1
00:00:05,789 --> 00:00:04,499
as we know the space station is it's a

2
00:00:07,980 --> 00:00:05,799
closed environment so it's been up there

3
00:00:10,140 --> 00:00:07,990
for 16 years now so there's lots of

4
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:10,150
there's bacteria there are fungi

5
00:00:19,439 --> 00:00:17,890
microbes he knows is a device we have

6
00:00:22,230 --> 00:00:19,449
we've built that can go around and

7
00:00:28,140 --> 00:00:22,240
detect in different areas microbial

8
00:00:30,659 --> 00:00:28,150
content it's interesting from a

9
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:30,669
scientific standpoint we can look at the

10
00:00:35,550 --> 00:00:33,010
floor and the fauna of the space station

11
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:35,560
and see how it's changing how things are

12
00:00:38,940 --> 00:00:37,810
becoming more virulence or or evolving

13
00:00:40,110 --> 00:00:38,950
and on the other side it's just

14
00:00:41,580 --> 00:00:40,120
interesting from a public health

15
00:00:43,050 --> 00:00:41,590
standpoint understand what the

16
00:00:45,420 --> 00:00:43,060
environment is but the cool thing with

17
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:45,430
this as well is it's also done with

18
00:00:49,350 --> 00:00:47,290
support from companies on ground who use

19
00:00:52,170 --> 00:00:49,360
this technology in hospitals or other

20
00:00:53,940 --> 00:00:52,180
settings on ground so we're also this

21
00:00:55,590 --> 00:00:53,950
project has many iterations it started

22
00:00:57,810 --> 00:00:55,600
with a basic model and it's constantly

23
00:01:04,770 --> 00:00:57,820
expanding to address different types of

24
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:04,780
samples basically it's a long tube with

25
00:01:10,050 --> 00:01:08,290
it's got a sensor sets an electronic box

26
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:10,060
and there's a few different nozzles so

27
00:01:14,220 --> 00:01:12,730
one is very easy to attach to a flat

28
00:01:16,950 --> 00:01:14,230
surface like the front of a rack looks

29
00:01:18,660 --> 00:01:16,960
like a huge suction cup and then another

30
00:01:21,510 --> 00:01:18,670
attachment to reach behind the racks is

31
00:01:26,290 --> 00:01:21,520
a long nozzle also with a little knob on

32
00:01:31,780 --> 00:01:28,990
I think now it's interesting going to

33
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:31,790
talk to commercial users is that people

34
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:33,770
are excited that they can now use it and

35
00:01:37,090 --> 00:01:35,930
access it because for so long it was not

36
00:01:38,830 --> 00:01:37,100
something that was accessible to

37
00:01:40,030 --> 00:01:38,840
everybody and I think that's really

38
00:01:42,670 --> 00:01:40,040
changing now and that's really exciting

39
00:01:44,470 --> 00:01:42,680
and I think that will be a huge impetus

40
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:44,480
for even new developments that we never
