38
00:01:39,670 --> 00:01:36,799
normal daily routine while in space

39
00:01:41,510 --> 00:01:39,680
i float out of my cabin and i start

40
00:01:43,190 --> 00:01:41,520
reading right away on the computer about

41
00:01:44,630 --> 00:01:43,200
what we're going to do that day i'll

42
00:01:46,310 --> 00:01:44,640
have already seen the plan from the day

43
00:01:48,149 --> 00:01:46,320
before and studied the things that i

44
00:01:50,469 --> 00:01:48,159
need to study for that day but we always

45
00:01:53,270 --> 00:01:50,479
look for last minute updates this earth

or hip the genius of the private sector

129
00:05:29,029 --> 00:05:25,600
working with government is going to

130
00:05:32,950 --> 00:05:29,039
lead the way in commercial spacecraft to

131
00:05:35,270 --> 00:05:32,960
take cargo to the space station so the

132
00:05:38,390 --> 00:05:35,280
space station can continue the

133
00:05:41,430 --> 00:05:38,400
innovation and discovery be the national

134
00:05:43,430 --> 00:05:41,440
laboratory in the sky hiff will support

135
00:05:45,270 --> 00:05:43,440
the launch of medium class missions the

136
00:05:47,430 --> 00:05:45,280
first commercial customer scheduled to

137
00:05:49,830 --> 00:05:47,440
utilize this new addition is orbital

sciences corporation of dulles virginia

139
00:05:55,029 --> 00:05:52,320
as we look ahead we now anticipate

140
00:05:57,510 --> 00:05:55,039
regular cargo launches

141
00:06:01,029 --> 00:05:57,520
to the iss from wallops

142
00:06:03,430 --> 00:06:01,039
providing a source of high quality jobs

143
00:06:05,670 --> 00:06:03,440
for this region and a new draw for

144
00:06:07,830 --> 00:06:05,680
visitors here orbital has moved its

145
00:06:09,590 --> 00:06:07,840
torus 2 vehicle into the facility this

146
00:06:10,469 --> 00:06:09,600
month for its planned launch later this

147
00:06:12,150 --> 00:06:10,479
year

148
00:06:13,909 --> 00:06:12,160
the company's partnership with nasa

149
00:06:15,909 --> 00:06:13,919
comes under the agency's commercial

150
00:06:21,350 --> 00:06:15,919
orbital transportation service project

151
00:06:27,029 --> 00:06:23,909
assembly of the first j2x dubbed engine

152
00:06:29,990 --> 00:06:27,039
1001 is in full swing at nasa's stennis

153
00:06:31,990 --> 00:06:30,000
space center the j2x is designed to be a

154
00:06:34,150 --> 00:06:32,000
highly efficient and versatile rocket

155
00:06:36,629 --> 00:06:34,160
engine and has the ideal performance

156
00:06:39,270 --> 00:06:36,639
characteristics to power the upper stage

157
00:06:40,950 --> 00:06:39,280
of a heavy lift launch vehicle j2x

158
00:06:43,749 --> 00:06:40,960
engine assembly as you can see behind me

159
00:06:45,510 --> 00:06:43,759
is in full swing uh parts are

160
00:06:47,350 --> 00:06:45,520
rolling in from the desoto campus where

161
00:06:49,350 --> 00:06:47,360
they're being manufactured and final

162
00:06:51,029 --> 00:06:49,360
machined engine assembly started with

163
00:06:52,469 --> 00:06:51,039
the main combustion chamber because

164
00:06:55,110 --> 00:06:52,479
basically the rest of the engine hangs

165
00:06:57,430 --> 00:06:55,120
on that the turbo machinery is next the

166
00:06:59,270 --> 00:06:57,440
oxidizer and fuel turbo machinery and

167
00:07:01,589 --> 00:06:59,280
those have now been installed the inlet

168
00:07:03,589 --> 00:07:01,599
ducts went on soon after that and that's

169
00:07:05,350 --> 00:07:03,599
kind of the state of where we are now

170
00:07:06,950 --> 00:07:05,360
well with the original design we figured

171
00:07:08,790 --> 00:07:06,960
exactly how the engine should go

172
00:07:10,309 --> 00:07:08,800
together but of course this is our first

173
00:07:12,230 --> 00:07:10,319
time building the engine and so we're

174
00:07:13,909 --> 00:07:12,240
going to learn things as we go

175
00:07:15,749 --> 00:07:13,919
in addition we've used delmia

176
00:07:18,309 --> 00:07:15,759
simulations where we can actually take

177
00:07:20,550 --> 00:07:18,319
the 3d model and put a human in there to

178
00:07:22,550 --> 00:07:20,560
tell exactly how to assemble the engine

179
00:07:24,710 --> 00:07:22,560
and take different parts off and and put

180
00:07:27,350 --> 00:07:24,720
different parts on has been really

181
00:07:29,189 --> 00:07:27,360
helpful well we spent the last 10 months

182
00:07:30,550 --> 00:07:29,199
working on the a2 test stand to convert

183
00:07:33,270 --> 00:07:30,560
it from space shuttle main engine

184
00:07:34,950 --> 00:07:33,280
testing to j2x engine testing some of

185
00:07:36,629 --> 00:07:34,960
the modifications were on the plumbing

186
00:07:38,150 --> 00:07:36,639
systems for the cryogenic propellants

187
00:07:39,749 --> 00:07:38,160
and the gases and some structural

188
00:07:41,510 --> 00:07:39,759
