hey I'm NASA Kennedy's atom burrow and

2
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:07,620
I'm taking you inside KSC engineering

3
00:00:10,820 --> 00:00:09,210
and exploration ground systems at

4
00:00:12,860 --> 00:00:10,830
Kennedy Space Center are celebrating a

5
00:00:14,570 --> 00:00:12,870
major milestone that's two and a half

6
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:14,580
years of testing launch equipment for

7
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:15,690
exploration mission-1

8
00:00:20,060 --> 00:00:18,930
is now complete a total of 22 mobile

9
00:00:22,580 --> 00:00:20,070
launcher umbilicals and other

10
00:00:24,590 --> 00:00:22,590
accessories were tested including the

11
00:00:26,420 --> 00:00:24,600
ryan service module umbilical the crew

12
00:00:28,550 --> 00:00:26,430
access arm seal and eight vehicle

13
00:00:30,050 --> 00:00:28,560
support posts all of these currently

14
00:00:32,179 --> 00:00:30,060
reside on the mobile launcher in

15
00:00:34,430 --> 00:00:32,189
preparation for launch in 2020

16
00:00:36,380 --> 00:00:34,440
researchers at Kenny's swampert's are

17
00:00:38,660 --> 00:00:36,390
working to combat issues caused by gusts

18
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:38,670
in space their electrodynamic dust

19
00:00:43,819 --> 00:00:41,610
shield or EDS uses electric targets to

20
00:00:46,010 --> 00:00:43,829
remove dust from surfaces the device

21
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:46,020
could protect solar panels helmet visors

22
00:00:50,090 --> 00:00:48,690
camera lenses and thermal radiators from

23
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:50,100
dust on the Moon and Mars

24
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:52,410
currently the red planet is engulfed in

25
00:00:56,569 --> 00:00:54,690
global dust storms and dust on the moon

26
00:00:59,119 --> 00:00:56,579
caused several problems for astronauts

27
00:01:01,130 --> 00:00:59,129
during the Apollo missions NASA plans to

28
00:01:03,830 --> 00:01:01,140
send the EDS to the International Space

29
00:01:05,630 --> 00:01:03,840
Station in spring 2019 for a year of

30
00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:05,640
testing and preparation for future
