1
00:00:03,750 --> 00:00:02,950
we're at nasa's jet propulsion

2
00:00:06,309 --> 00:00:03,760
laboratory

3
00:00:06,950 --> 00:00:06,319
in the spacecraft assembly facility this

4
00:00:10,310 --> 00:00:06,960
is where

5
00:00:11,030 --> 00:00:10,320
we build assemble and test major

6
00:00:18,630 --> 00:00:11,040
elements

7
00:00:24,310 --> 00:00:21,670
we will be measuring from space um

8
00:00:25,109 --> 00:00:24,320
the height of the oceans lakes rivers

9
00:00:27,589 --> 00:00:25,119
reservoirs

10
00:00:29,269 --> 00:00:27,599
all across the earth we really want to

11
00:00:32,150 --> 00:00:29,279
understand how much there is where it's

12
00:00:34,389 --> 00:00:32,160
coming from and where it's going

13
00:00:35,510 --> 00:00:34,399
this is a key milestone because it's

14
00:00:38,630 --> 00:00:35,520
built up now

15
00:00:41,750 --> 00:00:38,640
ready to start its journey to france to

16
00:00:43,590 --> 00:00:41,760
the next and last phase of the

17
00:00:45,750 --> 00:00:43,600
satellite development which is putting

18
00:00:47,110 --> 00:00:45,760
it all together and preparing for launch

19
00:00:59,349 --> 00:00:47,120
which we're expecting

20
00:01:02,310 --> 00:00:59,359
will happen at the end of next year

21
00:01:04,630 --> 00:01:02,320
swat is a international collaboration

22
00:01:07,190 --> 00:01:04,640
that's a partnership between nasa

23
00:01:08,870 --> 00:01:07,200
and the french space agency but we have

24
00:01:10,950 --> 00:01:08,880
additional collaborations

25
00:01:12,630 --> 00:01:10,960
with the canadian space agency and the

26
00:01:14,789 --> 00:01:12,640
uk space agency

27
00:01:16,149 --> 00:01:14,799
we have scientists and engineers all

28
00:01:18,550 --> 00:01:16,159
throughout the world

29
00:01:19,670 --> 00:01:18,560
and we are inviting all of those global

30
00:01:23,270 --> 00:01:19,680
collaborators

31
00:01:25,749 --> 00:01:23,280
to help us succeed earth science is a

32
00:01:27,830 --> 00:01:25,759
key part of of the work we're doing here

33
00:01:29,030 --> 00:01:27,840
in the same facility we have two major

34
00:01:32,149 --> 00:01:29,040
missions going

35
00:01:46,630 --> 00:01:32,159
between swat and also nysar

36
00:01:50,469 --> 00:01:49,109
there are lots of other smaller earth

37
00:01:53,990 --> 00:01:50,479
science missions also

38
00:01:56,310 --> 00:01:54,000
active right now maya pre-fire

39
00:01:57,749 --> 00:01:56,320
emit now we're expecting that we're

40
00:02:00,950 --> 00:01:57,759
going to be able to provide

41
00:02:07,950 --> 00:02:00,960
a lot of information in this

42
00:02:18,070 --> 00:02:07,960
coming decade that just didn't exist
