1
00:00:05,809 --> 00:00:03,409
NASA's Orion spacecraft is designed to

2
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:05,819
send astronauts on exploration missions

3
00:00:12,290 --> 00:00:09,210
into deep space closer to Earth orbiting

4
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:12,300
about 250 miles up NASA is using the

5
00:00:16,279 --> 00:00:14,370
International Space Station to conduct

6
00:00:18,439 --> 00:00:16,289
cutting-edge research and technology

7
00:00:20,390 --> 00:00:18,449
development and to increase our

8
00:00:22,429 --> 00:00:20,400
knowledge about what it takes to live

9
00:00:26,509 --> 00:00:22,439
and work for long periods of time in

10
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:26,519
space currently the six crew members of

11
00:00:30,589 --> 00:00:28,650
the space station travel to and from the

12
00:00:33,709 --> 00:00:30,599
orbiting laboratory in Russian Soyuz

13
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:33,719
spacecraft NASA's Commercial Crew

14
00:00:37,850 --> 00:00:35,730
program is spearheading the development

15
00:00:40,220 --> 00:00:37,860
of a u.s. Commercial Crew space

16
00:00:42,860 --> 00:00:40,230
transportation capability that provides

17
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:42,870
safe reliable and cost-effective access

18
00:00:48,619 --> 00:00:44,730
to and from the International Space

19
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:48,629
Station in low-earth orbit in September

20
00:00:54,439 --> 00:00:51,210
nasa selected to commercial providers

21
00:00:57,410 --> 00:00:54,449
Boeing and SpaceX to develop the systems

22
00:00:59,299 --> 00:00:57,420
to transport astronauts from US soil to

23
00:01:02,959 --> 00:00:59,309
and from the space station using the

24
00:01:06,170 --> 00:01:02,969
company's Boeing cst-100 and SpaceX crew

25
00:01:08,179 --> 00:01:06,180
Dragon spacecraft these new American

26
00:01:09,830 --> 00:01:08,189
spacecraft will also allow us to add a

27
00:01:12,410 --> 00:01:09,840
seventh crew member to the space station

28
00:01:14,090 --> 00:01:12,420
and double the amount of time the crew

29
00:01:17,109 --> 00:01:14,100
has to conduct research aboard the

30
00:01:19,550 --> 00:01:17,119
unique microgravity laboratory

31
00:01:21,230 --> 00:01:19,560
certifying and using US commercial

32
00:01:22,999 --> 00:01:21,240
company spacecraft to provide

33
00:01:26,060 --> 00:01:23,009
transportation services to low Earth

34
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:26,070
orbit allows NASA to expand its focus to

35
00:01:30,289 --> 00:01:28,530
even more ambitious missions sending

36
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:30,299
astronauts to explore an asteroid

37
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:32,250
learning in the proving ground of space

38
00:01:37,550 --> 00:01:35,610
around the moon ultimately NASA's Space

39
00:01:39,859 --> 00:01:37,560
Launch System rocket and Orion

40
00:01:41,870 --> 00:01:39,869
spacecraft and the skills and techniques

41
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:41,880
learned in lunar orbit will enable

42
00:01:48,950 --> 00:01:45,810
humans to explore Mars we are going to

43
00:01:51,710 --> 00:01:48,960
different exploration destinations so we

44
00:01:54,109 --> 00:01:51,720
need different systems NASA will own and

45
00:01:55,639 --> 00:01:54,119
operate its Orion spacecraft and Space

46
00:01:58,850 --> 00:01:55,649
Launch System for deep space missions

47
00:02:01,280 --> 00:01:58,860
and will purchase services from Boeing

48
00:02:04,190 --> 00:02:01,290
and SpaceX to get astronauts to and from

49
00:02:06,679 --> 00:02:04,200
the station that's what America's space
