00:00:10,629 --> 00:00:07,440
welcome to space to ground i'm kayla

3
00:00:12,870 --> 00:00:10,639
lafrance as 2022 reaches its halfway

4
00:00:14,629 --> 00:00:12,880
mark we are taking a look at all the

5
00:00:17,109 --> 00:00:14,639
exciting events on the orbiting

6
00:00:19,429 --> 00:00:17,119
laboratory from logistics to science

7
00:00:21,590 --> 00:00:19,439
exploration record-breaking and

8
00:00:23,670 --> 00:00:21,600
history-making missions this is our

9
00:00:25,349 --> 00:00:23,680
half-time report

10
00:00:27,589 --> 00:00:25,359
have you been following along with us

11
00:00:30,390 --> 00:00:27,599
this year if you have you would have

12
00:00:32,950 --> 00:00:30,400
seen that russian american italian and

13
00:00:36,150 --> 00:00:32,960
german astronauts have traveled to or

14
00:00:38,150 --> 00:00:36,160
from the station a total of 18 people

15
00:00:39,750 --> 00:00:38,160
have called the orbiting laboratory home

16
00:00:41,510 --> 00:00:39,760
so far this year

17
00:00:43,990 --> 00:00:41,520
three different crews have launched to

18
00:00:46,150 --> 00:00:44,000
the station including the axiom 1

19
00:00:48,950 --> 00:00:46,160
mission the first fully private

20
00:00:50,869 --> 00:00:48,960
astronaut mission to the iss the crews

21
00:00:53,189 --> 00:00:50,879
joined their fellow flyers aboard the

22
00:00:55,350 --> 00:00:53,199
station working together to continue the

23
00:00:56,869 --> 00:00:55,360
mission of scientific research and

24
00:00:59,270 --> 00:00:56,879
microgravity

25
00:01:01,830 --> 00:00:59,280
these crews have participated in a total

26
00:01:03,510 --> 00:01:01,840
of five evas in support of station

27
00:01:05,670 --> 00:01:03,520
operations this year

28
00:01:08,469 --> 00:01:05,680
two u.s spacewalks were part of the

29
00:01:11,270 --> 00:01:08,479
installation of irosa the continuing

30
00:01:13,510 --> 00:01:11,280
upgrade of the station solar arrays and

31
00:01:15,590 --> 00:01:13,520
three russian spacewalks in support of

32
00:01:18,710 --> 00:01:15,600
the new nyoka module and the

33
00:01:21,270 --> 00:01:18,720
installation of the european robotic arm

34
00:01:24,469 --> 00:01:21,280
the crews have also greeted three cargo

35
00:01:27,190 --> 00:01:24,479
vehicles which brought over 14 000

36
00:01:28,469 --> 00:01:27,200
pounds of food equipment and science to

37
00:01:30,630 --> 00:01:28,479
the iss

38
00:01:33,670 --> 00:01:30,640
and speaking of science here are some of

39
00:01:36,550 --> 00:01:33,680
the standout moments so far this year

40
00:01:38,870 --> 00:01:36,560
recent scientific investigations include

41
00:01:41,990 --> 00:01:38,880
skin aging and tumor cells

42
00:01:44,469 --> 00:01:42,000
test of technology for oxygen production

43
00:01:45,910 --> 00:01:44,479
batteries and growing plants in the

44
00:01:47,990 --> 00:01:45,920
space environment

45
00:01:50,469 --> 00:01:48,000
earlier this year the lambda vision

46
00:01:53,350 --> 00:01:50,479
research team was able to manufacture a

47
00:01:54,469 --> 00:01:53,360
200 layer film for the first time aboard

48
00:01:56,709 --> 00:01:54,479
the station

49
00:01:59,190 --> 00:01:56,719
this serves as an important step towards

50
00:02:02,149 --> 00:01:59,200
the creation of artificial retinas in

51
00:02:04,230 --> 00:02:02,159
microgravity the 12 express racks that

52
00:02:05,990 --> 00:02:04,240
support many of the science experiments

53
00:02:09,350 --> 00:02:06,000
on the space station reached an

54
00:02:12,390 --> 00:02:09,360
accumulated 1 million hours of total

55
00:02:15,030 --> 00:02:12,400
power run time while the acme series of

56
00:02:18,630 --> 00:02:15,040
combustion investigations was retired

57
00:02:20,949 --> 00:02:18,640
after lighting more than 1500 flames and

58
00:02:22,670 --> 00:02:20,959
taking a page from science fiction we

59
00:02:26,150 --> 00:02:22,680
learned that the technology of

60
00:02:28,949 --> 00:02:26,160
holoportation was used to teleport 3d

61
00:02:29,990 --> 00:02:28,959
holograms of doctors onto the space

62
00:02:31,830 --> 00:02:30,000
station

63
00:02:34,150 --> 00:02:31,840
the first half of the year has ushered

64
00:02:36,949 --> 00:02:34,160
in several new history making moments

65
00:02:39,350 --> 00:02:36,959
and milestones for the space station

66
00:02:41,350 --> 00:02:39,360
astronaut mark vande high set a new

67
00:02:43,470 --> 00:02:41,360
record for longest continuous space

68
00:02:46,949 --> 00:02:43,480
flight by an american

69
00:02:49,110 --> 00:02:46,959
355 days what we learn from his extended

70
00:02:51,509 --> 00:02:49,120
mission will help us keep astronauts

71
00:02:52,949 --> 00:02:51,519
safe and healthy on future deep space

72
00:02:55,670 --> 00:02:52,959
missions

73
00:02:56,790 --> 00:02:55,680
and liftoff starliner is headed back to

74
00:02:59,190 --> 00:02:56,800
space

75
00:03:02,710 --> 00:02:59,200
we also saw the successful test flight

76
00:03:05,110 --> 00:03:02,720
of starliner the boeing oft2 mission was

77
00:03:08,309 --> 00:03:05,120
the latest step on the way to the first

78
00:03:11,110 --> 00:03:08,319
crewed flight of the new spacecraft

79
00:03:13,589 --> 00:03:11,120
the second half of 2022 will be just as

80
00:03:15,910 --> 00:03:13,599
packed with exciting new events

81
00:03:18,949 --> 00:03:15,920
we'll see the return to earth of spacex

82
00:03:21,190 --> 00:03:18,959
crew 4 the launch of crew 5 from florida

83
00:03:23,670 --> 00:03:21,200
and the launch of a new soyuz crew

84
00:03:26,070 --> 00:03:23,680
beginning their journey to the iss

85
00:03:28,470 --> 00:03:26,080
several spacewalks are also on the book

86
00:03:31,190 --> 00:03:28,480
through the fall as well as more cargo

87
00:03:34,070 --> 00:03:31,200
vehicles from both spacex and northrop

88
00:03:37,190 --> 00:03:34,080
grumman follow us on social media or

89
00:03:39,509 --> 00:03:37,200
head over to nasa tv the nasa app or the

90
00:03:41,430 --> 00:03:39,519
agency's website for what should be an

91
00:03:43,350 --> 00:03:41,440
exciting six months

92
00:03:45,270 --> 00:03:43,360
and that's space to ground for this week

93
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:45,280
thanks for watching we'll see you next
