00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,200
Hey, I'm NASA Kennedy's Tiffany Nail, taking you Inside KSC.

2
00:00:06,820 --> 00:00:12,060
The Soil Moisture Active Passive spacecraft,
a.k.a. SMAP, is now at Vandenberg Air Force

3
00:00:12,300 --> 00:00:16,180
Base in California, where Kennedy’s Launch
Services Program team has begun processing

4
00:00:16,180 --> 00:00:17,769
for its January launch.

5
00:00:17,769 --> 00:00:22,470
SMAP will survey the Earth’s soil moisture
and help us understand how freezing and thawing

6
00:00:22,470 --> 00:00:24,919
affect weather and climate.

7
00:00:24,919 --> 00:00:29,390
NASA and the Canaveral Port Authority are
partnering to study the feasibility of trains

8
00:00:29,390 --> 00:00:33,250
carrying freight through Kennedy Space Center
to the port.\h

9
00:00:33,250 --> 00:00:38,080
This Rail Vibration Test using Florida East
Coast Railway locomotives will help determine

10
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:43,770
whether train traffic could interfere with
processing flight hardware at Complex 39 facilities.\h
