>> Greetings from Mission Control Houston and welcome
to Space Station Live and joining us here inside
of the International Space Station Flight Control Room
located at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas,
looking down at the Orbit 2 team
as the man the consoles throughout this control room
monitoring all the systems on board the orbit and laboratory.
Today's team is being led today by Flight Director Richard Jones
and joining him there at the [inaudible] position serving
as the communication link between all of our teams
down here on the ground and the astronauts
up in space is David St. Jacque [phonetic] and those astronauts
up in space right now the international crew of 6 members
from nations across globe with Exploration 36.
They are being led by Russian Cosmonaut Pavel Vinogradov.
Joining him two fellow Russians, Alexander Misurkin
and Fyodor Yurchikhin.
We also have 2 NASA astronauts onboard, Chris Cassidy
and Karen Nyberg, both on their second space flights.
Rounding out the crew from the European Space Agency Italian
Luca Parmitano.
The crew starting up their work week this week will start off
with Commander Pavel Vinogradov,
who is moving throughout the Russian segment today taking
some photographs of the air duct work throughout the Russian
ventilation system and downlinking those to the ground.
He'll also be the first of the 3 Russian cosmonauts
to do a physical fitness evaluation.
All three will be doing that during their day today.
Meanwhile onboard Alexander Misurkin is on the hook
to take some photos
for an ongoing Russian earth observation experiment using the
station as a vantage point to photograph
and document numerous climate changes,
hot spots throughout the globe.
He'll also be inside
of the Progress 50P vehicle transferring some of the cargo
from that over into the station.
You can see the current makeup
of the International Space Station right now.
Two crew craft, the Soyuz 34 and 35 currently docked and also
to unman cargo crafts the Progress 50,
which Misurkin will be inside of today,
and also the European ATV4 they are docked all the way
at the end of the F section of the International Space Station.
NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy is doing quite a bit of prep work
for an upcoming spacewalk that he'll be taking part in.
Cassidy designated EV1 and Luca Parmitano designated EV2 will be
conducting 2 space walks over the next two weeks.
The first of which on July 9 noted EVA22 and then on July 16,
just one week later, EVA23.
Both of those are scheduled to start
at about 7:10AM Central Time.
The two astronauts will be heading outside.
Again, you can see those will begin at 7:10AM Central Time,
8:10 Eastern Time, and we'll be bringing you live coverage here
on NASA TV.
The astronauts will be heading outside to replace a space
to ground communications' receiver
and also some wireless video equipment along
with routing a few cables and power hooks
for an upcoming Russian multi-purpose laboratory module.
So Cassidy today doing some onboard training for the safer
or the simplified aid for EVA rescue.
Sort of the emergency jet pack
that these astronauts have attacked
to their space suits during space walks
and also doing the enhanced caution
and warning system onboard training.
Aside from that he'll be installing some hardware
from that air lock that will be needed
for the upcoming space walk and preparing the quest air lock
to support all those EVA operations.
Fyodor Yurchikhin over in the Russian segment doing some
maintenance on some storage batteries.
He's also doing some post spacewalk reconfigurations
on the [inaudible] module
and also the Docking Compartment 1 known as Pirs
where the Russian EVA 33 took place out of, back on Monday,
June 24, and that was a six and a half hour spacewalk
from Yurchikhin and Misurkin,
who were outside installing a number of cable clamps,
hand rails and testing some rendezvous equipment also
for that upcoming Russian laboratory module scheduled
to launch a little bit later this year.
Meanwhile, Luca Parmitano changing out the recycle tank
and the brine filter inside
of the regenerative environmental control
and life support system.
He'll also be working on that onboard training doing a safer
and the ECWS or the Enhanced Caution
and Warning System training as he continues to prepare
for that spacewalk coming up next week.
Aside from that he was also working with the MELFI
or the Minus 80 Degree Laboratory Freezer a little bit
later today inserting a few ice bricks.
Then our final Exhibition 36 NASA astronaut Karen Nyberg is
working to set up the nano regs payloads.
She's doing a few hardware installation items
and also activating a camera setup.
Aside from that she'll be cutting
and replacing a few cables located inside
of the small pay load rack.
