00:00:01,090 --> 00:00:07,600
Hey I'm NASA Kennedy's Amanda Griffin, taking
YOU Inside KSC!

2
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:12,260
A spacecraft designed to grasp part of an
asteroid recently arrived at Kennedy.

3
00:00:12,260 --> 00:00:17,750
NASA's Origins Spectral Interpretation Resource
Identification Security -- Regolith Explorer,

4
00:00:17,750 --> 00:00:22,970
or OSIRIS-REx, arrived on May 20 aboard an
Air Force C-17 aircraft.

5
00:00:22,970 --> 00:00:25,840
OSIRIS-REx is scheduled to launch Sept. 8.

6
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,570
on a mission to a near-Earth asteroid.

7
00:00:28,570 --> 00:00:34,350
The spacecraft then will collect surface material
for return to Earth.

8
00:00:34,350 --> 00:00:39,640
Engineers at Kennedy recently conducted a
series of tests of the Orion pressure vessel.

9
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:44,890
The spacecraft is being prepared for the first
uncrewed test flight atop a Space Launch System

10
00:00:44,890 --> 00:00:48,489
rocket -- Exploration Mission 1.

11
00:00:48,489 --> 00:00:52,809
The latest testing confirmed that the weld
points of the underlying structure will withstand

12
00:00:52,809 --> 00:00:58,380
the rigors of the launch, flight, re-entry
and landing.

13
00:00:58,380 --> 00:01:03,510
Orion is the NASA spacecraft that will send
astronauts to deep space destinations, including

14
00:01:03,510 --> 00:01:06,200
a trip to an asteroid and the Journey to Mars.
