here to test this model in 51 00:01:59,350 --> 00:01:57,200 order to determine the rocket's 52 00:02:01,749 --> 00:01:59,360 performance on its race to space through 53 00:02:03,350 --> 00:02:01,759 the atmosphere in order to do this we've 54 00:02:05,830 --> 00:02:03,360 placed the model in this huge wind 55 00:02:08,630 --> 00:02:05,840 tunnel capable of speeds of over 900 56 00:02:10,309 --> 00:02:08,640 miles an hour at that speed a football 57 00:02:12,070 --> 00:02:10,319 can be thrown from one end zone to the 58 00:02:16,309 --> 00:02:12,080 other in less than one quarter of a 59

00:03:28,239 building this was home to the saturn v 86 00:03:33,270 --> 00:03:31,120 rockets and the space shuttle and is 87 00:03:36,470 --> 00:03:33,280 currently being modified to support a 88 00:03:38,149 --> 00:03:36,480 host of rockets including the sls rocket 89 00:03:39,509 --> 00:03:38,159 that will take our astronauts to the 90 00:03:43,110 --> 00:03:39,519 planet mars 91 00:03:46,149 --> 00:03:43,120 did you know that this facility is 525 92 00:03:48,710 --> 00:03:46,159 feet high that's nearly double the 93 00:03:50,869 --> 00:03:48,720 length of the nrg stadium in houston 94 00:03:53,830 --> 00:03:50,879 where the big game will be played not 95 00:03:55,990 --> 00:03:53,840 even a pro football player can hunt pass 96 00:03:58,550 --> 00:03:56,000 or kick their

center launch pad 39b now 100 00:04:06,630 --> 00:04:05,200 it's a clean path built for flexibility 101 00:04:08,789 --> 00:04:06,640 that means that every rocket that 102 00:04:10,710 --> 00:04:08,799 launches from here including the sls 103 00:04:12,229 --> 00:04:10,720 will come over with its own launch tower 104 00:04:15,509 --> 00:04:12,239 the pad will then provide everything it 105 00:04:17,349 --> 00:04:15,519 needs power water flame trench and a 106 00:04:19,830 --> 00:04:17,359 great location to launch from launch pad 107 00:04:22,629 --> 00:04:19,840 39b helping nasa's

from ames research 122 00:04:53,030 --> 00:04:50,960 center in silicon valley behind me is 123 00:04:54,950 --> 00:04:53,040 the world's largest wind tunnel it's big 124 00:04:56,950 --> 00:04:54,960 enough to test full-size aircraft as 125 00:04:59,030 --> 00:04:56,960 well as semi-trucks and has recently 126 00:05:02,310 --> 00:04:59,040 been used to test parachutes for nasa's 127 00:05:04,310 --> 00:05:02,320 mars landers oh and by the way the air 128 00:05:08,390 --> 00:05:04,320 intake of the wind tunnel is larger than 129 00:05:12,870 --> 00:05:10,550 hi i'm sydney doe i'm an engineer 130 00:05:15,110 --> 00:05:12,880 working on future mars mission concepts 131 00:05:16,390 --> 00:05:15,120 i'm here at the mars yard at jpl have 132 00:05:17,990 --> 00:05:16,400 you ever wondered what it'd be like to 133 00:05:20,230 --> 00:05:18,000 throw a football on mars 134 00:05:22,230 --> 00:05:20,240 on mars gravity is about a third of what 135 00:05:24,230 --> 00:05:22,240 it is on earth so if you threw a 136 00:05:25,830 --> 00:05:24,240 football on mars it would spend three 137 00:05:29,029 --> 00:05:25,840 times longer in the air and go three 138 00:05:31,830 --> 00:05:29,990 hi 139 00:05:34,629 --> 00:05:31,840 here at the goddard space flight center 140 00:05:37,590 --> 00:05:34,639 in greenbelt maryland we built and are 141 00:05:40,310 --> 00:05:37,600 currently testing the most advanced and 142 00:05:43,110 --> 00:05:40,320 largest space telescope ever constructed 143 00:05:45,510 --> 00:05:43,120 the james webb space telescope 144 00:05:48,150 --> 00:05:45,520 it's roughly the size of the red zone on 145 00:05:50,230 --> 00:05:48,160 a football field you might even call it 146 00:05:52,629 --> 00:05:50,240 the infrared zone 147 00:05:56,150 --> 00:05:52,639 it will weigh a couple hundred pounds 148 00:05:58,309 --> 00:05:56,160 more than your average football team 149 00:06:00,629 --> 00:05:58,319 in a few months we will pack and ship 150 00:06:03,029 --> 00:06:00,639 the telescope element that is inside 151 00:06:06,309 --> 00:06:03,039 this tent to the johnson space center 152 00:06:08,870 --> 00:06:06,319 located in houston texas for testing in 153 00:06:13,029 --> 00:06:08,880 the giant space environment simulator 154 00:06:16,550 --> 00:06:14,710 once the telescope is launched we'll 155 00:06:18,230 --> 00:06:16,560 control the spacecraft and download its 156 00:06:19,830 --> 00:06:18,240 science data from here 157 00:06:23,830 --> 00:06:19,840 web mission and operations control 158 00:06:28,390 --> 00:06:25,830 northrop
