1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,760 Hey, I'm NASA Kennedy's Tim Bass taking you Inside KSC! 2 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:12,910 Preparations are underway for a SpaceX Falcon 9 to lift off from historic Launch Complex 3 00:00:12,910 --> 00:00:18,970 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center to complete the latest resupply run to the International 4 00:00:18,970 --> 00:00:20,090 Space Station. 5 00:00:20,090 --> 00:00:24,790 The rocket is launching a Dragon spacecraft filled with supplies and experiments for more 6 00:00:24,790 --> 00:00:28,680 than 250 science and research investigations. 7 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:33,680 The payloads were prepared in Kennedy’s Space Station Processing Facility, a world-class 8 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:34,980 laboratory. 9 00:00:34,980 --> 00:00:40,321 After arrival, the station crew will begin working with experiments such as NICER, the 10 00:00:40,321 --> 00:00:43,690 Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer. 11 00:00:43,690 --> 00:00:48,990 For the first time, "pulsar" stars will be used as beacons to navigate spacecraft. 12 00:00:48,990 --> 00:00:55,070 Also aboard will be the Roll-Out Solar Array, or ROSA -- a new type of power-producing panel, 13 00:00:55,070 --> 00:00:57,980 more efficient and compact than current designs. 14 00:00:57,980 --> 00:01:02,060 The Dragon spacecraft will spend about a month attached to the space station. 15 00:01:02,060 --> 00:01:07,710 In early July, the spacecraft will return to Earth with results of earlier experiments,
