Crew members speak live with U.S. embassies
Commander Mike Lopez-Alegria, KE5GTK, and Flight Engineer Suni Williams,
KD5PLB, Wednesday did a televised interactive talk with the U.S. Embassies
in Madrid, Spain, and New Delhi, India.
Lopez-Alegria, born in Spain, spoke with U.S. Ambassador Eduardo Aquirre,
media and school children. Williams, of Indian background, spoke with
U.S. Ambassador David C. Mulford and Rakesh Sharma, the first Indian in
space.
Also on Wednesday, Lopez-Alegria and Williams performed a mandatory emergency
medical on-board training drill. This is an exercise designed to refresh
crew members’ skills in applying advanced cardio life support in
an emergency.
Lopez-Alegria and Williams performed steps to resolve a simulated medical
emergency. The objectives of the exercise include practicing communication
and coordination necessary to perform medical emergency procedures, locating
appropriate emergency medical components and determining each crew member’s
individual method of delivering cardio-pulmonary resuscitation in zero-gravity.
