hi I'm Andrew Scarborough and I'm taking

00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:10,430
Boeing cst-100 Starliner completed the

3
00:00:16,010 --> 00:00:13,290
pad abort test November the 4th at the

00:00:18,740 --> 00:00:16,020
US Army's White Sands Missile Range in

5
00:00:21,230 --> 00:00:18,750
New Mexico this critical milestone was

6
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:21,240
an end-to-end test of the vehicles

7
00:00:26,060 --> 00:00:23,850
launch abort system verifying it could

8
00:00:28,250 --> 00:00:26,070
safely carry the spacecraft away from

9
00:00:28,939 --> 00:00:28,260
the launch pad and the unlikely event of

10
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:28,949
an emergency

11
00:00:34,190 --> 00:00:32,130
it was Boeing's first flight test with

12
00:00:36,530 --> 00:00:34,200
Starliner as part of NASA's Commercial

13
00:00:39,290 --> 00:00:36,540
Crew program it sets the stage for the

14
00:00:41,350 --> 00:00:39,300
company's orbital flight test which will

15
00:00:44,660 --> 00:00:41,360
launch an uncrewed Starliner spacecraft

16
00:00:47,350 --> 00:00:44,670
to the International Space Station on a

17
00:00:50,090 --> 00:00:47,360
United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 rocket

18
00:00:52,569 --> 00:00:50,100
the next spacecraft to study the Sun

19
00:00:56,330 --> 00:00:52,579
arrived at Kennedy November the first

20
00:00:58,910 --> 00:00:56,340
solar orbiter or solo was delivered to

21
00:01:01,220 --> 00:00:58,920
the launch and landing facility formerly

22
00:01:04,490 --> 00:01:01,230
the shuttle landing facility aboard an

23
00:01:06,980 --> 00:01:04,500
Antonov cargo plane the spacecraft was

24
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:06,990
then transported to the Astrotech

25
00:01:13,340 --> 00:01:09,450
payload processing facility in nearby

26
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:13,350
Titusville solar orbiter is a European

27
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:15,530
Space Agency mission with NASA

28
00:01:20,270 --> 00:01:18,450
participation the mission aims to study

29
00:01:22,820 --> 00:01:20,280
the sun's a role in creating and

30
00:01:25,700 --> 00:01:22,830
controlling its magnetic fields it's

31
00:01:28,130 --> 00:01:25,710
slated to launch in February 2020 from

32
00:01:30,850 --> 00:01:28,140
Cape Canaveral Air Force Station aboard

33
00:01:33,830 --> 00:01:30,860
a United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 rocket

34
00:01:35,810 --> 00:01:33,840
this week the spaceport was the first

35
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:35,820
NASA Center to be named a Purple Heart

36
00:01:40,999 --> 00:01:38,250
