1
00:00:36,210 --> 00:00:33,420
ever since the first successful powered

2
00:00:39,090 --> 00:00:36,220
flight men has been fascinated with the

3
00:00:56,710 --> 00:00:39,100
possibility of expanding his horizons to

4
00:01:04,310 --> 00:00:59,450
unfortunately technology would take a

5
00:01:04,320 --> 00:01:21,249
but not for long

6
00:01:26,710 --> 00:01:24,170
manned spaceflight has become a reality

7
00:01:30,830 --> 00:01:26,720
which has surpassed even man's

8
00:01:34,190 --> 00:01:30,840
expectations now it's time for the next

9
00:02:03,609 --> 00:01:34,200
step Man's first permanent habitat in

10
00:02:07,190 --> 00:02:03,619
space sometime in the early 1990s NASA

11
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:07,200
plans to assemble and begin operation of

12
00:02:12,740 --> 00:02:09,090
its first permanently manned space

13
00:02:15,559 --> 00:02:12,750
station here at Marshall Space Flight

14
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:15,569
Center scientists and technicians are

15
00:02:20,150 --> 00:02:17,850
working to develop the modules which

16
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:20,160
will be used as living laboratories for

17
00:02:30,010 --> 00:02:36,250
three two one

18
00:02:41,090 --> 00:02:39,020
the space shuttle will be used to ferry

19
00:02:43,460 --> 00:02:41,100
the various space station components

20
00:02:45,140 --> 00:02:43,470
into a low-earth orbit where they are to

21
00:02:50,270 --> 00:02:45,150
be assembled as they circle the earth

22
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:50,280
over 17,000 miles per hour a variety of

23
00:02:54,410 --> 00:02:52,050
new construction methods are being

24
00:02:56,870 --> 00:02:54,420
developed as well while based on those

25
00:03:00,410 --> 00:02:56,880
used on earth they must be adapted to

26
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:00,420
the peculiarities of outer space at the

27
00:03:04,729 --> 00:03:02,370
center of the space station are the

28
00:03:07,699 --> 00:03:04,739
pressurized modules where crews will

29
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:07,709
work and live every attempt is being

30
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:09,690
made to make their environment as

31
00:03:18,640 --> 00:03:13,890
comfortable as possible the habitation

32
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:18,650
module will be used for eating sleeping

33
00:03:27,770 --> 00:03:24,410
personal hygiene waste management and

34
00:03:30,830 --> 00:03:27,780
recreation the modules will accommodate

35
00:03:33,140 --> 00:03:30,840
up to eight crew members the health

36
00:03:34,910 --> 00:03:33,150
maintenance facility is designed so the

37
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:34,920
astronauts can monitor their own

38
00:03:39,410 --> 00:03:37,050
physical condition by checking their

39
00:03:42,410 --> 00:03:39,420
vital signs and using x-rays and blood

40
00:03:43,850 --> 00:03:42,420
samples there will also be exercise

41
00:03:47,870 --> 00:03:43,860
equipment for daily physical

42
00:03:49,670 --> 00:03:47,880
conditioning the u.s. laboratory module

43
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:49,680
will provide a shirtsleeve work

44
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:51,570
environment for performing many

45
00:03:58,130 --> 00:03:53,250
different experiments including

46
00:04:02,560 --> 00:03:58,140
materials processing life sciences

47
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:02,570
research and solar system exploration

48
00:04:07,220 --> 00:04:05,250
many of the experiments require the

49
00:04:10,009 --> 00:04:07,230
unique environment of weightless space

50
00:04:11,810 --> 00:04:10,019
and offer incredible potential for

51
00:04:21,780 --> 00:04:11,820
solving a variety of medical and

52
00:04:26,950 --> 00:04:24,909
the logistics module will consist of an

53
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:26,960
interchangeable pressurized carrier

54
00:04:31,930 --> 00:04:29,450
which will provide expendable items such

55
00:04:35,860 --> 00:04:31,940
as food to be used by the space station

56
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:35,870
crew on a continuing basis the space

57
00:04:40,510 --> 00:04:38,090
station will also enable in orbit

58
00:04:43,750 --> 00:04:40,520
assembly and check out of large space

59
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:43,760
structures such as antennas astronomical

60
00:04:49,810 --> 00:04:46,490
telescopes and satellites prior to their

61
00:04:51,850 --> 00:04:49,820
deployment in their own or also the

62
00:04:54,250 --> 00:04:51,860
space station will provide an assembly
