science experiments 11 00:01:48,230 --> 00:01:46,640 that are being flown up to the 12 00:01:51,429 --> 00:01:48,240 international space station 13 00:01:52,630 --> 00:01:51,439 for nasa's and space texas crs 22 14 00:01:55,190 --> 00:01:52,640 mission 15 00:01:56,630 --> 00:01:55,200 this will be the 22nd cargo resupply 16 00:01:58,230 --> 00:01:56,640 services mission that will send 17 00:02:00,709 --> 00:01:58,240 technology demonstrations 18 00:02:02,230 --> 00:02:00,719 and research to the space station here 19 00:02:09,070 --> 00:02:02,240 are some of the science experiments that 20 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:09,080 are being sent up 21 00:03:58,949 --> 00:02:40,880 [Music] 22 00:04:00,470 --> 00:03:58,959 we have some more exciting science to 23 00:04:03,990 --> 00:04:00,480 tell you about onboard 24 00:04:06,149 --> 00:04:04,000 crs 22 the african republic of mauritius 25 00:04:06,710 --> 00:04:06,159 a small island nation in the indian 26 00:04:09,270 --> 00:04:06,720 ocean 27 00:04:12,390 --> 00:04:09,280 east of madagascar will now become a 28 00:04:14,309 --> 00:04:12,400 space-faring nation 29 00:04:16,550 --> 00:04:14,319 a team of scientists developed the 30 00:04:19,270 --> 00:04:16,560 cubesat after winning an award from the 31 00:04:20,550 --> 00:04:19,280 japanese aerospace exploration agency in 32 00:04:22,469 --> 00:04:20,560 2018. 33 00:04:24,710 --> 00:04:22,479 the satellite will deploy from jax's 34 00:04:27,030 --> 00:04:24,720 kibo cube called mirsat 1 35 00:04:28,790 --> 00:04:27,040 it has a 3d camera on board which will 36 00:04:30,550 --> 00:04:28,800 take pictures of the region 37 00:04:31,909 --> 00:04:30,560 the team developed the mission to help 38 00:04:33,990 --> 00:04:31,919 inspire young people 39 00:04:39,270 --> 00:04:34,000 to pursue future space and satellite 40 00:04:43,189 --> 00:04:41,189 all our participants including myself 41 00:04:45,510 --> 00:04:43,199 have been fully vaccinated 42 00:04:46,390 -->

experiment 46 00:04:56,790 --> 00:04:53,360 dr thomas boothby principal investigator 47 00:04:58,950 --> 00:04:56,800 for the cell science 04 mission 48 00:05:00,550 --> 00:04:58,960 and we also have joe blair and jonathan 49 00:05:02,870 --> 00:05:00,560 bonamart students from 50 00:05:04,710 --> 00:05:02,880 oak ridge city schools in tennessee who 51 00:05:05,350 --> 00:05:04,720 will be discussing the ramsat which is a 52 00:05:08,310 --> 00:05:05,360 cubesat 53 00:05:08,950 --> 00:05:08,320 on board the rocket jamie thomas joe and 54 00:05:10,469 --> 00:05:08,960 jonathan 55 00:05:12,310 --> 00:05:10,479 thank you so much for joining us here 56 00:05:13,830 --> 00:05:12,320 today now we've 57 00:05:15,510 --> 00:05:13,840 before we begin for those of you 58 00:05:16,070 --> 00:05:15,520 watching you can make sure to ask 59 00:05:18,550 --> 00:05:16,080 questions 60 00:05:19,909 --> 00:05:18,560 using the hashtag asknasa on social 61 00:05:22,870 --> 00:05:19,919 media 62 00:05:25,510 --> 00:05:22,880 now jamie can you tell us what exactly 63 00:05:27,830 --> 00:05:25,520 umami is i mean i'm seeing a squid there 64 00:05:28,870 --> 00:05:27,840 what is this experiment well this 65 00:05:30,790 --> 00:05:28,880 project's all about 66 00:05:32,310 --> 00:05:30,800 trying to understand how the effects of 67 00:05:35,430 --> 00:05:32,320 microgravity 68 00:05:37,670 --> 00:05:35,440 is impacting how beneficial microbes and 69 00:05:38,950 --> 00:05:37,680 animals talk to each other and we chose 70 00:05:41,749 --> 00:05:38,960 the squid 71 00:05:42,390 --> 00:05:41,759 we're sending these tiny squid into 72 00:05:44,629 --> 00:05:42,400 space 73 00:05:47,189 --> 00:05:44,639 to understand how the bacteria are 74 00:05:49,590 --> 00:05:47,199 actually colonizing and initiating 75 00:05:51,670 --> 00:05:49,600 a conversation at the molecular level 76 00:05:55,270 --> 00:05:51,680 with these animals 77 00:05:56,790 --> 00:05:55,280 wow um now thomas 78 00:05:59,110 --> 00:05:56,800 can you tell us a little bit more about 79 00:06:00,950 --> 00:05:59,120 the cell science 04 mission i mean i'm 80 00:06:02,070 --> 00:06:00,960 understanding there is something to do 81 00:06:06,070 --> 00:06:02,080 with water bears 82 00:06:09,189 --> 00:06:06,080 what's going on here absolutely so 83 00:06:11,670 --> 00:06:09,199 our our project is looking at how these 84 00:06:14,550 --> 00:06:11,680 tiny little microscopic animals 85 00:06:16,790 --> 00:06:14,560 called water bears or tardigrades are 86 00:06:19,350 --> 00:06:16,800 able to cope with the stresses of 87 00:06:20,870 --> 00:06:19,360 long-term space flight and we're using 88 00:06:22,790 --> 00:06:20,880 these animals because 89 00:06:24,150 --> 00:06:22,800 they're some of the toughest animals 90 00:06:27,350 --> 00:06:24,160 that we know of 91 00:06:28,790 --> 00:06:27,360 they can survive being dried out frozen 92 00:06:31,029 --> 00:06:28,800 heated up past the boiling point of 93 00:06:33,189 --> 00:06:31,039 water they can survive 94 00:06:34,150 --> 00:06:33,199 thousands of times as much radiation as 95 00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:34,160 you or i can 96 00:06:39,510 --> 00:06:37,440 and they can survive space flight and 97 00:06:41,029 --> 00:06:39,520 even exposure to the vacuum of outer 98 00:06:43,350 --> 00:06:41,039 space 99 00:06:44,070 --> 00:06:43,360 they sound like the ultimate survivors 100 00:06:46,550 --> 00:06:44,080 now for 101 00:06:48,070 --> 00:06:46,560 joe and jonathan can you tell us what 102 00:06:51,589 --> 00:06:48,080 the ramsat 103 00:06:54,629 --> 00:06:51,599 is so 104 00:06:57,510 --> 00:06:54,639 the ramsat is a cubesat 105 00:06:58,870 --> 00:06:57,520 sent up by robertsville middle school in 106 00:07:00,870 --> 00:06:58,880 oak ridge tennessee 107 00:07:02,230 --> 00:07:00,880 this will be one of the first satellites 108 00:07:05,270 --> 00:07:02,240 ever to be sent up 109 00:07:07,110 --> 00:07:05,280 by a public middle school so the mission 110 00:07:10,150 --> 00:07:07,120 of our satellite is that 111 00:07:13,589 --> 00:07:10,160 we're looking at the regrowth of 112 00:07:17,029 --> 00:07:13,599 wildfires in gatlinburg and california 113 00:07:18,950 --> 00:07:17,039 so the ones in gatlinburg were about 114 00:07:20,070 --> 00:07:18,960 four or five years ago so those are 115 00:07:22,629 --> 00:07:20,080 almost done but 116 00:07:24,230 --> 00:07:22,639 um we hope to still get a cool picture 117 00:07:27,270 --> 00:07:24,240 of the regrowth there 118 00:07:27,990 --> 00:07:27,280 and so the way it works is infrared 119 00:07:30,629 --> 00:07:28,000 light 120 00:07:31,350 --> 00:07:30,639 on the camera the plants pick it up as a 121 00:07:33,589 --> 00:07:31,360 white light 122 00:07:34,870 --> 00:07:33,599 and anything that's not living is like 123 00:07:37,749 --> 00:07:34,880 dark and black 124 00:07:39,270 --> 00:07:37,759 and so uh basically when we take the 125 00:07:41,110 --> 00:07:39,280 picture you'll be able to see white in 126 00:07:41,990 --> 00:07:41,120 like a black and white image but all the 127 00:07:44,790 --> 00:07:42,000 white will be 128 00:07:45,830 --> 00:07:44,800 life so basically there's a forest fire 129 00:07:48,869 --> 00:07:45,840 you'll see 130 00:07:51,270 --> 00:07:48,879 a nice blob of darkness 131 00:07:52,790 --> 00:07:51,280 and then the point is you keep going 132 00:07:54,469 --> 00:07:52,800 around the earth until you can take 133 00:07:56,550 --> 00:07:54,479 enough pictures and you can 134 00:07:58,390 --> 00:07:56,560 put them together and it'll look like a 135 00:08:01,909 --> 00:07:58,400 you'll see the life going in 136 00:08:03,110 --> 00:08:01,919 and working itself out so we created 137 00:08:07,350 --> 00:08:03,120 this satellite 138 00:08:10,469 --> 00:08:07,360 uh with scientists from our national lab 139 00:08:13,990 --> 00:08:10,479 if you'll show our video 140 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:19,589 created this using uh 141 00:08:25,670 --> 00:08:23,670 parts from nanoracks as well as pumpkin 142 00:08:29,909 --> 00:08:25,680 space 143 00:08:33,190 --> 00:08:29,919 and this is the assembly of our 144 00:08:35,670 --> 00:08:33,200 solar panels uh here uh 145 00:08:37,110 --> 00:08:35,680 one thing i really enjoyed here was that 146 00:08:40,389 --> 00:08:37,120 everybody got to learn 147 00:08:43,029 --> 00:08:40,399 how to solder and so in this clip 148 00:08:44,070 --> 00:08:43,039 you can see we're putting the solar 149 00:08:46,630 --> 00:08:44,080 panels on 150 00:08:48,310 --> 00:08:46,640 and this specifically is where we're 151 00:08:50,949 --> 00:08:48,320 soldering the wires together 152 00:08:51,990 --> 00:08:50,959 and then when you see the heat gun we're 153 00:08:53,670 --> 00:08:52,000 putting heat wrap 154 00:08:55,430 --> 00:08:53,680 around the wires so it doesn't short 155 00:08:59,350 --> 00:08:55,440 anything out 156 00:09:02,389 --> 00:08:59,360 so along with our mission of tracking 157 00:09:05,269 --> 00:09:02,399 the forest fire regrowth we also hope to 158 00:09:06,310 --> 00:09:05,279 build curriculum for other middle 159 00:09:08,710 --> 00:09:06,320 schools and 160 00:09:09,509 --> 00:09:08,720 schools around the globe to create 161 00:09:12,550 --> 00:09:09,519 satellites 162 00:09:15,190 --> 00:09:12,560 and become more invested in space like 163 00:09:16,230 --> 00:09:15,200 all of our students are i think one 164 00:09:18,550 --> 00:09:16,240 thing about a 165 00:09:20,150 --> 00:09:18,560 satellite that's really cool is that 166 00:09:21,670 --> 00:09:20,160 it's not going to just be about the 167 00:09:23,750 --> 00:09:21,680 mission it's going to be about 168 00:09:24,949 --> 00:09:23,760 people be able to go into the class and 169 00:09:26,710 --> 00:09:24,959 say oh cool i'm 170 00:09:28,310 --> 00:09:26,720 i'm communicating with the satellite 171 00:09:30,790 --> 00:09:28,320 that's up there in space that 172 00:09:33,269 --> 00:09:30,800 our class sent up and that's how they're 173 00:09:35,190 --> 00:09:33,279 going to learn is based off of all those 174 00:09:36,710 --> 00:09:35,200 different sciences there's camera 175 00:09:38,949 --> 00:09:36,720 sciences and 176 00:09:40,470 --> 00:09:38,959 electronics and all this stuff that goes 177 00:09:43,670 --> 00:09:40,480 into it so 178 00:09:45,990 --> 00:09:43,680 anybody who takes the classes can be 179 00:09:47,030 --> 00:09:46,000 like satisfied by the different types of 180 00:09:48,829 --> 00:09:47,040 sciences in there 181 00:09:50,630 --> 00:09:48,839 and everybody can learn something from 182 00:09:55,590 --> 00:09:50,640 it 183 00:09:58,070 --> 00:09:55,600 now we have already our first questions 184 00:10:01,430 --> 00:09:58,080 from social media 185 00:10:02,069 --> 00:10:01,440 one mom is asking she says her son who 186 00:10:03,750 --> 00:10:02,079 is nine 187 00:10:05,190 --> 00:10:03,760 would like to know how you transfer 188 00:10:07,430 --> 00:10:05,200 items to the space station 189 00:10:09,030 --> 00:10:07,440 safely he's concerned the air will leak 190 00:10:10,389 --> 00:10:09,040 out i think maybe that question's for 191 00:10:12,310 --> 00:10:10,399 you jamie 192 00:10:13,430 --> 00:10:12,320 well that's a great question actually 193 00:10:16,710 --> 00:10:13,440 and it's a very 194 00:10:17,269 --> 00:10:16,720 important and we do do a lot spend a lot 195 00:10:20,389 --> 00:10:17,279 of time 196 00:10:21,430 --> 00:10:20,399 making sure our experiments are triple 197 00:10:23,190 --> 00:10:21,440 checked and 198 00:10:24,550 --> 00:10:23,200 and one of the ways that we do that is 199 00:10:27,590 --> 00:10:24,560 we do leak tests 200 00:10:29,030 --> 00:10:27,600 so just like that student asked we have 201 00:10:31,750 --> 00:10:29,040 for example 202 00:10:32,069 --> 00:10:31,760 the in in my case of the umami mission 203 00:10:36,150 --> 00:10:32,079 we 204 00:10:36,870 --> 00:10:36,160 have the tiny para larvae or juvenile 205 00:10:38,790 --> 00:10:36,880 squid 206 00:10:41,110 --> 00:10:38,800 that are going to go in these little 207 00:10:42,550 --> 00:10:41,120 bags that have these valves that will 208 00:10:44,710 --> 00:10:42,560 allow 209 00:10:46,470 --> 00:10:44,720 seawater to kind of move into these 210 00:10:47,269 --> 00:10:46,480 environments and we don't want them to 211 00:10:49,190 --> 00:10:47,279 leak so 212 00:10:50,550 --> 00:10:49,200 what we do is we do a whole series of 213 00:10:52,550 --> 00:10:50,560 checks where 214 00:10:54,310 --> 00:10:52,560 we do pressure tests and we check to 215 00:10:57,190 --> 00:10:54,320 make sure that there's no leaks 216 00:10:58,870 --> 00:10:57,200 so that the squid have plenty of water 217 00:11:01,110 --> 00:10:58,880 for the whole duration 218 00:11:02,470 --> 00:11:01,120 and so that's a really important 219 00:11:04,150 --> 00:11:02,480 question and we do 220 00:11:06,310 --> 00:11:04,160 practice these kinds of experiments all 221 00:11:09,990 --> 00:11:06,320 the time to make sure that 222 00:11:10,550 --> 00:11:10,000 um all of these uh components of the 223 00:11:14,550 --> 00:11:10,560 space 224 00:11:16,310 --> 00:11:14,560 hardware are intact and ready to go 225 00:11:17,750 --> 00:11:16,320 very important you know i understand 226 00:11:19,990 --> 00:11:17,760 you've been working 227 00:11:21,509 --> 00:11:20,000 all last night and still have tonight to 228 00:11:23,670 --> 00:11:21,519 work to make sure that 229 00:11:24,630 --> 00:11:23,680 everything's good to go is that correct 230 00:11:26,630 --> 00:11:24,640 absolutely so 231 00:11:28,310 --> 00:11:26,640 for example the tiny squid that we're 232 00:11:31,430 --> 00:11:28,320 going to be using was were 233 00:11:33,030 --> 00:11:31,440 hatched at 1 30 this morning so we've 234 00:11:35,030 --> 00:11:33,040 been processing and getting them 235 00:11:37,590 --> 00:11:35,040 together and putting them in their bags 236 00:11:40,069 --> 00:11:37,600 and into the hardware uh and that's 237 00:11:41,430 --> 00:11:40,079 taken a few hours so we're still in the 238 00:11:43,670 --> 00:11:41,440 leak test 239 00:11:45,670 --> 00:11:43,680 phase but we are about to turn it over 240 00:11:48,389 --> 00:11:45,680 to spacex 241 00:11:49,430 --> 00:11:48,399 so soon now we have a question for you 242 00:11:51,030 --> 00:11:49,440 joe and jonathan 243 00:11:52,790 --> 00:11:51,040 how do you feel knowing that your 244 00:11:55,990 --> 00:11:52,800 cubesat is going to space 245 00:11:58,230 --> 00:11:56,000 tomorrow honestly 246 00:11:59,750 --> 00:11:58,240 i really think it's really cool that 247 00:12:00,470 --> 00:11:59,760 something we've been working on for the 248 00:12:03,590 --> 00:12:00,480 past six 249 00:12:05,269 --> 00:12:03,600 seven years is finally going up i know 250 00:12:07,110 --> 00:12:05,279 about a year ago we were going to send 251 00:12:09,430 --> 00:12:07,120 it up and there was a short in the 252 00:12:10,629 --> 00:12:09,440 microprocessor so it got delayed a whole 253 00:12:13,350 --> 00:12:10,639 bunch of time now 254 00:12:14,389 --> 00:12:13,360 but it's about time now we can finally 255 00:12:16,629 --> 00:12:14,399 get to watch it 256 00:12:17,829 --> 00:12:16,639 and uh one thing is we haven't seen a 257 00:12:20,790 --> 00:12:17,839 launch before 258 00:12:22,150 --> 00:12:20,800 so it should be really fun yeah i feel 259 00:12:25,350 --> 00:12:22,160 ecstatic knowing 260 00:12:28,230 --> 00:12:25,360 that kids from robertsville 261 00:12:29,350 --> 00:12:28,240 who have gone on to be even sophomores 262 00:12:31,590 --> 00:12:29,360 in college 263 00:12:33,750 --> 00:12:31,600 now can see their hard work paying off 264 00:12:38,389 --> 00:12:33,760 starting from just an idea to 265 00:12:41,430 --> 00:12:38,399 actually a satellite going up into space 266 00:12:44,069 --> 00:12:41,440 absolutely you see here here's another 267 00:12:49,750 --> 00:12:44,079 video of students 268 00:12:53,190 --> 00:12:52,069 that's great a long time in the making 269 00:12:55,269 --> 00:12:53,200 for sure 270 00:12:56,470 --> 00:12:55,279 thomas we have a question for you how 271 00:12:59,750 --> 00:12:56,480 did water bears 272 00:13:00,310 --> 00:12:59,760 get their name oh that's a great 273 00:13:02,949 --> 00:13:00,320 question 274 00:13:05,190 --> 00:13:02,959 and i think we actually have a video of 275 00:13:07,430 --> 00:13:05,200 a water bear 276 00:13:08,470 --> 00:13:07,440 if we can play that but yeah the first 277 00:13:11,190 --> 00:13:08,480 time that they were 278 00:13:12,069 --> 00:13:11,200 discovered um the the scientists that 279 00:13:14,069 --> 00:13:12,079 saw them 280 00:13:15,750 --> 00:13:14,079 thought like that they they sort of 281 00:13:18,949 --> 00:13:15,760 walked and stepped 282 00:13:20,949 --> 00:13:18,959 like uh like the gate of a bear um and 283 00:13:23,350 --> 00:13:20,959 since they're aquatic organisms 284 00:13:24,230 --> 00:13:23,360 water bear was the the name that that he 285 00:13:26,949 --> 00:13:24,240 settled on 286 00:13:28,389 --> 00:13:26,959 um and their scientific name tardigrade 287 00:13:31,030 --> 00:13:28,399 uh actually means slow 288 00:13:34,069 --> 00:13:31,040 stepper so here's just kind of a an 289 00:13:35,269 --> 00:13:34,079 enlarged image of a tardigrade 290 00:13:37,190 --> 00:13:35,279 that you can see there but that's how 291 00:13:41,110 --> 00:13:37,200 they got their name 292 00:13:45,030 --> 00:13:42,710 jamie we have a question from our nasa 293 00:13:47,430 --> 00:13:45,040 social group have these symbiotic squids 294 00:13:49,670 --> 00:13:47,440 been to space before if so 295 00:13:51,990 --> 00:13:49,680 what did you learn yes they have been a 296 00:13:53,910 --> 00:13:52,000 space they went to space on the space 297 00:13:57,189 --> 00:13:53,920 shuttle atlantis and 298 00:13:59,990 --> 00:13:57,199 uh in 2011. and what we learned 299 00:14:01,670 --> 00:14:00,000 from that uh experiment was that the 300 00:14:02,069 --> 00:14:01,680 squid is probably going to be a really 301 00:14:05,910 --> 00:14:02,079 good 302 00:14:08,470 --> 00:14:05,920 model for looking at how early 303 00:14:09,350 --> 00:14:08,480 dialogues between microbes and animals 304 00:14:10,949 --> 00:14:09,360 start 305 00:14:12,629 --> 00:14:10,959 so when the squid and we have a couple 306 00:14:14,710 --> 00:14:12,639 photos um there's 307 00:14:16,150 --> 00:14:14,720 there's a video right now of the squid 308 00:14:17,829 --> 00:14:16,160 hatching 309 00:14:19,350 --> 00:14:17,839 and so when they're born they're born 310 00:14:21,750 --> 00:14:19,360 without bacteria 311 00:14:22,949 --> 00:14:21,760 and so when the they flew before we 312 00:14:25,910 --> 00:14:22,959 learned that they can 313 00:14:26,870 --> 00:14:25,920 colonize that even in microgravity you 314 00:14:28,550 --> 00:14:26,880 can have your 315 00:14:30,150 --> 00:14:28,560 proper symbionts your beneficial 316 00:14:30,790 --> 00:14:30,160 microbes find where they're supposed to 317 00:14:34,230 --> 00:14:30,800 go 318 00:14:36,470 --> 00:14:34,240 so they they were able to colonize the 319 00:14:37,509 --> 00:14:36,480 the squid has a special organ called the 320 00:14:39,509 --> 00:14:37,519 light organ 321 00:14:40,550 --> 00:14:39,519 and the bacteria colonize this light 322 00:14:42,870 --> 00:14:40,560 organ and they're 323 00:14:44,230 --> 00:14:42,880 luminescent they're bioluminescent so 324 00:14:47,269 --> 00:14:44,240 the squid has the ability to 325 00:14:49,430 --> 00:14:47,279 has the ability to glow in the dark so 326 00:14:50,310 --> 00:14:49,440 the squid uses that as an anti-predator 327 00:14:53,430 --> 00:14:50,320 behavior 328 00:14:57,110 --> 00:14:53,440 and what we learned from that first 329 00:14:59,350 --> 00:14:57,120 mission 10 years ago was that 330 00:15:00,629 --> 00:14:59,360 the squid is going to make a great model 331 00:15:03,829 --> 00:15:00,639 because the bacteria do 332 00:15:06,069 --> 00:15:03,839 find where they're going and they can 333 00:15:07,750 --> 00:15:06,079 uh initiate the colonization in the 334 00:15:09,350 --> 00:15:07,760 space environment and we can track that 335 00:15:12,150 --> 00:15:09,360 and we can follow that 336 00:15:14,949 --> 00:15:12,160 so that's why we're going again and 337 00:15:17,110 --> 00:15:14,959 looking at a little bit more 338 00:15:19,430 --> 00:15:17,120 deeper questions about the actual 339 00:15:20,069 --> 00:15:19,440 processes the fundamental processes of 340 00:15:21,670 --> 00:15:20,079 how 341 00:15:23,189 --> 00:15:21,680 the bacteria are starting our 342 00:15:25,670 --> 00:15:23,199 conversation with the animal tissue 343 00:15:27,910 --> 00:15:25,680 so we're building on those previous 344 00:15:30,310 --> 00:15:27,920 experiments from 10 years ago 345 00:15:32,389 --> 00:15:30,320 that's very interesting and also a long 346 00:15:34,710 --> 00:15:32,399 time in the making 347 00:15:36,310 --> 00:15:34,720 joe jonathan another question for you we 348 00:15:40,230 --> 00:15:36,320 want to know how many students 349 00:15:43,670 --> 00:15:40,240 worked on ramsat so a total of 350 00:15:47,189 --> 00:15:43,680 93 students have worked on ramsat 351 00:15:47,829 --> 00:15:47,199 and this includes uh former robertsville 352 00:15:51,030 --> 00:15:47,839 students 353 00:15:51,749 --> 00:15:51,040 two current eighth graders so all the 354 00:15:55,430 --> 00:15:51,759 way from 355 00:15:58,710 --> 00:15:55,440 sophomores in college two eighth graders 356 00:15:59,509 --> 00:15:58,720 have worked on this project set up the 357 00:16:02,710 --> 00:15:59,519 ideas 358 00:16:06,629 --> 00:16:02,720 given presentations and help 359 00:16:08,310 --> 00:16:06,639 make this dream become a reality 360 00:16:11,189 --> 00:16:08,320 yeah one thing i remember about working 361 00:16:13,189 --> 00:16:11,199 on it is in class at first it was just 362 00:16:14,790 --> 00:16:13,199 all the presentations like what does the 363 00:16:16,870 --> 00:16:14,800 magnetworker do what is 364 00:16:18,710 --> 00:16:16,880 the solar panels what what do all those 365 00:16:21,189 --> 00:16:18,720 things do in the satellite 366 00:16:22,870 --> 00:16:21,199 and so we all learned about it and so 367 00:16:24,790 --> 00:16:22,880 all these videos we had 368 00:16:27,430 --> 00:16:24,800 after school time that we all just went 369 00:16:29,590 --> 00:16:27,440 in and worked on the satellite 370 00:16:31,110 --> 00:16:29,600 all these were from after the first 371 00:16:33,990 --> 00:16:31,120 delay that we had 372 00:16:34,629 --> 00:16:34,000 and so i i just remember going in at all 373 00:16:36,550 --> 00:16:34,639 those 374 00:16:39,509 --> 00:16:36,560 after school times and helping to work 375 00:16:42,949 --> 00:16:39,519 on it i think that was really cool 376 00:16:44,069 --> 00:16:42,959 yep and this was all done thanks in part 377 00:16:47,749 --> 00:16:44,079 to our 378 00:16:52,310 --> 00:16:47,759 37 mentors who worked 379 00:16:56,629 --> 00:16:52,320 hard hours to help us 380 00:17:02,870 --> 00:17:00,230 help get this satellite up there 381 00:17:04,309 --> 00:17:02,880 absolutely and i believe you also have 382 00:17:06,789 --> 00:17:04,319 the names engraved of all the 383 00:17:09,829 --> 00:17:06,799 participants can you show us that 384 00:17:12,789 --> 00:17:09,839 yes here in our ballast we have actually 385 00:17:13,669 --> 00:17:12,799 the names of every student who's worked 386 00:17:16,870 --> 00:17:13,679 on it 387 00:17:17,350 --> 00:17:16,880 and on the side we have the names of all 388 00:17:20,549 --> 00:17:17,360 of the 389 00:17:21,429 --> 00:17:20,559 mentors as well as the name of our 390 00:17:25,189 --> 00:17:21,439 ramsat 391 00:17:28,390 --> 00:17:25,199 this is a this is one of our ballasts 392 00:17:31,190 --> 00:17:28,400 the actual ballast is on the ram set in 393 00:17:32,230 --> 00:17:31,200 about the middle so all the students who 394 00:17:35,110 --> 00:17:32,240 worked on it will 395 00:17:36,390 --> 00:17:35,120 get their names in space that's awesome 396 00:17:39,270 --> 00:17:36,400 you can officially say 397 00:17:41,110 --> 00:17:39,280 i have had my name fly in space uh 398 00:17:46,470 --> 00:17:41,120 thomas we have a question from twitter 399 00:17:49,270 --> 00:17:46,480 can water bears survive on mars 400 00:17:50,230 --> 00:17:49,280 that's a that's a great question um you 401 00:17:52,150 --> 00:17:50,240 know i think 402 00:17:54,070 --> 00:17:52,160 they've been shown to survive in the 403 00:17:57,029 --> 00:17:54,080 vacuum of outer space 404 00:17:59,190 --> 00:17:57,039 um in sort of a a metabolic or or a 405 00:18:02,230 --> 00:17:59,200 state of suspended animation 406 00:18:05,029 --> 00:18:02,240 so you know i think of if any uh 407 00:18:06,310 --> 00:18:05,039 organism or animal from earth could 408 00:18:09,669 --> 00:18:06,320 survive on mars 409 00:18:12,549 --> 00:18:09,679 tardigrades would be a great candidate 410 00:18:15,029 --> 00:18:12,559 well that's good to know jamie why do 411 00:18:17,270 --> 00:18:15,039 humans rely on microbes 412 00:18:18,310 --> 00:18:17,280 well microbes are essential for all 413 00:18:21,029 --> 00:18:18,320 parts of our 414 00:18:22,470 --> 00:18:21,039 normal development our behaviors our 415 00:18:25,990 --> 00:18:22,480 physiology 416 00:18:28,549 --> 00:18:26,000 we live in a microbial world and we have 417 00:18:29,669 --> 00:18:28,559 more microbial cells in our body than 418 00:18:33,590 --> 00:18:29,679 animal cells 419 00:18:35,990 --> 00:18:33,600 so we rely extensively on how 420 00:18:37,909 --> 00:18:36,000 that that microbe that we understand how 421 00:18:38,710 --> 00:18:37,919 these microbes are communicating with 422 00:18:42,070 --> 00:18:38,720 our bodies 423 00:18:44,230 --> 00:18:42,080 and so that it's a critical for us 424 00:18:45,270 --> 00:18:44,240 to ask these fundamental questions of 425 00:18:50,789 --> 00:18:45,280 how do you 426 00:18:53,110 --> 00:18:50,799 association with a beneficial microbe a 427 00:18:55,190 --> 00:18:53,120 lot of people focus on the pathogens 428 00:18:56,230 --> 00:18:55,200 but most of the microbes that associate 429 00:18:58,390 --> 00:18:56,240 with our bodies are 430 00:19:00,150 --> 00:18:58,400 good for us they're beneficial microbes 431 00:19:02,470 --> 00:19:00,160 and so we're trying to 432 00:19:03,750 --> 00:19:02,480 expand our knowledge about what all 433 00:19:06,150 --> 00:19:03,760 microbes are doing 434 00:19:07,510 --> 00:19:06,160 uh with our with the body and how the 435 00:19:09,990 --> 00:19:07,520 space environment 436 00:19:10,950 --> 00:19:10,000 might be impacting positively or 437 00:19:13,590 --> 00:19:10,960 negatively 438 00:19:15,909 --> 00:19:13,600 on those associations right i mean do 439 00:19:17,590 --> 00:19:15,919 you have any idea on 440 00:19:19,909 --> 00:19:17,600 whether or not the space environment 441 00:19:21,909 --> 00:19:19,919 does have a positive or negative impact 442 00:19:24,710 --> 00:19:21,919 well we have a lot there are a lot of 443 00:19:27,590 --> 00:19:24,720 studies to show that microbes do change 444 00:19:29,590 --> 00:19:27,600 their behavior their physiology in space 445 00:19:30,950 --> 00:19:29,600 and so a lot of the work well in the 446 00:19:34,310 --> 00:19:30,960 case of the squid 447 00:19:36,150 --> 00:19:34,320 symbiosis we have a lot of ground-based 448 00:19:37,590 --> 00:19:36,160 studies and now we want to validate a 449 00:19:40,710 --> 00:19:37,600 lot of our hypotheses 450 00:19:44,230 --> 00:19:40,720 by flying him in space and seeing if 451 00:19:45,590 --> 00:19:44,240 if our our ideas that we have on the 452 00:19:47,350 --> 00:19:45,600 ground or our 453 00:19:49,590 --> 00:19:47,360 results from the ground are going to 454 00:19:50,789 --> 00:19:49,600 actually be validated in the space 455 00:19:53,990 --> 00:19:50,799 environment 456 00:19:56,630 --> 00:19:54,000 well let's hope joe jonathan 457 00:19:59,270 --> 00:19:56,640 how will your cubesat generate energy as 458 00:20:01,750 --> 00:19:59,280 it orbits earth 459 00:20:03,590 --> 00:20:01,760 it's actually pretty cool so the solar 460 00:20:06,070 --> 00:20:03,600 panels on the outside 461 00:20:07,669 --> 00:20:06,080 whenever it's in the sunlight part of 462 00:20:09,909 --> 00:20:07,679 the earth because it's going 463 00:20:11,270 --> 00:20:09,919 well like 17 000 miles an hour it's 464 00:20:14,470 --> 00:20:11,280 really fast so 465 00:20:17,270 --> 00:20:14,480 a day goes by really fast for it but 466 00:20:18,710 --> 00:20:17,280 in those few minutes or hours of time 467 00:20:21,590 --> 00:20:18,720 whatever it takes for it 468 00:20:23,029 --> 00:20:21,600 to be in the sun part the solar panels 469 00:20:25,830 --> 00:20:23,039 charge the battery 470 00:20:26,710 --> 00:20:25,840 this is a real uh version of the battery 471 00:20:30,470 --> 00:20:26,720 here 472 00:20:33,430 --> 00:20:30,480 and um it'll it'll charge the batteries 473 00:20:34,070 --> 00:20:33,440 and power it if somebody happens to send 474 00:20:37,190 --> 00:20:34,080 the request 475 00:20:38,950 --> 00:20:37,200 to take a picture but 476 00:20:40,870 --> 00:20:38,960 if it's in the dark the battery's 477 00:20:41,830 --> 00:20:40,880 charging it or yeah the battery is 478 00:20:44,710 --> 00:20:41,840 powering it 479 00:20:45,590 --> 00:20:44,720 so it's this big cycle of when it gets 480 00:20:47,270 --> 00:20:45,600 in the 481 00:20:49,270 --> 00:20:47,280 when it gets into the sun the solar 482 00:20:52,310 --> 00:20:49,280 panels are charging it and then 483 00:20:55,029 --> 00:20:52,320 it just cycles we can actually 484 00:20:57,190 --> 00:20:55,039 monitor the amount of voltage that the 485 00:21:00,390 --> 00:20:57,200 solar panels are producing 486 00:21:01,510 --> 00:21:00,400 through the solar cells and the flight 487 00:21:04,549 --> 00:21:01,520 computer 488 00:21:06,310 --> 00:21:04,559 that's on our satellite cool 489 00:21:07,590 --> 00:21:06,320 will you get will you guys be one of the 490 00:21:13,270 --> 00:21:07,600 um 491 00:21:14,390 --> 00:21:13,280 observing or monitoring that voltage 492 00:21:16,789 --> 00:21:14,400 once 493 00:21:17,830 --> 00:21:16,799 ramsack goes up in space yeah uh one 494 00:21:19,430 --> 00:21:17,840 thing we were saying we were talking 495 00:21:21,350 --> 00:21:19,440 about the after school meetings uh i 496 00:21:22,710 --> 00:21:21,360 think we're still gonna do those and one 497 00:21:25,750 --> 00:21:22,720 cool thing we're gonna do is 498 00:21:28,549 --> 00:21:25,760 keep checking all those telemetry values 499 00:21:30,070 --> 00:21:28,559 like for one thing the ramsay sends out 500 00:21:31,830 --> 00:21:30,080 a beacon like all satellites 501 00:21:34,549 --> 00:21:31,840 if you know sputnik everybody knows that 502 00:21:36,630 --> 00:21:34,559 satellite has the recognizable like beep 503 00:21:38,549 --> 00:21:36,640 and that's the telemetry being set out 504 00:21:40,070 --> 00:21:38,559 like the battery voltage and where it's 505 00:21:43,350 --> 00:21:40,080 at 506 00:21:45,190 --> 00:21:43,360 facebook 507 00:21:48,070 --> 00:21:45,200 is this the first time water bears are 508 00:21:53,990 --> 00:21:50,950 uh it actually is not so water bears 509 00:21:57,350 --> 00:21:54,000 have been up in space before 510 00:21:57,990 --> 00:21:57,360 and we know that these really tough 511 00:22:01,029 --> 00:21:58,000 robust 512 00:22:03,830 --> 00:22:01,039 animals are able to survive 513 00:22:05,270 --> 00:22:03,840 not only space flight but also in the 514 00:22:07,590 --> 00:22:05,280 vacuum of outer space 515 00:22:08,470 --> 00:22:07,600 but what we don't know is how they're 516 00:22:11,669 --> 00:22:08,480 doing that 517 00:22:14,870 --> 00:22:11,679 so one of the things that our mission um 518 00:22:18,149 --> 00:22:14,880 is is looking at is how these really 519 00:22:21,029 --> 00:22:18,159 tough robust animals respond to being 520 00:22:24,390 --> 00:22:21,039 in this really stressful environment um 521 00:22:26,470 --> 00:22:24,400 for a prolonged period of time 522 00:22:27,590 --> 00:22:26,480 i understand your um your the main 523 00:22:29,830 --> 00:22:27,600 experience to figure out 524 00:22:31,029 --> 00:22:29,840 how they're being able to survive do you 525 00:22:35,430 --> 00:22:31,039 have any 526 00:22:39,190 --> 00:22:35,440 ideas any preconceived maybe 527 00:22:40,149 --> 00:22:39,200 yeah so right so one of the the sort of 528 00:22:42,870 --> 00:22:40,159 two main 529 00:22:43,909 --> 00:22:42,880 stressors um during spaceflight uh are 530 00:22:47,270 --> 00:22:43,919 microgravity 531 00:22:50,470 --> 00:22:47,280 and increased radiation so we'll be 532 00:22:51,190 --> 00:22:50,480 looking to see what genes what parts of 533 00:22:57,909 --> 00:22:51,200 the 534 00:23:00,630 --> 00:22:57,919 space flight 535 00:23:01,110 --> 00:23:00,640 and so for example we would suspect that 536 00:23:04,470 --> 00:23:01,120 things 537 00:23:07,750 --> 00:23:04,480 involved with you know dna repair 538 00:23:08,070 --> 00:23:07,760 or other other mechanisms for coping 539 00:23:10,470 --> 00:23:08,080 with 540 00:23:11,909 --> 00:23:10,480 say increased radiation would would be 541 00:23:14,070 --> 00:23:11,919 upregulated or 542 00:23:15,510 --> 00:23:14,080 or you know turned on more by these 543 00:23:17,190 --> 00:23:15,520 animals to cope with those sort of 544 00:23:19,590 --> 00:23:17,200 stresses 545 00:23:21,830 --> 00:23:19,600 well that'll be interesting to find out 546 00:23:23,190 --> 00:23:21,840 jamie i heard your handover or turnover 547 00:23:24,710 --> 00:23:23,200 it's happening tonight 548 00:23:26,390 --> 00:23:24,720 can you tell us a little bit more about 549 00:23:27,029 --> 00:23:26,400 the last minute preparations that are 550 00:23:28,789 --> 00:23:27,039 needed 551 00:23:30,950 --> 00:23:28,799 before you can send your experiment up 552 00:23:33,350 --> 00:23:30,960 to space absolutely so 553 00:23:34,710 --> 00:23:33,360 the animals are very young they just 554 00:23:37,590 --> 00:23:34,720 were hatched 555 00:23:39,590 --> 00:23:37,600 about seven or eight hours ago and so we 556 00:23:42,070 --> 00:23:39,600 are trying to prepare them 557 00:23:43,830 --> 00:23:42,080 by putting them inside their their 558 00:23:44,710 --> 00:23:43,840 little flight hardware here these little 559 00:23:46,630 --> 00:23:44,720 bags 560 00:23:49,590 --> 00:23:46,640 and we're getting ready and assembling 561 00:23:52,549 --> 00:23:49,600 the hardware as we speak and doing 562 00:23:53,350 --> 00:23:52,559 leak tests as we mentioned before and so 563 00:23:55,430 --> 00:23:53,360 all of that 564 00:23:56,950 --> 00:23:55,440 will be done in the next couple hours 565 00:23:59,029 --> 00:23:56,960 and then it'll be 566 00:24:00,230 --> 00:23:59,039 traveled over to the spacex rocket and 567 00:24:02,549 --> 00:24:00,240 put into 568 00:24:04,310 --> 00:24:02,559 the the heart the flight hardware will 569 00:24:06,070 --> 00:24:04,320 be put into the rocket and will be ready 570 00:24:08,390 --> 00:24:06,080 to go in a couple hours 571 00:24:10,630 --> 00:24:08,400 how does it feel to know that you are so 572 00:24:13,190 --> 00:24:10,640 close to kind of giving away 573 00:24:13,830 --> 00:24:13,200 you know this experiment that's sort of 574 00:24:17,110 --> 00:24:13,840 your 575 00:24:18,710 --> 00:24:17,120 pet project it has been a long i mean as 576 00:24:20,870 --> 00:24:18,720 we talked about on the shuttle flight 577 00:24:24,310 --> 00:24:20,880 it's been 10 years since the last and 578 00:24:26,149 --> 00:24:24,320 and it takes a long time to to kind of 579 00:24:28,470 --> 00:24:26,159 make sure everything's right to get your 580 00:24:30,950 --> 00:24:28,480 scientific ideas validated and checked 581 00:24:31,990 --> 00:24:30,960 and and so it's a long process so it's 582 00:24:35,190 --> 00:24:32,000 very rewarding 583 00:24:35,990 --> 00:24:35,200 and very exciting to know that we're 584 00:24:39,110 --> 00:24:36,000 just uh 585 00:24:40,630 --> 00:24:39,120 hours away now from actually seeing some 586 00:24:44,710 --> 00:24:40,640 great science happen 587 00:24:46,630 --> 00:24:44,720 um up on the uh spacex and on station 588 00:24:48,310 --> 00:24:46,640 that is that's very exciting i can only 589 00:24:50,149 --> 00:24:48,320 imagine you are very much looking 590 00:24:53,269 --> 00:24:50,159 forward to launch tomorrow 591 00:24:57,830 --> 00:24:53,279 uh joe jonathan now we want to know how 592 00:25:01,190 --> 00:24:57,840 big is the cubesat or ram set exactly 593 00:25:04,390 --> 00:25:01,200 so our ram set is 594 00:25:06,070 --> 00:25:04,400 100 millimeters by 100 millimeters by 595 00:25:09,110 --> 00:25:06,080 200 millimeters 596 00:25:11,830 --> 00:25:09,120 or to put it in imperial terms four 597 00:25:13,269 --> 00:25:11,840 inches by four inches by eight inches 598 00:25:14,789 --> 00:25:13,279 one thing we were talking about if you 599 00:25:16,789 --> 00:25:14,799 want in comparison to that it's 600 00:25:19,590 --> 00:25:16,799 basically the size of a little milk jug 601 00:25:22,710 --> 00:25:19,600 one of those half gallon ones 602 00:25:24,870 --> 00:25:22,720 it's a very small satellite but it 603 00:25:28,310 --> 00:25:24,880 performs all of its functions 604 00:25:30,310 --> 00:25:28,320 to the best of its ability and 605 00:25:32,390 --> 00:25:30,320 we're excited to see it go up this is a 606 00:25:35,430 --> 00:25:32,400 one one to one scale model 607 00:25:38,310 --> 00:25:35,440 if you're wondering that's awesome 608 00:25:40,310 --> 00:25:38,320 uh jamie ashley from twitter is asking 609 00:25:43,029 --> 00:25:40,320 her three-year-old cousin wants to know 610 00:25:45,510 --> 00:25:43,039 why baby squid glow in the dark 611 00:25:47,269 --> 00:25:45,520 so the bacteria so they have a special 612 00:25:49,510 --> 00:25:47,279 relationship with a bacterium 613 00:25:50,710 --> 00:25:49,520 called vibrio fischeri and the vibrio 614 00:25:52,470 --> 00:25:50,720 fischeri 615 00:25:53,830 --> 00:25:52,480 is the powerhouse behind the 616 00:25:56,390 --> 00:25:53,840 glow-in-the-dark squid 617 00:25:56,870 --> 00:25:56,400 it's a bioluminescent bacteria that is 618 00:25:59,190 --> 00:25:56,880 found 619 00:26:00,230 --> 00:25:59,200 normally in the environment but it only 620 00:26:02,230 --> 00:26:00,240 starts to glow 621 00:26:03,830 --> 00:26:02,240 inside the squid when there's enough of 622 00:26:06,549 --> 00:26:03,840 them growing inside 623 00:26:07,350 --> 00:26:06,559 the light organ here of this of this 624 00:26:10,310 --> 00:26:07,360 squid 625 00:26:10,950 --> 00:26:10,320 and so once the light is generated the 626 00:26:14,230 --> 00:26:10,960 squid 627 00:26:15,190 --> 00:26:14,240 actually uses it as a way to hide from 628 00:26:17,669 --> 00:26:15,200 predators 629 00:26:20,070 --> 00:26:17,679 it can act like a cloaking device so 630 00:26:20,710 --> 00:26:20,080 that the squid casts no shadow in the 631 00:26:23,430 --> 00:26:20,720 water 632 00:26:23,750 --> 00:26:23,440 and any predator looking up can't see 633 00:26:29,750 --> 00:26:23,760 the 634 00:26:32,630 --> 00:26:29,760 animal 635 00:26:33,830 --> 00:26:32,640 to hide itself and uh protect itself 636 00:26:36,230 --> 00:26:33,840 from predators 637 00:26:37,029 --> 00:26:36,240 wow i can only imagine if humans had 638 00:26:39,269 --> 00:26:37,039 that same 639 00:26:40,070 --> 00:26:39,279 it's glowing in the dark harry potter 640 00:26:43,350 --> 00:26:40,080 cloaking device 641 00:26:45,029 --> 00:26:43,360 right here exactly uh thomas 642 00:26:47,190 --> 00:26:45,039 can you tell us a little bit more about 643 00:26:51,190 --> 00:26:47,200 why space flight is considered such a 644 00:26:55,590 --> 00:26:54,549 yeah absolutely so uh so organisms like 645 00:26:58,230 --> 00:26:55,600 like ourselves 646 00:27:00,710 --> 00:26:58,240 that evolved here on earth are used to 647 00:27:03,029 --> 00:27:00,720 the the conditions here on earth so we 648 00:27:04,390 --> 00:27:03,039 are used to the the gravity that we 649 00:27:06,630 --> 00:27:04,400 experience here on earth 650 00:27:08,070 --> 00:27:06,640 and the relatively low levels of 651 00:27:11,190 --> 00:27:08,080 background radiation 652 00:27:13,750 --> 00:27:11,200 but when you go up into space um you 653 00:27:14,710 --> 00:27:13,760 you're in a microgravity environment and 654 00:27:17,590 --> 00:27:14,720 there's much more 655 00:27:19,029 --> 00:27:17,600 radiation so so organisms that aren't 656 00:27:21,110 --> 00:27:19,039 used to that 657 00:27:22,789 --> 00:27:21,120 that can be an extremely stressful uh 658 00:27:24,870 --> 00:27:22,799 sort of environment and so 659 00:27:26,789 --> 00:27:24,880 by understanding how these really tough 660 00:27:28,149 --> 00:27:26,799 little tardigrades are able to survive 661 00:27:30,870 --> 00:27:28,159 in those conditions 662 00:27:33,029 --> 00:27:30,880 we're hoping to be able to develop 663 00:27:35,350 --> 00:27:33,039 strategies or counter measures 664 00:27:36,789 --> 00:27:35,360 to safeguard astronauts from those 665 00:27:38,549 --> 00:27:36,799 stresses 666 00:27:39,990 --> 00:27:38,559 well that's good news i know i'd like to 667 00:27:42,470 --> 00:27:40,000 go to space one day 668 00:27:43,430 --> 00:27:42,480 um joe jonathan we have one more 669 00:27:46,870 --> 00:27:43,440 question for you 670 00:27:50,389 --> 00:27:46,880 will ramsay stay in space forever 671 00:27:53,190 --> 00:27:50,399 uh no unfortunately um about 12 months 672 00:27:53,669 --> 00:27:53,200 12 to 14 months is about how long it'll 673 00:27:55,750 --> 00:27:53,679 last 674 00:27:56,789 --> 00:27:55,760 in space until it just disintegrates in 675 00:27:58,389 --> 00:27:56,799 the atmosphere 676 00:28:00,230 --> 00:27:58,399 but we should be able to get a whole 677 00:28:02,470 --> 00:28:00,240 bunch of use out of that 678 00:28:04,230 --> 00:28:02,480 that's great now we have one final 679 00:28:05,029 --> 00:28:04,240 question from social media for all of 680 00:28:09,510 -->
