velocity 4,300 feet per second 5 00:01:15,620 --> 00:01:14,070 hello I'm Lynn Bondurant from the 6 00:01:18,500 --> 00:01:15,630 Challenger Center for space science 7 00:01:20,540 --> 00:01:18,510 education all of us at the Challenger 8 00:01:23,060 --> 00:01:20,550 cen are very pleased to learn that your 9 00:01:25,910 --> 00:01:23,070 class will soon be flying a mission to 10 00:01:27,530 --> 00:01:25,920 rendezvous with comet Halley you might 11 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:27,540 ask well what does it like to fly a 12 00:01:32,930 --> 00:01:28,170 mission 13 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:32,940 to an amusement park in writing a ride 14 00:01:37,790 --> 00:01:35,490 but it's more like being on a motion 15 00:01:41,450 --> 00:01:37,800 picture set where each one of you is a 16 00:01:43,130 --> 00:01:41,460 star in this future space mission once 17 00:01:45,980 --> 00:01:43,140 you arrive at the Challenger Learning 18 00:01:49,340 --> 00:01:45,990 Center your group will be divided in 19 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:49,350 half half of you will begin your flight 20 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:52,290 in the space station the other half and 21 00:01:57,410 --> 00:01:55,050 Mission Control you have a very 22 00:02:00,020 --> 00:01:57,420 important flight ahead of you you're 23 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:00,030 going to rendezvous with comet Halley in 24 00:02:05,780 --> 00:02:03,690 the year 2060 1 you are going to build 25 00:02:09,889 --> 00:02:05,790 upon what was learned during Halley's 26 00:02:11,930 --> 00:02:09,899 last approach near Earth in 1986 during 27 00:02:14,870 --> 00:02:11,940 this mission you are to follow comet 28 00:02:17,810 --> 00:02:14,880 Halley which is potato shaped and very 29 00:02:20,479 --> 00:02:17,820 dark doing a portion of its orbit around 30 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:20,489 the Sun your mission is to gather 31 00:02:26,180 --> 00:02:23,010 information which can be studied later 32 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:26,190 in the classroom to determine how space 33 00:02:32,180 --> 00:02:29,250 scientists can use comets such as Hallie 34 00:02:34,370 --> 00:02:32,190 to furnish the lunar research stations 35 00:02:38,590 --> 00:02:34,380 and space stations in orbit around Earth 36 00:02:40,910 --> 00:02:38,600 with resources available from comets 37 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:40,920 everyone who participates in a 38 00:02:48,110 --> 00:02:43,890 simulation is very important to the 39 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:48,120 success of the mission as such each one 40 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:51,570 of you will be assigned to a team your 41 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:53,730 team will have certain things that you 42 00:02:58,360 --> 00:02:56,330 must do that relate to the mission 43 00:03:01,009 --> 00:02:58,370 members of each team will have 44 00:03:04,490 --> 00:03:01,019 workstations in both Mission Control and 45 00:03:08,150 --> 00:03:04,500 the space station during the mission you 46 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:08,160 will work in both locations in Mission 47 00:03:13,490 --> 00:03:10,170 Control you will work at one of the 48 00:03:16,339 --> 00:03:13,500 various councils team members and 49 00:03:19,010 --> 00:03:16,349 Mission Control guide the space station 50 00:03:22,430 --> 00:03:19,020 through various aspects of the flight 51 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:22,440 as mission controllers you will supply 52 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:24,570 the flight crew in the space station 53 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:28,530 with information in images needed to 54 00:03:34,730 --> 00:03:32,010 complete their tasks at the console you 55 00:03:37,210 --> 00:03:34,740 will also receive information to record 56 00:03:39,830 --> 00:03:37,220 from the crew and the space station 57 00:03:41,750 --> 00:03:39,840 sometimes you will be able to see live 58 00:03:44,450 --> 00:03:41,760 images from the space station 59 00:03:47,330 --> 00:03:44,460 the monitors at the front of Mission 60 00:03:50,270 --> 00:03:47,340 Control reflect what is occurring in the 61 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:50,280 space station the status of the mission 62 00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:54,770 and also show data are video images as 63 00:03:59,380 --> 00:03:57,570 mission controllers you have a very 64 00:04:02,420 --> 00:03:59,390 important role that involves 65 00:04:05,810 --> 00:04:02,430 communications and interactions with the 66 00:04:08,930 --> 00:04:05,820 crew and the space station your job is 67 00:04:12,110 --> 00:04:08,940 to help them solve their problems it is 68 00:04:15,670 --> 00:04:12,120 your responsibility to know which tests 69 00:04:19,340 --> 00:04:15,680 the crew and the space station is doing 70 00:04:22,700 --> 00:04:19,350 cash cards will help you do this every 71 00:04:25,820 --> 00:04:22,710 workstation in the Space Station and all 72 00:04:28,130 --> 00:04:25,830 of the consoles and Mission Control have 73 00:04:31,010 --> 00:04:28,140 a set of task cards that relate to the 74 00:04:34,970 --> 00:04:31,020 jobs that 13 must do during the 75 00:04:38,050 --> 00:04:34,980 simulation each task card has the steps 76 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:38,060 required to complete a specific task 77 00:04:44,870 --> 00:04:41,250 notice that the task card has a start in 78 00:04:48,170 --> 00:04:44,880 encode you are to enter the start code 79 00:04:51,770 --> 00:04:48,180 when you begin a task and the end code 80 00:04:55,210 --> 00:04:51,780 when it is completed to do this you will 81 00:04:59,840 --> 00:04:55,220 use the cue pad at your workstation a 82 00:05:02,060 --> 00:04:59,850 cue pad is not difficult to use as an 83 00:05:05,780 --> 00:05:02,070 example watch as the start code is 84 00:05:09,860 --> 00:05:05,790 entered from one of the task cards make 85 00:05:12,620 --> 00:05:09,870 sure you enter the correct code after 86 00:05:16,490 --> 00:05:12,630 the start code is entered press the send 87 00:05:18,470 --> 00:05:16,500 button once the start code is sent the 88 00:05:20,900 --> 00:05:18,480 mission status board changes to let 89 00:05:24,140 --> 00:05:20,910 Mission Control know what the data team 90 00:05:29,060 --> 00:05:24,150 is doing watch the mission status board 91 00:05:31,010 --> 00:05:29,070 change as the CIN button is pushed the 92 00:05:32,300 --> 00:05:31,020 various tasks are carried out in the 93 00:05:34,310 --> 00:05:32,310 space station 94 00:05:37,700 --> 00:05:34,320 if you are a member of the biosphere 95 00:05:40,070 --> 00:05:37,710 team you will work at this station from 96 00:05:43,159 --> 00:05:40,080 here you can tell operate vehicles in 97 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:43,169 the greenhouse tell operations means 98 00:05:48,530 --> 00:05:45,570 that you are able to operate something 99 00:05:51,710 --> 00:05:48,540 from afar you do not need to be right 100 00:05:53,900 --> 00:05:51,720 there to make it work the biosphere team 101 00:05:57,700 --> 00:05:53,910 will also study leaves from some of the 102 00:06:00,710 --> 00:05:57,710 plants in the greenhouse in the glovebox 103 00:06:03,890 --> 00:06:00,720 the medical team studies the effects of 104 00:06:05,930 --> 00:06:03,900 space travel on the crew your job is to 105 00:06:09,950 --> 00:06:05,940 find out the effect of the zero-g 106 00:06:13,220 --> 00:06:09,960 environment on the health of the crew G 107 00:06:17,090 --> 00:06:13,230 stands for the word gravity you will do 108 00:06:18,890 --> 00:06:17,100 tasks to evaluate the crews health if 109 00:06:22,100 --> 00:06:18,900 you are assigned to work at the 110 00:06:24,890 --> 00:06:22,110 isolation chamber you will use robots to 111 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:24,900 handle dangerous materials outside of 112 00:06:29,810 --> 00:06:27,570 the space station those of you assigned 113 00:06:31,790 --> 00:06:29,820 to the
