>> Good day, and welcome to Space Station Live
for Tuesday, November 26, 2013.
You're looking live inside the International Space Station
flight control room here at the Johnson Space Center in Houston
where at this hour the Orbit 2 team
of flight controllers is on duty.
They're in their third hour
of operations basically overseeing the work
of the Expedition 38 crew aboard the International Space Station
and the final half of the crew's workday.
On console at this hour leading the Orbit 2 team
on the right side of your screen is flight director Mike Lammers.
He is joined on console today to his right
in the white shirt spacecraft communicator Josh Matthew
who is talking directly
to the six crew members onboard the International Space Station
as they conduct their day's work.
This day has been a variety of research
and maintenance activities onboard the International
Space Station.
And with a resupply ship launched
by the Russians yesterday from the Baikonur Cosmodrome
in Kazakhstan, well on its way to rendevous
with the International Space Station it shapes
up as a busy holiday week
for the six crew members on the complex.
That crew from left to right Mikhail Tyurin, Koichi Wakata,
Rick Mastracchio, Sergey Ryazanskiy,
the Expedition 38 commander Oleg Kotov,
and NASA flight engineer Michael Hopkins.
All six of those crew members onboard.
The three crew members on the left of your screen, Tyurin,
Wakata and Mastracchio arrived
on the International Space Station back on November 7th.
They are in their 20th day, just about to wrap
up their third week onboard the international outpost having
launched on the Soyuz TMA-11M spacecraft from Baikonur.
The other three crew members onboard the International Space
Station, Kotov, Ryazanskiy and Hopkins are in their 62nd day
in space since they launched
in their Soyuz TMA-10M spacecraft docking
to the International Space Station back on September 26th.
They will return to Earth in March.
The other three, Wakata, Mastracchio and Tyurin
and be aboard the International Space Station
until mid May of next year.
