1 00:00:48,399 --> 00:01:04,469 so 2 00:01:08,469 --> 00:01:06,390 this week students with interest in 3 00:01:10,230 --> 00:01:08,479 engineering science math and aviation 4 00:01:12,390 --> 00:01:10,240 came together from all over the state of 5 00:01:14,149 --> 00:01:12,400 texas for the culmination of seven 6 00:01:16,870 --> 00:01:14,159 months of hard work for the texas high 7 00:01:18,550 --> 00:01:16,880 school aerospace scholars program 8 00:01:20,630 --> 00:01:18,560 mentors from nasa and the stem 9 00:01:22,230 --> 00:01:20,640 industries guided us in our projects 10 00:01:24,390 --> 00:01:22,240 focusing on crew assignments 11 00:01:26,390 --> 00:01:24,400 laboratories and tools and space 12 00:01:28,469 --> 00:01:26,400 redesign for a thousand day mission to 13 00:01:30,789 --> 00:01:28,479 mars this week gave us hands-on 14 00:01:33,270 --> 00:01:30,799 experiences that will enable us to carry 15 00:01:39,590 --> 00:01:33,280 on the legacy of deep space exploration 16 00:01:43,429 --> 00:01:41,190 we handed know exactly what needed to be 17 00:01:47,270 --> 00:01:43,439 fixed on the coolant system we designed 18 00:01:49,270 --> 00:01:47,280 a 3d printable multi-purpose tool 19 00:01:50,550 --> 00:01:49,280 the tool was modeled off of a triangular 20 00:01:52,469 --> 00:01:50,560 three chip highlighter with three 21 00:01:54,469 --> 00:01:52,479 different tools 22 00:01:56,310 --> 00:01:54,479 the trident includes three tools 23 00:01:58,709 --> 00:01:56,320 a crowbar type tool 24 00:02:01,190 --> 00:01:58,719 a sharp ice pick tool as well as a 25 00:02:02,950 --> 00:02:01,200 cutting edge and i modeled these three 26 00:02:07,990 --> 00:02:02,960 tools on a triangular truss using google 27 00:02:12,550 --> 00:02:10,309 norm chaffey a rocket scientist that 28 00:02:15,110 --> 00:02:12,560 contributed to saturn 5 29 00:02:17,670 --> 00:02:15,120 taught us under transportation computer 30 00:02:19,510 --> 00:02:17,680 systems sensors and dynamics and 31 00:02:22,949 --> 00:02:19,520 mechanics used 32 00:02:27,030 --> 00:02:25,510 this is the side now of the 33 00:02:29,030 --> 00:02:27,040 first stage 34 00:02:30,869 --> 00:02:29,040 called the s1c 35 00:02:33,030 --> 00:02:30,879 it was built by boeing it is an 36 00:02:34,949 --> 00:02:33,040 expendable stage meaning 37 00:02:40,550 --> 00:02:34,959 we use it and then it falls back into 38 00:02:44,229 --> 00:02:42,229 so chaffey explains how they use 39 00:02:46,550 --> 00:02:44,239 pyrotechnics to change from one cycle to 40 00:02:48,550 --> 00:02:46,560 the other of the saturn v 41 00:02:50,949 --> 00:02:48,560 you explain the overall process starting 42 00:02:55,350 --> 00:02:50,959 in the launching pad to once the module 43 00:02:59,990 --> 00:02:57,509 visiting the iss mission control was an 44 00:03:02,309 --> 00:03:00,000 inspiring experience as well as an honor 45 00:03:04,149 --> 00:03:02,319 for our team this visit was eye-opening 46 00:03:08,309 --> 00:03:04,159 because it demonstrated how far we have 47 00:03:11,830 --> 00:03:10,229 i think i can speak for the entire blue 48 00:03:13,990 --> 00:03:11,840 team when i say that listening to milt 49 00:03:15,750 --> 00:03:14,000 heslin speak on apollo night was one of 50 00:03:18,869 --> 00:03:15,760 the most inspiring memories we had at 51 00:03:20,390 --> 00:03:18,879 hoss the story of apollo 12 was truly a 52 00:03:22,309 --> 00:03:20,400 testament to the importance of being 53 00:03:25,030 --> 00:03:22,319 prepared to be the generation that will 54 00:03:27,110 --> 00:03:25,040 take space exploration to the next level 55 00:03:29,190 --> 00:03:27,120 that we're going today in human space 56 00:03:30,470 --> 00:03:29,200 flight you know one of these days we may 57 00:03:32,869 --> 00:03:30,480 indeed 58 00:03:34,229 --> 00:03:32,879 have what we need to send humans to mars 59 00:03:35,670 --> 00:03:34,239 for example 60 00:03:37,110 --> 00:03:35,680 and there's a good chance that if we do 61 00:03:38,470 --> 00:03:37,120 that that you all 62 00:03:40,229 --> 00:03:38,480 your age group 63 00:03:41,990 --> 00:03:40,239 you'll be right on top of it you'll be 64 00:03:43,670 --> 00:03:42,000 doing it 65 00:03:45,350 --> 00:03:43,680 the gray team was in charge of setting 66 00:03:48,149 --> 00:03:45,360 the budget and purpose of the mars 67 00:03:51,589 --> 00:03:49,670 the red team was responsible for 68 00:03:53,750 --> 00:03:51,599 designing a method to reach mars and 69 00:03:55,830 --> 00:03:53,760 return back to earth 70 00:03:57,589 --> 00:03:55,840 the white team was delegated the task of 71 00:04:00,229 --> 00:03:57,599 deciding how the crew would survive on 72 00:04:02,149 --> 00:04:00,239 mars 73 00:04:03,830 --> 00:04:02,159 and finally the blue team set the 74 00:04:08,630 --> 00:04:03,840 mission objectives and compiled a list 75 00:04:13,190 --> 00:04:10,949 the lunch with nasa employees gave all 76 00:04:15,830 --> 00:04:13,200 of us at haas the opportunity to further 77 00:04:17,749 --> 00:04:15,840 understand life at nasa for me it 78 00:04:20,069 --> 00:04:17,759 allowed for greater illustration of 79 00:04:26,550 --> 00:04:20,079 internships and co-ops available after 80 00:04:29,830 --> 00:04:27,909 we were given the task to make a 81 00:04:31,030 --> 00:04:29,840 mindstorms rover as efficiently as 82 00:04:33,110 --> 00:04:31,040 possible to 83 00:04:34,870 --> 00:04:33,120 play in a 4x4 field and pick up rocks 84 00:04:36,710 --> 00:04:34,880 and water samples we tried to make our 85 00:04:39,270 --> 00:04:36,720 rover very efficient in design and very 86 00:04:41,030 --> 00:04:39,280 reliable in programming 87 00:04:43,270 --> 00:04:41,040 it was an incredible experience to act 88 00:04:45,270 --> 00:04:43,280 as an engineer and see our ideas and 89 00:04:46,629 --> 00:04:45,280 planning come to life through our rover 90 00:04:48,150 --> 00:04:46,639 the rover was one of my favorite 91 00:04:49,909 --> 00:04:48,160 projects and it allowed us all the 92 00:04:52,870 --> 00:04:49,919 chance to see our innovations and how 93 00:04:57,110 --> 00:04:55,590 our mentor this week dr rick shering is 94 00:04:59,749 --> 00:04:57,120 a flight surgeon 95 00:05:15,590 --> 00:04:59,759 his expertise on space health issues
