houston station on space to ground

2
00:00:10,470 --> 00:00:07,359
welcome to space to ground i'm kayla

3
00:00:12,470 --> 00:00:10,480
lafrance as we say hello to the new year

4
00:00:16,070 --> 00:00:12,480
the international space station is

5
00:00:19,029 --> 00:00:16,080
setting its sights to many years ahead

6
00:00:21,269 --> 00:00:19,039
nasa administrator bill nelson announced

7
00:00:23,830 --> 00:00:21,279
that the biden harris administration is

8
00:00:27,349 --> 00:00:23,840
committed to the extension of operations

9
00:00:29,429 --> 00:00:27,359
of the space station through 2030 this

10
00:00:31,589 --> 00:00:29,439
will enable continuation of

11
00:00:34,310 --> 00:00:31,599
groundbreaking research being conducted

12
00:00:36,229 --> 00:00:34,320
by nasa and our international partners

13
00:00:38,709 --> 00:00:36,239
on the orbiting laboratory through the

14
00:00:42,229 --> 00:00:38,719
rest of this decade in a statement

15
00:00:44,389 --> 00:00:42,239
posted to nasa.gov nelson said that the

16
00:00:46,869 --> 00:00:44,399
international space station is a beacon

17
00:00:49,830 --> 00:00:46,879
of peaceful international scientific

18
00:00:52,229 --> 00:00:49,840
collaboration and for more than 20 years

19
00:00:54,389 --> 00:00:52,239
has returned enormous scientific

20
00:00:57,430 --> 00:00:54,399
educational and technological

21
00:00:59,189 --> 00:00:57,440
developments to benefit humanity

22
00:01:01,830 --> 00:00:59,199
one of the current developments of for

23
00:01:04,070 --> 00:01:01,840
these space station is the manufacturing

24
00:01:06,550 --> 00:01:04,080
of super alloys

25
00:01:09,270 --> 00:01:06,560
super alloys are metal alloys with

26
00:01:12,230 --> 00:01:09,280
incredible heat resistant properties

27
00:01:14,789 --> 00:01:12,240
the turbine super alloy casting module

28
00:01:17,670 --> 00:01:14,799
is testing a commercial manufacturing

29
00:01:20,390 --> 00:01:17,680
device that processes heat resistant

30
00:01:22,710 --> 00:01:20,400
alloy parts in microgravity

31
00:01:24,710 --> 00:01:22,720
the research of these super alloys could

32
00:01:27,429 --> 00:01:24,720
improve the performance of materials

33
00:01:29,830 --> 00:01:27,439
under extremely high temperatures such

34
00:01:33,350 --> 00:01:29,840
as metals and turbine engines for

35
00:01:35,350 --> 00:01:33,360
aerospace and power generators

36
00:01:38,149 --> 00:01:35,360
so how is your new year's resolution

37
00:01:40,789 --> 00:01:38,159
