16:40 ----> 20:40
We will take care of
cargoes coming and leaving,
some of us might go on spacewalks
we’ll do robotics work
and interestingly enough
we’ll be up there at the beginning
of a major reconfiguration work
that will take several expeditions
and that will set up the space station
to be able to run
even more robust operations
for several years to come
IS THAT RECONFIGURATION INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL?
There’s some internal reconfiguration going on
but the main goal is
to move around a few modules
so that especially the logistics support
so the arrival and departure of cargoes
is gonna be more flexible
we will be able to host
multiple cargo vehicles
at the same time
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO THE MOST ABOUT
SEEING WHEN YOU GET THERE?
Ah, lots of people would say…
you know, I think I’d run to the cupola
and watch the earth
and yes, I’m very much looking forward
to do that, but to be honest
after so many years of training
and the space station being
so much part of my daily life
I am just looking forward to
seeing the actual space station,
you know, to see it, you know,
when you approach it
to see it coming up
as a light dot and becoming
bigger and bigger
and then you start seeing the features
and then, you know, I can see it
on the camera, or peeking on
the periscope of my commander
in the Soyuz, I can see
the actual image, you know,
and (it) becomes greater and greater,
and make up the details
and you’ll see the solar panels
the stack, your actual docking port
and then actually getting inside
and I just look forward to go ahead
and discover all the details
of this incredible outpost of
humanity in space that
has been so much part of my life
I feel I know so much about it
and I’m really looking forward
to actually seeing it
with my own eyes.
AND YOU’RE GONNA BE
THE FIRST FEMALE EUROPEAN ASTRONAUT TO SERVE
AS A CREW MEMBER ONOBOARD THE STATION.
HOW SIGNIFICANT IS THAT FOR YOU, FOR YOU PERSONALLY
OR FOR THE FUTURE OF EUROPEAN WOMEN
IN SPACE EXPLORATION?
I think, as you rightly say,
there’s two aspects, right?
You know, there’s your personal
point of view and then
there’s the significance that this
can have for others.
And I do think I’m in the position
of serving as a role model
for young, you know, girls and young women
in Europe. Maybe they are thinking of
pursuing a career like this,
or just simply a career in
science or technology or
military flying, which are parts
of my background. So I think
that’s important; I think
I’m in a privileged position.
On the other hand,
from the personal point of view,
I think you have to keep
your feet very much grounded
and realise, you know,
you’re just a crewmember like
like everybody else.
There’s no special badge of honor
associated with being a female,
there’s nobody out there
to try and make your life
harder because you’re a female
so, you know,
you try to do your job
as weel as you can,
like everybody else.
YOU’RE GOING TO ARRIVE AT THE STATION
JUST A FEW WEEKS AFTER ALEXANDER GERST
COMES HOME. THERE MUST BE SOME SIGNIFICANCE
TO THE FACT THAT ESA WILL HAVE AN ASTRONAUT
ONBOARD ESSENTIALLY FOR ONE CONTINUOUS YEAR
Yeah. And that’s a first.
And I think everybody in
the space business in Europe
is very excited about it and
I really hope that we get,
we’re able to get the public
excited about this as well.
I hope in a way that the public,
just Europeans, gets used to
have fellow Europeans in space.
And, you know, they get this feeling,
that…here is…you know
Europe has been a major player
in the space business for, you know,
for decades in many aspects.
You know, not only in human
space flights but also
and even more in other fields.
But astronauts attract attention
and curiosity, you know,
the fact that there’s
actually human beings going up there
that is just fascinating
everybody is ineterested
and excited about this.
So, you know, I hope that as I said
that people just get used to
the stuff that
there’s fellow Europeans in space
Ottimo, mi ci metto stasera!
consiglio www.draftin.com per la trascrizione.
Io ho problemi con una parola a 20:17 (not only in ??? space flights)
ed a 20:37 (I hope ??? that people just get used to…)
ogni input e’ benvenuto! 
24:40 —> 28:40
IN MARCH THE STATION PROGRAM IS GOING TO BE SENDING TWO CREW MEMBERS UP THERE FOR A FULL YEAR TO TRY TO LEARN MORE ABOUT IT. YOU ARE GOING TO BE ONBOARD, ONE OF THE PEOPLE ONBOARD TO GREET THEM WHEN THEY ARRIVE. TELL ME YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT THE YEAR LONG MISSION.
It’s exciting, I think, from research point of view, I think the research community is extremely happy to get this opportunity, to actually observe this changes due to the microgravity enviroment on the human body for longer term. And we might do this game, but the first ones are indeed Scott and Mischa, who will join us on the space station this upcoming March, and of course you also have the perspective of the crew, right? So you know that you have these two crewmates, these fellow crewmates, who are coming up and they are going to be onboard for one year, and as exciting as it is, we also, I think, all recognize that it’s not easy to be gone for an entire year, so I think that we as crew and crewmates, we recognize the importance of getting them started on the right foot and supporting them as much possible while we are on board we them.
IF THAT COMES UP LATER AGAIN WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE A YEAR LONG TRIP YOURSELF?
Yeah, I mean, I think I would, yeah, I mean it’s hard to say for sure, having not been up there at all even for six months, but it does seem pretty exciting and attractive as a perspective.
GIVE ME A COUPLE OF EXAMPLES, TWO OR THREE OF THE EXPERIMENTS IN THIS AREA THAT YOU’RE GOING TO BE WORKING ON AS WE TRY TO LEARN MORA ABOUT HOW THE WEIGHTLESS ENVIRONMENT IMPACTS HUMAN BEINGS.
Yeah, and those are actually the experiments as Astronauts we know the most about, because we are the subjects, and so we are trained a lot to perform those experiments. A few that come to mind, there is one, it’s called “Drain Brain”, which sounds a little bit scary, but (laugh) nobody is going to drain our brain. The point is to gather data, on the venous flow out of your brain. We are used to think about blood supply to your vein, to your brain, but it’s actually equally important that blood then, the venous flow, flows back to your heart. And it’s a pilot project, let’s say, that might be done to more subjects in the future, but for now the idea is to gather initial data, about how microgravity affects that, and also to develop a very simple non-invasive operator independent system for measuring this venous blood flow. And this affects of course a lot, it has immediate applications on the ground, for people who unfortunately insufficiency in their blood return and it would be very important to validate a technology that makes it easier to monitor their condition. Another one is about sleep. We’ve known for a while that astronauts’ sleep on the space station is not optimal. Most people tend to sleep not as well as they do on the ground. There’s a continuous micro-awakenings, throughout the night, much like people with sleep issues on the ground, and there is a theory that it might be related to modifications is the mechanics of heart. The heart is a pump, right? It has valves, and it pumps all the time. And microgravity might an effect on this very fine mechanics, of the heart, and this might be what’s causing, in this hypothesis, these micro-awakenings that disturb the sleep of astronauts. So I’m going to be wearing for several nights in a row, several times throughout the mission, a special shirt, that has a series of sensors on it, and also has a 3-axis accelerometer, that being in contact with my sternum and will observe the mechanics of my heart beating when I sleep.
Another one, a very interesting one, that we’re gonna start during our mission, it’s gonna be me and terry, the first two subjects, and then hopefully will continue in the future, it’s called Airway Monitoring.
(Questo che viene oltre mi e’ scappato, non guardavo il tempo :-). Regalo per Diego e consorte)
A rather complex experimental setup, so quite challenging. The first experiments that will take place in airlock, because we will have to do part of the protocol at a reduced pressure. So it’s gonna be me and Terry in the airlock and we will reduce the pressure to about 10 psi and do a series of measurements. And the point there is to measure the mechanics of the gas exchange in your lungs, and it has of course implications…
HUMAN space flight
I hope, AS I SAID, that people just get used to…
Grazie! modifico.
Wow, fantastico! Mi ha fatto risparmiare un sacco di tempo! 
Mi sono preso qulache secondo in più prima e dopo per completare le frasi di Samantha, ecco la mia parte
36: 37 → 40:56
If you had asked me a month ago I would’ve told you Terry and Butch will go outside in two spacewalks and I will be the IV, so the intravehicular support person who will help them run on the airlock ops and the suit up.
And, the plan is for them to deploy few very long cables that will support the station reconfiguration that is upcoming in 2015.
The plan however is very much changing every day and so we are all perfectly trained to go out on a spacewalk, and I think we are ready to perform anything that the Space Station Program will require from us.
THAT WILL BE EXCITING IF YOU GET TO GO OUTSIDE
I think so yeah, it would be very exciting to go outside. The training already has been very challenging and I think mainly because it was so challenging it was also very rewarding and interesting. And of course to be able to actually use that training and go outside would be extremely exciting.
YOU’RE GONNA BE ON ORBIT FOR THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE FIRST SPACEWWALK BY ALEKSEI LEONOV. TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT HOW IMPORTANT SPACEWALKING HAS BEEN TO OUR EFFORTS TO EXPLORE SPACE
Well, I mean, there wouldn’t be a space station if we hadn’t had spacewalking capability. I forgot how many hundreds of EVA (Extra Vehicular Activity) hours have been put in to actually put the space station together. And, extremely complex, I think, spacewalks, especially, you know, during the assembly phase where mainly Shuttle crews would perform spacewalks. They had a lot of pool time, underwater, specifically for that one spacewalk. So they were extremely efficient and capable of performing very complex, I like to call them, coreographies.
Nowadays of course we have shifted the attention more towards skills, because the plans change quite quickly, it’s quite umpredictable what a station crew will actually do. Sometimes the plans change after the crew has completed their training time here in Houston, sometimes they change while they are on orbit, sometimes there’s a need for a contingency. So we’ve shifted the focus from training very hard and thouroughful on one specific EVA content towards being extremely flexible and have basic skills that allow us to then perform any kind of EVA that might be required. Of course we are not gonna be as efficient as Shuttle crews used to be, when they were very specifically trained for an EVA, but that allows us to face any possible task.
THESE DAYS THE SPACE STATION IS GETTING SUPPLIES FROM A SMALL FLEET OF UNCREWED CARGO VEHICLES. TELL ME ABOUT THE DIFFERENT INTERNATIONAL VEHICLES THAT YOU EXPECT TO SEE DURING YOUR TIME UP THERE.
Oh we’ll see, we’ll see a lot. I think the only one that we will not see is the Japanese HTV. But other than that, when we get on board, there will be ATV docked, which is ATV-5 “George Lemaitre”, which is already onboard and docked. And ATV tends to stay quite long on the International Space Station because it also serves for reboost purposes; so the longer we keep it onboard the more we can save the other resources for reboost.
So it will be onboard and I will have the privilege of supporting the undocking and departure ops for what will actually be the last ATV. So we’re actually wrapping up the ATV program, and it will be interesting because the reentry of ATV this time will be very special. We are actually working towards gathering information for somehting which is still far ahead in the future, but it’s gonna be very challenging, which is: what do we do with the space station once we have finished operating it.
12:40–>16:40 (con qualche aggiunta a inizio e fine)
NOTA: Dove c’è ??? non riuscivo proprio a capire , per favore potreste aiutarmi?
parentesi con NdT sono note mie
(?)non sono molto sicuro, per favore potreste ricontrollarlo?
S: … many women can be quite important actually and that’s certainly a privilege position to be in.
Q: To have this job and to fly in space as you’re about to do means that you’re accepting some unique risks that most people don’t have but I assume that you think that’s worthwhile since you’re doing it. I wanna (want to NdT) know why. What is it that you think we’re learning from flying people in space that makes it worth taking that risk.
S: Firs of all I’d like to say, you know, you always weight the risk that you’re taking against how much you want something right? For example you know there’s a risk involved in driving on the highway and to go on holiday but you take that risk because you really want to get to that vacation place and so you think the risk is acceptable so I think for most astronauts and certainly for me the desire to be part of this is so strong and it’s so ingrained in who I am, is so part of my identity that I would probably just take any risk because it just doesn’t compare to that desire that you have to participate in this adventure. Overall of course if look at it from the outside and you wanna do a called cost-benefit analyses, you know, I’m one of those people who think that even without going down at the details of, you know, what’s the benefit of this, what’s the benefit of that, I think there is a sense of destiny in the soul/sole b idea of space exploration I’m intending b[/b] if you ask anybody: “Imagine humanity in 500 years, do you imagine humanity being still earthbound like we still are not able to go anywhere else?” I think we all intuitively, spontaneously imagine humanity as being able to travel in space. Travel to the Moon, travel to Mars, travel to asteroids. Live there, exploit resources, going on vacation, you know, whatever do all the things that human beings like to do once they have “conquered” let’s say a place. So, you know, to me is being part of the, you know, the first step towards that future that is so obviously part of what’s coming for humanity and really one other thing I’d like to say is that it’s very long termined, difficult as human beings we have a little life span of like 70 years whatever 70, 80, 100 but, you know, if you’re trying to expand to a bigger tank scale and think to humanities presence on Earth, it is dangerous to live on your own planet so, you know, one day when that big asteroid comes or whatever, you know, we’re gonna be happy that we have learnt starting today how to travel to other places.
Q: You and your crew mates are next in line to launch to the International Space Station. Tell me what are the goals of this flight and what you’re job is gonna be on this mission.
S: The International Space Station, this incredible permanent laboratory on Law Earth Orbit where we can do research in microgravity so the job of any crew that shows up on station is to continue this scientific research that happens on board so in part we will continue experiment that have been running for a while, sometimes we will wrap up a particular experiment and in some cases we will start a new experiment or several new experiments actually and that’s especially exiting of course but then we will also take care of the Space Station we will do maintenance work, we’ll do logistic work, we’ll take care of cargos coming and leaving, some of us might…
per dave
wanna: è corretto, termine colloquiale per “want to”, secondo me lo puoi lasciare senza indicare la forma corretta
…you always weight the risk that you’re taking against HOW MUCH YOU WANT something right?..
Ecco la mia parte.
…ATV tends to stay quite long on the International Space Station because it also serves for re-boost purposes: the longer we keep it on board, the more we can save the other resources for re-boost. So will be on board and we will have the privilege of supporting the un-docking and departure ops for what will actually be the last ATV, so we are actually wrapping up the ATV program. And it will be interesting because the re-entry of ATV this time will be very special: we are actually working towards gathering information for something which is still far ahead in the future but it’s gonna be very challenging, which is what do we do at the space station once we are finished operating into it. It has to re-enter and it has to re-enter safely and it is obviously the biggest object ever to re-enter the atmosphere and come back to earth. So, there is a need, you know the teams have recognized that there is a need to understand better the properties of the atmosphere in certain layers to be able to better predict how the station will react, how it will slow down, how it will break up, because of course we want to end up, you know, any pieces that do not fully burn-up, we want them to end up in this specific area in the the Pacific which is identified for the re-entries like that, and not of course to end up in random places. So to make absolutely and fully sure that we understand this fully, we are going to guide ATV through a shallow re-entry that should mimic what the re-entry of the space station will be at some point in the future. And we will have, I think, a hundred or more cameras set up to record this partly from the space station and partly from the ground stations and ship based stations on the oceans. And there will be some experiments inside ATV, that in part I will set up, to observe the breakup, I think there is even a camera in there that will actually record from inside the breaking up of ATV, so we will have images of that, and those will then be recovered, will hopefully survive the re-entry and be recovered. So that will be definitely a vary interesting time.
INTERVIEWER: As you imagine this is the final ATV that there is in the plan, as this program met goals that it has announced for it? ((( 42:45 not sure here, please check!!!)))
Oh, I think so, yea, definitely. Well, first of all, all the ATVs, all five of them, have been extremely successful, actually, you know, in terms of performance in their mission exceeding all expectations, the, you know, one of the peculiarities of ATV is its ability to dock in fully automatic way, that is not the case for the other vehicles, you know, Dragon or Cygnus they come close to the space station and put the selves in some, in a sort of formation flight about ten meters from the station and the astronauts or crew members have to go and grab them with a robotic arm and will be berth them to the space station. And same thing when they depart we actually have to un-berth them with the arm and then they will give a burn and leave. ATV does all that automatically, we still observe it form inside, we are trained crew members to monitor the rendezvous and intervene if something goes wrong, but there was never a need to intervene, in fact all ATV have come in extremely, extremely precisely, you know, at a precision within the order of magnitude of centimeters, and so that is a very interesting technology and very important, I guess instrumental for future exploration, you know, if we have to build something in the future in orbit that has to build itself automatically and then maybe be ready for a crew to come in, this ability to dock with extremely high precision is very important and ATV has definitely proven that’s possible. And then of course, you know, it has supplied, i mean ATV have supplied about seven tons of cargo to the space station on each flight, definitely a success.
INTERVIEWER: What are you most looking forward to about this experience?
Ehm, I think… you know, I could pick many things but I think it will be diminutive. I think what I’m really looking forward is the experience as a whole: turn myself into a Space-Human, you know. We, you know, we are all born in this planet, you know, we grew up, our parents and adults in our lifestyle help us into becoming adult human beings, …
Un grazie a Michael per il consiglio su Draft e un altro a Buzz per il supprto tecnico su come farlo funzionare!
