1 00:00:03,410 --> 00:00:25,189 [Music] 2 00:00:31,189 --> 00:00:26,710 welcome to the international space 3 00:00:33,430 --> 00:00:31,199 station i'm astronaut aki hoshide 4 00:00:35,030 --> 00:00:33,440 i'm astronaut megan macarthur today 5 00:00:36,870 --> 00:00:35,040 we're going to discuss how engineers 6 00:00:41,110 --> 00:00:36,880 design space station modules so we can 7 00:00:48,630 --> 00:00:43,830 what is volume glad you asked let's go 8 00:00:53,189 --> 00:00:50,950 area is defined as the two-dimensional 9 00:00:56,069 --> 00:00:53,199 space occupied by a flat shape or 10 00:00:58,670 --> 00:00:56,079 surface of an object whereas volume is 11 00:01:01,270 --> 00:00:58,680 the amount of space occupied inside a 12 00:01:03,430 --> 00:01:01,280 three-dimensional object 13 00:01:05,109 --> 00:01:03,440 length times width will give you the 14 00:01:09,270 --> 00:01:05,119 area of a square 15 00:01:10,550 --> 00:01:09,280 that by its height to get the volume of 16 00:01:15,749 --> 00:01:10,560 a cube 17 00:01:17,109 --> 00:01:15,759 meters long by two meters wide by two 18 00:01:19,109 --> 00:01:17,119 meters high 19 00:01:21,350 --> 00:01:19,119 multiply those dimensions and you get 20 00:01:23,109 --> 00:01:21,360 eight cubic meters of volume 21 00:01:24,070 --> 00:01:23,119 but that's only one way to calculate 22 00:01:26,789 --> 00:01:24,080 volume 23 00:01:28,630 --> 00:01:26,799 cones cylinders and spheres all have 24 00:01:29,749 --> 00:01:28,640 different formulas to calculate their 25 00:01:32,149 --> 00:01:29,759 volumes 26 00:01:34,310 --> 00:01:32,159 to calculate the volume of a cylinder we 27 00:01:37,190 --> 00:01:34,320 take the area of the circle 28 00:01:39,270 --> 00:01:37,200 pi times the radius squared and multiply 29 00:01:41,030 --> 00:01:39,280 that by the length of the cylinder 30 00:01:44,069 --> 00:01:41,040 in the destiny module we have a 31 00:01:47,910 --> 00:01:44,079 pressurized volume of approximately 106 32 00:01:49,749 --> 00:01:47,920 cubic meters or 3 700 cubic feet 33 00:01:51,270 --> 00:01:49,759 that's a lot of space for us to live and 34 00:01:53,590 --> 00:01:51,280 work 35 00:01:56,310 --> 00:01:53,600 destiny is the primary research lab for 36 00:01:59,270 --> 00:01:56,320 us payloads supporting a wide range of 37 00:02:02,069 --> 00:01:59,280 experiments and studies contributing to 38 00:02:04,389 --> 00:02:02,079 health safety and quality of life for 39 00:02:06,789 --> 00:02:04,399 people all over the world engineers 40 00:02:08,949 --> 00:02:06,799 designed these cylindrical modules for 41 00:02:10,920 --> 00:02:08,959 astronauts to utilize the entire 42 00:02:12,150 --> 00:02:10,930 three-dimensional space 43 00:02:13,990 --> 00:02:12,160 [Music] 44 00:02:16,229 --> 00:02:14,000 so you've learned that destiny is a 45 00:02:17,910 --> 00:02:16,239 cylindrical shaped pressurized module 46 00:02:19,910 --> 00:02:17,920 but inside the space you can see that 47 00:02:22,070 --> 00:02:19,920 our interior space is a little bit more 48 00:02:25,190 --> 00:02:22,080 like a square so these racks are 49 00:02:27,750 --> 00:02:25,200 designed to fit against the walls of the 50 00:02:30,229 --> 00:02:27,760 circular cylindrical module and so the 51 00:02:32,470 --> 00:02:30,239 back of the rack is curved and the front 52 00:02:34,070 --> 00:02:32,480 of the rack is straight and so we can 53 00:02:35,830 --> 00:02:34,080 keep a variety of different kinds of 54 00:02:38,070 --> 00:02:35,840 experiments in different racks and we 55 00:02:41,430 --> 00:02:38,080 can also use the ceiling and the floor 56 00:02:42,949 --> 00:02:41,440 just as easily as if it were a wall so 57 00:02:48,869 --> 00:02:42,959 one of the places that we store some of 58 00:02:52,710 --> 00:02:50,550 you see we have these different kinds of 59 00:02:53,910 --> 00:02:52,720 bags that we store things in in these 60 00:02:55,990 --> 00:02:53,920 different 61 00:02:58,550 --> 00:02:56,000 kinds of cupboards 62 00:03:01,030 --> 00:02:58,560 we also can keep our medical kit up here 63 00:03:02,630 --> 00:03:01,040 out of the way so if anybody gets a cut 64 00:03:04,229 --> 00:03:02,640 or a scraper needs some medicine we have 65 00:03:05,670 --> 00:03:04,239 different packs in here that have all 66 00:03:08,869 --> 00:03:05,680 the different things that we might need 67 00:03:13,589 --> 00:03:11,430 i can also use space in the floor we 68 00:03:15,509 --> 00:03:13,599 actually have a window that's in our 69 00:03:31,910 --> 00:03:15,519 floor that looks straight down onto the 70 00:03:34,710 --> 00:03:33,350 i hope you learned a little bit about 71 00:03:36,470 --> 00:03:34,720 the importance of engineering and 72 00:03:38,630 --> 00:03:36,480 utilizing volume aboard the space 73 00:03:40,550 --> 00:03:38,640 station today use the corresponding 74 00:03:42,470 --> 00:03:40,560 classroom connection to learn more about 75 00:03:44,390 --> 00:03:42,480 area and volume and challenge yourself 76 00:03:47,670 --> 00:03:44,400 to redesign your own home and classroom 77 00:03:50,229 --> 00:03:47,680 for life and microgravity 78 00:03:53,190 --> 00:03:50,239 maybe one day you will be an engineer 79 00:03:56,140 --> 00:03:53,200 designing rooms for us up here in space 80 00:04:10,070 --> 00:03:56,150 see you next time 81 00:04:18,870 --> 00:04:12,650 subscribe for more space
