00:00:09,290 --> 00:00:07,070
welcome to space to ground I'm Jaden

00:00:10,669 --> 00:00:09,300
Jennings Northrop Grumman has named the

4
00:00:13,089 --> 00:00:10,679
next cygnus mission to the International

5
00:00:15,829 --> 00:00:13,099
Space Station in honor of Dr Sally Ride

6
00:00:17,570 --> 00:00:15,839
astronaut physicist advocate for

7
00:00:20,029 --> 00:00:17,580
diversity and Science and the first

8
00:00:22,490 --> 00:00:20,039
American woman to fly into space

9
00:00:24,710 --> 00:00:22,500
the ng-18 mission is scheduled to launch

10
00:00:26,570 --> 00:00:24,720
on Sunday November 6 from the Wallops

11
00:00:28,790 --> 00:00:26,580
Flight Facility in Virginia

12
00:00:31,189 --> 00:00:28,800
the spacecraft will deliver more than 8

13
00:00:33,650 --> 00:00:31,199
200 pounds of cargo for the station's

14
00:00:36,410 --> 00:00:33,660
Expedition 68 crew as well as several

15
00:00:38,630 --> 00:00:36,420
key science experiments on board cygnus

16
00:00:40,310 --> 00:00:38,640
the oboe space investigation will study

17
00:00:42,590 --> 00:00:40,320
possible changes in ovarian cell

18
00:00:44,510 --> 00:00:42,600
development and microgravity the study

19
00:00:46,850 --> 00:00:44,520
will use bovine cell cultures in order

20
00:00:48,830 --> 00:00:46,860
to understand those changes as we work

21
00:00:50,990 --> 00:00:48,840
toward a permanent human presence on the

22
00:00:52,670 --> 00:00:51,000
moon This research seeks to identify

23
00:00:54,950 --> 00:00:52,680
possible treatments to protect

24
00:00:57,170 --> 00:00:54,960
reproductive Health off the planet and

25
00:00:59,389 --> 00:00:57,180
could also improve or restore fertility

26
00:01:01,610 --> 00:00:59,399
in people here on Earth

27
00:01:03,470 --> 00:01:01,620
another study that will fly on cygnus

28
00:01:05,990 --> 00:01:03,480
will look for solutions to prevent a

29
00:01:08,270 --> 00:01:06,000
disastrous event after wildfires

30
00:01:10,670 --> 00:01:08,280
the effects of wildfires are devastating

31
00:01:13,250 --> 00:01:10,680
causing loss of property and loss of

32
00:01:15,770 --> 00:01:13,260
lives even more damage can happen months

33
00:01:18,230 --> 00:01:15,780
after the event when a wildfire Burns

34
00:01:20,749 --> 00:01:18,240
plants combusted chemicals create a thin

35
00:01:22,789 --> 00:01:20,759
layer of soil that repels rainwater rain

36
00:01:24,830 --> 00:01:22,799
then erodes the soil which can lead to

37
00:01:27,050 --> 00:01:24,840
catastrophic mud flows that carry heavy

38
00:01:29,570 --> 00:01:27,060
Boulders and debris downhill causing

39
00:01:31,670 --> 00:01:29,580
significant damage the post Wildfire

40
00:01:33,950 --> 00:01:31,680
mudflow microstructure investigation

41
00:01:36,770 --> 00:01:33,960
will evaluate the composition of these

42
00:01:38,510 --> 00:01:36,780
mud flows microgravity can unlock new

43
00:01:40,789 --> 00:01:38,520
understanding of these phenomena which

44
00:01:42,890 --> 00:01:40,799
may improve modeling and prediction of

45
00:01:44,569 --> 00:01:42,900
their behavior what we learn could

46
00:01:46,490 --> 00:01:44,579
support the development of ways to

47
00:01:48,289 --> 00:01:46,500
prevent and reduce catastrophic

48
00:01:50,749 --> 00:01:48,299
post-fire events

49
00:01:52,130 --> 00:01:50,759
and now it's time for nachos but not the

50
00:01:54,350 --> 00:01:52,140
type that you eat

51
00:01:56,870 --> 00:01:54,360
the Nano sat atmospheric chemistry

52
00:01:58,850 --> 00:01:56,880
hyperspectral observation system or

53
00:02:01,370 --> 00:01:58,860
nachos for short flew to the space

54
00:02:03,590 --> 00:02:01,380
station in February weighing just 13

55
00:02:05,389 --> 00:02:03,600
pounds this prototype instrument could

56
00:02:07,670 --> 00:02:05,399
eventually make it easier to monitor

57
00:02:09,889 --> 00:02:07,680
volcanic activity and air quality in

58
00:02:12,110 --> 00:02:09,899
cities neighborhoods and power plants

59
00:02:14,510 --> 00:02:12,120
nachos will be the topic on this week's

60
00:02:16,430 --> 00:02:14,520
edition of Houston we have a podcast you

61
00:02:19,309 --> 00:02:16,440
can find it on Apple podcast Google

67
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:27,959
you so much for watching and we'll see

68
00:02:44,530 --> 00:02:29,370
