hi I'm NASA's Matt Chambliss and I'm

00:00:10,190 --> 00:00:08,450
employees at NASA's Kennedy Space Center

3
00:00:11,980 --> 00:00:10,200
and residents along Florida's Space

4
00:00:14,930 --> 00:00:11,990
Coast have heard a familiar sound

5
00:00:16,250 --> 00:00:14,940
sonicboom Kennedy partnered with the

6
00:00:18,650 --> 00:00:16,260
agency's Armstrong Flight Research

7
00:00:20,330 --> 00:00:18,660
Center and Langley Research Center for a

8
00:00:23,590 --> 00:00:20,340
program called sonic booms and

9
00:00:25,820 --> 00:00:23,600
atmospheric turbulence or sonic bat

10
00:00:28,250 --> 00:00:25,830
starting the week of August 21st

11
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:28,260
NASA f-18 jets began taking off from the

12
00:00:32,150 --> 00:00:30,090
Shuttle Landing Facility flying at

13
00:00:34,100 --> 00:00:32,160
supersonic speeds while NASA researchers

14
00:00:35,870 --> 00:00:34,110
on the ground and in the air measured

15
00:00:38,450 --> 00:00:35,880
the effects of low altitude turbulence

16
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:38,460
on sonic booms by learning more about

17
00:00:42,350 --> 00:00:40,890
how sonic booms travel engineers can

18
00:00:44,690 --> 00:00:42,360
eventually design aircraft that lower

19
00:00:46,369 --> 00:00:44,700
sonic booms to a low Rumble paving the

20
00:00:47,540 --> 00:00:46,379
way for coast-to-coast airline flights

21
00:00:50,630 --> 00:00:47,550
in two hours

22
00:00:52,729 --> 00:00:50,640
a major milestone for NASA's Orion

23
00:00:54,619 --> 00:00:52,739
program was achieved when the spacecraft

24
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:54,629
destined for exploration mission-1

25
00:00:59,299 --> 00:00:56,610
was successfully powered up for the

26
00:01:01,069 --> 00:00:59,309
first time the initial power-on

27
00:01:03,889 --> 00:01:01,079
procedure verified the health and status

28
00:01:06,350 --> 00:01:03,899
of Orion's core computers power and data

29
00:01:09,289 --> 00:01:06,360
units it also marks the beginning of

30
00:01:11,060 --> 00:01:09,299
critical spacecraft subsystem tests the

31
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:11,070
Orion test team reported that flight

32
00:01:16,550 --> 00:01:13,170
systems and ground support equipment all

33
00:01:19,190 --> 00:01:16,560
performed remarkably well and remember
