actually 195 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,230 the spartan actually weighs in at about 1200 pounds of course 196 00:05:28,230 --> 00:05:28,240 weighs in at about 1200 pounds of course 197 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,590 weighs in at about 1200 pounds of course in space with microgravity uh it really 198 00:05:31,590 --> 00:05:31,600 in space with microgravity uh it really 199 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,830 in space with microgravity uh it really has no weight but its mass is still 200 00:05:33,830 --> 00:05:33,840 has no weight but its mass is still 201 00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:36,310 has no weight but its mass is still there so it is 202 00:05:36,310 --> 00:05:36,320 there so it is 203 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:37,909 there so it is the prudent thing to do to understand 204 00:05:37,909 --> 00:05:37,919 the prudent thing to do to understand 205 00:05:37,919 --> 00:05:40,790 the prudent thing to do to understand the the handling characteristics of the 206 00:05:40,790 --> 00:05:40,800 the the handling characteristics of the 207 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:41,830 the the handling characteristics of the uh 208 00:05:41,830 --> 00:05:41,840 uh 209 00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:44,310 uh spartan satellite 210 00:05:44,310 --> 00:05:44,320 spartan satellite 211 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:45,670 spartan satellite so they'll continue this training 212 00:05:45,670 --> 00:05:45,680 so they'll continue this training 213 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,310 so they'll continue this training session for another a couple of hours in 214 00:05:48,310 --> 00:05:48,320 session for another a couple of hours in 215 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,469 session for another a couple of hours in the uh water tank 216 00:05:50,469 --> 00:05:50,479 the uh water tank 217 00:05:50,479 --> 00:05:52,390 the uh water tank which is uh 218 00:05:52,390 --> 00:05:52,400 which is uh 219 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,070 which is uh near the johnson space center here in 220 00:05:54,070 --> 00:05:54,080 near the johnson space center here in 221 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:59,990 near the johnson space center here in houston 222 00:05:59,990 --> 00:06:00,000 223 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,189 and this wider view 224 00:06:03,189 --> 00:06:03,199 and this wider view 225 00:06:03,199 --> 00:06:05,670 and this wider view gives a better idea of the size of the 226 00:06:05,670 --> 00:06:05,680 gives a better idea of the size of the 227 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,350 gives a better idea of the size of the satellite in relation to the two 228 00:06:07,350 --> 00:06:07,360 satellite in relation to the two 229 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:08,550 satellite in relation to the two astronauts 230 00:06:08,550 --> 00:06:08,560 astronauts 231 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,710 astronauts and again in this view jerry ross is on 232 00:06:10,710 --> 00:06:10,720 and again in this view jerry ross is on 233 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:11,590 and again in this view jerry ross is on the 234 00:06:11,590 --> 00:06:11,600 the 235

the right they are distinguishable by their air 238 00:06:16,710 --> 00:06:16,720 they are distinguishable by their air 239 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,029 they are distinguishable by their air hoses which obviously are not used in 240 00:06:19,029 --> 00:06:19,039 hoses which obviously are not used in 241 00:06:19,039 --> 00:06:21,270 hoses which obviously are not used in space but underwater they are and 242 00:06:21,270 --> 00:06:21,280 space but underwater they are and 243 00:06:21,280 --> 00:06:24,469 space but underwater they are and jerry ross's is red and jim newman's is 244 00:06:24,469 --> 00:06:24,479 jerry ross's is red and jim newman's is 245 00:06:24,479 --> 00:07:29,029 jerry ross's is red and jim newman's is white 246 00:07:29,029 --> 00:07:29,039 247 00:07:29,039
