This is what we call the VET-O, the living compartment, VIT-DO-BOY-AT-SEK in Russian.
01:16
It also has a little bathroom.
01:18
It's not as good as the other bathrooms, so we try not to use it too much.
01:22
It has drinking water in it if we need something to drink.
01:25
And then, of course, it's filled up with a lot of cargo for us.

From the descent module, the three crew members monitor all information about the spacecraft
01:45
and the ISS from ground data, the on-board computers, and an optical display of the view
01:51
from a periscope mounted on the outside.
