 We are currently receiving downlink video from inside the Shuttle Columbia. As you can see inside this space lab module it doesn't matter whether you walk on the ceiling or the floor. The weightless environment of space allows the astronauts to be able to work on experiments from just about any angle. We need you to try to diffuse the light a little bit more. Pylint Kent Roeinger continues to show video from the Handheld Diffusion Test Cell, which is a protein crystal growth experiment. We are still receiving live video from inside the space lab. We can see that there's a portion of both the red and blue team inside the module at this time, looks as though they're posing for pictures. There's this electronic still camera that allows digitally processed electronic signals to be sent to the ground so that we have a way to view still pictures during real time, during the mission. In the center of the screen is payload specialist Al Psycho who is holding a banner from the Worchester Polytechnic Institute where he is from. Al Psycho is also the principal investigator for the Zeolite Crystal Growth Experiment that is being flown on board this United States Microgravity Laboratory 2 mission. We've got a good downlink of camera delta. This is Mission Control Houston. We are receiving television from Columbia's payload bay camera as Columbia flies over the Pacific Ocean at an altitude of about 165. Right over Hawaii. The light center control during the TV stuff, but it all looks a bit cloudy as well, but it's a shame. This view of the earth from 165 statute miles from the payload bay cameras on board Columbia. In just a few minutes we will be going on to the, we'll be going on to the flight deck of Columbia where Mike Lopez-Alegria will participate in an interview with two Spanish radio stations, Cadena Ser and Cadena Copey. Columbia Houston, let us know when you're ready for us to come inside. Columbia, this is Columbia Ser. How do you hear me? Cadena Ser, how are you? Buenas noches. ¿Te pasa Antena Miguel? La tecnología apunta para descubrir el espacio y precisamente aquí los tenemos ya. Estamos en contacto con Miguel Lopez-Alegria. O sea que hasta ahora Miguel Lopez-Alegria puede estar escuchándonos. Nos estás escuchando en este momento. Miguel, buenas noches. ¿Qué tal? ¿Dónde te encuentras ahora? Descríbenos un poco cómo es el interior del Columbia. Aquí tenemos como dos salas, la cabina y una sala que es más o menos como el dormitorio, la cocina donde hacemos unos experimentos y también tenemos un módulo de como es un laboratorio en la parte atrás en el compartimento de carga. Entonces, yo estoy ahora mismo en la cabina de mandos y aunque tengo todas las ventanas cerradas para quitar la luz para que salga bien en televisión, te puedo decir que estamos sobre las islas de Hawaii ahora mismo. Yeah, go ahead Fred, switch to the phone. I got the camcorder set off, I haven't got it framed yet. And I just wanted them to let them know that things were in work. We'll give you the TCG report card also. Yeah, that sounds good. We'll just stand by. We're seeing the shape of the interface or liquid to air boundary, the separation point between the liquid and air. Changing now as Katie Coleman adjusts the angle of the wedge shaped container. Well, the color sure does make a big difference, doesn't it? You guys are doing a great job. We're getting some really fantastic data. Fortunately, I'm looking at a black and white monitor, but I can still see a lot more in that display than I see in the one here on board. Yeah, well, that's why it's so much more helpful for us to have this color. But the PIV is also the particles of flow visors coming through really much clearer than I had anticipated. It sure is. Wish I were enjoying it with you guys. You're really getting us some fantastic data and everything is just great from our point of view. Everybody in the STDC crew wants to really thank you for the kind of effort you're putting out. That's all we'd like to come to space, and I wish we could bring more of you with us up here. But it gets a little crowded. Yeah, well, it'd be nice for an old guy to be up there, I tell you. Okay, Cathy, I think we've got to wind it up now. So, again, give our best to everybody aboard, and we're looking forward to getting more good stuff from you. This is Space Live Operations Control Huntsville, and we're now seeing on the downlink video as Cathy Thornton proceeds to deploy a drop of liquid in the drop physics module. To proceed, Al Sacco, rather, is actually running the controls for this experiment. We copy, Cathy. Again, as... It's a beautiful drop. Let's deploy it. Al Sacco's reference to free drift being the condition where the orbiter is put in a mode with no thruster jet firings temporarily, and that gives the most stable and vibration-free environment, and that's the condition desired when you're actually deploying a drop of very sensitive operations such as this. This is Space Live Operations Huntsville. Here we, again, take some video from the surface tension-driven convection experiment, which Cathy Thornton is running again and going through another experiment run with some different parameters dialed in. The majority of the adjustments that we keep hearing on air to ground about controlling this experiment involve the amount of electrical energy being used turning up the power on a laser light source, and that laser, then, is directed down onto the surface of the little container of oil, and it shines onto the surface. We can see a bright spot there where it is reflecting off the upper surface of the oil container.
