1 00:00:07,030 --> 00:00:05,030 houston station on space to ground 2 00:00:09,190 --> 00:00:07,040 welcome to space to ground i'm shaniqua 3 00:00:11,830 --> 00:00:09,200 marine relocations launches and 4 00:00:13,910 --> 00:00:11,840 undockings oh my it was a busy week in 5 00:00:17,430 --> 00:00:13,920 space and on the ground 6 00:00:18,870 --> 00:00:17,440 engine start and liftoff a module named 7 00:00:21,269 --> 00:00:18,880 science takes flight to the 8 00:00:23,670 --> 00:00:21,279 international space station 9 00:00:26,070 --> 00:00:23,680 on wednesday july 21st the russian 10 00:00:27,509 --> 00:00:26,080 multipurpose laboratory module naiuka 11 00:00:30,150 --> 00:00:27,519 was launched into space from the 12 00:00:32,470 --> 00:00:30,160 baikonur cosmodrome nayuka will serve as 13 00:00:35,030 --> 00:00:32,480 a new science facility docking port and 14 00:00:37,350 --> 00:00:35,040 spacewalk airlock for future operations 15 00:00:39,350 --> 00:00:37,360 upon arrival nayuka will automatically 16 00:00:41,430 --> 00:00:39,360 link up to the port of the earth-facing 17 00:00:43,350 --> 00:00:41,440 side of the russian segment 18 00:00:46,069 --> 00:00:43,360 that earth-facing port is currently home 19 00:00:48,229 --> 00:00:46,079 for the russian piers airlock pierce 20 00:00:50,709 --> 00:00:48,239 along with the russian progress 77 cargo 21 00:00:52,709 --> 00:00:50,719 craft will soon undock from the station 22 00:00:54,869 --> 00:00:52,719 making room for the new module check 23 00:00:56,150 --> 00:00:54,879 nasa.gov for the latest information to 24 00:00:58,549 --> 00:00:56,160 watch live 25 00:01:00,470 --> 00:00:58,559 also this week the spacex crew 2 26 00:01:03,349 --> 00:01:00,480 astronauts shane kimbrough meghan 27 00:01:05,350 --> 00:01:03,359 macarthur aki hoshide and tomah pesquet 28 00:01:07,510 --> 00:01:05,360 boarded crew dragon endeavor for a short 29 00:01:09,190 --> 00:01:07,520 flight the spacecraft undocked from the 30 00:01:11,350 --> 00:01:09,200 forward port of the station's harmony 31 00:01:13,350 --> 00:01:11,360 module about 50 minutes later the 32 00:01:15,270 --> 00:01:13,360 spacecraft docked to the station again 33 00:01:17,910 --> 00:01:15,280 this time at the station's space-facing 34 00:01:19,990 --> 00:01:17,920 port the relocation freed up harmony's 35 00:01:22,789 --> 00:01:20,000 forward port for the docking of boeing's 36 00:01:25,270 --> 00:01:22,799 cst 100 starliner spacecraft scheduled 37 00:01:27,109 --> 00:01:25,280 for saturday july 31st and if you're 38 00:01:29,109 --> 00:01:27,119 looking for a good conversation about 39 00:01:30,950 --> 00:01:29,119 the upcoming starliner mission we invite 40 00:01:33,429 --> 00:01:30,960 you to listen to this week's houston we 41 00:01:35,350 --> 00:01:33,439 have a podcast this week's special guest 42 00:01:37,830 --> 00:01:35,360 boeing starliner flight director bob 43 00:01:39,830 --> 00:01:37,840 dempsey discusses the upcoming uncrewed 44 00:01:41,510 --> 00:01:39,840 orbital flight test 2 mission to the 45 00:01:43,190 --> 00:01:41,520 international space station for nasa's 46 00:01:45,910 --> 00:01:43,200

continues including cool flames 53 00:02:01,109 --> 00:01:59,280 investigation with gases 54 00:02:03,109 --> 00:02:01,119 cool flames flames that burn at 55 00:02:05,350 --> 00:02:03,119 extremely low temperatures are nearly 56 00:02:07,109 --> 00:02:05,360 impossible to create in earth's gravity 57 00:02:08,550 --> 00:02:07,119 however they are easily produced in the 58 00:02:10,229 --> 00:02:08,560 microgravity environment of the 59 00:02:12,470 --> 00:02:10,239 international space station 60 00:02:14,710 --> 00:02:12,480 in june aboard station spherical 61 00:02:16,949 --> 00:02:14,720 non-premix cool flames were observed 62 00:02:17,830 --> 00:02:16,959 burning gaseous fuels for the very first 63 00:02:20,630 --> 00:02:17,840 time 64 00:02:22,550 --> 00:02:20,640 non-premix cool flames created when fuel 65 00:02:25,350 --> 00:02:22,560 and oxidizer are not mixed before 66 00:02:27,030 --> 00:02:25,360 reacting were discovered in 2012 aboard 67 00:02:28,790 --> 00:02:27,040 the space station during the flame 68 00:02:30,630 --> 00:02:28,800 extinguishment studies 69 00:02:32,390 --> 00:02:30,640 cool flames are important to study 70 00:02:34,869 --> 00:02:32,400 because engine technology is trending 71 00:02:37,030 --> 00:02:34,879 toward lower temperatures the results of 72 00:02:38,790 --> 00:02:37,040 this investigation could lead to cleaner 73 00:02:40,229 --> 00:02:38,800 more efficient internal combustion 74 00:02:41,990 --> 00:02:40,239 engines 75 00:02:43,910 --> 00:02:42,000 that's space to ground for this week 76 00:02:57,430 --> 00:02:43,920 thank you so much for watching we'll see 77 00:03:06,229 --> 00:03:00,100 subscribe for more space
