00:00:06.950 --> 00:00:18.840
Yes good morning effort Wow I'm gonna start getting set up and get some equipment out but uh we'll let you know

2
00:00:15.420 --> 00:00:22.710
we have any questions everything and just a little quick thing as you're me

3
00:00:20.940 --> 00:00:27.930
harvesting both veggies approximately half the leaves from each plant my role

4
00:00:25.500 --> 00:00:35.580
during on over harvest is to park the astronauts and helping them out and think ahead for themselves and saving

5
00:00:32.790 --> 00:00:39.660
that valuable crew time and we can help them guide them through the written

6
00:00:37.350 --> 00:00:44.910
procedures and if there's any anomalies that come up we can help them work

7
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:49.410
through that while during real-time ops again you'll be weighing the leaves once

8
00:00:47.820 --> 00:00:53.760
you cut them splitting the leaves up between science and then consumption and

9
00:00:51.810 --> 00:00:59.790
then weighing the leaves that you're gonna consume in MMD so there's plenty of work for both of you to do they're

10
00:00:57.660 --> 00:01:03.660
following a procedure that we write for them to do the activity and it's maybe

11
00:01:01.650 --> 00:01:12.810
the first time they've seen that procedure that's negative we weigh them

12
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:17.400
on the ground but right now particularly for a vigil

13
00:01:15.060 --> 00:01:21.030
for B we're planting the seeds here and then packing them for flights then when

14
00:01:19.170 --> 00:01:24.600
the astronauts take out those pillows from stowage and insert them into the

15
00:01:22.650 --> 00:01:31.260
veggie units just add water to it it'll start growing copy all Dru thank you

16
00:01:29.940 --> 00:01:36.810
very much or look at them up hopefully everything's going pretty well it looks good it's a little bit slow get going

17
00:01:35.070 --> 00:01:41.970
until about two weeks in and then at two weeks it picks up growth and we just see

18
00:01:39.390 --> 00:01:43.680
it burst to life and we take it all the

19
00:01:41.970 --> 00:01:47.550
way until about four weeks when we do our first harvest and we cut it back to

20
00:01:46.140 --> 00:01:51.090
where we have just these small leaves left and then it starts all over where

21
00:01:49.320 --> 00:01:53.060
it continues to pick up growth and we

22
00:01:51.090 --> 00:02:01.910
take that to our next harvest going into digit walk back in being way to that correct half of them will go

23
00:01:58.610 --> 00:02:05.510
into the foil and then half of them will

24
00:02:01.910 --> 00:02:08.540
go into the ziploc she may need to cut off a couple more on that number six

25
00:02:07.070 --> 00:02:13.550
there's a there's a larger right leave it's like coming right for us yeah she's

26
00:02:11.420 --> 00:02:16.660
not she's okay to cut off the medium-sized ones as well

27
00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:26.730
number five I just I don't want her to get so far that then she can't get

28
00:02:24.270 --> 00:02:32.070
samples put back where they need to go in generic containers so the astronauts

29
00:02:30.330 --> 00:02:33.930
will come in and for a cut and come

30
00:02:32.070 --> 00:02:39.840
again harvest they will take off the majority of our leaves they'll leave behind just the smallest youngest leaves

31
00:02:37.860 --> 00:02:41.730
to continue growing until we come back

32
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:45.180
in a couple of weeks to do our next cut and coming in harvest these so we're

33
00:02:43.170 --> 00:02:51.240
looking at how our different nutrients varying across these late treatments because the longer we go through space

34
00:02:49.020 --> 00:02:58.080
the more we're really concentrating on providing high nutrient crops to our astronauts and they're gonna call down

35
00:02:55.470 --> 00:03:03.030
weights from the MMD measurements so they're gonna call down three light weights for each plant male plants yes

36
00:03:01.650 --> 00:03:09.510
so we're you know compare notes to make sure we've heard everything there okay and then the other half of the crops

37
00:03:08.070 --> 00:03:15.180
that they've been harvesting from each pillow they will sanitize on-orbit they weigh them in the mass measurement

38
00:03:13.440 --> 00:03:21.720
device so we actually can find out how much those leaves weigh in microgravity which is a new wonderful tool that we

39
00:03:19.590 --> 00:03:26.730
have then put these plant samples inside a little ziploc bag and then the astronauts will then consume those

40
00:03:25.170 --> 00:03:32.070
leaves as part of a taste test and if they have any left over they can have it with dinner

41
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:39.450
Kabhi thumbs up and the plants look great Jessica good job this year our final harvest four bedroom four B is on

42
00:03:36.600 --> 00:03:44.670
Thanksgiving so the astronauts will be enjoying the food they're away from their families we'll be in here

43
00:03:42.720 --> 00:03:51.000
supporting them away from our families so it's a it's a little bit of a if you

44
00:03:47.460 --> 00:03:53.430
will a NASA space family having you know

45
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:58.920
harvesting a part of their meal together they look really good this is the best one we've had

46
00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:10.020
you
