Hey! I'm NASA Kennedy's Jonathan Davis taking
you Inside KSC!

2
00:00:07,310 --> 00:00:11,549
This year NASA will launch groundbreaking
science missions, flight tests and cargo deliveries

3
00:00:11,549 --> 00:00:15,969
to the International Space Station as we exercise
our expertise to accomplish the nation's space

4
00:00:15,969 --> 00:00:17,590
exploration objectives.

5
00:00:17,590 --> 00:00:22,640
Jason-3, an Earth-observation mission led
by NOAA, will be the first of 2016 for NASA's

6
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,570
Launch Services Program. It is targeted to
fly from Vandenberg Air Force Base in mid-January.

7
00:00:26,570 --> 00:00:33,180
LSP will also oversee the launch of Osiris-Rex,
a robotic spacecraft designed to take a sample

8
00:00:33,180 --> 00:00:37,730
from an asteroid and return it to Earth. The
spacecraft will lift off from Florida in September

9
00:00:37,730 --> 00:00:41,760
on a mission that will set the stage for later
asteroid exploration by astronauts.

10
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,420
Tons of cargo and equipment will fly from
the spaceport this year on SpaceX and Orbital

11
00:00:45,420 --> 00:00:49,829
ATK vehicles to the International Space Station
on a series of flights to keep the orbiting

12
00:00:49,829 --> 00:00:52,780
laboratory stocked.

13
00:00:52,780 --> 00:00:56,510
The dramatic pace of development for Commercial
Crew partners Boeing and SpaceX will pick

14
00:00:56,510 --> 00:01:01,770
up through 2016. The partners will perform
vital testing on the Boeing CST-100 Starliner

15
00:01:01,770 --> 00:01:05,440
and SpaceX Crew Dragon systems paving the
way to flight tests and missions carrying

16
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:09,560
crews to the station.
