00:00:12,310 --> 00:00:10,880
program or lsp has served as earth's

00:00:14,310 --> 00:00:12,320
bridge to space

00:00:16,870 --> 00:00:14,320
based at nasa's kennedy space center in

5
00:00:18,950 --> 00:00:16,880
florida the program matches scientific

6
00:00:21,109 --> 00:00:18,960
and robotic spacecraft with launch

7
00:00:23,349 --> 00:00:21,119
vehicles for some of america's most

8
00:00:25,429 --> 00:00:23,359
inspiring space missions

9
00:00:27,990 --> 00:00:25,439
our mission to successfully place

10
00:00:30,390 --> 00:00:28,000
spacecraft in orbit around the earth the

11
00:00:32,389 --> 00:00:30,400
sun and destinations deeper into the

12
00:00:34,790 --> 00:00:32,399
solar system

13
00:00:36,310 --> 00:00:34,800
we centralize nasa's launch services

14
00:00:37,990 --> 00:00:36,320
while addressing state-of-the-art

15
00:00:40,709 --> 00:00:38,000
customer needs

16
00:00:43,190 --> 00:00:40,719
but lsp does more than pair spacecraft

17
00:00:45,029 --> 00:00:43,200
with the appropriate rocket the diverse

18
00:00:47,990 --> 00:00:45,039
group of government and contractor

19
00:00:50,549 --> 00:00:48,000
engineers analysts and advisors certify

20
00:00:52,630 --> 00:00:50,559
rocket performance and reliability

21
00:00:54,630 --> 00:00:52,640
the team provides long-term technical

22
00:00:56,830 --> 00:00:54,640
expertise and support to spacecraft

23
00:00:59,590 --> 00:00:56,840
customers from around the

24
00:01:01,990 --> 00:00:59,600
world the team manages launches from

25
00:01:04,549 --> 00:01:02,000
multiple sites depending on customer and

between nasa and the u.s geological

40
00:01:40,230 --> 00:01:37,680
survey the mission will monitor and

41
00:01:41,350 --> 00:01:40,240
manage land resources to sustain human

space force station lucy will be the

45
00:01:50,710 --> 00:01:48,320
first mission to study jupiter's trojan

46
00:01:52,789 --> 00:01:50,720
asteroids which may be remnants of the

47
00:01:55,510 --> 00:01:52,799
primordial material that formed the

00:01:57,590 --> 00:01:55,520
outer planets of our solar system

49
00:02:01,190 --> 00:01:57,600
it's then back to the west coast for

from kennedy

55
00:02:15,830 --> 00:02:13,840
xp will expand our understanding of

56
00:02:18,630 --> 00:02:15,840
x-ray production in objects such as

57
00:02:21,110 --> 00:02:18,640
neutron stars and black holes

58
00:02:24,150 --> 00:02:21,120
