1 00:00:05,670 --> 00:00:03,270 after the dragon spacecraft does arrive 2 00:00:07,269 --> 00:00:05,680 at the station and the hatches are open 3 00:00:09,430 --> 00:00:07,279 the crews on board are going to start to 4 00:00:12,230 --> 00:00:09,440 unload the cargo that's inside now the 5 00:00:14,549 --> 00:00:12,240 largest portion of that cargo is food 6 00:00:16,710 --> 00:00:14,559 and crew provisions but there is science 7 00:00:18,150 --> 00:00:16,720 experiment hardware in there as well 8 00:00:20,790 --> 00:00:18,160 we're going to find out this morning 9 00:00:22,790 --> 00:00:20,800 more about those that cargo and other 10 00:00:24,710 --> 00:00:22,800 news regarding space station science 11 00:00:27,189 --> 00:00:24,720 from dr tara rutley the international 12 00:00:28,870 --> 00:00:27,199 space station's assistant associate 13 00:00:29,990 --> 00:00:28,880 program scientist got it associate 14 00:00:32,870 --> 00:00:30,000 program 15 00:00:35,270 --> 00:00:32,880 the only science payloads inside this 16 00:00:37,510 --> 00:00:35,280 spaceship are coming from a dozen groups 17 00:00:39,750 --> 00:00:37,520 of school kids uh tell me about the 18 00:00:41,910 --> 00:00:39,760 student space flight experiment program 19 00:00:43,590 --> 00:00:41,920 sure how cool is that right 20 00:00:45,910 --> 00:00:43,600 i know that the students who are 21 00:00:48,470 --> 00:00:45,920 watching this whole spacex demo launch 22 00:00:50,470 --> 00:00:48,480 and and watching their payload go 23 00:00:52,150 --> 00:00:50,480 must be super super thrilled 24 00:00:54,470 --> 00:00:52,160 beyond anything probably that a science 25 00:00:57,350 --> 00:00:54,480 fair could even do for them but 26 00:00:59,510 --> 00:00:57,360 so this is a program that's 27 00:01:01,189 --> 00:00:59,520 sponsored jointly actually by the 28 00:01:02,790 --> 00:01:01,199 national center for earth and space 29 00:01:03,830 --> 00:01:02,800 science education 30 00:01:05,750 --> 00:01:03,840 and 31 00:01:07,109 --> 00:01:05,760 the nanoracks the company nanoracks 32 00:01:09,510 --> 00:01:07,119 commercial company 33 00:01:11,670 --> 00:01:09,520 and so it's as part of a student 34 00:01:14,149 --> 00:01:11,680 competition and this is the first of its 35 00:01:15,670 --> 00:01:14,159 kind that's going to stay on station 36 00:01:18,070 --> 00:01:15,680 although this program has a history of 37 00:01:20,390 --> 00:01:18,080 launching two i think two previous 38 00:01:21,429 --> 00:01:20,400 student investigations on a nanoracks 39 00:01:24,149 --> 00:01:21,439 module 40 00:01:27,109 --> 00:01:24,159 uh on the shuttle missions so what 41 00:01:29,109 --> 00:01:27,119 nanoracks is it's a small laboratory 42 00:01:30,870 --> 00:01:29,119 basically a very mini laboratory that 43 00:01:33,510 --> 00:01:30,880 can get launched to station and can live 44 00:01:34,950 --> 00:01:33,520 on station and you know you basically 45 00:01:36,710 --> 00:01:34,960 plug and play these experiments and they 46 00:01:40,149 --> 00:01:36,720 can do their thing while they're up in 47 00:01:42,389 --> 00:01:40,159 microgravity and so nanoracks and the 48 00:01:44,710 --> 00:01:42,399 program partnered and put out a call for 49 00:01:47,350 --> 00:01:44,720 proposals for students last year i think 50 00:01:49,190 --> 00:01:47,360 it was last fall to compete you know 51 00:01:51,190 --> 00:01:49,200 compete and design and create a proposal 52 00:01:52,469 --> 00:01:51,200 as as to basically what do you think you 53 00:01:55,429 --> 00:01:52,479 might see 54 00:01:56,709 --> 00:01:55,439 in terms of changes um in experiments in 55 00:01:58,310 --> 00:01:56,719 microgravity 56 00:02:00,469 --> 00:01:58,320 so students from across the nation 57 00:02:02,789 --> 00:02:00,479 participated there were nearly 800 58 00:02:05,270 --> 00:02:02,799 proposals that were submitted from the 59 00:02:07,030 --> 00:02:05,280 students and it and it basically reached 60 00:02:09,190 --> 00:02:07,040 out to about that that involved about 3 61 00:02:11,990 --> 00:02:09,200 500 students actually participating in 62 00:02:13,190 --> 00:02:12,000 experimental design in a way that was 63 00:02:15,990 --> 00:02:13,200 different because when you're creating a 64 00:02:17,510 --> 00:02:16,000 new experiment for for space station you 65 00:02:20,390 --> 00:02:17,520 have to take gravity out of the equation 66 00:02:23,750 --> 00:02:20,400 and that's a complete challenge so after 67 00:02:25,990 --> 00:02:23,760 two grueling rounds of um of uh 68 00:02:27,990 --> 00:02:26,000 selection processes from top-notch 69 00:02:29,190 --> 00:02:28,000 researchers all over the country 70 00:02:30,710 --> 00:02:29,200 they all came together at the air and 71 00:02:33,190 --> 00:02:30,720 space museum 72 00:02:36,229 --> 00:02:33,200 at the smithsonian and dc and selected 73 00:02:38,229 --> 00:02:36,239 the finalists and the finalists were uh 74 00:02:40,390 --> 00:02:38,239 representing um there were 12 75 00:02:42,229 --> 00:02:40,400 communities representing nine states 76 00:02:44,550 --> 00:02:42,239 including and and the district of 77 00:02:46,470 --> 00:02:44,560 columbia uh to 78 00:02:48,949 --> 00:02:46,480 basically get their experiment launched 79 00:02:50,309 --> 00:02:48,959 on station and get to sit on station for 80 00:02:51,190 --> 00:02:50,319 a while to see what they can come up 81 00:02:52,869 --> 00:02:51,200 with 82 00:02:54,630 --> 00:02:52,879 so what did the what are the winners 83 00:02:56,790 --> 00:02:54,640 investigating so the winners are 84 00:02:58,949 --> 00:02:56,800 investigating a wide range of things and 85 00:03:01,030 --> 00:02:58,959 when i read through these i'm i'm like 86 00:03:04,390 --> 00:03:01,040 this is super cool because the thing 87 00:03:06,710 --> 00:03:04,400 about the students uh experiments is 88 00:03:08,070 --> 00:03:06,720 you know some of them are complete 89 00:03:09,750 --> 00:03:08,080 shots in the dark you don't know what 90 00:03:11,670 --> 00:03:09,760 you don't know so 91 00:03:12,949 --> 00:03:11,680 basic discovery and a chance that hey i 92 00:03:13,990 --> 00:03:12,959 want to see how some of this stuff comes 93 00:03:16,390 --> 00:03:14,000 out so 94 00:03:19,030 --> 00:03:16,400 one of them is investigating uh grape 95 00:03:20,869 --> 00:03:19,040 fermentation in space so they've got a 96 00:03:22,949 --> 00:03:20,879 ground control and they and they flew a 97 00:03:24,630 --> 00:03:22,959 set up on on the space station where 98 00:03:26,869 --> 00:03:24,640 they're looking at um they're going to 99 00:03:28,390 --> 00:03:26,879 measure carbon dioxide production rates 100 00:03:30,309 --> 00:03:28,400 and so this sample needs to come home so 101 00:03:32,949 --> 00:03:30,319 they can compare their their flown 102 00:03:34,550 --> 00:03:32,959 sample to the ground and see which which 103 00:03:36,309 --> 00:03:34,560 which part ferments faster the one in 104 00:03:38,070 --> 00:03:36,319 space or the one on the ground 105 00:03:40,309 --> 00:03:38,080 there's another one looking at the 106 00:03:42,869 --> 00:03:40,319 parathyroid effects of parathyroid 107 00:03:44,630 --> 00:03:42,879 hormone on the growth of bone cells 108 00:03:45,670 --> 00:03:44,640 there's another one which is really cool 109 00:03:47,830 --> 00:03:45,680 they're gonna 110 00:03:50,309 --> 00:03:47,840 send dormant kill fish eggs up to 111 00:03:52,070 --> 00:03:50,319 station rehydrate them on station and 112 00:03:53,830 --> 00:03:52,080 watch them develop and get the samples 113 00:03:55,429 --> 00:03:53,840 back and look at how those samples have 114 00:03:57,270 --> 00:03:55,439 developed in space 115 00:03:59,509 --> 00:03:57,280 pretty cool stuff right how old are 116 00:04:01,350 --> 00:03:59,519 these students well they range from 117 00:04:03,509 --> 00:04:01,360 fifth grade all the way to i believe 118 00:04:06,470 --> 00:04:03,519 there is a community college involvement 119 00:04:08,949 --> 00:04:06,480 as well and the uh and now there's even 120 00:04:10,390 --> 00:04:08,959 a university for four-year universities 121 00:04:11,990 --> 00:04:10,400 who can participate in the upcoming 122 00:04:14,630 --> 00:04:12,000 missions as well but 123 00:04:15,750 --> 00:04:14,640 i you know i've i got online when these 124 00:04:17,670 --> 00:04:15,760 came up and i kind of started 125 00:04:19,189 --> 00:04:17,680 investigating these myself and i've seen 126 00:04:20,949 --> 00:04:19,199 what happens is when these students get 127 00:04:23,030 --> 00:04:20,959 their samples back and complete their 128 00:04:24,390 --> 00:04:23,040 analysis they all come to a conference 129 00:04:26,710 --> 00:04:24,400 at the air and space museum at the 130 00:04:28,950 --> 00:04:26,720 smithsonian in dc and they stand on 131 00:04:31,350 --> 00:04:28,960 stage and they have their presentation 132 00:04:32,469 --> 00:04:31,360 and they give their final results like 133 00:04:34,629 --> 00:04:32,479 like you would at a scientific 134 00:04:37,749 --> 00:04:34,639 conference so i'm watching these fifth 135 00:04:39,350 --> 00:04:37,759 graders who i would have never done what 136 00:04:41,430 --> 00:04:39,360 they had done in fifth grade you know my 137 00:04:44,150 --> 00:04:41,440 science fair projects were never as cool 138 00:04:45,670 --> 00:04:44,160 so uh so they take it from beginning 139 00:04:47,350 --> 00:04:45,680 from experimental design to 140 00:04:49,430 --> 00:04:47,360 implementation to completing the 141 00:04:51,590 --> 00:04:49,440 analysis and communicating the results 142 00:04:54,070 --> 00:04:51,600 and so uh even at a fifth grade level 143 00:04:56,070 --> 00:04:54,080 all you know that's insanely cool very 144 00:04:57,990 --> 00:04:56,080 sophisticated experiments for the 145 00:05:00,550 --> 00:04:58,000 students 146 00:05:03,670 --> 00:05:00,560 along with designing them originally in 147 00:05:04,950 --> 00:05:03,680 these students also had to redesign some 148 00:05:06,550 --> 00:05:04,960 of their experiments or at least 149 00:05:08,710 --> 00:05:06,560 consider redesign because they were 150 00:05:10,710 --> 00:05:08,720 originally going to fly on a different 151 00:05:12,790 --> 00:05:10,720 spacecraft so they had they had to look 152 00:05:15,909 --> 00:05:12,800 at redoing it just like you would have 153 00:05:17,749 --> 00:05:15,919 to maybe redo things in real life 154 00:05:19,590 --> 00:05:17,759 how helpful is that for them that's 155 00:05:21,510 --> 00:05:19,600 right it's the real world that's how 156 00:05:23,830 --> 00:05:21,520 helpful it is um 157 00:05:26,150 --> 00:05:23,840 and and and analogous to that every 158 00:05:28,310 --> 00:05:26,160 scientist whoever does any investigation 159 00:05:29,749 --> 00:05:28,320 the first time around it never comes out 160 00:05:31,350 --> 00:05:29,759 the first time right so science is an 161 00:05:33,270 --> 00:05:31,360 iterative process now when you're 162 00:05:35,830 --> 00:05:33,280 talking about space flight it's it's a 163 00:05:37,749 --> 00:05:35,840 completely uniquely iterative process 164 00:05:39,350 --> 00:05:37,759 and just like our scientists our 165 00:05:41,350 --> 00:05:39,360 investigators on the full-time space 166 00:05:43,990 --> 00:05:41,360 station have these students met the 167 00:05:45,029 --> 00:05:44,000 challenge um of you know when they were 168 00:05:46,390 --> 00:05:45,039 still where they were early in the 169 00:05:48,310 --> 00:05:46,400 selection process 170 00:05:50,310 --> 00:05:48,320 these students were told they were 171 00:05:52,150 --> 00:05:50,320 realized that their projects couldn't be 172 00:05:55,270 --> 00:05:52,160 refrigerated and transport from houston 173 00:05:57,189 --> 00:05:55,280 to kazakhstan and then couldn't be 174 00:05:59,029 --> 00:05:57,199 refrigerated in the soyuz that they were 175 00:06:00,550 --> 00:05:59,039 planning to launch these experiments in 176 00:06:02,309 --> 00:06:00,560 so the students were asked to go back 177 00:06:04,790 --> 00:06:02,319 and reevaluate their experiments and see 178 00:06:06,710 --> 00:06:04,800 if they could do without refrigeration 179 00:06:08,950 --> 00:06:06,720 and then there were there were three 180 00:06:11,590 --> 00:06:08,960 subsequent experiments who couldn't do 181 00:06:13,830 --> 00:06:11,600 without refrigeration so um so they were 182 00:06:15,909 --> 00:06:13,840 uh their alternates were selected 183 00:06:18,230 --> 00:06:15,919 and so students were moving forward with 184 00:06:20,710 --> 00:06:18,240 those um investigations preparing them 185 00:06:23,510 --> 00:06:20,720 for launch on soyuz and then in january 186 00:06:25,830 --> 00:06:23,520 soyuz had a pressurization test fail 187 00:06:28,629 --> 00:06:25,840 which then again impacted their flight 188 00:06:31,029 --> 00:06:28,639 and as a result of all that nasa moved 189 00:06:33,590 --> 00:06:31,039 this investigational payload to 190 00:06:35,189 --> 00:06:33,600 the historic now spacex demo launch 191 00:06:39,670 --> 00:06:35,199 which 192 00:06:41,670 --> 00:06:39,680 cold cold stowage capability so not only 193 00:06:43,430 --> 00:06:41,680 did the alternates get to fly the three 194 00:06:45,590 --> 00:06:43,440 alternates but the original three that 195 00:06:47,749 --> 00:06:45,600 needed refrigeration also got to fly so 196 00:06:50,629 --> 00:06:47,759 now instead of 12 experiments going up 197 00:06:52,550 --> 00:06:50,639 we have 15 and so everyone's satisfied 198 00:06:54,790 --> 00:06:52,560 and they the students get to participate 199 00:06:56,629 --> 00:06:54,800 in a historic launch to space station 200 00:06:59,029 --> 00:06:56,639 and the first commercial cargo vehicle 201 00:07:00,629 --> 00:06:59,039 to dock from the u.s so 202 00:07:02,309 --> 00:07:00,639 do all of them come back do they all 203 00:07:04,390 --> 00:07:02,319 have to have samples that have to come 204 00:07:06,230 --> 00:07:04,400 back to be to be examined not all of 205 00:07:08,469 --> 00:07:06,240 them need to come back to have samples 206 00:07:10,469 --> 00:07:08,479 of the majority of them do and that's 207 00:07:12,550 --> 00:07:10,479 also critical for our investigators and 208 00:07:15,350 --> 00:07:12,560 that's why we're excited about spacex 209 00:07:17,270 --> 00:07:15,360 because spacex represents 210 00:07:19,350 --> 00:07:17,280 our nation's capability now of getting 211 00:07:21,830 --> 00:07:19,360 any kind of return of samples from space 212 00:07:23,589 --> 00:07:21,840 station and so although these 213 00:07:26,070 --> 00:07:23,599 investigations won't come back on space 214 00:07:28,230 --> 00:07:26,080 station won't come back on spacex 215 00:07:30,870 --> 00:07:28,240 they'll come back later on soyuz we do 216 00:07:32,070 --> 00:07:30,880 need the samples returned so they want 217 00:07:34,870 --> 00:07:32,080 to look at you know how the fish 218 00:07:36,150 --> 00:07:34,880 developed the returns capabilities the 219 00:07:37,589 --> 00:07:36,160 return requirements i should say of 220 00:07:39,029 --> 00:07:37,599 these experiments don't require 221 00:07:42,469 --> 00:07:39,039 refrigeration so they are going to come 222 00:07:43,909 --> 00:07:42,479 back on a soyuz but in general spacex 223 00:07:45,589 --> 00:07:43,919 in terms of science we're excited 224 00:07:47,110 --> 00:07:45,599 because it because those will that will 225 00:07:49,029 --> 00:07:47,120 require code storage capabilities we'll 226 00:07:50,469 --> 00:07:49,039 get that in the future there will be 227 00:07:53,029 --> 00:07:50,479 other kids in the future that'll get 228 00:07:55,749 --> 00:07:53,039 this opportunity yeah so they just 229 00:07:57,270 --> 00:07:55,759 completed a second round of selection 230 00:07:59,749 --> 00:07:57,280 for the mission two because this is 231 00:08:01,589 --> 00:07:59,759 called mission 1 station mission 2 is 232 00:08:03,510 --> 00:08:01,599 going to be launched to station in the 233 00:08:05,029 --> 00:08:03,520 fall so those have been selected and 234 00:08:07,830 --> 00:08:05,039 just at the end of april there's been 235 00:08:09,589 --> 00:08:07,840 another call for proposals 236 00:08:11,510 --> 00:08:09,599 for students who are interested in 237 00:08:14,550 --> 00:08:11,520 flying mission 3 and mission three is 238 00:08:17,029 --> 00:08:14,560 expected to launch in uh the spring of 239 00:08:19,909 --> 00:08:17,039 next year so there's one opportunity 240 00:08:23,510 --> 00:08:19,919 after another and from what i've read 241 00:08:24,629 --> 00:08:23,520 this program makes it really really um i 242 00:08:26,790 --> 00:08:24,639 wouldn't say easy because you still have 243 00:08:29,029 --> 00:08:26,800 to compete but if you're interested they 244 00:08:30,869 --> 00:08:29,039 accept all proposals all ideas from 245 00:08:32,949 --> 00:08:30,879 across the range so nothing is off the 246 00:08:34,469 --> 00:08:32,959 table and they do their best to 247 00:08:36,389 --> 00:08:34,479 accommodate and get you up there if 248 00:08:37,430 --> 00:08:36,399 you're selected so they really really 249 00:08:39,269 --> 00:08:37,440 have 250 00:08:40,469 --> 00:08:39,279 a serious stake in this for the students 251 00:08:41,909 --> 00:08:40,479 and 252 00:08:43,350 --> 00:08:41,919 i can't wait to see the results that 253 00:08:45,509 --> 00:08:43,360 come back frankly 254 00:08:46,550 --> 00:08:45,519 and then on another topic it was three 255 00:08:48,790 --> 00:08:46,560 years ago 256 00:08:51,190 --> 00:08:48,800 just next week the time that expedition 257 00:08:54,310 --> 00:08:51,200 20 began right when the station expanded 258 00:08:56,470 --> 00:08:54,320 to a full-time crew of six people have 259 00:08:58,710 --> 00:08:56,480 you seen a significant change in the 260 00:09:01,990 --> 00:08:58,720 amount of science work that crew members 261 00:09:03,910 --> 00:09:02,000 are are getting through since the crew's 262 00:09:05,910 --> 00:09:03,920 size has doubled yes the significant 263 00:09:07,350 --> 00:09:05,920 change our office is kept really really 264 00:09:08,870 --> 00:09:07,360 busy i've been in the office for three 265 00:09:10,710 --> 00:09:08,880 years right around when that point 266 00:09:12,389 --> 00:09:10,720 started and i've seen uh the 267 00:09:14,870 --> 00:09:12,399 capabilities increase in the in the 268 00:09:17,030 --> 00:09:14,880 number of crew hours in fact if i had to 269 00:09:19,350 --> 00:09:17,040 to couch it i'd say a little over two 270 00:09:21,910 --> 00:09:19,360 times as much as getting done on station 271 00:09:24,470 --> 00:09:21,920 in terms of research from the crew 272 00:09:26,150 --> 00:09:24,480 and our office is over two times as busy 273 00:09:28,230 --> 00:09:26,160 and we're all excited so i know i've 274 00:09:30,389 --> 00:09:28,240 seen it firsthand the ramp up of the of 275 00:09:32,790 --> 00:09:30,399 the number of investigations the quality 276 00:09:33,910 --> 00:09:32,800 of the investigations the organization 277 00:09:35,110 --> 00:09:33,920 of the investigations and the 278 00:09:36,949 --> 00:09:35,120 communication with the principal 279 00:09:39,509 --> 00:09:36,959 investigators so it's been a real 280 00:09:41,829 --> 00:09:39,519 exciting three years is there a way to 281 00:09:43,990 --> 00:09:41,839 characterize the quality of that 282 00:09:46,550 --> 00:09:44,000 increased quantity yeah everybody wants 283 00:09:48,870 --> 00:09:46,560 to know you know what station doing for 284 00:09:52,070 --> 00:09:48,880 for us and it's hard to characterize the 285 00:09:54,150 --> 00:09:52,080 quality because it the results keep 286 00:09:57,030 --> 00:09:54,160 coming in in different areas so human 287 00:09:59,509 --> 00:09:57,040 health earth observation and 288 00:10:00,550 --> 00:09:59,519 education and you know materials 289 00:10:02,710 --> 00:10:00,560 improvements 290 00:10:04,949 --> 00:10:02,720 and and and now that assembly is 291 00:10:06,550 --> 00:10:04,959 complete and we're facing full-time use 292 00:10:08,389 --> 00:10:06,560 of station 293 00:10:10,470 --> 00:10:08,399 the results come in piece by piece and 294 00:10:12,710 --> 00:10:10,480 we do our best to communicate them and 295 00:10:14,069 --> 00:10:12,720 each one has its own value to the public 296 00:10:15,750 --> 00:10:14,079 and so 297 00:10:18,230 --> 00:10:15,760 so really i think what we're going to 298 00:10:20,069 --> 00:10:18,240 look ahead towards is the next eight 299 00:10:21,910 --> 00:10:20,079 years of utilization we're in the decade 300 00:10:24,150 --> 00:10:21,920 of utilization so even in that first 10 301 00:10:26,230 --> 00:10:24,160 years of assembly we did get amazing 302 00:10:27,829 --> 00:10:26,240 results they're trickling in just from 303 00:10:29,190 --> 00:10:27,839 that first 10 years even though we were 304 00:10:30,710 --> 00:10:29,200 busy with assembly and it's just like 305 00:10:33,190 --> 00:10:30,720 apollo we're still seeing results from 306 00:10:35,590 --> 00:10:33,200 apollo so hard to characterize all of 307 00:10:37,509 --> 00:10:35,600 that they're just still coming in 308 00:10:39,590 --> 00:10:37,519 we are on our office definitely get a 309 00:10:41,670 --> 00:10:39,600 grasp of all the super cool results that 310 00:10:44,150 --> 00:10:41,680 keep coming in and we're busy compiling 311 00:10:45,350 --> 00:10:44,160 them and communicating them and 312 00:10:47,430 --> 00:10:45,360 and you know making sure the public 313 00:10:49,509 --> 00:10:47,440 knows how they're uh they're beneficial 314 00:10:51,670 --> 00:10:49,519 to them as well there's an event coming 315 00:10:53,350 --> 00:10:51,680 up soon that we're going to do that to 316 00:10:55,670 --> 00:10:53,360 uh to give everybody a chance to learn 317 00:10:57,430 --> 00:10:55,680 more about science tell us about the the 318 00:10:59,829 --> 00:10:57,440 uh space station research and 319 00:11:01,350 --> 00:10:59,839 development conference in june yeah it's 320 00:11:03,110 --> 00:11:01,360 pretty much a dream event for 321 00:11:05,670 --> 00:11:03,120 investigators who have ever done or 322 00:11:07,430 --> 00:11:05,680 wanted to do anything in space um 323 00:11:09,910 --> 00:11:07,440 it is a conference that will be june 324 00:11:12,069 --> 00:11:09,920 26th through the 28th in denver uh 325 00:11:14,550 --> 00:11:12,079 sponsored co-sponsored by 326 00:11:17,030 --> 00:11:14,560 kasis the national laboratory 327 00:11:18,870 --> 00:11:17,040 management office and the uh american 328 00:11:20,710 --> 00:11:18,880 astronautical society and it's the first 329 00:11:23,110 --> 00:11:20,720 ever conference where we'll pull 330 00:11:24,790 --> 00:11:23,120 together all of the major uh principal 331 00:11:27,110 --> 00:11:24,800 investigators involved in major results 332 00:11:28,949 --> 00:11:27,120 on space station not just to say look 333 00:11:30,550 --> 00:11:28,959 what i did look what benefits you 334 00:11:32,389 --> 00:11:30,560 although certainly we want to hear the 335 00:11:34,310 --> 00:11:32,399 benefits but also to share lessons 336 00:11:35,829 --> 00:11:34,320 learned right in science you really want 337 00:11:37,509 --> 00:11:35,839 to be able to talk about what worked and 338 00:11:39,030 --> 00:11:37,519 what didn't work and in space there's a 339 00:11:41,110 --> 00:11:39,040 lot that doesn't work and we want to be 340 00:11:42,949 --> 00:11:41,120 able to communicate that we'll also have 341 00:11:46,150 --> 00:11:42,959 an opportunity in that 342 00:11:47,990 --> 00:11:46,160 meeting to bring on potential new 343 00:11:49,670 --> 00:11:48,000 investigators so if you're a new 344 00:11:50,870 --> 00:11:49,680 investigator you're thinking about doing 345 00:11:52,069 --> 00:11:50,880 something on space station there are 346 00:11:53,190 --> 00:11:52,079 workshops that are going to be held 347 00:11:55,750 --> 00:11:53,200 there 348 00:11:58,230 --> 00:11:55,760 to tell you how to do it so it's uh it's 349 00:12:00,389 --> 00:11:58,240 going to be a pretty busy amazing 350 00:12:01,269 --> 00:12:00,399 wonderfully 351 00:12:04,069 --> 00:12:01,279 learning 352 00:12:05,030 --> 00:12:04,079 experience at this conference so i think 353 00:12:06,389 --> 00:12:05,040 if you're interested you should 354 00:12:09,110 --> 00:12:06,399 definitely get out there that's late 355 00:12:11,269 --> 00:12:09,120 june in denver is there a

your student experiment up as part of 359 00:12:27,670 --> 00:12:21,760 the ssep program you should go to let's 360 00:12:31,590 --> 00:12:29,509 and if you missed that if you google 361 00:12:33,350 --> 00:12:31,600 ssep it's the first thing that pops up 362 00:12:35,509 --> 00:12:33,360 at the top of your search list sure you 363 00:12:36,949 --> 00:12:35,519 could go to nasa.gov and go to space 364 00:12:38,710 --> 00:12:36,959 station in the science section that's 365 00:12:40,230 --> 00:12:38,720 right find the address always come visit 366 00:12:42,069 --> 00:12:40,240 us in the science section we're there 367 00:12:44,069 --> 00:12:42,079 yes tara thanks very much thank you dr
