00:00:11,270 --> 00:00:09,780
a soyuz spacecraft was on the fast track

4
00:00:13,129 --> 00:00:11,280
this week when it launched to the

5
00:00:16,129 --> 00:00:13,139
International Space Station

6
00:00:18,529 --> 00:00:16,139
and liftoff a sunset start to the

00:00:20,689 --> 00:00:18,539
mission of Rubio procopia event patellen

8
00:00:23,029 --> 00:00:20,699
to the International Space Station

9
00:00:25,250 --> 00:00:23,039

10
00:00:27,410 --> 00:00:25,260
astronaut Frank Rubio and Ross Cosmos

11
00:00:29,990 --> 00:00:27,420
Cosmonaut Sergey prokopiev and Dimitri

12
00:00:31,970 --> 00:00:30,000
patellen launched aboard the soyuz ms-22

13
00:00:34,490 --> 00:00:31,980
spacecraft from the baikonur cosmodrome

14
00:00:36,170 --> 00:00:34,500
in Kazakhstan two orbits later the

15
00:00:38,690 --> 00:00:36,180
spacecraft docked to the station where

16
00:00:41,090 --> 00:00:38,700
they joined Expedition 67 Commander Oleg

17
00:00:43,610 --> 00:00:41,100
artemiev cosmonauts Denise modve and

18
00:00:45,950 --> 00:00:43,620
Sergey korsakov of Ross Cosmos as well

19
00:00:47,930 --> 00:00:45,960
as NASA astronauts Bob Heinz Chell

20
00:00:49,970 --> 00:00:47,940
Lindgren and Jessica Watkins and

21
00:00:51,410 --> 00:00:49,980

Christopher ready aboard the orbital

23
00:00:55,610 --> 00:00:53,820
Outpost the trio will spend six months

24
00:00:58,250 --> 00:00:55,620
aboard the space station conducting

25
00:01:01,490 --> 00:00:58,260
science and research investigations

26
00:01:03,470 --> 00:01:01,500
so do we have turtles in Space the

27
00:01:05,870 --> 00:01:03,480
answer may surprise you

28
00:01:08,030 --> 00:01:05,880
the arrival of Frank Rubio marks the

29
00:01:09,890 --> 00:01:08,040
fifth astronaut from NASA's 22nd class

30
00:01:12,050 --> 00:01:09,900
of astronaut candidates which is

31
00:01:14,030 --> 00:01:12,060
nicknamed The Turtles to fly to the

32
00:01:16,130 --> 00:01:14,040
International Space Station he joins

33
00:01:18,770 --> 00:01:16,140
fellow Turtles and NASA astronauts Bob

34
00:01:21,649 --> 00:01:18,780
Hines and Jessica Watkins of crew 4 on

35
00:01:23,749 --> 00:01:21,659
station NASA astronauts Kayla Baron and

36
00:01:26,090 --> 00:01:23,759
rajachari were their first two turtles

37
00:01:28,190 --> 00:01:26,100
to go to space when they flew on NASA's

38
00:01:30,230 --> 00:01:28,200
SpaceX crew 3 mission

39
00:01:32,210 --> 00:01:30,240
back inside the station the science

40
00:01:34,730 --> 00:01:32,220
continues to grow

41
00:01:36,710 --> 00:01:34,740
last week NASA astronaut Chell Lindgren

42
00:01:39,230 --> 00:01:36,720
harvested lettuce and wheat from the

43
00:01:41,330 --> 00:01:39,240
ex-roots investigation it's kind of a

44
00:01:43,190 --> 00:01:41,340
Next Generation experiment where we're

45
00:01:46,490 --> 00:01:43,200
trying to grow plants and right now we

46
00:01:48,649 --> 00:01:46,500
actually have lettuce carrots onions and

47
00:01:50,870 --> 00:01:48,659
radishes growing and we're not using

48
00:01:53,030 --> 00:01:50,880
soil we're using aeroponics aerosol

49
00:01:55,969 --> 00:01:53,040
delivered water or Hydroponics where the

50
00:01:58,069 --> 00:01:55,979
roots just sit in water the extrude's

51
00:02:00,230 --> 00:01:58,079
investigation helps to evaluate nutrient

52
00:02:01,730 --> 00:02:00,240
delivery and Recovery techniques in the

53
00:02:03,830 --> 00:02:01,740
microgravity environment of the

54
00:02:06,410 --> 00:02:03,840
International Space Station over the

55
00:02:08,510 --> 00:02:06,420
next 30 plus days the crew will observe

56
00:02:10,729 --> 00:02:08,520
and assist with the seed germination and

57
00:02:12,830 --> 00:02:10,739
growth of the plants video and still

58
00:02:15,050 --> 00:02:12,840
images enable evaluation of the entire

59
00:02:17,449 --> 00:02:15,060
plant life cycle from seed germination

60
00:02:19,850 --> 00:02:17,459
through maturity results could identify

61
00:02:22,670 --> 00:02:19,860
suitable methods to produce crops on a

62
00:02:24,350 --> 00:02:22,680
larger scale for future space missions

63
00:02:27,770 --> 00:02:24,360
that's space the ground for this week

64
00:02:29,630 --> 00:02:27,780
thanks for watching but before we go we

65
00:02:32,330 --> 00:02:29,640
invite you to watch the latest edition

66
00:02:34,610 --> 00:02:32,340
of the NASA video series down to earth

67
00:02:36,470 --> 00:02:34,620
astronaut Victor Glover sits down with

68
00:02:38,750 --> 00:02:36,480
his daughter to discuss what it's like

69
00:02:40,670 --> 00:02:38,760
to be separated from your family on a

70
00:02:43,170 --> 00:02:40,680
mission to the space station

71
00:03:03,290 --> 00:02:43,180
we will see you next week
