00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,240
I’m NASA Kennedy’s Randy Mizelle, and
I’m taking you Inside KSC!

00:00:06,820 --> 00:00:10,940
The morning of Aug. 18, a United Launch Alliance
Atlas V lifted off from Cape Canaveral Air

3
00:00:10,940 --> 00:00:13,969
Force Station's Space Launch Complex 41.

4
00:00:13,969 --> 00:00:19,179
It boosted to orbit NASA's Tracking and Data
Relay Satellite, TDRS-M. It was the second

5
00:00:19,179 --> 00:00:22,189
rocket launched during a busy week at the
Kennedy Space Center.

6
00:00:22,189 --> 00:00:26,630
TDRS-M is the latest spacecraft destined for
the agency's constellation of communications

7
00:00:26,630 --> 00:00:30,979
satellites, allowing nearly continuous contact
with orbiting spacecraft ranging from the

8
00:00:30,979 --> 00:00:35,559
International Space Station and Hubble Space
Telescope to the array of other scientific

9
00:00:35,559 --> 00:00:37,140
observatories.

10
00:00:37,140 --> 00:00:41,949
Employees at Kennedy joined Americans from
coast to coast following Monday's solar eclipse.

11
00:00:41,949 --> 00:00:46,829
As the Moon passed between Earth and the midafternoon
Sun, a shadow moved across the landscape from

12
00:00:46,829 --> 00:00:49,160
Oregon to South Carolina.

13
00:00:49,160 --> 00:00:52,989
Although a partial eclipse at the Florida
spaceport, guests gathered at the center's

14
00:00:52,989 --> 00:00:58,050
visitor complex and found many ways to watch
the rare astronomical event.
