1 00:00:05,180 --> 00:00:03,860 on the upcoming SpaceX crs 10 resupply 2 00:00:08,120 --> 00:00:05,190 mission to the International Space 3 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:08,130 Station a dragon spacecraft will deliver 4 00:00:13,370 --> 00:00:10,290 the stratospheric aerosol and gas 5 00:00:16,430 --> 00:00:13,380 experiment or sage three instrument to 6 00:00:19,220 --> 00:00:16,440 study ozone in the atmosphere once 7 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:19,230 mounted on the space station sage 3 will 8 00:00:24,590 --> 00:00:21,570 measure the your sunscreen or ozone 9 00:00:27,679 --> 00:00:24,600 along with other gases aerosols and tiny 10 00:00:29,900 --> 00:00:27,689 particles in the atmosphere following 11 00:00:31,820 --> 00:00:29,910 years of global efforts to significantly 12 00:00:34,700 --> 00:00:31,830 reduce the number of ozone-depleting 13 00:00:38,389 --> 00:00:34,710 substances experts now we're optimistic 14 00:00:40,340 --> 00:00:38,399 that the ozone layer will recover while 15 00:00:43,639 --> 00:00:40,350 watchin saves three is scheduled for 16 00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:43,649 early 2017 preparations have been and 17 00:00:49,010 --> 00:00:46,170 worked for several years sage 3 team 18 00:00:51,709 --> 00:00:49,020 actually began back in September of 2011 19 00:00:53,630 --> 00:00:51,719 we sent a delegation of engineers out to 20 00:00:55,340 --> 00:00:53,640 Langley to meet with the sage team and 21 00:00:58,549 --> 00:00:55,350 to learn a little bit about their 22 00:01:00,500 --> 00:00:58,559 payload and to offer our expertise here 23 00:01:04,130 --> 00:01:00,510 at KSC and how we could help make their 24 00:01:06,380 --> 00:01:04,140 payload successful sage 3 now is being 25 00:01:09,190 --> 00:01:06,390 tested in the high bay F Kennedy Space 26 00:01:12,859 --> 00:01:09,200 Station processing facility or s SPF 27 00:01:14,390 --> 00:01:12,869 world-class processing laboratory every 28 00:01:17,390 --> 00:01:14,400 American launched element for 29 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:17,400 construction of the ISS of cargo and 30 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:19,650 each experiment is prepared and checked 31 00:01:25,310 --> 00:01:22,530 out in the s SPF a crucial part of a 32 00:01:27,590 --> 00:01:25,320 premier multi-user spaceport KSC offers 33 00:01:30,109 --> 00:01:27,600 ho stroll support to the stage 3 team 34 00:01:31,819 --> 00:01:30,119 when they arrive at KSC basically we 35 00:01:34,219 --> 00:01:31,829 offer them anything they need to make 36 00:01:36,590 --> 00:01:34,229 their work here and an SSP of high base 37 00:01:39,380 --> 00:01:36,600 successful one unique requirement that 38 00:01:41,929 --> 00:01:39,390 the sage 3 team had was the need for a 39 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:41,939 super clean room we spent about a year 40 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:45,810 to develop design and build a super 41 00:01:51,230 --> 00:01:48,930 clean clean room clean tent in the SS PF 42 00:01:54,139 --> 00:01:51,240 high bay and this is considered a class 43 00:01:56,359 --> 00:01:54,149 10k clean room which basically means 44 00:01:58,670 --> 00:01:56,369 that within any given cubic foot of air 45 00:02:01,840 --> 00:01:58,680 inside the tent there are less than 46 00:02:04,660 --> 00:02:01,850 10,000 particles greater than half 47 00:02:07,050 --> 00:02:04,670 micron in size so and this is due to the 48 00:02:10,330 --> 00:02:07,060 sensitivity in the optics of the payload 49 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:10,340 this 10k clean tent is actually about 50 00:02:14,979 --> 00:02:12,290 ten times cleaner than the air and the 51 00:02:16,330 --> 00:02:14,989 SPF high bay it's about 150 times 52 00:02:19,930 --> 00:02:16,340 cleaner than the air in the average 53 00:02:22,030 --> 00:02:19,940 living room to ensure sage 3 will be 54 00:02:24,610 --> 00:02:22,040 ready to go to work once it arrives at 55 00:02:26,140 --> 00:02:24,620 the space station Kennedy experts have 56 00:02:28,540 --> 00:02:26,150 been assisting Langley Research Center 57 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:28,550 engineers and conducting extensive 58 00:02:34,809 --> 00:02:31,250 checkouts in the special processing area 59 00:02:37,420 --> 00:02:34,819 of the SSP F I've been more involved in 60 00:02:40,330 --> 00:02:37,430 helping them coordinate their testing 61 00:02:41,559 --> 00:02:40,340 with our ISS simulators so that they can 62 00:02:43,690 --> 00:02:41,569 do their command and data handling 63 00:02:46,540 --> 00:02:43,700 checkouts and make sure that everything 64 00:02:48,070 --> 00:02:46,550 is going to flow the data correctly once 65 00:02:50,949 --> 00:02:48,080 they're on orbit and gathering science 66 00:02:53,199 --> 00:02:50,959 once age 3 is installed on the space 67 00:02:55,449 --> 00:02:53,209 station get what again sending back data 68 00:02:59,289 --> 00:02:55,459 so what's great about this science is 69 00:03:01,750 --> 00:02:59,299 they're going to try to see or verify 70 00:03:04,210 --> 00:03:01,760 whether those efforts that have been 71 00:03:06,910 --> 00:03:04,220 made here on earth have actually helped 72 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:06,920 improve the ozone layer back I just wish 73 00:03:11,290 --> 00:03:08,690 all the payload teams 74 00:03:13,570 --> 00:03:11,300 and the science teams great success I
