00:00:00,659 --> 00:00:06,520
Hi, I'm NASA Kennedy's Jeremy Parr and I'm
taking you Inside KSC!

2
00:00:06,520 --> 00:00:10,100
NASA's Recovery Team based at Kennedy just
wrapped up a week at sea.

3
00:00:10,100 --> 00:00:14,720
During Underway Recovery Test 6, NASA and
the U.S. Navy worked aboard the USS Anchorage

4
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,550
in the Pacific Ocean off the California coast.

5
00:00:17,550 --> 00:00:21,670
The goal: to test and refine the procedures
and equipment crews will need to recover the

6
00:00:21,670 --> 00:00:26,380
Orion spacecraft and astronauts onboard when
they splash down at the end of future missions.

7
00:00:26,380 --> 00:00:30,900
The combined team spent several days working
in a variety of sea and daylight conditions.

8
00:00:30,900 --> 00:00:35,730
The Orion spacecraft will launch on NASA's
Space Launch System rocket on its first uncrewed

9
00:00:35,730 --> 00:00:38,720
integrated flight, Exploration Mission-1.

10
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:43,340
The Space Race began with the liftoff of a
Jupiter C rocket carrying America's first

11
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:44,610
satellite - Explorer 1.

12
00:00:44,610 --> 00:00:49,420
The year was 1958, and the U.S. was locked
in a Cold War competition with the Soviet

13
00:00:49,420 --> 00:00:50,420
Union.

14
00:00:50,420 --> 00:00:54,000
This week, NASA and other officials gathered
at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station's Launch

15
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,400
Complex 26 to mark the 60th anniversary of
the flight, which not only set our nation

16
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,730
on a path to the stars - but also returned
valuable science with the discovery of radiation

17
00:01:02,730 --> 00:01:04,220
belts encircling the Earth.

18
00:01:04,220 --> 00:01:08,290
The belts were later named for Dr. James Van
Allen of the University of Iowa, who served

19
00:01:08,290 --> 00:01:09,860
as principal investigator.
