After some “cultural training” last night organized by crewmate Terry, who took Anton and me to the Houston Texans football game and was patient enough to explain the rules to us, the training week has started full speed this morning with a pretty long sim in which we practiced recovery from a major power failure: one of those nasty situations in which you loose com with mission control and, as a crew, you need to dig into long and convoluted procedures to bring the Station to a safe configuration.
Later in the day, on to some preparation work with Peggy for our EVA training run on Friday and then a review of habitation aspects on Station. That includes obvious things like crew quarters, housekeeping tasks, food, … but also some fun little details, like all the different devices that we can use to position and secure things on orbit.
Most of the racks on Station have so called C-tracks seat tracks: in the picture you can see two such tracks running top to bottom next to each other in the ISS mockup. And you can also see some of the devices that we can secure at any point on a C-track seat track and can in turn be used to mount and orient laptops, foot restraints, cameras, extra lights and more.
Little tricks about living on humanity’s outpost in space.
