00:00:14,209 --> 00:00:12,179
walk in space and celebrating our home

4 300 pounds of Science and cargo

00:00:22,609 --> 00:00:20,640
returned to Earth on Saturday April 15th

00:00:24,830 --> 00:00:22,619
aboard spacex's uncrewed Dragon

10
00:00:27,290 --> 00:00:24,840
spacecraft which splashed down off the

11
00:00:29,210 --> 00:00:27,300
coast of Tampa Florida among the science

12
00:00:30,890 --> 00:00:29,220
Frozen dwarf tomatoes that were

13
00:00:32,690 --> 00:00:30,900
harvested will be examined for the

14
00:00:35,270 --> 00:00:32,700
effects of light quality and fertilizer

15
00:00:36,709 --> 00:00:35,280
on fruit production microbial safety and

16

nutritional value

17
00:00:41,350 --> 00:00:39,239
on Tuesday two Russian cosmonauts took a

18
00:00:43,850 --> 00:00:41,360
walk in space to move a radiator

19
00:00:45,889 --> 00:00:43,860
this was the first of three spacewalks

20
00:00:47,869 --> 00:00:45,899
for Expedition 69 Commander Sergey

21
00:00:50,029 --> 00:00:47,879

pedalin who exited the poisk module to

23
00:00:54,590 --> 00:00:52,079
move a radiator from the raspat module

24
00:00:56,569 --> 00:00:54,600
to the Noka science module a pair of

25
00:00:58,549 --> 00:00:56,579
astronauts will exit the hatch on April

26
00:01:01,010 --> 00:00:58,559
28th to prepare the space station for

27
00:01:02,810 --> 00:01:01,020
continued solar array upgrades you can

28
00:01:04,789 --> 00:01:02,820
learn more about the spacewalk during

29
00:01:08,390 --> 00:01:04,799
our preview briefing on Monday April

30
00:01:10,190 --> 00:01:08,400
24th at 2 pm Eastern for all upcoming

31
00:01:12,950 --> 00:01:10,200
spacewalks you can catch live coverage

32
00:01:14,530 --> 00:01:12,960
on NASA TV on the agencies app and on

33
00:01:17,450 --> 00:01:14,540
the website

34
00:01:19,490 --> 00:01:17,460
250 miles above our home planet sits the

35
00:01:21,710 --> 00:01:19,500
International Space Station with 16

36
00:01:23,630 --> 00:01:21,720
sunrises and sunsets a day we have been

37
00:01:25,730 --> 00:01:23,640
able to study our planet from multiple

38
00:01:28,550 --> 00:01:25,740
locations during the day and night

39
00:01:30,230 --> 00:01:28,560
as we celebrate Earth Day on Saturday we

40
00:01:32,149 --> 00:01:30,240
continue to focus on the well-being of

41
00:01:34,429 --> 00:01:32,159
our planet including how humans are

42
00:01:35,870 --> 00:01:34,439
affecting its climate astronauts and

43
00:01:37,850 --> 00:01:35,880
instruments aboard the space station

44
00:01:40,069 --> 00:01:37,860
have the ability to track factors

45
00:01:42,170 --> 00:01:40,079
influencing climate over long periods

46
00:01:43,789 --> 00:01:42,180
and the data gathered helps inform

47
00:01:46,370 --> 00:01:43,799
climate decisions that help us

48
00:01:48,770 --> 00:01:46,380
understand and care for our planet

49
00:01:50,330 --> 00:01:48,780
ecostress an instrument on the exterior

50
00:01:51,889 --> 00:01:50,340
of the space station measures the

51
00:01:54,350 --> 00:01:51,899
temperature on the ground which is

52
00:01:56,630 --> 00:01:54,360
hotter during the day than the air Urban

53
00:01:59,149 --> 00:01:56,640
surfaces like concrete are often much

54
00:02:01,069 --> 00:01:59,159
hotter than a field for example this is

55
00:02:03,170 --> 00:02:01,079
one of the ways Urban heat experts have

56
00:02:04,789 --> 00:02:03,180
noted that extreme temperatures can be

57
00:02:07,069 --> 00:02:04,799
deadly due to an urban heat island

58
00:02:09,050 --> 00:02:07,079
effect this is when temperatures Do not

59
00:02:11,690 --> 00:02:09,060
drop sufficiently at night face to

60
00:02:13,790 --> 00:02:11,700
ground with more than 3.5 million images

61
00:02:16,130 --> 00:02:13,800
of Earth taken by crew from the space

62
00:02:18,050 --> 00:02:16,140
station crew Earth observations is one

63
00:02:20,390 --> 00:02:18,060
of the longest running records of how

64
00:02:22,610 --> 00:02:20,400
our planet changes over time

65
00:02:24,470 --> 00:02:22,620
at the moment the program supports a

66
00:02:26,630 --> 00:02:24,480
number of studies including Urban night

67
00:02:28,309 --> 00:02:26,640
lighting glaciers and volcanoes and

68
00:02:30,050 --> 00:02:28,319
Atmospheric processes affected by

69
00:02:32,030 --> 00:02:30,060
volcanic eruptions

70
00:02:34,190 --> 00:02:32,040
for more on the signs taking place

71
00:02:36,770 --> 00:02:34,200
aboard the space station don't forget to

72
00:02:38,390 --> 00:02:36,780
follow at ISS underscore research that's

73
00:02:40,010 --> 00:02:38,400
space to ground for this week thanks so

74
00:02:41,630 --> 00:02:40,020
much for watching we hope that you have

75
00:02:45,570 --> 00:02:41,640
a happy Earth Day and we'll see you next
