still visible and finally perform a back test traction and a visual space test.

Things look good and like once she's put it away. the crew zipper bag then you can read on the stray dog ​​end effector um and attach the L bracket with the mouthpiece to the final deserter ecom okay I won't do it what were the settings for the Indian chief April 12 is that what i had? He said that's perfect okay now I'm going to fill the bag and where exactly am I going to put those five three three three that are right behind you guys get out of the way okay I have the next one we're going to open the qd valve on the tool of vent and when you're ready for that, you can press the detail, okay, go ahead and press the hold button and move the bale to the forward position.

Okay, forward position, hold button is up, offline band is visible excellent, that means the qd is open, you can do it now. recover recover the vent tool and the vent tool adapter combo and I have an audible for you that's it I'm done what's your audible will? You can steal the bag since it's behind you and I can start on the vent tool bag, things like that on hold. You um this is ready for my brt so it's got a big little integral so you can take your rip okay andy I'm in the fence tool bag okay so you can read on the chucho end effector from the vent tool. bag and then you can attach the L-bracket with the mouthpiece to the Mutt Ecom accessory.

The clock is an alpha yaw setup and just double check that the mouthpiece french hook is attached to the L bracket. I'm ready for the mud. effect, that's the mouthpiece, the french hook is attached and you're putting that L bracket on the uh ecom so that the L bracket is parallel to the handrail that would be on the stray dog ​​jaws and the hopper once you have a red light on the vent tool and vent tool adapter combo then you can move it to m10 on the t6 long spacer which is the inner side of the connections after that i'm there ok you can remove the cable tie and the loot and then the m10 spid and just a reminder of caution. here that handrail on the eas bridge box can't handle brt loads okay andy the mud and the bracket are together it's uh the alpha alpha bracket sorry no it needs to be parallel to the handrail fix that now yeah , it seems that you arereleased, then check that the release ring is retracted and the front white band is not visible.

You can inspect the qd, male and female, for damage from debris or ammonia crystals. He won, both sides, male and female, look good, you know? uh male side the uh field looks uh uniform and I don't see any ammonia crystals on either one I don't see any fog good seals middle fingers there are no copy crystals we appreciate the inspection now you will exchange what you have so hopper you will you will be given the jumper to ike and ike will be given the vent tool adapter and the vent tool to the hopper stop it right there at the end i got the uh i'm pretty much in hand hopper roger who let me up to vrt here me too.

I'm going to go up and get it, okay, copy, it's right here in the corner of ia, right here, and once you have the jumper, you're going to install the plug into the qd extender and you're going to close the loot and the loot will be inside. the crew zipper bag you could pass it a little closer. Sorry, the plug you're stuck on is fine, I got it, thanks. I will connect it from the crew zipper bag and install it on the extender. It works, yes, so there is a plug on. the cord and one is fine, like one plug is on the cord, the other plug is in the crew zipper bag, do you mind which one I used right?

You will have to install a plug on both ends, I see what you mean, okay, yes, on the extender. In the end, there will be a stopper on a bead at the single qd end. You will need to use a bag stopper with visible crew closure. Yes, you can remove the red in the hopper. You can go ahead and translate to free floating qd. On the second bridge, I got it right, you can remove the boot and plug from the Cutie Extender and then take a look for debris and damage. Okay, the plug is removed and once you have installed the plugs on both ends of the bridge.

You can then wrap the jumper around the copper copy and you have good instructions on the extender side. Fingers hit the stamp copy hopper, so now we'll attach the vent tool adapter to that qd extender. I'll just dock it and not open it. right now so when you're ready I'll give you the steps to dock it thank you ready ok so check that it's ready to dock so you can check that the hold button is up and that the front white band is not visible a fast satellite Delivery of satellite tracking and data retransmission systems. We just watched crew members, Mike Hawkins and Victor Glover, have vented the first bridge in the ammonia system early and are now working to vent the second, we are arriving in an hour and 20 minutes into the spacewalk. today and due to suspected ammonia contamination due to the quick disconnect that the astronauts were working with before, they will inspect each other and perform some tests, while in the airlock at the conclusion of today's spacewalk there are many cable ties this uh qd is it there? there was actually a wi-fi connecting the tube that was near the extender originally well we copied the hopper and I'm ready to do hold up buttons the front bands copy and skip that cable tie you just reported is that uh on the jumper that ike has or on the jumper that is still installed or you are working in double glove i mode and there are like five of them, well, copy at least you won't run, uh, it's over, i um hopper, you can meet the qd and check that the front white band is visible 8x4 right there, invisible, perform the recoil test and verify that the front white band is still visible, still visible, okay, perform the pull test and the gap test visual, okay, you can go, you can translate to m9 on the p6 long spacer and remove the loot and spid from that qd, you can store the spid temporarily in your mini workstation or put it in the crew zipper bag if you want Let this be out of time as Mike Hopkins continues to prepare the second jumper to air him out early.

The Victor Glover ammonia system is winding the first bridge to be vented. He will relocate it near the airlock and store it outside the space station. Wow, bye, how's everything going slowly but steadily? I think I got the best of both deals here. Can you talk about it over dinner? Okay, a spoon was removed, it was removed once, um, at this point we have 17 minutes left in the night, so we would like to start working on the ventilation operations, so you can finish rolling the sweater after we have ventilated, so go ahead and get into position on the front edge like before and then on the big picture hopper you're going to close the qd on m9 and then we're going to open up the qd extender that's attached to the vent tool adapter roger okay hopper when it is ready, then we will close qd in m9 ready, move the handle forward to the fully open position. check the visible stern white band. visible. verify that the detent button is fully installed. that is up and can be pressed. can often be pressed. evaluate and counteract lateral loads and then, while depressing the detent button, move the lever all the way forward to the open position with significant force, then depress the detent button and move the lever after closing a valve that you can cover with best effort possible and for example are you free of the nozzle and these nozzles on the front edge of the iea copy and the hopper when you are ready then we will open the qd extender that is connected to the vent to adapt the other end of that bridge right here, okay, I have to get into position, hey, I'm in copy position. so now you can press the hold button and move the handle to the forward position and this will start venting the halfway position.

The band is visible. The d10 button is up, we're venting the vent copy and we have another five minute timer in this event, one hour and 28 minutes later. On today's spacewalk, crew members are now venting the second bridge in the early ammonia system that will be vented today. The first one we looked at in that five minute time frame and we're looking for the same thing on this one as well to release any possible ammonia crystals. the tools before storing them in the United States and andy while we wait, I will check that I have a lot of black spots on my fingertips due to operations on my right index finger, a little bit of RTD damage healing, you can probably see it in the heka yeah we copy it and see the hopper otherwise they look good the dry hat copies the hopper and we'll call that good gloves you want to have a dry half I'll give you a little review in a minute while the ventilation continues astronauts They provide the land. with a glove and half check hab means helmet absorption pad to make sure no loose liquid gets in your spacesuit and of course astronauts use their hands almost exclusively during a spacewalk so they perform frequent checks of the gloves to make sure the gloves are in good condition, if so you could use your helmet lights to look over the hopper suit and see if you see any signs of ammonia on it, maybe what I can see is clean, the top of your helmet looks clean, normal, okay, what I can see is a deal.

It looks like a normal copy, so what you look normal is fine, we copy thanks. The copper suit looks normal and while we wait, hopper if you want to take a quick look at ike we would also appreciate you waiting. I felt very comfortable. Andy, the crew members. performing a visual check of everyone's suits to ensure that no ammonia is present. What would be good if I didn't have this big uh yeah, that's good for you. I can see the top of your helmet. I can see your light cliffs, your shoulders, your arms and I don't see anything stuck, useful copy, we appreciate it, it looks clean, so once the vent timer has expired, you'll be working on wrapping the jersey around that bag mental extensor and then Hopper will work on closing the cute sweater. extender one two and everyone has good gloves, they look like when I came out here, copying okay, our five minute event timer has expired.

If I could take a look at the Vet Tool Extender and see if anything comes up, we would. I appreciate it, I have my helmet light shining in that direction and I don't see anything, even though it's dark, but I don't see anything like that, I'm not thinking, yeah, we're coughing, we're just trying to shuffle. a little bit to give it a minute or so, okay, we'll say it's good for ventilating the hopper. Now you can work on closing a qd extender and I'll read you the steps when you're ready. Very good, advance the bail to the maximum. open position wait check after the white band is visible check that the detent button is fully installed, is up and can be pressed fully installed up and pressed evaluate and counteract lateral loads and then while depressing the detent button, Move the handle forward to the open position with significant force, fully depress the lock button and move the bail after the white forward band is visible.

The hold button is facing up. The copy jumper is closed so you can disconnect the vent tool adapter from the qd extender. I'll read you the steps when you're ready. Well, wait a second. I make this vent tool adapter as an eventual free floating extender so the recipe is still needed. I just wanted him to be able to come up to you. okay, thanks, surprised, okay, and they're all hooked together too, so yeah, okay, secure it, I'll keep an eye on the hopper. Did you say you're ready? I'm ready, copy, pull back the release string and deactivate the qd, wait.

The checked release ring is retracted and the front white band is not visible. The attractive front white band is not visible and then there is no fog when you take this as if there are some flakes of ammonia on the inside of that sleeve again. This adapter there, uh, it looks like it looks like something. white flakes on the sleeve inside okay, what do you need me to do with that? I have my hands full with this experience, no, I don't need to do anything, just give me a hook when, I think that's the part where I shake it and I'm trying to dislodge them, of course, yes, we have the extensor, good fingers, I don't feel glass copy that and those crystals Hopper reported should be ice so you shouldn't worry just make sure to get them off your back you're working on the copy hopper from the package below for you we'll attach the qd extender to m3 , okay, I'm ready, m3, no foss, it feels good.

I just gave you the puppy extender so you can just check the retainer. The button is facing up and forward, the white band is not visible. Button 10 is up, forward, right there, it's not physical. Here we are going to do the qd and it worked. Both bridges for the initial ammonia system have been vented. We are now approaching an hour and 40 minutes. Today's spacewalk and Victor Glover is working on reeling in the first jumper that was ventilated and will be relocated outside the mission's airlock. The second jumper will remain in place in the initial ammonia system.

Alright, perform the recoil test and check the front white stripe. still visible forward right hand still visible perform the pull test and the visual space test full copy now you can check that the boot is installed on that extender, understood, just a heads up, we are one minute away from dawn, thank you while the crew members finish finishing their tasks in the ammonia system early we have a question from jeffrey who wants to know if the astronauts need to make preparations for sunrises and sunsets you just heard that we were less than a minute away from waiting for sunrise on the station The astronauts do have opportunities with that announcement to make some preparations, they can lower their visors if they want some shade, they can also turn on those headlights as you see here if they are entering a night pass, so when you are in position at m9 let me know and I will tell you I'll take the steps to deactivate the qd bye um uh hey Andy when can I take my red off the bridge?

How many wire wheels do I need to activate? Yes we would appreciate it if you could install the adjustable between the jumper and the bag handrail before you take off the rip and andy I'm in position so we're going to work on detaching the qd from m9 so the first thing you can do is pull back the release ring and detach the qde, check that the release ring is retracted and the front white band is not visible is not visible and we will do an inspection, it feels good, sleeve and standby and the qd itself five , this feels good, finger copy, so okay, hopper, we will also please do an inspection of m10, which is where you will attach this qd2 here, okay, we are ready to attach the qd to m10, like this that when you are ready and verify that the hold button is facingyou squeeze from that side, put the two sides together, that makes sense, uh, okay, so I'm working on this one right here, yeah, thinking where you are, if you pull and squeeze like that, it will pull. the two ascend together, yeah perfect, looks like he's doing whatever, two hours and 20 minutes into today's spacewalk, this view from Victor Glover's helmet cam, he's ev1 today or extra crew member vehicle one, the astronauts are still concluding their first task by ventilating two jumpers. on the initial ammonia system coming up next, Victor Glover will return to the airlock to save one of those jumpers outside.

He will then work to remove and replace an external transceiver assembly from the wireless video system. Excellent good news. We'll take a glove and I have to verify that it won't have a dry hat change to the copyright copy of the gloves, so I go ahead and check your gauntlets and then you can grab the vent tool extender bag and go back to the airlock, just remember to pick up your 52 green hook. 5204 with that, my officer instead, get out of your way like you're in no hurry, the hopper once you have room, then you can grab the crew zipper bag and then you will head outboard towards the apfrs.

Okay, Andy, I have the bag with the jumpers, that's clear, I'm going to give you a green hook, you can go back to the airlock, okay, see you, okay, see you, Victor Glover, now we're going back to the airlock. The first task has been completed and we have. In it, they ask NASA a few more questions and mention some major improvements being made to the space station, but how will that happen without the space shuttle? The shuttle was indeed a very important part of the construction and improvement of the space station and we are now fortunate to work with commercial and res cosmos suppliers who can use their vehicles to help make upgrades to the space station over the past few years.

We have upgraded the international space station batteries that were delivered by the japanese aerospace exploration agency jaxa's htv vehicle. We have another payload delivered by Northrop Grumman and of course Spacex who will be delivering the new solar panels on their cargo dragon later this year. At some point we would appreciate an inventory of the Crewlock bag. It is not necessary to open it. I'll take everything you can see through the uh, that plexiglass, okay, so this is what I can see. I have a camera. I have a drive lever attached that looks like an integral slot.

We have quick release. tools attached to the integral rat and I have a garbage bag that is the excellent integral wrap, it should be like this, it should just be a small large adjustable on the outside I think, and that is affirmative, I have a small large on the outside. ready to do it with my brt rep this time great, it's a good setup for the coolock bag, you can grab it and then head to uh apfros. I have my green hook instead of the backpack, don't I? The yellow configuration hook is locked. Back in black, both wheels are unlocked, copy, you have to go back to the airlock and once you get back there, the first thing you're going to do is put that bag in the overhead part of the airlock, okay, I'm leaving .

Out, yes, hopper, your first task will be to relocate the intake aid from the apfr in with 31 to the apfr in with 27. So the first step will be to remove the wire tire and take a second to see how it is installed because you will be installing a cable tie once you have installed inlet 8 on the other part from this view from a high definition camera on Mike Hopkins' spacesuit and clearly in the image you can see the APFR which is the articulated portable footrest that allows astronauts ensure their balance and gives them some leverage while working outside on a spacewalk.

He is moving entry aid from one APFR to another for future spacewalk preparations. Meanwhile, NASA astronaut Victor Glover is on his way back to the airlock. He will save one of the jumper cables that was recently vented, he will also pick up a new weta which is a wireless video system external transceiver assembly, he will remove and replace one that recently failed. Okay, it's a release copy that you can read on entry 8 and then transfer to the other epfr. Uh, yeah, well, usually the return trip seems faster, but it's not. We have another question from NASA, this one from Scott asking if ground control can see the status of the astronaut suits or if it's up to the astronauts to monitor the mission control equipment here on the ground.

He has constant observation of the suits and constantly monitors consumables, including oxygen, which helps determine the duration of the spacewalk. Okay, it's black, black on black, pulls, turns great and you can install a cable tie. Ideally, we would like a new cable. tie, I knew you were going to say that and I asked Eva to confirm, okay, coffee, Andy, I'm putting this back in its normal place, that's right, the rear handrails should be facing port and there is a diagram on the page. three off your bracelet checklist, if you want to take a look, our next question to NASA comes from a viewer who wants to know why the spacesuits are white instead of any other color.

That's a big question when the international space station is exposed to sunlight. See, it can get up to about 250 degrees Fahrenheit outside now, so to deflect some of that heat, the spacesuits are white. Astronauts also have cooling clothing under their spacesuits and can regulate their temperature to help them stay cool. Hmm, okay, wiretapping was installed. Great, now you can group your coolart bag on the apfr with 31. And since that rail needs to point towards the port, we would appreciate it if you could turn the bag 180 degrees. Well, put on my vrt and then go get the other one, which is the firm one. you can put that crew zip bag apfr combo on the brt and then you'll put the apfr from 27 to 31.

Okay, how is it? In fact, the bag is in place for those handrails. The end of the bridge is on it. above, the two ends fit over the top of the bento center, on the back side, maybe you can see them on wbs, we are happy, it looks great, thank you, you are happy. You can then open the thermal cover and attach the waste belt. the airlock d ring extender works um okay the thermal cover Andy is opening copy each other. I see one, two, three, four hooks locked on the block, which is a nice safety feather chain through the center of the airlock earring and I agree, then you can retrieve the weta bag from the airlock and temporarily store it on the railing of the 554 airlock and in the hopper, you are looking for a 12 clock.

Okay, talking about 12 and the other configuration should still be good, it is indigo indigo fox 12. indigo indigo when I see fox 12 I need to get my right back back give you a good pull and turn this although I see black on black paul good turn copy and then just uh tone control please today's space walk now at 2 hours and 42 minutes mark this view from the camera in Mike Hopkins' spacesuit he's working with the articulated portable footrest meanwhile NASA astronaut Victor Glover is back in the airlock translate back to the airlock just a reminder to pick up your green hook from 5223 and check the glasses before you arrive sergeant here I'm back thank you uh you can see the colors are starting to change outside the space station and that's because the station itself is entering a nighttime orbit.

The international space station is currently flying at 260 statute miles over the Arabian Sea and at 17,500 miles per hour the station orbits the earth seeing 16 sunrises and sunsets per day currently in the airlock you can see those red stripes that's the astronaut from the NASA Victor Glover today's ev1 or extra vehicular crew member one preparing for his next assignment copy coming up next for Glover He will be removing and replacing a weta which is a wireless video system external transceiver assembly. There are three wetas that receive video from wireless video systems. He will remove the failed one and install a replacement one and then return to the airlock again to save the red spool of failed hardware.

NASA astronaut Mike Hawkins is currently out of frame, but recently completed his duties, relocating an entry aid for the articulated portable footrest. He will then work on the Columbus module on various tasks in which he will work to connect cables. On the Bartolomeo platform, he will also work to secure some clamps on the platform and, in addition, will service a radio ham who is not necessarily in place. Copy now. Next, you can retrieve a crew zip bag number one, which is the Bartow Mayo Columbus crew zip bag and put it on. on the airlock railing or D-ring extender and on the hopper, you will stop at the anchor hook location to retrieve both anchor hooks, okay, I'm aboard the sergeant's copy, it's okay, happy anchor hooks, it takes you an 81 for interest.

I'm putting it on my red wheel okay yeah that's the company and you're still attached to the airlock waist strap and the D ring all right lacing to the box put that typical copper that astronauts are getting upset about their next Today's spacewalk tasks now last two hours and 50 minutes and we have a question from Mary's 10-year-old who wants to know how big the space station is. That's a great question. The space station is 357 feet if you measure it from end to end. So if you put it on top of a football field it would be almost exactly the same size including the end zones okay the eb1 anchor hook is on my red wheel it's unlocked very close I don't walk blocked on the copy of black trap test, you can retrieve your own anchor hook and save it to your mini workstation.

Okay, we have another question, this one from Joe wondering how many astronauts are on the international space station right now. There are five astronauts inside and two outside, so in total seven astronauts live in international space. station four of those are NASA astronauts mike hopkins victor glounter the two you see outside today shannon walker and kate rubins we have astronaut from the japanese aerospace exploration agency soichi naguchi and two cosmonauts from roscosmos sergey rizhikov and sergey kuzkov you like marjory's I think it means what I think it means okay I'm in port and hopper just a reminder to double tap the port and starboard cedar carriage to break the release pedals please tap twice zombieland, tap twice, nice one two, let's check okay, that's got me thinking about twinkies like I'm thinking it would be a good squeaky night, wouldn't that be a good twinkie?

You have twinkies hidden anywhere. The teacher he has. Thank you. They search the space station. Guys. Pretty. Those are real friends. Okay, I'm coming. starboard coming in, double tap here and we'd love for you to take a break and lower your medical rates a little bit. I'm taking a break to check out this company and like it while you rest. I'll do a glove inspection and make a copy of that and the hopper arrived a little broken earlier. You can then attach the anchor hook to the aft D-ring and then you can attach the Ike anchor hook to the front.

The D ring on the airlock works and if you want to release the apfr first that's fine too, ev2 has an anchor hook on the last D ring. Side lock closed with bell, black on black, good pool , those are the ones on the front, like the actual closure. blackpink pull test auto lock that shows you two big settings, copy and accept and uh you can free yourself from the airlock d-ring at least it's okay also here's the dialogue do you read ash? , whatever you prefer, let's see, I'll try it. and present it to him, okay, it's not working very well right now, let's grab this rope from the dairy center over the hfr, we'll deliver it in 10 seconds, we're on a satellite transfer. during today's spacewalk, both astronauts meet currently in the airlock and preparing for their next task, the first task they completed today was venting two bridges in the initial ammonia system, one of those bridges was relocated to the outside of the airlock for possible future use , yeah, atf putting it on the wiff Let me grab this and we'll go out. from here I actually have to do something with a rat like wire tie here, okay, Andy, I mean, uh, I just take the weather and go outfrom the hopper path, yes you can grab the weta and make room for the hopper if you want, since I've been in the airlock, we'll just check the safer handles, please, yes, they have two safer handles in carbon, Excellent, and I did it.

I copied earlier that congratulations bag number three is stored in the airlock copy, uh, andy. I'm going to close the lid, copy, okay, the thermal lid is closed, okay, I'm going to get out of your way, received, I'll see you, happy wedding. Wait, it looks good, it doesn't matter at all. We are sitting in this other atfr. we have a lot of yards of atf here, yes, that other apfr that the hopper was referring to, that is the one you will take to bring with you to do the rnr. I'm done with a wedding, I'm just going to tim still the weather bag here and then I'll come back and take the air up here copy okay, you want a watch, you know 12 yes please 12 and then tango tango fox 12. oh you're getting getting fussy, okay, making noise, okay black on black, good pull, good turn, um, okay, the weather is well kept in the uh, in the note, one circular handrail from another, uh, wheels swinging, Let's keep copying, okay, Andy, it's, uh, my mind is in the locked position, but it's not quite spoken.

I'm going to say that's fine for now we can move on to the other things. I can finish that for you since I'm doing stuff with the epfr charger. Yes I'd like to. I think it's a good plan. Probably that hopper if you want. Make sure if you want to grab the number one zipper bag and then get out of the way then I'll do a glove inspection and ask you to check it after that I think if it's almost there you might be able to get this last. on the tone knob and if that's okay I'll give you a quick overview of the big picture we're exactly on the timeline uh hopper your doctors are a limiting factor at six hours 22 minutes but this is to give us the opportunity to protect ourselves from a ammonia test in the airlock if we decide to do it, we haven't decided to do it yet but we want to protect ourselves and finally the inhibitors are in place for both the potatoes and aweta workplaces, it's been three hours and six.

Minutes since the astronauts changed into their internal battery-powered suits at the start of today's spacewalk, both astronauts are in the airlock right now preparing to move to their next workplace for Victor Glover with the red stripes around their legs. of his spacesuit as an additional member of the vehicular crew. one that will remove and replace a weta, which is a wireless video system external transceiver assembly, mike hopkins will head to the columbus module where he will complete a variety of tasks with the bartolomeo scientific platform, as well as reconfigure an amateur radio offering. the pitch setting is right you're just trying to get the knot out yeah that's fine yeah it's very jagged and sticky to the ends if you get another 10 degrees and it makes us go in and out it's not pretty but it was. pop, yeah, it's locked, it's locked in place, okay, I'm out of here right here.

I'll copy Andy, I'll copy all the psychological stuff, the other settings of this thing, are we ready to go? The setups were good we are ready to go so you can grab the apfr with 12 and then head to the airlock with six where you will set it up and the hopper you can head to the Columbus job site you know pretty well so let me know if you want some details, I think I'm fine and I drop the hook of my dreams right after leaving near cma3, that's a lot of fun, happy, I'll see you later in the lab, poppy, the copy of the gas key and that gas key should take you to node two, railing zero, three, four, five, where. you're dropping your green hook, so you're looking for an eight-and-six timing.

I'm going to give this thing a pull test because I know the guy who installed it. I think it works well. Ballistics. It's solid. there, give me that timing again, Andy, the next setting is kilo kilo, I'm just confirming, copy that, um, okay, timing of eight and then it's kilo kilo, delta one and hopper, you're looking for rail zero, nine , four, three, to save the number of the kulak bag. one in the copy and I did a pull and twist test and a black on black box black on black excellent thank you welcome bye great okay if you can still reach your weather bag then you can enter apfr kilo delta a crusade It's extended, you've installed a good pull test, oh sorry, wait, I have to shout some more, I'm a delta 12.

There's just a reminder in the warning to avoid contact with that white thermal layer on the widow in this view. From Victor Glover's helmet camera the number 20 can be seen on the bottom, indicating that he is in his spacesuit and is preparing to remove and replace an external transceiver assembly from the Weta wireless video system. To do this, he will need to loosen three fasteners before he can remove the defective unit, then replace the new unit, install three fasteners, and then return to the airlock with the defective part. Meanwhile, Mike Hopkins is in the Columbus module.

You will notice some plugs and cables on Bartolomeo's payload pad during us eva 69 earlier this year there were some difficulties connecting some of those cables so today I will fix the problem and provide more information about the cafe area so that can release the long cable tie and go to lever p1. Leave the cable tie attached to the railing and then you can uncouple, inspect and attempt to remake the p1j1 connection. Whoever installed these wise eyes did a very good job, it looks very nice, yes it is a pain, the two plugs you see Hopkins working with.

Right now there are plugs one and two in an intermediate configuration, as they were after us, Eva 69 in the January copy, and we have great views. I don't see any fun. Assist gdmi bin on p1. Let me go back up to now. there are definitely little tight closed spaces okay I have a nice softball and there is no joy coffee there is no joy so let's go ahead and try the broom tool to expand those copper spikes you can grab your settings of pgt son bravo one counterclockwise two I'll be on The Dude first, the connections for the first cable that Mike Hopkins was trying to attach weren't completely completed so they're working on some workaround options of problems as planned and you will loosen the external fasteners in any order, 7 to 13 turns each until the bolt comes out the outside first.

Any order 7-13 works fine. I definitely see that Ike was talking about the scene in the smg during the initial spacewalk to work on these connectors. It was reported that the connector prongs might be more closed than initially expected, so Hopkins is using a tool to try to expand those times in the way the images, uh, it's folded, I guess when I pulled it out something it snagged or maybe I put a little bit of side loading to make it attractive and this. was in the right fox practice socket, that's an affirmative copy, so now you can connect to the failed weather with your mini workstation. red, it's not really good, so I'll start with alpha, it will be a direct input, a direct output. a second hopper, could you try to give us a better view if you put your helmet closer to the socket?

Yes, there is a wire in the way, unfortunately, it is attached directly from the heka Mike Hopkins working to give it to the teams here on the field. a better view of those plugs yes we have a good view it's just hard for us to see the damage so if you could describe it to us we would really appreciate it okay again so get the times and the part that folds up. so does the part that folds at the top make sense to you? Yeah, okay, so one of those has bent. Okay, I get it, like I almost grabbed a lip of the broom and the broom pulled it out. what we mean is correct or I could have put some side loads on it, five holes that caused it to bend that way too, if we were to go to the pen straightener, I think we would have to be careful with that.

It's very easy to bend them back, okay, hopper, wait, meanwhile we're arguing down here. I assume you've read about failed weather, in which case you can loosen the center fastener 25 to 31 turns. The bolt doesn't come out, but the box will pull out of the back. Have the letter in your hand. Failed without bent prongs on the stud side or where the plug only has to look good on both sides. Well, there's no confusion and I'm getting ready to put on the round copy of Snoop Water. All you're going to do is get the round scoop and put that into failed weather.

The teams on the ground continue to troubleshoot and provide options for the Columbus Bartolomeo platform out of Columbus, okay Hopper, I'm back with you, um, let's grab the pin straightener and then we'll have you practice on one of the practice sockets to see if you can expand the spikes using the pin straightener, okay, the Houston teams are also working with the Oberff teams. oberfaffenhofen germany the location of the colon control center troubleshooting these tasks with the bartolomeo hopkins platform will now move on to testing a pin straightening spike expansion this will provide line of sight to the spikes while trying to expand them well, practice on g no see If there is any noticeable difference in the coffee hopper, can you see if the tines move when you apply pressure with the pin straightener?

Yes, there is movement and then it snaps back into place. Copy copyright and hopper. If you are comfortable with the hopper, then you can use a pin straightening tool. on the actual sockets alpha bravo charlie and delta, okay, I copy it and just as a comment, um, I commented that they were floating, it seems like the only ones that are actually floating there are e f and g alpha bravo when I just tap on them they don't move, for which they feel solid and hopper shaped, that's what we would expect as the practice plugs don't have wires attached to the back so they can float, okay that's okay it's a full hopper and I'll do it .

See you ready for the weather. Now you can drop the scoop. I see you just did this view from Victor Glover's helmet cam as he works to remove and replace a Weta. Just a reminder that when installing the new climate we need running torque to power. To determine the final PGT setting to tighten it down, so just a reminder not to release the PGT trigger until the correct number of turns has been reached. If you release the pdg trigger, please inform us about the running torque and turns before resetting the bolt. install it and to start with ike it will use uh bravo one clockwise two and it will drive the primary bolt just 23 turns and then it will report the maximum running torque so we can see the right side of your screen while Victor Glover use pgt or pistol grip tool to install a new weta wireless video system external transceiver assembly just don't float so much copy that hopper, we will take some photos of the plugs from time to time, after that you can try to do p1 to make it a happy hand job hey andy 23 laps max running to a decimal six max started at turn 21. 0 to turn 21 copy uh okay you can set your pdt to alpha 1 and leave it on the engine and then drive the bolt primary to squeeze an additional minimum turn count of one and a half turns, okay, first I want to put this dud in the bag.

I'll call you when I'm ready for that, okay, Victor Glover, now putting away the failed weta, will return it to the airlock. good reading sorry alpha one clockwise two yes clockwise two alpha one clockwise two the torque and uh minimum of how many turns minimum one and a half turns okay , how did Andy make the good software to copy the center? Nice and the crowd does good work, excellent, good news. I gave a touchdown but you played on the wrong side of the ball hey we made interceptions waiting okay that's a good setup you can take off the reds and I see uh bravo one clockwise two five turns report the torque race yes, good word, the same procedure as for the center screw on the left of the screen, you saw Mike Hopkins successfully attach the first plug to the Bartolomeo scientific platform.

Now they'll move on to the second one and look to expand those spikes with the spike expansion tool once again. Okay, I copy working with Wi-Fi. ok p2 10 no fraud dmr ban and just a reminder five turns only on the outer bolts and then report the maximum operating torque please okay i drove the zenith bolt five turns zero is the operating torque do you want to do what same on the gauge while I'm waiting on hold that was just wonderful so I'd like you to continue with the bolt you were working on but take the pdt to themanual ratchet mode with a two decimal five mtl configuration and your two decimal ratchet files may work fine.

I'm going to turn it clockwise, you're going to turn it until it spins and jumps. A small recommendation for you is to block the rental. Thank you. High definition video coming from Mike Hawkins as he continues working on the Bartolomeo platform. We saw the first cable. successfully docked, he is now using the pen straightener barb expansion tool to work on the second socket, meanwhile Victor Glove continues to remove and replace an external transceiver assembly from the Weta wireless video system and I only get a reminder of that the bolt has a spring so you may have to push it to activate correctly, yes that wasn't all, it wasn't enough friction to be ok, I gave it five turns by hand and then half a turn and it jumped twice to the manual ratchet standby mode.

We are checking that everything is okay, let's proceed with the nader bolt, so ptt. and bravo one clockwise two five turns only and please report the maximum torque level of running one clockwise two five turns only running two and Eva just reported that the zenith bolt it's a good facility thank you, we are three hours and 46 minutes from the start of today's spacewalk and this is the team leading the crew from the ground the orbit team two at mission control houston the astronauts completed by first time venting the initial ammonia system their first major task of the day since then they have moved on to their second major task for victor Glover which is the removal and replacement of a wireless video system, external transceiver assembly or weta for mike hopkins, he's working on the bartolomeo platform in the columbus module, okay, let's meet up, so the voice you hear talking to the astronauts is andy mogensen, a european space. agency astronaut is transmitting tasks and guidance from the ground to mike hopkins and victor glounter today's two spacewalkers not sure what I'm doing wrong can't get the mtl from mike hopkins's 2.5 high definition view trying to plug that second wire into the bartolomeo rig so if you want to get it out of the 2.5 you can move the collar counterclockwise and then pull that little piece in and twist it, yeah that's what I'm trying to do and I'm not getting it move out of 2.5, okay, wait, maybe there's no joy in any joy in the p02 copy hopper, wait and could you check that you're ratcheting counterclockwise?

I tried it on the ratchet counterclockwise it reacted clockwise. I can't get the keyboard you guys can see my wps yeah we look good if I didn't do it once let me call you guys I've been sitting here trying the whole time yeah we get it and we're just discussing others. options Mike Hopkins continues to use the pin straightener time expansion tool clockwise and just ratchet and let it go right into the and it clicked anyway it's at 30.5 going to bravo clockwise clockwise up to five turns and giving good words to the torch and its goats. drive the five turns and yet we see you trying it with the pin straightening tool and it's okay there's not enough friction to tighten it so I can turn it with my hand or I can turn it with the cgt let me know what you want to do. and I'll do hand turns until you think you have enough friction, okay, give me the return to standby mode 2.5 of the ratchet clockwise, that's affirmative, so go back to the ratchet, uh, clockwise clockwise, mtl 2.5, you want to be there, okay?

I'll do these hand turns. first clockwise three five six and hopper if you need about three quarters of a turn and two puppies copy that about three quarters of a turn and hopper if you need additional leverage you can use an adjustable uh the hook of an adjustable to that bale i'm getting pretty good leverage so we'll see or put the adjustable strap over the lever okay Andy my pgp is back to 30.5 nominal. This time we came back with no problems, great good news and that's a good way to install. after trying to turn it on thank you and that's at work and then we will inventory the bag the bag has the failed widow with a round soup on top and then there is a round scoop on the outside there are reds For those two round shoes Back to the bag, there is an adjustable external and a red external perfect for you to go out the exit door and store the bag on any airlock handrail.

It is advisable to confirm the good installation of the new external transceiver of the weta wireless video system. The assembly installed by Victor Glover will carry the failed Weta back to the airlock while Mike Hopkins continues work on the Bartolomeo platform connected to the Columbus module. Well, the initial success is not repeated. It was already worth it, although I got one. I'm going to try one more time, uh, one more try with the pin straightener, um no, I'm going to try it one more time here and then you'll make me see if I finally can't get it, okay, no joy, what would you do? we would like to make the next jump, we would like to go to p4, p4, okay, so I can leave this offline for now, do you want it partially?

We'll leave it like that for now, but before we leave the job site we need to return it to its initial settings, okay, and you just confirmed that you don't want the weather to be in the airlock, you just wanted it to always start on the label, I mean it's up to you, it has to go back to the airlock at some point, but we also want the apfr to go back to its original location with 12. I'm going to put the weather in the airlock, it's good for us, it was deleted from copyhopper j04 and I just have one eba question for you.

I see some flakes of wetas falling on the white paint right, that's a strong negative, it's been almost four hours since our spacewalkers switched their suits to internal battery power as we began today's spacewalk, we saw the members of the crew successfully ventilated two jumpers into the first ammonia system. of which was relocated to the outside of the airlock. Victor Glover removed and replaced an external transceiver assembly from the wireless video system and will soon relocate the failed unit to the airlock. Meanwhile, Mike Hawkins has successfully connected a bridge on the Bartolomeo platform and continues to work on the platform to troubleshoot the connections, well Andy Floyd has a small and big red on the airlocks.

I am about to get the apfr. In fact, you want me to install the cable reel backwards. Waiting enough. Go ahead and get the apfr back and I'll reset it to 12 and then we'll have you working on the airlock reinforcement instead of the cable routing okay hey andy I took the caps off uh j04 and p04 any type of cable that is one on p04, copy your go to the water, copy your go. use a pin straightener to try to expand the spikes, thanks and on p04, good possibility, no fodmi van and let me take a photo of where the sun sets, come on, okay, working the pin straightener on the j04 copy while crew members continue to work outside the Space station, we continue to answer your questions from NASA, this one.

What is the small mirror in the astronaut's left hand for? Great question, that mirror provides astronauts with a view of the front of their suits and that's where astronauts can access communications. The volume and the temperature inside their spacesuits, all of that is written in mirror image, so that when they see it in the mirror on their wrist, they can read it and adjust it however they want, and if you're going to do it with 12, where do you have ? where it comes from and you're looking for a six clock, that's where six comes from, we have another question from Mary's six year old asking how high above the Earth is the space station and where is it above the Earth right now.

The space station is currently flying 266 statute miles over the South Atlantic Ocean, approaching the west coast of Africa. Oh, it's quiet. I was just looking at the view and the ocean is beautiful, that blue or something, right? Okay, Andy, take a photo. and see what we can do with before the copy j4 nasa astronaut mike hopkins continues trying to connect the cables to the bartolomeo platform, okay andy, if you are english 12 plus 6, good pull and twist test, welcome back , copy and the rest of the settings. kilo kilo fox nine and hopper, one technique you might want to try to use is using two hands, so once you get to the center, put one hand on the rear housing and the other on the lever and push together right here, kilo fox. nine and entry eight is complete, stay on Andy, copy everything and the problem with that, Andy is that the brt is not strong enough, copy that hopper, okay hopper, if you think you've exhausted your attempts to do it this way.

What I can do is try to take an adjustable put both hooks on the bullet and then pull the loop and again we will do a glove inspection and ask you to check it please my half is dry closer to d2 work again yeah , let's try the same. technical in p2 and copy of nominal gloves Victor Glover reports that his gloves look good and his hat is dry the absorption pad on his helmet is now preparing to work on installing the thermal cover reinforcement to prevent it from opening in the airlock that Mike Hopkins has I successfully connected another cable on the bardo mayo platform and will continue trying to do the same with the second cable.

Whoa, whoa, huh, okay, no joy, yeah, we see that hopper right now. We suggest moving to p3j3, that's fine and that looks great. position good orientation this view from Victor Glover's helmet cam as he is now holding the thermal cover reinforcement once installed this will help prevent the thermal cover from opening in the air get a padlock extra caps and cable ties make sure As teams on the ground continue to work with the European Space Agency in Oberwaffenhuffen, Germany, troubleshooting tasks on the Bartolomeo payload, where Mike Hopkins continues to work on wiring, additional security is available free of charge. , yes, we offer additional security for p3j3, okay, thank you during the initial ammonia venting.

Prior to the first task of the day, it was suspected in the system that there were some ammonia flakes that could have come into contact with the astronaut suits, however, exposure to the sun has completed a natural baking of any of those potential ammonia flakes. vent above and if you could, please give us an estimate of the spin count, both from what you've done by hand and what you do with the pgt. We appreciate it. Two turns on the first bolt and I'm just getting to the second turn on the second. one I wanted to do two points just for a little bit of stability before we do anything else we're okay with that one two well I'm going to alpha two clockwise two overflows six and one turn so far by hand everyone the bolts should be uh hand I started before you start driving I'll start all six yeah please okay just work it could improve.

Hey p3, good pins, 3dmi band and working with the pin straightener on the a03 copy, two turns on the bolt, two copies, while Victor Glover moved on to another. The main task of the day is to install the thermal cover, the sniffing booster, Mike Hawkins continues working on the Bartolomeo scientific platform. He is using the pen straightener barb expansion tool. He has used this tool and since he had success with two of the sockets, so far, so good except one. four of these bolts so far, so the reinforcement is going well, how are you doing? I have two or four good ones about to try a3 and p3.

I guess okay, okay, two turns, vault three, copy, okay, good stuff, doc two, three, three, j3 free. We did it, yes, yes, we saw it excellent using the same technique as in the previous fourth plug. Mike Hopkins has successfully connected the third plug to the Bartolomeo platform. Well, Hopper, if your game, we'd love for you to try the pin straightener again on J2. p2 I totally agree Mike Hopkins continues to use the pen straightener barb expansion tool to expand some of those moments that were initially reported during Eva 69 us Eva 69 to be a little tighter and then of course the power rating for power distribution units has been disabled for these troubleshooting procedures while Victor Glover continues work on installing a reinforcement on the airlock thermal cover copy.

Let's do this again and install another thermal cover reinforcement. Friends, you need these wobbles. Yes, it makes sense to align the thermal cover. that's, uh, yeah, the first one I was obviously able to get over the center, the rest I would have to sink a little bit andI'm on the last one and all those pulls caught up with me, let's take a break and I try to get in seconds, but it's my useful trip, yeah, we copy it. We're on a quick satellite transfer and we're watching Mike Hawkins try to hit a third jumper or the second jumper by number, we should say, but he's hit three jumpers. to the bartolomeo platform until now Victor Glover is near the mission airlock and is installing the thermal cover reinforcement.

We are now four hours and almost 30 minutes into today's spacewalk. I have trouble seeing, I can see it, it's irritating, I'm trying to keep it open. This eye is okay being watery taking a break thinking uh please water you know how that works okay when I open my right eye it's a little irritated completely irritated yeah okay Andy are you talking? Yes, we copy, so the water irritates your eye, so it's true negative something I don't know what it hurts to have it open it irritates me if I keep it open when I close it I'm fine a little irritated and it's crying you know tears it's creating tears I'm blinking it's working if I try to keep it open my left eye is fine it's just information I didn't use anti-fog on my helmet I didn't use any it's fine we copy you didn't use anti-fog and we copy it is your eye irritation that is causing your eye to cry, It wasn't water in your eye, but something else irritating it, that's right, the only chemical in this uh emu is putting the paste on the electrodes, yes, I can, uh, what are you thinking you want? okay, I'm right in the airlock, I'm good, I'm still working on this last one, I'll keep you posted, I'm good, I'll let you know it keeps getting better.

The flashing is working, I will let you know if it works. It's not good, I'm not happy that Victor Glover reports some irritation in his eye, but it gets better as he continues to blink. He is in the mission airlock installing a thermal shroud reinforcement and Mike Hopkins continues to work on the Bartolomeo platform outside Columbus. Surely not, yes. I'm still flying the Navy Marginal BFR Hopper. The only other thing we can suggest is that you use two adjustable, uh, to get kind of an extra long loop that might give you more leverage. How's it going, looks like you're continuing to work on installing the booster, okay so I'm going to give it a try David, this is the one where I really need 3D vision and it doesn't help but I'll try to put most of it on the thermal cover and then see Yes I can line them up that way see if I can get them both to me okay this is a view of Mike Hopkins suit with his high definition camera providing a view of the plugs he is working on on the rig Bartolomeo, a hook to the strap. that adjustable and then the other end around the handrail so you're pulling up maybe just to give you a different direction to pull in yeah yeah we can try that let's try using an adjustable tube ah yeah you give them a line, uh, Victor Glove continues. work outside the mission airlock on the thermal deck.

He is installing some reinforcement tubes by hand turning some bolts to start and secure them. This reinforcement will help prevent the airlock thermal cover from opening. uh uh andy, yeah, go ahead, in the prep bag there. long and small things, I use them to go through the reinforcement and into the tube, if I can line them up, waiting, removing what the helper has, yeah, the room and our rotation tool, um, you're going to use that rotation tool the prep bag yes Do you think that will help? Okay, still no joy, Amy, how much more do you want to give this one?

Give it one more just a second hopper okay hopper let's try to do the plug extender evaluation so we have an idea of ​​what. I could be wrong and after that we'll probably just plug it in, yeah, it's going to tough stuff, coffee, it's a tough stop, yeah, oh, yeah, my band looks good, yeah, we copy hopper and that's a good review, now we are ready to have you. Cover them so you want to grab the 25 liter lid which is the one with the Kapton tape on it okay so you don't want to leave it attached to the cable tie like we did last time.

No, we prefer to have them covered. Okay okay man hey Auburn we appreciate all that extra effort but I think we're ready to move on so try plugging both ends uh Aubry we would appreciate it if you took pictures of the connectors before you pick them up get one now Same as far as I could go my Hopkins was able to successfully connect three of the four plugs the European space agency was working with today and the NASA teams agreed that Hopkins will take photographs of the area and then cover the plug and the bridge hey, this view of Victor Glover outside the Quest airlock as he continues to install a reinforcement in the thermal cover, let's call that three turns, alpha copy 2 clockwise 2 to tighten right and I'll do a test of traction in each hand.

I started with the bolt before driving with the ptt pulling to OK. Can I do it right before driving each one? I have to get everything ready and pull just before driving each one. It's just to make sure they don't have cross threads. Okay, Andy, you said a 25 liter, right, that's the one with the tape that mounted easily over the center copy and just a candy 25 direct comments, a good full test on the copy of the bowl files and then it's alpha two clockwise, two four turns, green light. 3.8 in torque copy had a good traction test in four and three and a half turns.

Green light 3.6 on torque copy. Okay, you can continue, it's fewer turns than we expected, so we may have to go back, but go. Let's continue, okay, Andy, you wanted an inventory while the light continues. Yes that would be great. Turn on three green lights 3.7 on the course. Well, I'll stop talking when Mike starts. Okay, so I have an integral one with the garbage bag inside. the garbage bag is one, let's see, I need more wire cards that I should take. Do you want to remove these other two long wire sides from those 943s? Yes, please, okay, wait then for the inventory and what was your report on the last bolt?

I think we missed it 3.7 on the torch, it's a little hard to read, it was two and a half laps or ten and a half laps. Copy four and a half. This will prove to you this view from Victor Glover's helmet camera as he continues to use the pistol grip tool to install the airlock booster green lights I pulled the trigger again I lost the torch I tightened it again 3.6 in torque what was the number of turns owned three and a half turns three and a half turns complete test in one this is a High Definition Camera View of Mike Hopkins' suit and the little tool you see him holding is actually his garbage bag and a turn and half lit on a green light 3.6 on the tour Hopkins is still in the Columbus module specifically near the bar limo payload, you can see the connectors behind him he was able to connect three of the four we were looking at today the third in the half is covered European space agency teams will evaluate a future course of action green light 3.6 on the torch copy three turns in six well give us a second to discuss the turn count get all the seconds you need it would be strange for me if they weren't part of the family, but since everyone agrees, we are close, go ahead and just see, yes, we agree, we are still.

Just double check to make sure because it's a lot less than the 11 turns we were expecting meanwhile, how's his right eye? That's normal, that's great, it's back to normal and if you'd like to give us a glove check and look it over, we'd appreciate it. those other changes Victor Glover here in the center of your screen in the mission airlock working on installing a thermal cover reinforcement reporting that his eye is back to normal after mentioning earlier that it was slightly irritated, I'm sure We'll take it too, okay? on my left thumb you probably see a little bit of thread, it has that, yeah we see that else it's just the rtv on the right index finger a little bit of rtv on my right thumb check the outside, well nothing looks good, i have a copy , okay, later inventory so I'll have to do this again after we do the ham radio uh just second jump I think eva would like a little more detail on the thread that you showed us earlier on the camera that was sticking out of your was Is it your left thumb or left index finger, what about the thread? there's a little bit of thread on my left my left thumb is sticking out right next to the rtv along that thing okay hopper we're just double checking with the mirror but uh as long as it's from the seam we think which is okay, okay, copy it looks like it's in that area, look in this inventory, I'll have to do it again if, when I open this bag for the damn radio, good call, we can. skip the inventory now and we'll go to the hem radio work site okay and jump in we're happy with the gloves okay thanks just over five hours since today's spacewalk started at 7:14 to.

Central Time, 8:14 a.m. ET until today. Crew members vented two of the jumpers in the initial ammonia system and relocated one of those jumper cables to the outside of the airlock for possible future use. Victor Glover removed and replaced an external transceiver assembly from the wireless video system, meanwhile, Mike Hopkins successfully connected three jumpers. on the Bartolomeo platform and covered each other, the thermal cover is flush with the reinforcement and also that each bolt head is flush with the tube or receptacle. Victor Glover continues work on the thermal cover reinforcement initially planned to be a two-person task.

To allow Mike Hopkins more time on the Bartolomeo payload platform, he continued this work. A good view from Victor Glover's helmet cam of the thermal deck where you can see below. He has installed the reinforcement. This will help prevent the thermal cover from opening when doing something. what the team calls fries Andy, they are all flush with the center of the heat cover and it is as if there is a metal or composite plate between the reinforcement and the heat cover fabric and the bolt heads are flush, there are A stuck washer, I mean. there's the bracket the cord has two and then the washer on top and three washers underneath so it's all flush there's no gaps in any of them and nothing's twisted it's all flush wait it's okay , we would like to try one last thing: on one of the bolts, either bolt five or bolt six, which are the two bolts closest to the hinge, if you could try installing one of those bolts with a ptc setting of alpha three clockwise two alpha three, okay.

I'll try a Nexus 6 Alpha 3 clockwise, okay, Andy, one last, take a look at the job site here, okay, you're going to translate it to the Apcu panel on the other end of Columbus, okay, copy that that way and just for your consciousness jumper. uh the payload had a good turn on oh good to know thanks an extra quarter turn turns on the green 5.0 light on the standby gate keeps us forever okay we appreciate that extra effort let's just say that this is good. install and we are done with this task Mike Hopkins received good news that the power checks for the Bartolomeo platform and the three of the four bridges he was able to connect today went well.

Victor Glover has just been informed that the task of reinforcing the thermal cover is being considered. Mike Hopkins complete, the view here from the space suit of him and the high definition camera is now on his way to work on the ham radio reconfiguration. Thanks, I'm at work. Okay if you need it you can keep your Crewlock bag and if not I will be working on disconnecting the p2 antenna from the j2 apcu after that I will reinstall the locking screw five hours and ten minutes after the spacewalk from today. You just caught a glimpse of Earth, specifically the South Pacific Ocean, from Victor Glover International's helmet cam. space station flying 266 statute miles above us everyone has a j02 goat p02 teammate mike hopkins has now begun the task of reconfiguring the ham radio will donate two plugs on both sides copy, you can now separate the aeris p02 from the j02 antenna, okay and these You may have to uninstall both on this reinforcement, which is between the fabric and the plates, the hook itself.

If you can see it in wbsd, you'll see it and then I'll describe what's happening, but I can't remove it. Yeah we see that uninstalling one gives me enough room to stay out of there and I know what you're thinking, that's not the reason they didn't increase the torque, that's a far cry from 11 turns, it'll be the same amount. of turns when we reinstall it, yes, we are on the other bolts, or we agree and are fine with your plan to loosen one of the bolts, please, step alpha 2 counter 2 the alpha 2 counter 2. alpha 2 in sensecounterclockwise 2 6 volts one is okay, j02 and the antenna, are not denoted, there is no foreign copy in just one second, okay, hopper, uh, you can take the camera and take pictures of the eros p02, the p02 antenna, the j02 antenna and the j02 atcu, in fact we would appreciate it. it separated and the washers separated, it went in all directions and the ball wins, yes we see that there is a washer right at the top of the camera view, now it is out of view, I think the bolt I can see goes straight. later the bolt goes straight, nader, okay, no problem, we are still fine with the number of bolts installed, so if you can free the rets, we will still consider this task complete, you can work, sorry, no No, that's not your fault. the bolt shouldn't have separated, you know, I can get another bolt like that, all the results and it's okay, there's no bolt there, but it's back, with the thermal cover over the tube and I had to use that, this, I don't do it .

I know what the hell is involved in this, long and small thing that I have every season, right, uh, yeah, I think we call that a probe, there you go. I had to use the broken one as if we were talking about that cord with a washer. that's still attached if we need to do anything about it yeah what are you talking about while you're talking trying to put this probe back in the bag yeah you can put the pro back in the prep bag okay pics Andy's are complete, excellent, good news, then. now you can attach the aeris p02 to the apcu j02 panel, okay, so the air e02 I don't see a label on it, but it's definitely yes, it's the cable with only one end, the other one has a and the and and that cap.

Both are fine and hopper. If you need further confirmation on the aorus cable that it is mating, there should be a label that says hmu895. Yes, I have the correct cable, I mean the other one, but why? Yes, exactly, I thought so. that was a better description yeah that's perfect okay I'm a soft copy of the center so next you can take two of the size 25 caps from the round zipper bag and cap the ends of the Y wire and those um oh, I have an integral. rep that is going to be adjustable, it is attached to a wire tie cart like it has three walls and six lengths and then it is also attached to a connector cleaning tool, the coffee hopper is always adjustable, we just received a delivery so I got an integral red one with an adjustable for a connector cleaner and a cable tie mount, that's the first part and I have an integral rep for a gopro and then I have the camera which is attached to its own wrap which is on one side of the bag so I'm going to close that side up okay okay plug in zero two this high definition video coming from Mike's spacesuit Mike Hopkins today's ev2 or spacewalker number two , you are working on reconfiguring the ham radio, Andy, what size, uh, size on the hmu 601? just a standard 25 with no tape on them, got it, there are two plugs installed, copy and you're ready for an inventory on this side, I'm fine, there's an integral one, it's got a trash bag, there's three cable ties in that bag of garbage, there is a dress, small, small, broom tool, a small red, small for the pin straightener and an integral cart to destroy the lid, now one, two, three, four, five, five lids and then, in the outside, you have the large, small, adjustable, excellent, it's a good inventory of bags, you can put that. on your vrt and I think at this point we will have a quick discussion with you about the advanced tasks and an additional one.

For you, hopper, we would like the ends of that cable to be zip-tied to our handrail, please, yes, that makes sense. The only other thing I want to talk to you about. I don't know if you can see the sales radius of this antenna cable from Paris that's coming, can you see that in hell, you guys are happy with it, yeah, we see it in the hopper, just a second, okay, once You guys have closed the bag with a crew lock, let's start working on tying it? from the end of the boat cable may and then if we need to do anything about that bend radius we will let you know, so it looks like you already have the CP8 and CP9 cable reel bags out of the airlock as well is.

Okay, well, you read our minds. What we suggest going forward, we're about five and a half hours per pet, so we suggest that you don't do the Bartolomeo cable clamps, but then both work on routing the CP9 and CP8 cables. You'll work on CP9 and Hopper, you'll work on CP8 if you're okay with it, bye navy blue, great. Looking at the timing, it's very likely that we won't finish routing the CP8 cable, so we'll probably have to tie the bag at some point. the happy path, okay though, so you can go ahead and start with cp9 and we'll need you to take the nadir path under the lab to the port side of the rat nest, okay, we'll do that while Mike Hopkins continues reconfiguring the ham. radio outside the space station Victor Glover is going to begin some cable routing procedures scheduled for the spacewalk.

It's been almost five and a half hours since the spacewalkers powered up their internal battery suits this morning. Excellent, now you can recover the crew record. Your BRT takes your green hook and returns to the airlock. Yeah we're happy, there's not much we can do about it in any case, so go ahead and put the bag in your vrt, grab your green hook and head back to the airlock. Andy, I have the cp9 b pouch and I'm starting my translation to the live copy and once you get to the port side of the lab, you'll look for the 285 rail for your green hook.

I will make your real beds. on the circular airlock railing oh, I bet you're going to take it from me. I like a summary of today's spacewalk progress so far. The spacewalk began at 7:14 a.m. m., central time. 8.14 a.m. Eastern Time, which now puts us at over five. During an hour and a half of this spacewalk, crew members first invented two jumpers in the first ammonia system and moved a jumper cable to the outside of the airlock. successfully connected three bridges on the Bartolomeo platform and covered another, leaving Sparta Mayo in a mostly operational state with good power controls on those cables.

Victor Glover recently installed the thermal cover reinforcement while Mike Hopkins worked to reconfigure the ham radio while he continues to work. In this task, Victor Glover is moving forward with some cable routing tasks planned for this spacewalk. He copies the waiting hopper for just a second before leaving the workshop and I think you need to move forward in the laboratory. This is the rail route. You can see another one. way to get there and then cross this handrail gap that key that's the one I was looking for yeah that looks good looks like you're on the right path like I'm looking at 285 now getting ready to leave my greenhouse Copy this is where I was going What are we thinking?

Andy, yes, I apologize, hopper, we are discussing how much pet we really have. Give me a few minutes because there's no point in starting CPA if we only have, say, half an hour. then we could also do the colon or bartomeu clamps, okay, coffee copy, you can translate aft in esp1 to the lab and the cone and then to port labstrong, good, hopper, we have made a decision, we have enough time to go to a 6 45 pet so we'll take you back to the airlock and start working on cp8 okay andy i can see the c2v2 cable so you'll look for the spyder w4300 cable and once you find that spider cable .

You will take the p8 out of the cable reel bag with about 10 feet of slack and then attach it to the j8 on the spyder cable. Is it four three zero zero whiskey four three zero zero? That's right ok I found it so Demate the p8 cap on the cable reel bag and also demate the j8 cap on the spyder cable about 10 feet away and just a reminder that the cable goes in the front side of the inner plate, plus strut, in front of the c2v2. cable thanks for that reminder alright gentlemen I want to see the store happy in fact Andy I'm going to stay there so it's a good position but I'm going to put the bag on the other side so the reminder can be copied again. and the hopper, you can just temporarily sew the coolock bag on the outside of the airlock and then grab the CP8 wheeled bag and before leaving the airlock we will perform a glove inspection and check how the routing procedures look like of cables. for CP8 and CP9 cables, Victor Glover has started this task, he will retrieve one of these bags of cables and start routing it.

Eventually, once connected, these will provide a copy of the Wi-Fi hotspot. I'm looking for which one to connect with p8. j8 j8 is on the spider wire whiskey 4300 okay i found it an adjustable hook on that cap while we wait to get the video back you still have audio with the astronauts no change in the glove since the last report copy it and no change in the growth excellent You can grab the CP8 cable reel bag and then move the port to the rat's nest and if you need to run the handrails, I have them for you.

The voices you currently hear are those of astronaut Victor Glover. You may hear him referred to as Ike. his call sign or some sort of nickname that his crewmates gave him. I don't see anyone from my gang on this side, but copy and double check that you're not catching your safety leash when you're mating these two. I will do that. Check that talking to the astronauts here at mission control in Houston, you have Andy Mogensen, astronaut from the European Space Agency, that's the company that's right on the cetera spur and then Victor Glover has started on CP-9, which is the cable routing task of port 9 of the camera, we suggest putting with good advantage in three four three seven and three four five nine three four three seven from there, very good, andy the lever is forward over the center, it is ok 8 did it together copy that so you can start your translation part and where possible use existing cable ties to secure the cable to the handrails and just be careful to avoid contact with the target radiator beam once you get there.

Glove confirms that he has connected plug eight to jumper eight and uh I just want to set up a second one okay again just check that the cable is routed on the front side of the innermost strut you saw the wvs no no we have ku right now, okay, it goes straight from the spider cable to that handrail, uh, three five two one, it doesn't go around any of the struts, it's ahead of what I see as the inside of most engines , like the cqb2 cable, which sounds good to us and I have suggestions for handrails for cable ties, but it's up to you if you decide to do it yourself, let us know. what handrail do you use okay see if I have it on the outermost strut where the c2v2 wire goes out there is a wire tire so I'm going to put one there just to keep going in the right direction it will be flat after reporting a good setup, Victor Glover has started routing the CP9 cable.

Okay, Andy continues with the external copy. I'm going to skip three five four three just because I tied the wire right at the top of the strip, like I mentioned. I am looking. for three six the copy of the two cable sizes available is perfect yes that was saying along the c2 v2 cable path and hopefully there should be cable ties for you to use along that path Okay, Andy, I'm here so you can remove the p7 connector. Your cable reel bag has about 10 feet of slack and you want to route it forward of the innermost strut, so basically the same route I put on your cable.

I see the cable here. The next one is 3620. This one has a short cable. the guy goes here, do I need to put three turns or one or what do you need? No, no, there is no need for 323, there will be nothing left for the hardwood, yes, no problem and the hopper you can separate the p7 lid and then you are. looking for j7 on the whiskey spyder cable 4300, okay, you'll have to give it to me again, I'm not quite ready for that, I'm sure not at home, okay, and andy, I'm moving to the I'm moving to the front, uh .

Yes, we copy, I'm looking for 3637. With the completion of the ham radio reconfiguration, Mike Hopkins now joins Victor Glover in the cable routing that runs just above pmm, okay, yes, I turn my wheel or I don't turn, very easy suggestions, Andy, yes. We see that you are having trouble getting the cable out of the actual bag, right, yes, it is getting tight. Okay, hopper. I have some crib sheet steps for you so first of all you can pull the black tab on the flap of the Mli to open the. bag more completely well complete and then check happy mli it's just that it's tightening it's not spinning I said wait hopper then you might want to look for a tape that says remove before eva that might be preventing it it should be something like this if you look inside where there is the opening along the edges it is the only opening there is now that the tape would be inside the opening the next thing you can do isCheck if the cable is caught between the reel and the housing.

It seems like there are multiple openings in this bag, isn't there? Yes, I don't see any cables trapped between the reel in the housing. Hello, Álvaro, we are going to need a few more seconds to talk about this on the ground, to see if we have more ideas. Victor Glover continues. routing the cp9 cable ah there we go says remove before eva there we go excellent I thought those things were supposed to be red yes no shoot Mike Hopkins dealing with the problem on the CP-8 cable and he may have located the source currently 5 hours and 55 minutes from the start of this morning's spacewalk and a hopper, you might want to try putting it in one of the side pockets behind the wire cart or something, okay, I'm at 3687 at the cp-9 base , I repeat.

Sorry, I'm on rail 3687 at the base of CP-9, copy that great so you can unwind the excess cable to get the other connector out and then you'll remove the connector from the cable reel bag and route it to 3687 where you are and then you can roll up the excess or the slack and you can tie or secure the slack between 3687 and 3688, which should be in front of where you are. Do you need me to touch both handrails? i just want it to give it in my vicinity standby mode which works a little easier andy that's good news and i understand you can just wrap it around that handrail 3687 the important thing is to make sure the target plane of rotation is clear so that can't understand that, okay, we can talk about that in a second before I lock it in, okay Andy, which one of these am I going to choose?

You are going to use Juliet 7 on a spider wire. Yes, the labels are right after the connector. on the cable, yeah, we're not in an amazing location and there should be a cover there that you'll have to remove. 4300 has three connectors right there, yes, and one of them is the one that I connected correctly and then if you follow the connector past the metal back case about six inches from the back of the back case along the table , there's a label with something on the other side if it's not in an impressive location, and there's a cable tie on the right. above they smell the bit of your hoe, and just a reminder before you make the connection, check that your safety strap doesn't get caught and again also check that you are routing it forward of the inner plate.

Most are making progress on today's spacewalk, with a total time of six hours. Both crew members are working on routing the cables and once connected, these cables will provide a Wi-Fi hotspot that the connection will not be made today. This is simply routing those cables in preparation. for future spacewalks in my truck copy go mate p7 to j7 i made it 7j7 okay andy let me see what I'm doing with this cable with the free end go ahead there's a twist around the cable that handrail three six eight seven, I think that was then, I'm going to take the package and put it under a twist that way when they release this package, there is still a twist holding the base of the inner extension of this handrail, copy the good plan in the plane of load rotation.

I'm actually looking at the loop forward, so I think the load rotation point is being asked, it's still looped right at the base of the vss, whatever the stance is called, right at the base and right above the handrail, no believe. the loading rotation plane is a problem you can see in my wbs which we think is excellent so could you aim for the average? You're going to offer a good deal. I got the first one, it's your first cable tie and that was actually one that was in the year. So the night I used it too, that's how I was supposed to go to 36 21.

And then the railing broke and I moved on, so you'll be on it, you're just going to go to a straight project if I wait out here ,Andy. Am I going to have a conflict with what you want me to do now? I would like you to re-sync the lens hood on the CP9 to align it with the camera body. It's fine, it works and just a warning not to translate or maneuver on the CP9. oru because of the expansion load limits say that last part again you don't want me to translate what uh don't translate on the cp9 oru it's okay, but the station I can go to the party the bss attention um, maybe I can communicate You from the race track, but you may have to go to the fake interface, yeah, okay, two more down.bolts, okay, I'll go slow and try not to put loads on it, uh, and it wants to be twisted down a little bit, a little bit more to square, you're looking at the inside of the flight control room of the international space station, flight controllers. all monitoring the systems and suits and astronauts aboard the international space station during today's spacewalk.

Okay, Andy, that's as square as I can get. You can see? Well, we don't have ku right now. Okay, then it's perfect. I wouldn't imagine anything else, okay, so they know where I am. 3620 of the handrail, okay guys, I think that's the gas in the handrails, so I think the 3620 handrail is a good place to tie the CP8 cable reel bag and that's what we suggest you do, like this that we'll tie it nice and tight and then we can go back to the airlock, okay, 3620 is a short handrail, you might want two copies, would you prefer it on a longer handrail?

It's probably easier if you tie it between the two rows of handrails, so that there's the back row and the four rows, that would be our suggestion, okay, and just a reminder to push the opening bag against the frame, Make sure they don't sleep with each other. oh yes, you did it, sorry, put your right leg back, now it's clear, launch to the other side, yes, okay, excellent, today's spacewalk lasted six hours and 10 minutes, here's what What I have left is not a whole. Much as the astronauts are routing the CP8 and CP9 cables, Glover's cable has been routed to the desired location, there are two adjustables right there, the cable routing will end a little early for Mike Hawkins and they are tying the bag outside where it can stay indefinitely, however, both of these will be accessed on future spacewalks and will eventually connect to provide a Wi-Fi hotspot leaving a country.

I've got you good and I have room to finish my side here. Okay, wait, let it receive the extra cable well. you know what this is, it just connects to the bag loop and then pulls up, oh yeah, that bag loop okay, there we go, people squeeze the bag, okay, we're back to you after a longer than expected delivery, just a reminder to Bring the two cable tie carts and any additional rats and adjustables not used to tie them back to the airlock. Oh, okay, so we're going to be okay and remember you put a piece of tape behind one of the carts to hold down cables.

Yeah, okay, let's see here and if it helps you can put the fire tie down caddies and other pieces of equipment in the Ike bag or in an ice bag, that's what I was thinking. Remove one side that is adjustable. Well, let's see, so remember where the hook goes. through the bag and the wire cart loop, okay, so I don't think the wire fraction is tied now, so you want me to use this feather to tie to this side, yeah, if you can, you have enough to slide it over below. I have the yeah I have one right now to tie it up okay so this strap that's on both of them I'm going to take both of them on this adjustable that's on my side okay I'm going to connect Now if you have other connections to the cable holders On your side, you can release them.

Okay, now I have these. Let's see if you have one. You don't have this one. No this. Yes, the side that faces me. I guess so, so these two cables are connected and remove them with that, can you confirm right here that this cable tie caddy has a red color on this side? You're still on point. Well, I can't give myself a second. Okay, Andy, there's a big little one here that I think we want to keep in mind. That's right, believe it. Okay, please wait, yes, so that everything goes back in, except for the two adjustable ones that are used to tie the bag.

Okay, so I've got an adjustable on each cable tie cover, okay, you can drop everything else to the Wi-Fi cart, done, okay, I've got the one on this side, the relief on this one, pick it up, good grip , let's see where the opening is, look at the opening going up. I'm still ready. I can take this off. I'm going to pass it through the handle. You want it like that. Yes, and uh, just to confirm that we would like the small large adjustable to fit inside, so please use two small adjustables. Alright? I'm trying to put these watertight kittens in the bag, Patrick, as easy as it seemed in my head.

NASA astronauts Mike Hopkins and Victor Glover, out on the spacewalk today, are working to secure CP-8, which is the camera port 8 cable bag, that cable was partially routed. Besides the fully routed CP-9 cable, this is the last major task for astronauts today. Alright Andy, I have a little one coming out of the cta bag and going to my nwf. A small big one also comes out of CP8 and goes to my nwf, that's red, okay, so what we can see looks good. You can take the red one off the bag if you want and then you can hold it with the adjustable ones right here, our room decision on this side is fine too, let me take the red one off.

I tightened it too much, am I right? okay, I'm ready, okay, it's comfortable, okay, okay, I agree, it looks good, it's not going anywhere, great and if there are cable loops, we just want to make sure those are secured as well. so they don't interfere with the rotation of the target, I have a loop on this side, how big did it look on your side, just about eight inches inside the handrail? But it looks like you're going towards the forward-facing cargo I agree, it's fine, it's wired, it looks like a good tie-down, that's it, when you're happy you can go back to the airlock, follow your safety straps and I remember to pick up your green hook from lab 285.

I'll follow you from here, although okay, more coffee now, that's how it looks like the photo. It's a good job on that bag that turned out well, right? Yes, friend, it must be the same person who did the cable ties on Bartolomeo Papas. I don't know that person because it was a little difficult and I think this is where we parked the company, so I'll see you back with the airlock sergeant. I'm going to thank everyone's car using something the crew members finished their tasks for the day and the sun rises on the international space station as it orbits 260 statute miles above the northern pacific ocean.

A helmet camera caught a brief glimpse of the solar panels. The next major upgrades for the international space station will be the installation of new solar panels arriving later this year. year, these are known as irosa, which means deployable solar panels, this technology is not only used on the space station but also for the power and propulsion element for NASA's lunar entry outpost, the main difference between those two Solar panels are on the space station. They will be installed and deployed manually via spacewalks, but those at the gateway for the power and propulsion element will be deployed autonomously after launch, so while you translate, I will give you an update on the ammonia situation that have had until now. completely baked and combined with the fact that you didn't see any contamination on your suits and that the propulsion stream was not directed directly at you, then our recommendation is that we do not do an ammonia measurement test inside the airlock, but Of course we want your opinion about it, what do you think?

I think we're fine. I'm comfortable with that too. Yes, Andy, we like it. Excellent. Then we will give up the ammonia measurement test. idv2 is in the airlock. idv1 is my greenhouse. Watch from your spacesuit's high-definition camera Mike Hopkins has returned to the mission's airlock as Victor Glover heads there. Just a quick summary of what our astronauts accomplished today. Six hours and 25 minutes have already passed since the start of the mission. space walk that began at 7 14 a.m. m. center 8 14 a. m. This crew members vented two jumpers in the initial ammonia system and relocated a jumper cable to the outside of the mission's copy of the airlock that Victor Glover removed and replaced an external transceiver assembly from the video system. wireless that recently received a successful payment if you want to connect your waste strap to the airlock D-ring extender, you can go ahead and do it.

Mike Hopkins successfully connected three bridges on the Bartolomeo platform. That task had recently caused some problems for astronauts on a previous spacewalk. This year he also plugged one of those bridges leaving five of six connectors mated and Bartolomeo in a mostly operational state. European space agency teams will evaluate a future course of action and the little hook is also a good copy of that and I think I heard yousay that, uh, you're going to get that bag back from the Columbus club that's outside, tepstode, it's at work. Power checks were reported to be successful on jumpers connected to the Bartolomeo platform today.

Victor Glover installed a thermal cover reinforcement to prevent the thermal cover from opening. I'm affordable, I think I'm right, so if you're on the court, okay, we have some kind of cross that will hang here, yeah, okay, I have the red from the inside. Apfr serves as a fair advantage to me. So you see my cable, yeah, I do it right, okay, would it be better if I couldn't do that? uh I'm ready to go in okay I'm going to do one last look okay other tasks completed today included Mike Hopkins reconfiguring the ham radio okay let's go and both astronauts worked to route the camera port cables the CP-9 cable was routed to its intended destination for the day and the CP-8 is partially routed, yes, and it's clear, okay, so, once you're satisfied that you're connected to the D-ring extender from the airlock, I think you already checked it, then you can try to release the anchor hook.

You can take the anchor hook from the hopper and place it on the waste belt and then check that the door is closed. hook closed okay earrings roger black on black door closed to my waist strap which is also closed on black he is closed roger okay, I'll see you now I also have this real bag okay another one uh actually you know what has all red on it, both astronauts are back in the airlock, but the spacewalk itself and your watch won't be complete until repressurization of the airlock portion of the mission airlock begins, okay, real little bag It's in the eh, sure, I'm still waiting to get my fcu then.

If you can retrieve your own anchor hook and store it in your mini workstation, I have to put the chain together through my waist header still locked in black and I'll grab my anchor, okay, here we go, I'm locked, I have both. anchors up let me pull this p8 into hdp9 you clear okay keep my brt located and I'll be in shortly here we go um that's much better. I want you to check that the well pin is in place, the same one that used to be the aft pin on the forward hinge and then also something new and now there should be a hope that you did it when we leave, no, no, it's not You need to go out and verify that Andy the quarterback looks the way he did. when we come out, there's no change, copy that, so now you can close the hook and adjust the strap until it's pretty tight and then let us know how many marker lines are visible.

I smoked it and it essentially takes up the entire slide, so it's one, two, three. four five six, which is, I think all of them could, what slack is that you can take, yeah, we copy and see that on your wbs so you can take the scu out of the bag and plug it into your dcm before you do that. you check that the velcro the strap is not blocking access to the magnetic plate the bur is not tied is what the pen is connected to you talking about this other velcro it is not velcro it is no longer interfering okay, okay, if you could uh a little bit more, whatever size you are, in reputation forward, they do a little bit more that way here and then towards the hatch so I can move my place up, yeah, okay, look at my sc, even the job that made a lot of space, whatever You did it, I turned a little, keep it forward and the hopper is connected and locked and the hopper this time you can turn off your heka, Roger, thanks for the reminder.

Damn, it's off! Both astronauts are now in the airlock with the thermal. closed deck this view from NASA astronaut Victor Glover's helmet camera and this one coming from the other side of the mission's airlock this is from a camera inside the part of the equipment lock where the astronauts dressed this morning while the scu is cooling so now at this point you can turn off the water and wait for the water to be off copy of the message and we have to wait two minutes before closing the hatch one two and I have a high copy of O2 message happy family the only message I guess we're doing the same thing As we can do anyway here on this, so Hopper, you're on scu, so we don't see an immediate problem with the O2U high message.

The pressure of your suit looks good too. We will wait for one more day just to confirm. Not just trying to get into position to press the button, the astronauts' job is done for the day, however, the spacewalk is not over until the repressurization begins due to the tank being refilled, so let's go ahead and press with a nominal value. entry and nominal suppression, so this point has been off for over two minutes, so you can go ahead and check that the outer hatch is free of hardware, check the position of the handle for the hatch decal, and then move on , close and lock the hatch.

Um, things are out of the way of the hatch. Can you remove the safety pens? Fortune, yeah, sure you can stay there. There is a small big one. It's perfectly in the wrong place. That little big one is hanging. Don't forget which one, uh, is right in the center. off the handrail, okay, right on the safety feathers, great and if I can get that big one, little one, oh that's it, there's a longer cpa bag, how is it so much better? Okay, now I'm going to come back to you, right here, I'm crashing into you or Is it that weather?

Oh, now okay, press the button again uh action, okay, continue in the direction of the latch counterclockwise, I think that's it, I thought this locking tab would be completely flush, no , Andy, the track handle is completely hard, oh, there we go, it's flush, okay? Alright, here's a loop for the patches to close and lock. Excellent, if you could tell us about the increase of the indicator please, maybe 0.1, it's right on me, right on the left edge of zero. Alright, we copy, so we'll move on to the uh. request signal card pressed so on your DCM just double check that the scu is connected to the DCM one two and I can confirm that your water has been off for two minutes so on the crew lock check that the EV hatch is closed and block anyone in the uia check that the oxygen valves two of them to emu one and two are open open e1 or emu1 open emu next change the power to ev1 and 2 to excellent ignition check that the volts ev one and two are 18 to 19. 18.6 cd1 18.6 eb2 finally Turn on your DCM, switch the power to scu and wait for the warning tone.

It has been a pleasure working with you again. At this point, I'll hand it over to Suici and Kate at the Sandy airlock. Thanks to the 3.5 update team. It was a good day, thank you. Everyone yes we agree great job out there we appreciate all your hard work thank you yes thank you Andy and from here Suit ib will take over the Great Press eb1 ev2 auto australia crew to push and work with both astronauts in the airlock and the hatch closed. We'll be looking for repressurization to begin and mark the official end of today's spacewalk.

This view of the part of the mission's airlock equipment lot where soichinoguchi and kate rubins are waiting for the astronauts to help them take off their spacesuits and probably eb1 and ub2 press that is the first dd2 video is for us, okay and check the eb one, check that the eb hatch m type is quite closed, okay, if necessary, we will start repressing the ib hatch equalization above, I will cover things from the very small rate and see. how is it going look how necessary it is to copy it's not that we press it says say right there until p.m. wow just letting you know we're all awake waiting for you tv1 is good maybe two is good can I slowly lift the press ring with a spacewalk that started this morning at 7 14am Central Time, we just saw that repressurization begins at 201 p.m. m.

Central Time, bringing us to a total of six hours and 47 minutes for today's spacewalk, a wave to the camera from Soichinoguchi, we will remain in the air until The astronauts are back inside the part of the mission airlock equipment lock and have taken off their helmets as we wait for another recap of what the astronauts accomplished today. We saw them work together to vent two bridges in the initial ammonia system and relocate one of them to the outside of the airlock Victor Guanter removed and replaced an external transceiver assembly from the wireless video system or a weta that was recently reported to be had a successful check mike hopkins connected jumpers on the bartolimio platform and plugged one connected three jumpers which means five of the six connectors are now mated and leaves bartolomeo in a mostly operational state power checks on the cables connected today were good and European space agency teams will evaluate future course of action Victor Guanter installed a thermal cover reinforcement to prevent the thermal cover from opening and Mike Hopkins reconfigured the ham radio also near Columbus, the astronauts then routed the CP9 cable and routed partially CP8, bringing us to a total of 6 hours and 47 minutes for today's spacewalk.

Three point one, there is 4.0. Look, everything is happy, now the equalization values ​​are off and I. It'll take me two minutes until Saturday, so sometimes, and if you're on eb2, this is the best time to accept the dinner order, yes, hot, yes, twinkies, Kate just gave me all the options, so Well, I'll stop walking and go to the, you know, no. quite still independent a little bit of the same irritation this time on my left side sorry right now yes, much milder, although it's just noticeable, my radar sorry, I haven't done or changed anything in the last few minutes t1 is 244 decimal 85 It's Well, we're copying good numbers with the completion of the spacewalk today at 201 pm central time.

We have some updated statistics for you based on the spacewalks on the station which lasted 6 hours and 47 minutes and was the 237th spacewalk in support of the station.

maintenance

and assembly improvements, it was the fifth spacewalk

conduct

ed in 2021, but the sixth for Expedition 64. With one originating from the Poisk airlock and five from the Quest airlock, this was the Victor Glover's fourth spacewalk with a total of 26 hours and seven minutes. for mike hopkins, today's spacewalk totaled 32 hours and one minute, as we mentioned, six hours and 47 minutes and of all time, that brings the total spacewalks for space station assembly

maintenance

and upgrades to a total of 62 days, three hours and 54 minutes, and I guess there's no auto for this yeah, they're going to continue ev1 uh eb1 eb2 both autolox trader a ivy any id db2 I'll start the equalization over and over again it's starting slow and I'll resume the race awake as you feel comfortable instead of backing off new one okay, well, I would love for us to resume the race while repressurization continues on the airlock crew airlock portion of the mission.

We have a couple more questions we can answer. This question is one size fits all suits. Does it fit all or are there different sizes Engineers on the ground take about 80 measurements to ensure that each spacewalker has the best fitting spacesuit and there are about 16 main elements that make up the suit which is about three different sizes of torsos eight sizes of elbow joint pieces two adjustable waist sizes five sizes of knee joint pieces and 65 sizes of gloves or custom gloves The next question comes from Kylie who wants to know how long these astronauts have been on the station and how long They will remain as astronauts currently living on the space station.

They arrived in two separate vehicles, the first of which was NASA astronaut Kate Rubins and Rose Cosmos cosmonauts Sergey Ryjikov and Sergey Kuzkov, who arrived at the International Space Station on October 14 after launching on a Soyuz rocket. They will remain aboard the international space station until next month Meanwhile, the other four crew members, five four crew members, arrived on the spacex crew mission, arrived on November 17 and will remain on board until the arrival of the spacex mission. crew 2 and out loud we copy and agree we'll keep an eye on your report when you open the IV hatch and the Houston station in a uh now it's quiet and it looks like the pressure is equalized if the guy's okay we're not detained uh opening the hatch and I understand that we are locked for you honey, we are leaving for you to open the IV hatch with the crew lock part of the suici repressurized mission airlock and kate rubins prepared to open the hatch that the separated from mike hopkins and victor glounter how was your uh uh epa in dgl mine was like butter oh yeah, those were them?

They are small and tiny so rare that they should be made by everyone at any time.place you can go. She was thinking the same thing. Make more of them. They have to run on high voltage. We need a lot of peony and crew members. We have no ammonia detectable by smell. That's good news. Okay, that puts us in Eva's nominal position and we'll restore the equipment you took out earlier. Later. Okay, thanks as a reminder. One of the astronauts specifically assigned today, his first task was to vent the ammonia from the early ammonia system. Confirmation of Kate Rubins. that there doesn't seem to be any ammonia residue on any of the crew, oh let's see, the feather on my waist may still be attached and the Houston airlock in one just lets them know that the crew is gone on the direct line in space to land one and then for kate and suici we just want to make sure that you open the post cva 1.240 procedure from optimus because it is an xtp version and not from the link in the ammonia decontamination procedure.

Keep your version of Mike Hopkins now in the team blocking part of the mission. airlock both tvs are not top notch good copy ok rubens and suicina gucci are taking off the safest backpack and houston station one we are picking up the first eva and we are starting step seven to make it safer baby , wait if we copy the safest one. It is the simplified aid for the rescue of Eva and it is a backpack powered by compressed nitrogen, obviously we did not see the ones used today, they are reserved for use in case a crew member detaches from the space station and needs to maneuver back for another look.

In today's spacewalk, according to figures, this was the 237th spacewalk in support of station assembly maintenance and improvements and the fifth spacewalk this year, it was the sixth spacewalk for Expedition 64. One of those that took place outside the Poisk module and the other five outside. From the mission airlock we saw today, this was Victor Glover's fourth spacewalk and he now has a total spacewalk time of 26 hours and seven minutes. Mike Hopkins completed his fifth spacewalk today for a total of 32 hours and one minute. Today's spacewalk lasted 6 hours and 47 minutes beginning at 7:14 a.m. central time, and ending at 201 p.m.

CT, and in total of those 237 spacewalks in support of station assembly maintenance and upgrades, there are 62 days, 3 hours, and 54 minutes of total spacewalk time that the four astronauts in frame led today's spacewalk in orbit mike hawkins and victor guanter were our spacewalkers and suicinaguchi and kate rubins served to help them dress and undress the team here on the ground consisting of flight director chris edelen lead spacewalk officer art thomason and earth iv who was transmitting the tasks to the astronauts andy mogensen, an astronaut from that or the european space agency and capcom kathy Bolt spoke with the astronauts inside the international space station, both Mike Hopkins and Victor Glover, within the lot of equipment, part of the mission airlock where they were preparing this morning. for today's spacewalk while we wait for the astronauts' helmets to be removed, a recap of today's spacewalk and everything our crew members accomplished, the spacewalk began at 7 14 a.m. central time, and The first task for our crew members was to air out two kit jumpers in the early morning.

Ammonia System Victor Glover relocated one of those jumper cables to the outside of the mission airlock, then removed and replaced an external transceiver assembly from the wireless video system. We have received confirmation that there was a successful verification of that hardware. Mike Hopkins successfully connected three bridges on the Bartolomeo platform continuing the work he started earlier this year. He also plugged a jumper, meaning five of the six connectors are now mated and Bartolomeo is in a mostly operational state. European space agency teams reported that the energy checks were good and will continue to evaluate the future. course of action for the platform Victor Glover installed a new thermal cover reinforcement that prevents the mission's airlock thermal cover from opening and Mike Hawkins reconfigured the ham radio near the Columbus module.

The astronauts finished the day by directing the CP-9 camera. The port 9 cable and partial CP8 cable routing, once connected, will provide a Wi-Fi access point for the international space station. Today's spacewalk ended at 201 pm central time for a total spacewalk time of 6 hours and 47 minutes. Astronauts Victor Glover and Mike Hopkins got a chance to flex their hands after a demanding EVA, of course, all the work on a spacewalk is done by the astronauts' hands, so at the end of the day working in those heavy gloves ​​​​and pressurized, it feels good to take them off and flex your hands and with the helmets of Victor Glover and Mike Hopkins, this concludes our coverage of today's spacewalk which will total six hours and 47 minutes.

Next up for the space station events, we will have Mark Vanda High participating in a live press conference on Monday, March 15 at 11 a.m. Eastern Time. Hora Vanda High will fly as part of Expedition 65 to the International Space Station Good attitudes and a successful day of work completed by our two astronauts Mike Hopkins and Victor Guanter and with that we say goodbye, this is mission control, Houston, you
