00:00:04,460 --> 00:00:08,280
"WE HAVE A LIFTOFF OF THE
H-IIB LAUNCH VEHICLE NUMBER 7

2
00:00:08,346 --> 00:00:09,986
WITH KOUNOTORI 7 ABOARD,

3
00:00:10,596 --> 00:00:13,026
FROM THE JAXA TANEGASHIMA
SPACE CENTER."

4
00:00:13,866 --> 00:00:16,016
WELCOME TO SPACE TO
GROUND, I'M ISIDRO REYNA.

5
00:00:16,436 --> 00:00:19,776
THIS WEEK, THE JAPANESE
HTV-7 CARGO VEHICLE ARRIVED

6
00:00:19,776 --> 00:00:21,326
AT THE INTERNATIONAL
SPACE STATION.

7
00:00:22,436 --> 00:00:25,136
THE SUPPLY SHIP LAUNCHED
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 22ND

8
00:00:25,136 --> 00:00:28,216
FROM JAPAN, LOADED WITH MORE
THAN FIVE TONS OF NEW SCIENCE

9
00:00:28,216 --> 00:00:30,096
AND SUPPLIES DESTINED
FOR THE CREW.

10
00:00:30,576 --> 00:00:32,846
THE VEHICLE WAS CAPTURED
BY ASTRONAUTS ON STATION

11
00:00:32,846 --> 00:00:35,066
ON THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27TH.

12
00:00:35,066 --> 00:00:37,336
IN THE VEHICLE WERE SPARE
PARTS AND EXPERIMENTS,

13
00:00:37,336 --> 00:00:40,346
INCLUDING AN INVESTIGATION
INTO THE EFFECT OF MICROGRAVITY

14
00:00:40,346 --> 00:00:43,056
ON BONE MARROW AND NEW
BATTERIES FOR THE SPACE STATION.

15
00:00:43,586 --> 00:00:47,176
ONE OF THE CRITICAL PAYLOADS
INSIDE THE HTV-7 WAS THE LIFE

16
00:00:47,176 --> 00:00:48,416
SCIENCES GLOVEBOX.

17
00:00:49,266 --> 00:00:52,326
THE NEW FACILITY WILL ENABLE
RESEARCH TO ADVANCE HUMAN HEALTH

18
00:00:52,326 --> 00:00:53,696
ON EARTH AND IN SPACE.

19
00:00:54,156 --> 00:00:56,036
ROUGHLY THE SIZE OF
A LARGE FISH TANK,

20
00:00:56,276 --> 00:00:59,436
THE LIFE SCIENCES GLOVEBOX IS
OFFICIALLY THE LARGEST FLIGHT

21
00:00:59,436 --> 00:01:02,296
HARDWARE EVER LAUNCHED IN A
"SOFT-STOWED" CONFIGURATION,

22
00:01:02,426 --> 00:01:05,286
IN WHICH THE EQUIPMENT IS PACKED
SECURELY IN PROTECTIVE FOAM.

23
00:01:05,906 --> 00:01:08,736
THE GLOVEBOX WILL BE TRANSFERRED
IN THE JAPANESE "KIBO" MODULE,

24
00:01:08,886 --> 00:01:10,936
WHERE UP TO TWO CREW
MEMBERS CAN CONDUCT ONE

25
00:01:10,936 --> 00:01:12,776
OR MORE EXPERIMENTS
SIMULTANEOUSLY.

26
00:01:13,156 --> 00:01:16,176
THIS VERSATILE FACILITY NOT
ONLY WILL HELP US BETTER PROTECT

27
00:01:16,176 --> 00:01:18,686
HUMAN EXPLORERS ON LONG
VOYAGES INTO DEEP SPACE,

28
00:01:18,946 --> 00:01:20,546
BUT IT ALSO COULD AID MEDICAL

29
00:01:20,660 --> 00:01:23,500
AND SCIENTIFIC ADVANCES
BENEFITING THE WHOLE WORLD.

30
00:01:24,740 --> 00:01:25,240
"ARE YOU READY?"

31
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:26,120
"READY!"

32
00:01:26,740 --> 00:01:27,640
"LOOK AT THE HORIZON."

33
00:01:27,980 --> 00:01:28,580
"I'M LOOKING!"

34
00:01:31,020 --> 00:01:34,940
NASA'S JOSH CASSADA AND BOEING
ASTRONAUT CHRIS FERGUSON WENT

35
00:01:34,946 --> 00:01:36,416
THROUGH WATER SURVIVAL TRAINING

36
00:01:36,416 --> 00:01:38,376
AT NASA'S NEUTRAL
BUOYANCY LABORATORY,

37
00:01:38,806 --> 00:01:40,726
THIS IS JUST ONE
FORM OF PREPARATION

38
00:01:41,046 --> 00:01:43,626
AS ASTRONAUTS TRAIN TOWARDS
THE FIRST CREWED LAUNCHES

39
00:01:43,626 --> 00:01:45,666
ON SPACECRAFT FROM
BOEING AND SPACEX.

40
00:01:46,106 --> 00:01:49,936
AS ALWAYS, HEAD OVER TO
NASA.GOV/COMMERCIALCREW FOR ALL

41
00:01:49,936 --> 00:01:52,296
OF THE LATEST UPDATES FROM
THIS EXCITING NEW CHAPTER

42
00:01:52,296 --> 00:01:53,176
IN HUMAN SPACEFLIGHT.

43
00:01:54,006 --> 00:01:56,016
THIS WEEK'S QUESTION
IS ABOUT COMMUNICATION.

44
00:01:56,266 --> 00:01:59,246
AMELIA ASKS, HOW OFTEN DO
THE ASTRONAUTS HAVE CONTACT

45
00:01:59,246 --> 00:02:01,866
WITH THEIR FAMILY OR FRIENDS
-- AND IS IT COMPLICATED?

46
00:02:02,436 --> 00:02:05,376
COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN SPACE
AND EARTH HAVE IMPROVED GREATLY

47
00:02:05,376 --> 00:02:06,576
IN THE YEARS SINCE APOLLO,

48
00:02:06,806 --> 00:02:09,146
MIR AND EVEN THE EARLY
MONTHS OF THE SPACE STATION.

49
00:02:09,486 --> 00:02:12,886
BACK THEN, ASTRONAUTS COULDN'T
CONTACT THEIR FAMILIES EASILY.

50
00:02:13,246 --> 00:02:15,806
TODAY, DURING THEIR FREE
TIME, THEY HAVE ACCESS

51
00:02:15,806 --> 00:02:17,556
TO AN INTERNET PROTOCOL
TELEPHONE.

52
00:02:17,866 --> 00:02:20,916
TO USE THIS, THEY CAN DIAL A
NUMBER ON A LAPTOP COMPUTER,

53
00:02:21,046 --> 00:02:23,276
AND WITH THE HELP OF AN
ANTENNA AND SATELLITE SYSTEM,

54
00:02:23,586 --> 00:02:25,386
THEY CAN SPEAK DIRECTLY
WITH THEIR FAMILIES.

55
00:02:25,746 --> 00:02:27,536
THEY CAN ALSO SEND
MESSAGES BY E-MAIL.

56
00:02:28,286 --> 00:02:31,206
KEEP SENDING IN YOUR QUESTIONS
USING THE HASHTAG SPACETOGROUND,

57
00:02:31,486 --> 00:02:33,566
AND TUNE IN TO NASA TV ON OCT.

58
00:02:33,666 --> 00:02:36,666
2, AS WE WRAP UP THE YEAR
OF EDUCATION ON STATION!

59
00:02:37,476 --> 00:02:40,546
WATCH ASTRONAUT AND FORMER
CLASSROOM TEACHER RICKY ARNOLD

60
00:02:40,546 --> 00:02:43,516
ANSWER QUESTIONS ON SOCIAL
MEDIA USING THE HASHTAG
