Spacewalk to Upgrade Space Station's Power System

NUMBER 18. CHRIS CASSIDY IS NO. 2 AND WILL WEAR A SIMPLE WHITE SUIT BOTH ASTRONAUTS HAVE COMPLETED NINE SPACE WALKS, MAKING TODAY THE TENTH TIME THEY HAVE BOTH BEEN IN THE VACUUM OF SPACE. HELPING THE CREW INSIDE THE SLOVES THIS MORNING THE CLOSEST THING TO THEIR SCREEN IS EXCAVATED. BEHIND HIM HE SAW ONE WHO IS HELPING THE ASTRONAUTS GET DRESSED THIS MORNING AND WILL HELP THEM MOVE TO THE BLACK PORTION OF THE QUEST AIR SLOVE EQUIPMENT. THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION IS CURRENTLY 262 MILES OVER THE NORTHERN PACIFIC OCEAN. DURING TODAY'S SPACEWALK, CRE WILL INSTALL NEW EXTERNAL STORAGE SPACE AND REMOVE OLD IMAGES FOR POWER SYSTEM UPGRADES AND PREPARE THE CONE FOR FUTURE AIR LOCK INSTALLATIONS.

ADDITIONALLY, THEY WILL BE ROUTED TO POWER CABLES ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE SPACE STATION. AS WE MENTIONED, THEY ARE GETTING A LIVE LOOK, THERE ARE TWO PORTIONS OF THE QUEST AIR BLOCK OR THE BLACK TEAM AND THE CREW LOCKOUT ARE CURRENTLY IN THE TEAM BLOCK PORTION WHERE THEY PUT ON THEIR SPACE SUITS AND HAD A BREATHING ROUTINE PREVIOUSLY AND ATTACH THE SIMPLIFIED RESCUE OF AID. ONCE THEY ARE READY TO BEGIN THE SPACE WALK TODAY, THE ASTRONAUTS WILL MOVE TO THE CRE LOCK PORTION, WHICH IS THE OUTER MOST PART OF THE QUEST SCHOOL FOR FINAL COMMUNICATION IN THE SUIT CHECKS WITH EARTH.

THEN THEY SWITCHED THEIR SUITS FOR POWER FROM THE INTERNAL BATTERY THAT START THE STOPWATCH FOR TODAY'S SPACEWALK. PUTTING THIS AGAIN. CHAP B. WE HAVE ABOUT 32 MINUTES LEFT IN PRE-BREATHING. YOU JUST HEAR HIM TALK ABOUT PRE-BREATHING WHICH CONSISTS OF TWO PHASES. IN THE FIRST PHASE THEY BREATHE 100% OXYGEN THROUGH A MASK TO START PURGEING NITROGEN FROM THEIR BODY AND IN THE SECOND PHASE THEY TAKE THE SPACE SUIT AS YOU SEE THEM NOW AND PERFORM SOMETHING CALLED A LIGHT SUIT EXERCISE WHICH YOU JUST COMPLETED BEFORE YOU ENTERED LIVE THEY MOVE THEIR ARMS AND LEGS SLIGHTLY INCREASE THEIR METABOLIC RATE WHICH EXCEEDS GETTING RID OF THE EXCESS NITROGEN IN THE SUIT.

AS YOU SEE, THE ASTRONAUTS ARE PREPARING SIMPLIFIED RESCUE AID. THIS IS ESSENTIALLY LIKE A JET PACK, IT IS USED IN THE EVENT THE CRE SEPARATES FROM THE SPACE STATION, HOWEVER, THAT IS NEVER THE PLAN AS THEY ARE ALWAYS CONNECTED VIA A STRAP. THE ASTRONAUTS CONTINUE PREPARING THEIR SUITS AND LITTLE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE SUIT ITSELF THIS SUIT TABLE 4.3 POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH. YOU PUT THAT INTO CONTEXT, THE ATMOSPHERE PRESSURE WE ARE USED TO ON EARTH IS APPROXIMATELY 14.7 PSI. THAT IS ALSO THE TH ​​PRESSURE INSIDE THE SPACE STATION AND IT HAS A MIXED OXYGEN AND NITROGEN ENVIRONMENT VERY LIKE WE EXPERIENCE ON EARTH.

THE 4.3 PSI INSIDE THE SUIT IS SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU MAY EXPERIENCE AT 30,000 FEET ELEVATION. THE LOW PRESSURE IN THE SPACE SUIT ALLOWS MORE FLEXIBILITY FOR THE ASTRONAUT, WHICH IS CRITICAL BECAUSE THEY NEED TO CONSTANTLY FLEX THE BALLOON DURING THE SPACEWALK. YOUR BOOK I WANT OUR ASTRONAUTS COMES OUT TODAY, THEY HAVE RECENTLY FOCUSED ON UPGRADES TO THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION BATTERIES. WE SAW IT IN COMPLETE OR AT LEAST FOR THAT ENERGY CHANNEL ON OUR MOST RECENT SPACEWALK LAST THURSDAY. THE ASTRONAUTS FOCUSED ON REMOVING THE OLDER NICKEL-HYDROGEN BATTERIES AND REPLACING THEM WITH NEW LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES. BECAUSE THEY SO QUICKLY PERFORMED THEIR TASK ON THOSE SPACEWALKS, TODAY WE HAVE A WHOLE NEW SET OF TASKS.

GO AHEAD AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ACCESS TO YOUR DEPLOYMENT LEVEL: LOVER. AS YOU CAN SEE, BOB NOW MOVES TO THE BLOCKING EQUIPMENT PORTION OF THE QUEST AIR SLAVE. ASTRONAUTS TRAIN FOR SPACEWALK AS SEEN TODAY HERE AT THE JOHNSON SPACE CENTER IN HOUSTON, TEXAS. THEY USE SOMETHING CALLED THE NEUTRAL BUOYANCY LABORATORY. THIS IS ESSENTIALLY A VERY LARGE POOL WITH A SPACE STATION MARK ON THE INSIDE. THIS ALLOWS THE SIMULATION OF MICROGRAVITY FOR ASTRONAUTS TO MOVE IN SPACE SUITS AND LEARN WHAT IT IS LIKE TO WORK IN THAT ENVIRONMENT. THIS IS 40 FEET DEEP AND CONTAINS 6.2000000 GALLONS OF WATER.

EVERYTHING IS MOVING THIS MORNING AS THE CREW CONTINUES PREPARING TO EXIT THE HATCH ON TODAY'S SPACEWALK. AFTER CHRIS CASSIDY HAS MOVED INTO THE LOT, THE HATCH BETWEEN THE CREW LOCK ON THE BLACK TEAM WILL CLOSE. DEPRESSURIZATION WILL BEGIN INSIDE THE KULAK PORTION AND THE SPACEWALK WILL OFFICIALLY BEGIN ONCE THEY PUSH YOUR SUIT ON INTERNAL BATTERY POWER. AND I BOOK IN LITTLE MORE DETAIL TO SOME OF THE TASKS TO BE CARRIED OUT TODAY THE FIRST IS THE INSTALLATION OF THE ROBOTICS TOOL STORAGE WHICH IS A PROTECTION STORAGE UNIT AS THE HEAD OF THE SPACE STATION FOR TOOLS IN WHICH IT PROVIDES THERMAL AND PHYSICAL PROTECTION.

INSIDE IS THE OUTER LEGAL ROTATOR, ACTUALLY TWO OF THEM, SO THEY ARE FIXED TO THE INSIDE BY NASA ASTRONAUT DOUG HURLEY. THE ROBOTICS EXTERNAL ROTATOR COULD BE PICKED UP BY DEXTER, WHICH IS THE CANNON ARM, AND COULD BE USED TO PROTECT AMMONI LEAKS ON THE SPACE STATION. THIS HELPS PREVENT ASTRONAUTS FROM MAKING EXTRA SPACEWALKS. I KNOW YOU ARE WATCHING LIVE INSIDE THE CONTROL ROOM OF THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION HERE IN HOUSTON, TEXAS AT THE JOHNSON SPACE CENTER. LEADING THESE TWO TEAMS IS THE FLIGHT DIRECTOR WHO IS IN THE BLUE T-SHIRT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN.

TO YOUR RIGHT IS A CANADIAN ASTRONAUT AGENCY SPAC, WHICH IS THE PERSON ON THE GROUND WHO TRANSMITS THE TASK FROM EARTH TO THE ASTRONAUTS DURING TODAY'S SPACE WALK. TALKING TO THE ASTRONAUTS BEFORE THEY LEAVE THE HATCH AND RE-ENTER THIS ASTRONAUT RECENTLY RETURNED FROM THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION LAST YEAR. ON TODAY'S SPACEWALK THE OFFICER IS SANDRA MOORE. SHE SUPERVISES THE TEAM, MONITORS ALL SUIT INFORMATION AND HELPES WALK THROUGH THESE PROCEDURES AND DISCUSS THAT INFORMATION WITH THE TEAMS ON THE FIELD. BACK INSIDE THE QUEST AIR SLOVE THE NASA ASTRONAUT IS SEEN PREPARING TO BE MOVED TO THE KULAK PORTION.

NOW THAT SIMPLIFIED RESCUE HELP IS ATTACHED TO YOUR LEFT AND RIGHT. THE NASA ASTRONAUT AND COMMANDER OF THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE CENTER IS NOW MOVING TO THE KULAK PORTION OF THE QUEST AIR SLAVE. THINGS PROGRESS GENTLY THIS MORNING FOR THE START OF THE SPACE WALK. OTHER TASKS ASTRONAUTS SEEK TO IMPROVE TODAY INCLUDE THE REMOVAL OF THE TWO OLD IMAGES USED IN THE GRAHAM PROCESSING OF THE SOLAR DEVICES BEFORE LUNCH AND WILL BE NECESSARY FOR FUTURE POWER SYSTEM UPGRADES. THE JULY 1 SPACE WALK THEY TRIED TO REMOVE THESE IMAGES TO GET THEM OUT, ALONG WITH SOME TOOLS THAT WERE USED WITH THE UPDATES EARLY THIS YEAR.

THOSE THAT DID NOT WORK FOR THE ASTRONAUTS ARE BACK TODAY WITH 3D PRINTED SALARIES IN SPACE WHICH THEY COMBINED WITH A WRENCH TYPE TOOL TO REMOVE THAT IMAGE. ANOTHER IMPORTANT TASK TODAY IS DRIVER PREPARATION: THE ARRIVAL OF NANO AND LOCKS IS THE FIRST TO LAUNCH ON THE SPAC SUPPORT LATER THIS FALL AND WILL BE ATTACHED TO OR NEWS THREE QUIET THAT THEY ARE ON THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION. WITH THEM BOTH INSIDE THE KULAK PORTION OF THE QUEST AIR SLAVE, THEY CLOSE THE HATCH BETWEEN THEM. WE HAVE ONE VERIFIED THAT THEY ARE IN THE PROPER CONFIGURATION. AND STEP 74 IS IN PROCESS.

COPY WE WILL KEEP THAT STEP 676 IS SHOWN WITH ABOUT 12 MINUTES LEFT. WE AGREE. HOUSTON, IF IT DOES WELL, WE COULD PUT THIS INTO PROCESS. YOU HAVE A CHANCE FOR THAT. ALL THE WORK THEY HAVE DONE ON THE PREVIOUS THREE SPACEWALKS has DEFINITELY paid off and they are already 30 minutes ahead of today's schedule. IN ABOUT TEN MINUTES, THEY WILL BE WATCHING THE PASSAGE THROUGH THE DEPRESSURIZATION OF THAT PORTION OF THE QUEST SLAVE. NASA ASTRONAUT AND AR SPACEWALK WILL OPEN THE HATCH AND ON THE THERMAL HATCH COVER. THEY REMOVE. COPY 12 AND 20. WHILE WE WAIT FOR THIS BEGINNING OF DEPRESSURIZATION WE HAVE A LIVING LOOK AT THE ASTRONAUT INSIDE THE QUEST AIR SLOVE SINCE THE SPACE STATION IS 266 MILES OVER ARGENTINA.

YOU MAY REMEMBER THE RECENT ARRIVAL A MONTH AND A HALF AGO OF ONE OF THE SPACE WORKERS HERE TODAY IN THE BLUE AND GRAY SUIT, AND PART OF THE COMMERCIAL TEAM PROGRAM ON THE FIRST LAUNCH FROM AMERICAN LAND IN ALMOST NINE YEARS. THINGS ARE GOING GENTLY THIS MORNING AS WE PREPARE TO GET BO AND CHRIS OUT OF THE QUEST AIR SLAVE. THIS IS THE TWO SPACEWALKERS' FOURTH SPACEWALK TOGETHER AND THEY ARE THEIR TENTH SPACEWALKS IN TOTAL. AND IT'S THE FINAL SPACEWALK PLAN BEFORE BOB RETURNES TO DOUG IN THE SPACESHIP. THIS IS NOW SCHEDULED FOR AUGUST. AIRLOCK WE ARE AT STEP 76.

THIS WILL BE AT THE CONCLUSION OF 76. AND GOOD MORNING TO THE REST OF THE TEAM WE ARE WITH YOU 76 IS COMPLETE. GOOD TALKING TO YOU. CHRIS, FOR YOU, CHECK OUT DEPRESSED ENERGY. DEPRESSED ENERGY IS ON. CHECK IF THE LED IS ON. IT'S ON. STEP 84 NOW NOW. AND THAT YOU ARE A GO FOR DEPRESSED KULAK. THAT IS AN OPTION FOR THE DEPRESSED. YOU TAKE THAT OFF THE SWITCH. THE POWER IS ON. SINCE THEY HEARD THAT NASA ASTRONAUTS ARE GOING TO DEPRESSURIZE THE KULAK PART OF THE MISSING SEARCH, THEY ARE COMMUNICATING INGENUITY AND ON THE GROUND. MONITOR THAT IT FITS THE CAGE.

ALL OF THIS IS OPEN. AND HE WAS SELECTED BY NASA IN 2013 AND HAS TWO SPACE WALKS ON HIS WAIST. SHE WILL BE THE ONE TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE ASTRONAUTS WHILE THEY ARE STILL IN THE SLAVE. WAIT FOR A WARNING ZONE. AND THEN CLOSE THE VALVES. DEPRESSURIZATION CONTINUES AS THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION MILES OVER THE SOUTHERN ATLANTIC OCEAN. DURING THE DEPRESSED AIR SWIFT WILL DROP FROM 14.7 PS OR POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH WHICH IS THE SAME PRESSURE WE EXPERIENCE ON THE EARTH TO A VACUUM WHICH THE PREPARATIONS FOR THE AIR SWIFT MUST OPEN TO THE OUTSIDE. ANOTHER LIVE LOOK INSIDE THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION TEAMS OF FLIGHT CONTROLLERS MONITORING THE STATION SYSTEMS ON THE SYSTEMS THEMSELVES WE ARE CURRENTLY IN AND ABOUT THIS BASE STATION AND MONITORING DATA ON RELATED SATELLITE SYSTEMS THESE ARE SOON RECOVERING COMMUNICATION WITH THE SPACE STATION.

THE CREW LOCK HAS REACHED 6 POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH OF PRESSURE INSIDE AND A REMINDER WE WILL TAKE IT TO A VACUUM AND THE SUITS RUNS AT 4.3 POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH. THAT ALLOWS FLEXIBILITY WITHIN THOSE SUITS. We should get here by five pretty quickly. I'M SHOWING YOU TO COME IN AND TAKE OFF THE DEPRESSES. IT IS CLOSED. DAVE RIGHT THERE. AND THEN FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS. THIS IS COMPLETE. COMPLAINT OF SWEEP CHECK. CHECK AND MAKE SURE IT'S THERE. 0-2. LESS THAN 5.5 PSI. GO FORWARD WITH YOUR BOUND CHECKS. ON THE LEFT SIDE I CAN CHECK THE LOCKS AND THE EXTENDER AND THAT IT IS CLOSED AND LOCKED.

ON THE RIGHT SIDE, MY RED WHEEL AND MY LOOK CLOSE. THE WEIGHT BELT IS CLOSED AND LOCKED, IT IS UNLOCKED. AND I HAVE THE YELLOW UNLOCK. LEAVING THE AIR SLAVE. THE BANK HOOK IS CLOSED AND LOCKED. YOU CAN SEE IT WELL. IT IS CLOSED AND LOCKED. THE EXTENDER. LEAVING FROM MY LEFT. THIS REDHOOK IS CLOSED AND LOCKED. IT IS UNLOCKED AND THE BOOK IS YELLOW. I CAN ALSO REPORT THREE GOOD STRAPS. COPY. THIS IS WHEN THE PRESSURE IS ON, I WILL BACK YOU ON THIS TOO. NASA ASTRONAUTS REPORTING GROUND ON THE CURRENT CONFIGURATION OF THEIR TAILS AS WE PROGRESS THROUGH THE PRES AND PREPARE FOR DEPARTURE FROM THE QUEST AIR SLAVE.

ZERO IS COMING CLOSER. THE VALVE IS CLOSED. TURN OFF THE POWER SWITCH. THE POWER SWITCH IS OFF. WAIT UNTIL WE GET THE ALERT ZONE AND GET 2.5 PSI. HERE ARE THE BAGS AND LIFTS FOR YOU. UP TO RIGHT HERE. THEN WE COULD START LOCATION AND IT COULD GO UP AND WE'LL SEE HOW IT WORKS. That looks pretty cozy in there. WITH ALL THAT THERE. YOU HAVE EXCELLENT FRIENDS. ANOTHER LOOK AT WHAT TODAY'S SPACE WALK WILL HOLD. THE CREW: WILL REMOVE TWO H ATTACHMENTS FOR FUTURE POWER SYSTEM UPGRADES. THEY WILL PREPARE NODE 3 FOR FUTURE INSTALLATION OF THE NANO REX AIR SLAVE.

THIS WAS INITIALLY SCHEDULED TO BE A BATTERY REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT SPACEWALK. HOWEVER, DURING THE FIRST THREE SPACEWALKS THE ASTRONAUTS MOVED SO FAST THAT THEY COMPLETED THEIR TASKS ON THE PREVIOUS SPACEWALK ON JULY 16. THERE IS STILL A LITHIUM ION BATTERY THAT NEEDS UPGRADING AFTER IT FAILED LAST YEAR. THE SPACE WALK TO REPLACE THAT BATTERY IS TENTATIVELY SCHEDULED FOR LATER THIS YEAR. IT LOOKS LIKE .5 IN THE CALIBER TO ME. SHOWING ABOUT 31 WHICH TECHNICALLY IS SUPPOSED TO BE LESS THAN .5. ABOUT FOUR INCHES OF MERCURY, WE MUST BE OKAY OR JUST LET IT CLICK ON A LITTLE MORE AND IT WILL TRY TO HATCH.

I SHOW LESS THAN 0.5 HERE UV HATCH OPEN AND SAVE. GOOD JOB. THE CREW IS CALLING PRESSURIZATION COMPLETE. PREPARING TO OPEN THE HATCH. LOCKING LEVERS STUCK. OPEN IT. IT IS OPEN. THE HATCH IS NOW OPEN. COME AND CLOSE. NOTIFY ME WHEN YOU HAVE IT SAVED. THE HATCH IS GUARDED. COPY THAT. WITH THAT, GO OUT AND ENJOY. IT'S AWESOME TO BE PART OF THAT. I'll deliver you to Houston. THANK YOU DOUG, CHRIS AND BOB. THEY ARE ALL YOURS. GOOD MORNING. HOW DO YOU LISTEN TO ME? WE WILL CONTINUE TO CONTINUE SO THEY BOTH CAN CHANGE THEIR TWO BAT POWER SWITCHES.

PLEASE CHECK THAT THE SCROLL SWITCHES WORK. UV1 SHOWN. SWITCH TWOFUNCTIONAL. COPY. SCREEN SWITCH -- SCREEN IS BLANK. WE UNDERSTAND. COPY, WE ARE LOOKING AT IT, MAYBE WE WILL DO A RESET. SUPPORT. CHRIS CASSIDY HAS DIFFICULTY WITH THE SCREEN OF HIS SPACE SUIT. GROUND TEAM TROUBLESHOOTING TO HELP US MOVE FORWARD WITH TODAY'S SPACE WALK. WELL, CHRIS, IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH PART ONE VET AND BOB, I SUGGEST YOU SHUT DOWN WHILE WE DO THIS. CHRIS, YOU CAN MEET US ON PAGE 28. YOU GUIDE ME THROUGH IT. COPY. ON THAT RESET, I WILL GUIDE YOU THROUGH THE STEPS, STARTING AT 4.3 AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE.

IF YOU UNEXPECTEDLY LOSE YOUR CALM DURING THIS, YOU CAN USE THE CUP CHECKLIST TO COMPLETE IT. I COPY YOU'RE THERE ON PAGE 28. OKAY, WE'RE IN BAT. BOB, WE THINK WE SEE THE THERMAL COVER APPROACHING. WE LIKE IT CLOSED AND THEN, FOR CHRIS, WE CAN CHANGE YOUR ENERGY. I'M WORKING ON IT. COPY BOB. NO PROBLEM. MAINLY BLOCKS OUTLET AIR. HOW CRITICAL IS THAT? 15 SECONDS TO DELIVERY. LET'S WAIT FOR THE DELIVERY CHRIS. BOB, IF IT DIDN'T PASS, WE'RE OKAY WITH THE THERMAL COVER, LEAVE IT. FAST DELIVERY AT HOUSTON MISSION CONTROL CONTINUES TO SOLVE CHRIS CASSIDY SCREEN PROBLEMS. THE VOICE HEARD NOW TALKING TO THE ASTRONAUT IS EARTH IV.

JOSHUA, IT'S THERE IN THE BLANK IN THE CENTER. THAT'S OKAY TOO. I LIKE THE IDEA OF PGT ONLY GOING IN THIS BAG. THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, RIGHT? YES. WE COPY PGT IN THE BAG. CHRIS, JUST TO MAKE SURE, AFTER LEAVING THE PGT, WE WILL SHOW YOU PICK UP THE CREW LOCK BAG FROM THE IEA AND APFR AND TAKE IT BACK TO THE AIR SLAVE. I AGREE. SEVERAL PHOTOS HERE, JUST TRYING TO MANAGE THE LIGHT. TRYING TO GIVE YOU SOMETHING. THERE MUST BE A LOT OF PHOTOS. COPY. JOSH, I'M GIVING UP A PGT AND HIS R.E.T.

I ALSO GAVE UP MY ADJUSTABLE H ATTACHMENT. WE COPY. IN TERMS OF THE TEAM, CHRIS, THE REST FOR YOU IS THE FACTOR. WE BELIEVE YOU HAVE GOPRO WITH YOU. WE WANT TO TAKE IT WITH YOU WHEN YOU PASS IT. I HAVE THE MUTT AND THE ATTACHMENT AND AN ADJUSTABLE ONE ON MY BODY. THE LEVER IS ALSO IN THE BAG. COPY, LEVER IN THE BAG. YOU CAN CLOSE ONE THING, THAT SOUNDS GOOD. A CLOSED THING. SO, FOR BOB, IN TERMS OF THE BAG YOU'RE PACKING, WE'LL LOOK AT THE INVENTORY WHEN CONVENIENT. COPY. WITH THE H DEVICE REMOVED, BOB BEHNKEN WILL NOW TAKE PHOTOS OF THE GSC PAD OR THE WORK SITE WHERE HE JUST REMOVED THE DEVICE.

I RECOVERED THE H ATTACHMENT AND THE ASSOCIATED ADJUSTABLE. I'LL COME DOWN AGAIN. COPY. BOB, YOUR GOPRO IS RIGHT NEXT TO THE BAG. THANK YOU. COPY, GOPRO OFF. MY GOPRO AND ADJUSTABLE THAT WAS THE ENTIRE GOPRO MOUNT. I HAVE STOPPED ADJUSTABLE AND BECAUSE OF MY PGT. CHRIS, WE COPY EVERYTHING. WE ARE WITH YOU. APFR AIR LOCK BAG PACK. COPY, CHRIS. WE COPY. FOR CHRIS AND BOB, THERE IS THE TWO HOUR MARK. WE ARE APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES AHEAD ON THE SCHEDULE, 7:05 P.T. WOW! TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT NUMBER FRIEND. WITH THAT SCHEDULE DISCUSSION, CHRIS, IF YOU AGREE, YOU HAVE TIME HERE TO GO OUT TO THE APFR EXCHANGE.

I AGREE. I'M GOING OUT UNLESS YOU NEED SOMETHING. I'M PUTTING TOOLS IN THE BAG AND TAKING AN INVENTORY THAT YOU STILL CAN'T DO. WE ARE CURRENTLY 2 HOURS AWAY -- WE NEED HAP GAUNTLET. YOUR DISCRETION AFTER INVENTORY. MY PAH IS STILL DRY. MY GLOVES ARE BOTH. MY RIGHT GLOVE STILL IN GOOD CONDITION. COPY, BOB. HE LOOKED AT THE STRUCTURE, THERE'S A BIG BRIGHT RED AFTERNOON. I WAS THINKING WHAT THE HELL IS THAT. IT IS real-time strategy. AFFIRMATIVE. ITS ON. WE ARE CURRENTLY 2 HOURS AND 1 MINUTE FROM THE SPACE WALK. THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION IS CURRENTLY TUNE 260 STATUE MILES OVER THE NORTHERN PACIFIC OCEAN.

WE HEAR BOB BEHNKEN GIVE A GLOVE AND HAP CHECK TO MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO SCRATCHES OR STAINS ON HIS GLOVE. I'll give it back to my colleague. IT IS AN ADJUSTABLE THAT I PREVIOUSLY RETRYED. COPY, BOB. THANK YOU, WE ARE CLOSER. WE JUST PASSED THE 2 HOUR MARK ON THE SPACE WALK TODAY. THE ASTRONAUTS PUT THEIR SUITS ON THE INTERNAL BATTERY THIS MORNING AT 6:12 A.M. CENTER, 7:12 A.M. ORIENTAL. IT HAS BEEN A SUCCESSFUL SPACE WALK SO FAR AND CURRENTLY, OUR SPACE WALKERS, CHRIS CASSIDY AND BOB BEHNKEN ARE APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES AHEAD OF THE TIMELINE. HIS FIRST TASK OUT OF THE GATE WAS INSTALLING THE RTS.

THAT IS THE ROBOTIC TOOL STORAGE, OFF-STATION PROTECTION UNIT, WHICH OFFERS THERMAL AND PHYSICAL PROTECTION TO THE TOOLS. THEY ROUTED THE ASSOCIATED WIRES FOR THE RTS AND IT IS NOW POWER ON AND WORKING WELL. THE ASTRONAUTS THEN WORKED TO REMOVE DEVICE 1AH. THE H FITTINGS WERE NEEDED TO BE REMOVED FOR FUTURE POWER SYSTEM UPGRADES AND WERE ORIGINALLY CONNECTED FOR GROUND PROJECTION OF THE SOLAR ARRAYS PRIOR TO LAUNCH. AFTER A LITTLE DIFFICULTY ON THE JULY 1 SPACEWALK REMOVING THESE H ACCESSORIES, TODAY WE HAD SUCCESS WITH THE ASTRONAUTS USING A WRENCH AND SOME TWEEZERS TO REMOVE THOSE H ACCESSORIES. BOTH THE H DEVICE 1A AND THE H DEVICE 3B HAVE BEEN REMOVED .

IN THE MIDDLE OF THOSE TASKS, BOB BEHNKEN DID CLEANUP. THE WORK SITE FOR THE PREVIOUS THREE SPACEWALKS. COPY CHRIS. ASTRONAUTS ARE CLEARING THE CURRENT WORKSITE OF THE H DEVICES. YOU CAN SEE 1 H DEVICE FLOATING IN FRONT OF BOB BEHNKEN'S HELMET CAMERA. AFTER THIS CLEANING, THEY WILL RETURN TO THE AIR SLAVE WHERE THEY WILL PERFORM A SAFETY BELT RESET IN PREPARATION FOR THEIR NEXT TASK. THAT NEXT TASK WILL BE PREPARING NODE 3, TRANQUILITY MODULE FOR THE AIR SLAVE. THAT WILL BE THE FIRST COMMERCIAL AIR LOCK ON THE SPACE STATION AND SHOULD LAUNCH ON A SPACEX ROCKET LATER THIS FALL.

AFTER THE PREPARATION OF THAT WORKSITE, THE DUO WILL BEGIN THE ROUTING OF THE CABLES. NEXT CABLE ROUTING TODAY'S SPACE WALK WILL BE COMPLETE. IN THE BAG THEY HAVE A PGT NUMBER TWO WITH R.E.T. THAT R.E.T. IT COMES FROM MY SWINGING ARM. IT HAS A STRAP ADJUSTABLE TO AN ACCESSORY H. I HAVE A SECOND STRAP ADJUSTABLE TO AN ACCESSORY H. I HAVE A R.E.T. WITH AN ADJUSTABLE COMBO WRENCH. ANOTHER ADJUSTABLE WITH THE TWO PLIERS. ALSO A R.E.T. GARBAGE BAG AND A R.E.T. TO AN ADJUSTABLE IN CHRIS' PGT.

A R.E.T. ADDITIONAL, A HAMMER AND ASSOCIATED BLADE. BOTH PGT'S HAVE BATTERIES AND SWING PLUGS. COPY, BOB. BOB, JUST TO MAKE SURE, TWO PLIERS ON THE ADJUSTABLE IS THAT OF A R.E.T. DOES IT ALSO GO IN THE BAG? THAT WILL BE ADJUSTABLE. ADJUSTABLE WITH THE COMBO WRENCH. COPY. ALSO A SINGLE R.E.T AVAILABLE INSIDE THE BAG. JUST BOUND WITHOUT NOTHING ON IT. COPY. BOB, THE BAG HAS A GOOD INTERNAL CONFIGURATION. YOU CAN PACK IT. IF YOU WATCH ONLINE WITH US TODAY, YOU CAN JOIN THE CONVERSATION USING #ASKNASA. SEND YOUR QUESTIONS. THIS IS FROM KATE, WHO ASKS ON AVERAGE WHILE GOING ON EVAS OR SPACEWALK HOW MANY HOURS OF WORK ASTRONAUTS HAVE IN THEIR SUIT.

THE SPACE WALK CAN LAST FROM 6 TO 8.5 HOURS BECAUSE EACH SPACE WALK HAS TWO OXYGEN TANKS. HOWEVER, THE AMOUNT OF TIME AN ASTRONAUT HAS USING THAT OXYGEN VARIES DEPENDING ON THEIR OXYGEN CONSUMPTION AND THE CARBON DIOXIDE PRODUCED BY THE CREW MEMBER, THAT CARBON DIOXIDE REMOVAL SYSTEM ALLOWS FOR THAT LONGER SPACE WALK. SINCE SOME ASTRONAUTS CONSUME MORE OXYGEN THAN OTHERS, THEY SPEND MORE TIME OUTSIDE THE HATCH. AFFIRMATIVE. THE GOAL IS WITH THER AND TO GET IN 8 WITH 5. BOB, WE TRY TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE ADJUSTABLES. CAN YOU CONFIRM HOW MANY? I HAVE ONE ON MY WRIST AND ANOTHER ON MY MINI WORK STATION.

COPY. TWO BLACK LINING IN THE LOCKING FUNCTION. ON WAITING. YOU HAVE THE SECOND, YOU KNOW? THE SECOND ONE WAS ONLY USED FOR THE SECOND DEVICE H. COPY. JUST DOING A LAST MINUTE CHECK. THE GROUND CREW WORKING WITH THE ASTRONAUTS TO CONDUCT TOOL CHECKS AND BEFORE HEADING TO THEIR NEXT TASK. CHRIS, WHEN YOU CAN, WE WANT TO ASK HOW MANY ADJUSTABLES YOU HAVE IN TOTAL AND LET'S MOVE ON. AFFIRMATIVE ABOUT THE BRT MINI WORK STATION. COPY. IT IS LOCKED. COPY, CHRIS. GOOD SETUP. LY MOVE TO CHECK 88 AND COME BACK. COPY, BOB. IT TURNS OUT THE CREW WRITTEN IT ON THEIR WBS.

IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO RETURN TO IT AND WE ARE OK FOR YOU TO START TRANSLATING. WE ARE STILL WORKING ON IT. THERE MAY BE ONE MORE AT THE EXIT OF THE BAG. TO BE CLEAR, WE'RE MOVING AND WE'LL FIND IT LATER. COPY THAT. GREAT PICTURE HERE, BOB, YOU WILL TAKE THE BAG OU AND APFR. CHRIS, YOU'LL TAKE THE APFR BACK TO THE AIR SLAVE AND THEN ONCE IT'S ALL DONE, WE'LL HAVE TO WORK THE BELT. IT IS CLOSED AND LOCKED. COPY, BOB. GOOD SETUP. LIKE ASTRONAUTS. FOR THE NEXT TASK WHICH IS RETURN TO RESETTING THE AIR SLAVE SAFETY BELT, WE HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION TO ASK NASA.

T.J. ASK WHAT TEMPERATURE THE SUITS HAVE. OPPOSITE THE FARTHEST POINT OF DARKNESS. IT IS CURRENTLY DARK OUTSIDE THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION BECAUSE WE ARE IN AN ORBITAL NIGHT WHICH THE STATION ORBITS 262 MILES ABOVE THE SOUTH PACIFIC OCEAN. MAY BE NEGATIVE 250 DEGREES OUT. WHEN IN SUNLIGHT IT CAN BE POSITIVE 250 DEGREES OUTSIDE. ASTRONAUTS HAVE A SPECIAL COOLING GARMENT UNDER THEIR SUITS. THEY CAN CONSTANTLY CONTROL THE TEMPERATURE TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE COOL OR WARM WHEN IN OR OUT OF SUNLIGHT. THE BLACK BLOCK LINES OR LINES IN THE WIDTH EXTENDER. THE EXTENDER IS CONFIRMED AND I BELIEVE IT IS INSTALLED.

COPY, CHRIS. WE AGREE. GOOD INSTALLATION. CHRIS, JUST BEFORE YOU LEFT, CAME UP FOR US. WE SEE OPEN THERMAL COVER AND STORE IN THE BAG. TERT IS CLOSED AND LOCKED. COPY. IT IS CLOSED AND LOCKED. WE COPY. GOOD SETUP. I HAVE THE OU BAG INCLUDED IN THE APFR. THE APFR IS TIED TO MY BRT. I'M GOING TO RELEASE THE APFR. WE COPY. I'M GOING TO TAKE THE ADJUSTABLE FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THIS CREW LOCK BAG AND FILL IT BY BRT. COPY THAT. BOB WE SHOW YOU DIRECTED TO APFR TO INSTALL THAT TO GET IT INSTALLED WITH FIVE.

WE DO NOT HAVE ANY PARTICULAR CONFIGURATION. WE WANT A LOW PROFILE. WE LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING THOSE ADJUSTMENTS FROM YOU. THEN FOR CHRIS, ONCE IT'S COMPLETE WITH THE BAG AND THE STRAP IS MOVED, WE'LL GO BACK TO THE AIR SCROLL AND FOLLOW SOME OF THE INSPECTION STEPS. I WILL NOTIFY YOU WHEN IT IS READY. FROM NASA ASTRONAUT BOB BEHNKEN'S HELMET CAMERA, HE IS HOLDING THE APFR. THAT'S THE PORTABLE ARTICULATED FOOT STAND. THAT GIVES ASTRONAUTS A PLACE TO SECURE THEIR FOOT AND WORK WHENEVER THEY ARE IN A DIFFERENT WORK SITE. IT'S GOING TO MOVE THAT TO A DIFFERENT INTERFACE FROM THE WORKSITE NEAR CEDAR CART.

IT MEANS HELP IN THE TRANSLATION OF EQUIPMENT. I'M GOING BACK ON BOARD. YOU ARE SEEING A VIEW OF THE BOARDROOM OF THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION. YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED THAT CREW MEMBERS WEAR GOPROS DURING THE SPACEWALK. THIS QUESTION FROM BURTON ASKS WHAT THEY ARE USED FOR. GOPROS ARE USED TO CAPTURE VIDEO OF THE WORK SITE BEFORE AND AFTER COMPLETING THE ASTRONAUT TASKS. IT IS SENT TO THE GROUND FOR FURTHER EVALUATION. GOPROS CAPTURE STUNNING VIDEOS OF EARTH SHARED BY NASA ASTRONAUT CHRIS CASSIDY ON FACEBOOK AND TWITTER. FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING. COPY, CHRIS. CHRIS, SINCE YOU'RE DOING IT THERE, WE LOOK AT ALL THE PHOTOS YOU CAN TAKE AND THE FIRST BULLET THE CREW HERE WAS INTERESTED IN LOOKING AT JUST TO MAKE SURE THE GROUND STRAP WAS NOT TIGHT BEHIND THE CONTAINER.

AFFIRMATIVE. GROUND STRAP IS NOT TIGHTEN. COPY THAT. THE SECOND QUESTION WAS TO SEEK YOUR THOUGHTS ON HOW IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE TO TIE THE PIN IN PLACE SO THAT IT COULD NOT COME OUT. THE OPTIONS WERE TO SECURE THE PIN ITSELF OR SECURE TO INSTALL THE TIE DOWN EITHER ONE OF THOSE WITH THE WIRE TIE. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU THINK THAT WOULD WORK. I'M TRYING TO MAKE SURE I GET THE IMAGE RIGHT. I'M CLEAR TO CONTINUE TO THE CART. AFFIRMATIVE. DO YOU WANT ME TO STOP AT THIS ANCHOR ONE? CASSIDY IS DONE IN A PUSH AND PULL PIN.

BEHNKEN IS ON THE WAY TO THE CEDAR CAR TO INSTALL AN APFR. THAT IS A PORTABLE ARTICULATED FOOT STAND. ONCE COMPLETE, YOU WILL JOIN CASSIDY ON THE AIR SCHOOL AND THE TWO WILL PERFORM A BELT RESET BEFORE MOVING ON TO THEIR NEXT TASK OF PREPARING THE TRANQUILITY MODULE FOR FUTURE INSTALLATION OF THE NANO RACKS AIR SCHOOL. CHRIS, WE SEE YOU TAKING MANY PHOTOS. COPY. DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER SIDE. REJECT THAT. ED AS BOB BEHNKEN PREPARES TO INSTALL THIS PORTABLE ARTICULATED FOOTREST, YOU MAY BE ABLE TO SEE TWO SMALL MIRRORS ON HIS WRIST. Then he wonders what that mirror is.

THE MAIN REASON THE CREW WEARS THESE MIRRORS ON THEIR WRIST IS SO THEY CAN SEE THE FRONT OF THEIR SPACE SUIT BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF SIGHT. THE LABEL ON THE FRONT OF THE SPACE SUIT IS WRITTEN IN MIRROR IMAGE BECAUSE IT MUST BE READ THROUGH MIRRORS. THIS HELPS ASTRONAUTS BE ABLE TO SEE THE SWITCHES AND LABELS ON THE FRONT OF THE SUIT, INCLUDING THE VOLUME, SCREEN CONTRAST AND EVEN THEIR COOLING SETTINGS. COPY, BOB. COPY 7. INSTRUCTIONS DO NOT PUT IT IN THE BAG. IT'S PUSHED. THEY ARE NOT MOVING ANYTHING AND ARE NOT REALLY GETTING ANY CONCRETE DATA.

I'M NOT ADVOCATING FOR MOVING IT. CAN YOU POINT OUT THE TOPIC YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT WITH LINE WBS. COPY, THANK YOU. IT IS USEFUL. ONE MORE QUESTION FOR YOU AND THAT'S JUST YOUR THOUGHT AS YOU LOOK AT THAT PIT PIN REPLACEMENT. IF WE REPLACE THE FISO PIN,DO YOU HAVE ACCESS TO THE HEAD OF THE BOLT? BOB CONFIRMS THAT THE STEP KNOB IS BACK. THE PITCH KNOB WAS REMOVED. WE SEE THE ACTION OF YOUR FINGER ON THE PIT PIN, CHRIS. WHAT ELSE CAN I DO FOR YOU HERE? WE ARE ASKING ABOUT THE ROOM. IT LOOKS LIKE THAT'S ALL FOR THE QUESTIONS WE HAVE NOW.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. THAT'S GOOD. IT'S VIRTUALLY THE SAME TIME BETWEEN BOB AND CHRIS. The only thing left to do is reset the anchor. BOB, LET US KNOW WHEN YOU'RE THERE. WITH BOB BEHNKEN APFR INSTALLED, HE NOW RETURNES TO THE AIR SLAVE TO JOIN CHRIS CASSIDY WHO HAS VIEW OF THE HELMET CAMERA TO RESET THE STRAP. WE ARE 2 HOURS 36 MINUTES FROM TODAY'S SPACE WALK. COPY. SO, CHRIS, WHEN YOU'RE READY, YOU CAN TRY BOB TO RELEASE YOUR ANCHOR HOOK. ATTACH TO YOUR ANCHOR HOOK. COPY. GOOD. READY. I'M READY, BOB. ON TO THE NEXT BOB, YOU WILL RELEASE CHRIS'S ANCHOR AND GO TO YOUR RED SPOOL WHERE THE GREEN HOOK IS ATTACHED.

JUST TO LET EVERYONE BE AWARE, I WILL ATTACH IT TO THE H STRAP WITH THE WAIST STRAP. THERE IS NO PLACE FOR ANOTHER HOOK. BOB, WE'RE OKAY WITH THAT. CHRIS'S ANCHOR IS CLOSED AND LOCKED TO MY RIGHT WAIST, WHICH IS ALSO CLOSED AND LOCKED. WE COPY. IT'S A GOOD SETUP. YOU CAN RECOVER YOUR 3060 ANCHOR HOOK STORED AT YOUR MAIN WORKSTATION. COPY. MY COVER IS CLOSED. COPY, CLOSED. LET'S GET MY ANCHOR HOOK. COPY, BOB. YOU ARE GOOD AT TRANSLATING TO THE AIR SLAVE. REMINDER IN BOTH PARACASSIDY CARS, ITS TOTAL REACHES 54:51. TODAY'S SPACEWALK LASTED 5:29, AND THE WHOLE SPACEWALK TIME THROUGH THOSE 231 IN SUPPORT OF THE ASSEMBLY AND MAINTENANCE OF THE STATION.

THAT EQUALS 60 DAYS, 12 HOURS AND THREE MINUTES OF SPACE WALKING. ALSO NOTABLE FOR CHRIS CASSIDY, HE IS NOW NINTH ON THE ALL-TIME SPACE WALK LIST, WHILE BEHNKEN IS NOW FOURTH ON THE ALL-TIME SPACE WALK LIST. NOW BOTH, WITH TEN SPACE WALKS, TIE MICHAEL ALLEGRA AND PEGGY IN SUPPORT OF THEIR CAREER. DEPRESSURIZATION CONTINUES INSIDE THE QUEST AIR SLAVE, WITH THIS LOOK INSIDE THE MISSION CONTROL ROOM. That's flight director Allison Bollinger in the black jacket. She LEAD THE TEAMS ALONG THE SPACEWALK TODAY. NASA ASTRONAUT DOUG HURLEY OPENING THE HATCH BETWEEN THE CREW AND THE LOCKING PART OF THE QUEST AIR SLOVE EQUIPMENT.

GOOD. UNDERSTOOD. HOUSTON, IF YOU CAN TAKE CARE OF STEP FOUR. STEP FOUR IS AT WORK. AND AIRLOCK STEP FOUR IS COMPLETE, SO AT THIS POINT, THE E.V. THE CREW IS NO LONGER HOT MICROWAVED TO THE GROUND. YOU STILL HAVE THE GROUND, AND YOU'RE GOING TO CONTINUE. THAT'S THE VOICE OF NASA ASTRONAUT ANN MacLEAN NOW THAT THEY'RE INSIDE THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION, AND AS THEY BRING CASSIDY AND BEHNKEN BACK AND HELP THEM TAKE OFF THEIR SUITS, ANOTHER LOOK AT THE SPACEWALK. THE SPACE WALK BEGAN AT 6:12 A.M. CENTRAL TIME, 7:12 A.M. ORIENTAL. THE SPACE WALK BEGAN WITH THE INSTALLATION OF THE R.T.S.

AFTER INSTALLING R.T.S. AND ROUTING SOME ASSOCIATED WIRES, CASSIDY MOVED ON TO REMOVE DEVICE 1-A-H. THE INPUTS H-PUCKS WERE USED FOR PROCESSING OF GROUND SOLAR ARRAYS. THE FIRST ATTEMPT TO REMOVE VEEZ WAS ON THE JULY 1 SPACEWALK. WITHOUT LUCK THAT DAY, THE ASTRONAUTS RETURNED TODAY AND WERE ABLE TO MAKE THOSE ACCESSORIES MORE EASILY. THEY REMOVED THE 3-B-H ATTACHMENT, ANOTHER REMOVABLE SYSTEM FOR POWER SYSTEM UPGRADES. ONCE COMPLETE, THEY RETURNED TO THE AIR CLOVE FOR A SECURITY RELOCK OF THE BELT, WHICH PREPARED THEM FOR THE NEXT TASK, PREPARING TO INSTALL THE NANOLOCKS. THEY PREPARED THE SPACE FOR THE FUTURE AIR SLAVE TO BE INSTALLED ONCE IT ARRIVES LATER THIS YEAR.

AFTER COMPLETING THE WORK IN THE NODE THREE AREA, THOSE ASTRONAUTS TURNED ON TO ROUTING SOME CABLES. CHRIS CASSIDY ROUTED THE CP-3 ETHERNET CABLE, WHILE BOB BEHNKEN FOCUSED ON THE CP-13 ETHERNET CABLES, AND ONCE COMPLETED, BEHNKEN REMOVED A CAMERA LENS FROM THE CP-13 AREA. THESE TWO ASTRONAUTS QUICKLY WORKED THROUGH THE PROCEDURES ON THE FIRST THREE SPACEWALKS OF THESE SERIES, THEREFORE LEAVING THE OPPORTUNITY FOR TODAY'S TASKS TO BE COMPLETED. ALL IN ALL, THAT'S A 5:29 SPACE WALK AND A GREAT USE OF CHRIS CASSIDY. AND WITH CHRIS CASSIDY BACK ON THE TEAM BLOCKING PORTION OF QUEST'S AIR SLOVE, WE NOW SEE THAT BOB BEHNKEN HAS ALSO BEEN BROUGHT IN.

ANATOLY IVANISHIN TO REMOVE THE E.V.A. FOR SIMPLIFIED RESCUE, THE JET PACK THAT WE REVIEWED. FORTUNELY IT WAS NOT USED TODAY AS IT WOULD ONLY BE USED FOR ONE MEMBER ON THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION IF IT WAS SEPARATED FROM A STRAP. THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION IS CURRENTLY FLYING 269 MILES OVER CHILE, AND A HUGE ACHIEVEMENT FOR BOTH SPACEWALKERS. AS ASTRONAUTS PREPARE TO MOVE THEIR SUITS, ANOTHER LOOK AT THE STATISTICS OF TODAY'S SPACEWALK AND THE 231ST SPACESTATION ASSEMBLY AND MAINTENANCE SPACEWALK, THE 7TH SPACEWALK THIS WEAR AND THE FOURTH TOTAL OF 23 HOURS AND 37 MINUTES. AND IT WAS CHRIS CASSIDY'S TENTH SPACE WALK AND NOW A TOTAL OF 54 HOURS OF SPACE WALKING AND HE'S ON THE ALL TIME SPACE WALK LIST.

Every time a NASA plane takes off from Earth, an entire team of people ensures it executes its mission safely and successfully.

The pilot and mission controller are at the end of a complex data stream along which dozens of IT specialists, engineers and technicians work to ensure that every decision during the flight is informed by accurate information. And that all scientific or testing data is collected and processed successfully. At the Armstrong Flight Research Center, this team makes up the mission information and test
