00:00:09,110 --> 00:00:06,799
welcome to space to ground i'm shanique

00:00:11,190 --> 00:00:09,120
wolverine this week nasa updated

4
00:00:13,589 --> 00:00:11,200
astronaut assignments demonstrated new

5
00:00:15,270 --> 00:00:13,599
science and technology and got a look at

6
00:00:17,510 --> 00:00:15,280
a heat wave

7
00:00:19,830 --> 00:00:17,520
on thursday june 16th nasa announced

8
00:00:21,670 --> 00:00:19,840
that two nasa astronaut test pilots will

9
00:00:23,509 --> 00:00:21,680
fly aboard the agency's boeing crew

10
00:00:25,349 --> 00:00:23,519
flight test mission to the international

11
00:00:27,990 --> 00:00:25,359
space station where they will live and

12
00:00:30,470 --> 00:00:28,000
work off the earth for about two weeks

13
00:00:32,310 --> 00:00:30,480
cft commander barry butch wilmore whom

14
00:00:34,870 --> 00:00:32,320
nasa assigned to the prime crew in

15
00:00:37,190 --> 00:00:34,880
october 2020 will join nasa astronaut

16
00:00:39,190 --> 00:00:37,200
suni williams who will serve as pilot

17
00:00:41,670 --> 00:00:39,200
williams previously served as the backup

18
00:00:43,990 --> 00:00:41,680
test pilot for cft while assigned as

19
00:00:45,830 --> 00:00:44,000
commander of nasa's boeing starliner 1

20
00:00:48,470 --> 00:00:45,840
mission starliner's first post

21
00:00:50,150 --> 00:00:48,480
certification mission as cft pilot

22
00:00:52,069 --> 00:00:50,160
williams takes the place of nasa

23
00:00:55,110 --> 00:00:52,079
astronaut nicole mann originally

24
00:00:57,990 --> 00:00:55,120
assigned to the mission in 2018 nasa

25
00:01:00,869 --> 00:00:58,000
reassigned man to the hc spacex crew 5

26
00:01:02,709 --> 00:01:00,879
mission in 2021

27
00:01:05,350 --> 00:01:02,719
the hot days of summer are officially

28
00:01:08,310 --> 00:01:05,360
here in the northern hemisphere and nasa

29
00:01:10,469 --> 00:01:08,320
is monitoring the heat from above

30
00:01:12,710 --> 00:01:10,479
nasa's ecosystem spaceborne thermal

31
00:01:14,789 --> 00:01:12,720
radiometer experiment on space station

32
00:01:17,109 --> 00:01:14,799
or ecostress recorded some

33
00:01:18,710 --> 00:01:17,119
record-breaking temperatures this month

34
00:01:20,310 --> 00:01:18,720
built and managed by nasa's jet

35
00:01:22,870 --> 00:01:20,320
propulsion laboratory in southern

36
00:01:24,390 --> 00:01:22,880
california the ecostress measures the

37
00:01:25,910 --> 00:01:24,400
temperature of the ground which is

38
00:01:28,550 --> 00:01:25,920
hotter than the air temperature during

39
00:01:30,870 --> 00:01:28,560
the daytime its primary mission is to

40
00:01:32,870 --> 00:01:30,880
identify plant thresholds for water use

41
00:01:34,710 --> 00:01:32,880
and water stress giving insight into

42
00:01:37,590 --> 00:01:34,720
their ability to adapt to a warming

43
00:01:39,270 --> 00:01:37,600
climate however ecostress is also useful

44
00:01:41,109 --> 00:01:39,280
for documenting other heat related

45
00:01:43,590 --> 00:01:41,119
phenomena like patterns of heat

46
00:01:45,830 --> 00:01:43,600
absorption and retention its high

47
00:01:48,630 --> 00:01:45,840
resolution images with a pixel size of

48
00:01:50,550 --> 00:01:48,640
about 70 meters by 38 meters are a

49
00:01:51,990 --> 00:01:50,560
powerful tool for understanding our

50
00:01:53,830 --> 00:01:52,000
environment

51
00:01:56,630 --> 00:01:53,840
this week we answer the question do

52
00:01:59,270 --> 00:01:56,640
astronauts have wi-fi in space

53
00:02:01,190 --> 00:01:59,280
the expedition 67 crew participated in a

54
00:02:03,310 --> 00:02:01,200
ballisto choreography session while

55
00:02:05,190 --> 00:02:03,320
wearing the smart text 2 shirt

56
00:02:07,109 --> 00:02:05,200
ballistocardiography looks at body

57
00:02:09,669 --> 00:02:07,119
motion related to the pumping of blood

58
00:02:11,350 --> 00:02:09,679
by the heart the wireless communication

59
00:02:13,830 --> 00:02:11,360
network wireless compost ii

60
00:02:15,589 --> 00:02:13,840
investigation is to provide a flexible

61
00:02:17,670 --> 00:02:15,599
and adaptable wireless network

62
00:02:19,589 --> 00:02:17,680
infrastructure to conduct and execute

63
00:02:21,110 --> 00:02:19,599
low power low weight and wireless

64
00:02:23,350 --> 00:02:21,120
experiments on the international space

65
00:02:25,750 --> 00:02:23,360
station for this demonstration wireless

66
00:02:27,589 --> 00:02:25,760
compost 2 operates several experiments

67
00:02:29,190 --> 00:02:27,599
including an experiment to examine the

68
00:02:31,350 --> 00:02:29,200
impact of the space environment on the

69
00:02:32,869 --> 00:02:31,360
cardiovascular system

70
00:02:34,470 --> 00:02:32,879
that's space to ground for this week

71
00:02:37,470 --> 00:02:34,480
thanks for watching we'll see you next
