CAPCOM just started to give an update "and some context" to a error I didn't catch specifics on but requested the crew switch to privatized SG-4 first.  Mike was going to gather a few folks for the update.  Passing updates on privatized channels in not standard procedure...

Sounded something like "da chee dot me", but I have no idea what that's a reference to.

Astronauts Work Final Spacewalk Preps and Genetic Sequencing

Mark Garcia Posted on June 12, 2024

The Expedition 71 crew is in final preparations for a science and maintenance spacewalk set to begin Thursday morning. The two astronauts on NASA’s Boeing Crew Flight Test spent their day aboard the International Space Station performing genetic sequencing and orbital plumbing.

NASA astronauts Tracy C. Dyson and Matthew Dominick are in their final day of preparations for a spacewalk planned to start at 8 a.m. EDT on Thursday. Once the astronauts set their spacesuits to battery power, the spacewalkers will exit the Quest airlock into the vacuum of space for six-and-a-half hours of maintenance and science work. The duo will first remove the radio frequency group hardware from a pallet on the side of the Destiny laboratory module with assistance from the Canadarm2 robotic arm. Next, the spacewalkers will swab surfaces on the Destiny and Quest modules to determine if microorganisms released through station vents can survive the external microgravity environment.

Dyson and Dominick readied Quest, checked their spacesuits, and organized spacewalking tools on Wednesday morning. NASA Flight Engineers Mike Barratt and Jeanette Epps practiced on a computer the Canadarm2 maneuvers they will use during Thursday’s spacewalk. All four astronauts at the end of the day called down to mission controllers for a final spacewalk preparedness conference.

NASA TV will begin its spacewalk broadcast at 6:30 a.m. on Thursday. Live coverage will air on NASA+, NASA Television, the NASA app, YouTube, and the agency’s website. Learn how to stream NASA TV through a variety of platforms including social media.

NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams spent Wednesday focusing on lab maintenance and researching advanced biotechnology. Wilmore started his day checking cargo stowed in the Harmony module before replacing components in the station’s bathroom, known as the waste and hygiene compartment located in the Tranquility module. Williams extracted DNA from microbes collected from station water samples and sequenced their genes for identification. Results may inform ways to keep crews healthy and space habitats cleaner.

The station’s three cosmonauts, Oleg Kononenko, Nikolai Chub, and Alexander Grebenkin, had an off-duty day on Wednesday spending time relaxing, exercising, and on light housekeeping tasks.

Some very odd, and disturbing, audio just aired on the ISS Youtube feed.  A flight surgeon for SpaceX? (she referenced being on the way to MCC-X but was stuck in traffic) was talking to someone about getting the "Commander" into his suit, putting an oxygen mask with 100% oxygen, and talking about hyperbaric exposure.  She stated the Commander's outlook was "doubtful." She believed the conversation was privatized, obviously it was not, and finished by passing contact info for a hospital in Spain.  Whoever she was talking to was not heard and I verified the exchange was in fact on the ISS feed by reloading the page and starting it from scratch and heard the conversation continue.
Best quote heard during an inspection, "I was unaware that I was the only one who was aware."

Here is a full transcript of the radio traffic in question from the NASA ISS live stream:

So if we could get a commander back in his suit, get it sealed and step into procedure 5.180 for suited hyperbaric treatment, section three for oxygen post-splashdown, that would be my recommendation. How copy?

Copy. Understand that this is a best effort treatment, and so whatever you can do is going to be better than doing nothing. And just as an FYI, prior to sealing, closing the visor and pressurizing the suit, I would like you to check his pulse one more time. How copy?

Correct, yes. That would be, actually, Sif [sp?], you're on this call. How much oxygen do we have remaining in minutes?

100% O2 flowing via mask while you get the suit on. Prior to closing the visor and pressurizing, I'd like you to do a pulse check one more time, and then step into 5.180, section three.

Is there a way that the mask can be attached? So is there a way that we could get the suit over the head, have the visor open, and put the mask at least close to his face while you finish sealing up the suit, or is that not feasible?

Copy. Copy.

Well, I think at this point, because the hypobaric exposure is the big problem, and given his exam, I am concerned that there are some severe DCS hits, and so I would recommend trying to get him in the suit as soon as possible, and giving oxygen as best as able during that process, but the best thing would be to get him in the suit ASAP.

Thank you. Just as a FYI for you, I am still about one hour out from MCC-X. Unfortunately, we will need to keep doing the phone situation until I am able to be there. I am currently stuck in traffic.

While we don't have other flight surgeons on call, while I am stuck in traffic, I can reach out to see if there's anyone who can get there sooner than one hour. That being said, there really isn't anything we could do in person that we can't do over the phone at this point. Unfortunately, the prognosis for Commander is relatively tenuous, I'll say, at this point, to keep it generic.

One thing, I don't know if you got this message before, but I did find a, through Dan, I did find a hospital in Spain that has critical care facilities and hyperbaric treatment facilities. Would you like me to give you that hospital and their phone number again?

Okay, so that is San Carlos, S-A-N-C-A-R-L-O-S, in San Fernando, spelled the normal way, and that's in the province of Cadiz, C-A-D-I-Z, in Spain. And that phone number is country code XXXXX . Again, that number is country code XXXXX. How copy?

Copy. In the meantime, I will continue my trek in. Otherwise, I will see if a flight surgeon can be there sooner, and then you are free to call me with any updates or any changes. If the crew do get suited and start the treatment and they make a call down, I would request to be updated at that point. Thank you very much. Anything else I can do for you, Sif? Thank you, bye.

https://twitter.com/mslindsey42/status/1801034649797353850. Great if true.  I heard some traffic prior the first Crew Dragon launch that the launch abort system had been activated... and it turned out to be a SIM that some how made it onto the live feed.

Someone is not going to be able to sit down tomorrow...  A lot of it didn't make sense, how would only 1 person be effected, but I felt an obligation to post what I heard.

"There is no emergency situation going on aboard the International Space Station. At approximately 5:28 p.m. CDT, audio was aired on the NASA livestream from a simulation audio channel on the ground indicating a crew member was experiencing effects related to decompression sickness (DCS). This audio was inadvertently misrouted from an ongoing simulation where crew members and ground teams train for various scenarios in space and is not related to a real emergency. The International Space Station crew members were in their sleep period at the time. All remain healthy and safe, and tomorrow’s spacewalk will start at 8 a.m. EDT as planned."

@BoeingSpace
Today, the #Starliner crew was busy aboard @Space_Station.

Butch Wilmore made home-type repairs in the Tranquility module, while Suni Williams extracted and sequenced DNA from station water samples.

Together, they've helped the Expedition 71 crew prepare for a June 13 spacewalk.
