1
00:00:07,030 --> 00:00:04,789
nasa research park or nrp as we call it

2
00:00:09,830 --> 00:00:07,040
at ames research center today is hosting

3
00:00:12,629 --> 00:00:09,840
the exploration and sustainability expo

4
00:00:13,509 --> 00:00:12,639
wherein about 40 of our partners in the

5
00:00:15,749 --> 00:00:13,519
park

6
00:00:17,670 --> 00:00:15,759
universities businesses and non-profits

7
00:00:18,470 --> 00:00:17,680
are showcasing their technologies and

8
00:00:20,630 --> 00:00:18,480
products

9
00:00:21,590 --> 00:00:20,640
along with our nasa ames experts and

10
00:00:23,550 --> 00:00:21,600
researchers

11
00:00:25,670 --> 00:00:23,560
to show the confluence between

12
00:00:27,509 --> 00:00:25,680
exploration-driven technologies

13
00:00:29,990 --> 00:00:27,519
and the new technologies we need for

14
00:00:32,069 --> 00:00:30,000
sustainability purposes here on earth

15
00:00:33,030 --> 00:00:32,079
skytran is a personal rapid transit

16
00:00:36,229 --> 00:00:33,040
technology

17
00:00:38,709 --> 00:00:36,239
that's a hybrid between automobiles

18
00:00:39,590 --> 00:00:38,719
with the throughput of mass transit well

19
00:00:41,270 --> 00:00:39,600
it uses

20
00:00:42,869 --> 00:00:41,280
magnetic levitation to support the

21
00:00:44,869 --> 00:00:42,879
vehicle instead of wheels

22
00:00:46,470 --> 00:00:44,879
and linear synchronous motors to propel

23
00:00:49,110 --> 00:00:46,480
the vehicle on a guideway

24
00:00:49,910 --> 00:00:49,120
this is basically a laboratory it's a

25
00:00:52,709 --> 00:00:49,920
test bench

26
00:00:54,470 --> 00:00:52,719
and we're an r d company we're designing

27
00:00:55,189 --> 00:00:54,480
total electric power systems for

28
00:00:56,790 --> 00:00:55,199
automobiles

29
00:00:58,549 --> 00:00:56,800
we're researching air traffic management

30
00:01:00,709 --> 00:00:58,559
technologies basically

31
00:01:02,470 --> 00:01:00,719
trying to improve the flying experience

32
00:01:03,590 --> 00:01:02,480
by increasing efficiency of commercial

33
00:01:05,990 --> 00:01:03,600
air traffic

34
00:01:07,590 --> 00:01:06,000
and in so doing we hope to have a

35
00:01:09,190 --> 00:01:07,600
beneficial impact on the environment by

36
00:01:10,710 --> 00:01:09,200
reducing emissions and delays

37
00:01:12,550 --> 00:01:10,720
when nasa's pursuing our missions in

38
00:01:14,149 --> 00:01:12,560
exploration we're having to do things

39
00:01:15,590 --> 00:01:14,159
and develop new technologies

40
00:01:18,310 --> 00:01:15,600
that are pushing the envelope of what

41
00:01:19,749 --> 00:01:18,320
technology can do and in doing so

42
00:01:21,670 --> 00:01:19,759
we develop technologies that also have

43
00:01:23,429 --> 00:01:21,680
many applications back here on earth

44
00:01:25,590 --> 00:01:23,439
and a lot of those have to do with

45
00:01:27,109 --> 00:01:25,600
sustainability the rovers that we have

46
00:01:30,390 --> 00:01:27,119
here this one specifically

47
00:01:32,310 --> 00:01:30,400
they're used for studies on earth

48
00:01:34,310 --> 00:01:32,320
and we had uh set up a mission control

49
00:01:36,069 --> 00:01:34,320
center actually here at nasa ames

50
00:01:38,149 --> 00:01:36,079
and via satellite link we were

51
00:01:40,469 --> 00:01:38,159
controlling these rovers as if we would

52
00:01:43,109 --> 00:01:40,479
control them on mars this

53
00:01:44,469 --> 00:01:43,119
expo is really great because we've got

54
00:01:47,109 --> 00:01:44,479
everybody coming together

55
00:01:48,469 --> 00:01:47,119
scientists researchers engineers high

56
00:01:49,590 --> 00:01:48,479
technology

57
00:01:52,069 --> 00:01:49,600
things that are happening in your

58
00:01:53,749 --> 00:01:52,079
backyard new green technology

59
00:01:55,590 --> 00:01:53,759
all these groups are coming together and

60
00:01:56,230 --> 00:01:55,600
we're having a really great interchange

61
00:01:58,310 --> 00:01:56,240
and

62
00:01:59,350 --> 00:01:58,320
learning how to partner better with the

63
00:02:01,590 --> 00:01:59,360
technical sector

64
00:02:03,190 --> 00:02:01,600
and with the government we're currently

65
00:02:05,190 --> 00:02:03,200
working with nasa to firm up

66
00:02:07,190 --> 00:02:05,200
what's known as a space act agreement

67
00:02:09,589 --> 00:02:07,200
which will then allow the unique

68
00:02:11,589 --> 00:02:09,599
capabilities of this aviation platform

69
00:02:12,949 --> 00:02:11,599
to be used for scientific research and

70
00:02:14,710 --> 00:02:12,959
we're really excited about that one

71
00:02:16,710 --> 00:02:14,720
the uav collaborative is a non-profit

72
00:02:19,350 --> 00:02:16,720
organization here in california that's

73
00:02:21,510 --> 00:02:19,360
charter is to promote uav technology

74
00:02:23,190 --> 00:02:21,520
unmanned aerial vehicles we first have

75
00:02:24,390 --> 00:02:23,200
established a relationship with the nasa

76
00:02:25,750 --> 00:02:24,400
ames research center we have a

77
00:02:27,990 --> 00:02:25,760
cooperative agreement to

78
00:02:29,270 --> 00:02:28,000
conduct uav demonstration missions and

79
00:02:31,589 --> 00:02:29,280
acquire data

80
00:02:33,110 --> 00:02:31,599
the main emphasis on earth science but

81
00:02:35,110 --> 00:02:33,120
we've reached out into

82
00:02:37,190 --> 00:02:35,120
emergency response applications search

83
00:02:38,869 --> 00:02:37,200
and rescue the tesla roadster is the

84
00:02:40,470 --> 00:02:38,879
only federally certified highway

85
00:02:41,670 --> 00:02:40,480
electric vehicle available for sale in

86
00:02:44,070 --> 00:02:41,680
the united states

87
00:02:44,790 --> 00:02:44,080
it is uh it is runs on lithium-ion

88
00:02:47,110 --> 00:02:44,800
batteries

89
00:02:47,910 --> 00:02:47,120
it goes 244 miles on a charge on the epa

90
00:02:50,229 --> 00:02:47,920
cycle

91
00:02:52,869 --> 00:02:50,239
and has a top speed of 125 miles per

92
00:02:53,350 --> 00:02:52,879
hour nasa has a really great opportunity

93
00:02:55,270 --> 00:02:53,360
here

94
00:02:57,830 --> 00:02:55,280
to help the nation move towards

95
00:02:58,869 --> 00:02:57,840
sustainable systems and renewable energy

96
00:03:01,270 --> 00:02:58,879
in the future

97
00:03:02,390 --> 00:03:01,280
we have sustainability work that we do

98
00:03:04,630 --> 00:03:02,400
in space for

99
00:03:06,869 --> 00:03:04,640
the space station for potential and

100
00:03:07,910 --> 00:03:06,879
future lunar and mars habitats that's

101
00:03:09,430 --> 00:03:07,920
very sustainable

102
00:03:11,270 --> 00:03:09,440
those technologies can be brought back

103
00:03:11,990 --> 00:03:11,280
down to earth right here to be able to

104
00:03:14,149 --> 00:03:12,000
help us

105
00:03:16,149 --> 00:03:14,159
make our our homes and our businesses

106
00:03:18,630 --> 00:03:16,159
more sustainable the nasa lunar science

107
00:03:19,910 --> 00:03:18,640
institute is a distributed or virtual

108
00:03:22,309 --> 00:03:19,920
institute

109
00:03:24,309 --> 00:03:22,319
that supports lunar science research so

110
00:03:25,830 --> 00:03:24,319
our central office is based at nasa ames

111
00:03:26,550 --> 00:03:25,840
and there are teams across the country

112
00:03:28,309 --> 00:03:26,560
and the world

113
00:03:30,789 --> 00:03:28,319
working together to do lunar science

114
00:03:32,149 --> 00:03:30,799
research the research park is the first

115
00:03:33,990 --> 00:03:32,159
attempt in the united states

116
00:03:35,430 --> 00:03:34,000
to actually bring in parties with the

117
00:03:37,270 --> 00:03:35,440
fundamental view of

118
00:03:39,270 --> 00:03:37,280
if you bring them together can you

119
00:03:41,350 --> 00:03:39,280
leverage resources and talent

120
00:03:43,270 --> 00:03:41,360
in a very competitive world where no one

121
00:03:44,789 --> 00:03:43,280
is spending as much money as we used to

122
00:03:46,710 --> 00:03:44,799
on research and development

123
00:03:48,470 --> 00:03:46,720
our core is exploration be it in

124
00:03:49,830 --> 00:03:48,480
aeronautics or space programs

125
00:03:51,509 --> 00:03:49,840
when we bring in partners that are

126
00:03:53,190 --> 00:03:51,519
developing technologies or

127
00:03:55,110 --> 00:03:53,200
graduate students that are moving into

128
00:03:56,630 --> 00:03:55,120
science technology engineering math

129
00:03:58,390 --> 00:03:56,640
you create an intellectual stew that's

130
00:04:00,229 --> 00:03:58,400
nowhere else in the country what we're

131
00:04:02,149 --> 00:04:00,239
able to showcase today are many of the
