1
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,470
this week at nasa

2
00:00:13,749 --> 00:00:11,910
thanks for coming out and greeting the

3
00:00:15,509 --> 00:00:13,759
crew for what is the final final

4
00:00:17,109 --> 00:00:15,519
opportunity to do this at least in front

5
00:00:18,630 --> 00:00:17,119
of a space shuttle

6
00:00:20,870 --> 00:00:18,640
and i couldn't think of a better

7
00:00:22,790 --> 00:00:20,880
backdrop the final space shuttle crew

8
00:00:25,910 --> 00:00:22,800
spoke with reporters at the kennedy

9
00:00:27,670 --> 00:00:25,920
space center's launch pad 39a as they

10
00:00:34,549 --> 00:00:27,680
completed the terminal countdown

11
00:00:39,990 --> 00:00:37,270
the tcdt gives the crew and support

12
00:00:41,510 --> 00:00:40,000
personnel time to familiarize themselves

13
00:00:45,350 --> 00:00:41,520
with equipment and procedures

14
00:00:47,510 --> 00:00:45,360
surrounding an upcoming launch

15
00:00:49,430 --> 00:00:47,520
the four veteran astronauts targeted to

16
00:00:52,310 --> 00:00:49,440
lift off aboard atlantis for the

17
00:00:54,630 --> 00:00:52,320
international space station on july 8th

18
00:00:56,790 --> 00:00:54,640
on what will be the final mission of the

19
00:00:58,150 --> 00:00:56,800
space shuttle era the space shuttle

20
00:00:59,910 --> 00:00:58,160
program has been amazing what has done

21
00:01:02,150 --> 00:00:59,920
all the great accomplishments and you

22
00:01:04,549 --> 00:01:02,160
just don't want to let that momentum

23
00:01:06,469 --> 00:01:04,559
down and so there is a lot of

24
00:01:09,830 --> 00:01:06,479
a lot of pressure to do your job right

25
00:01:14,230 --> 00:01:12,070
crosshairs are aligned and contact

26
00:01:16,390 --> 00:01:14,240
contact and capture confirmed the

27
00:01:19,590 --> 00:01:16,400
international space station welcomed the

28
00:01:21,830 --> 00:01:19,600
progress 43 on piloted cargo ship

29
00:01:24,630 --> 00:01:21,840
carrying close to three tons of food

30
00:01:26,870 --> 00:01:24,640
fuel and supplies for the six expedition

31
00:01:30,550 --> 00:01:26,880
28 crew members on board and we have

32
00:01:32,710 --> 00:01:30,560
separation confirmed 46 minutes past the

33
00:01:35,270 --> 00:01:32,720
hour that came several days after the

34
00:01:37,510 --> 00:01:35,280
unpiloted european space agency's

35
00:01:40,390 --> 00:01:37,520
johannes kepler automated transfer

36
00:01:42,550 --> 00:01:40,400
vehicle to undocked from the station

37
00:01:45,190 --> 00:01:42,560
atv2 had delivered several tons of

38
00:01:48,469 --> 00:01:45,200
supplies to the crew in february a day

39
00:01:52,389 --> 00:01:48,479
after its undocking atv2 burned up on

40
00:01:58,230 --> 00:01:55,350
good morning i am

41
00:02:00,069 --> 00:01:58,240
nasa experts spoke at the annual space

42
00:02:02,389 --> 00:02:00,079
weather enterprise forum held at the

43
00:02:04,469 --> 00:02:02,399
national press club in washington

44
00:02:06,950 --> 00:02:04,479
space weather refers to conditions and

45
00:02:09,350 --> 00:02:06,960
events on the sun and near earth that

46
00:02:11,830 --> 00:02:09,360
can threaten human safety and hamper

47
00:02:14,309 --> 00:02:11,840
national security by impacting critical

48
00:02:16,790 --> 00:02:14,319
systems like electric power grids

49
00:02:18,869 --> 00:02:16,800
communications and satellite positioning

50
00:02:20,710 --> 00:02:18,879
and navigation systems collection of

51
00:02:22,470 --> 00:02:20,720
older crew members is a benefit rather

52
00:02:24,309 --> 00:02:22,480
than younger in terms of how much

53
00:02:27,350 --> 00:02:24,319
radiation they can be exposed to because

54
00:02:30,710 --> 00:02:27,360
of the the finite period at which time

55
00:02:32,710 --> 00:02:30,720
radiation might express itself dr john

56
00:02:35,190 --> 00:02:32,720
allen addressed the increased exposure

57
00:02:37,750 --> 00:02:35,200
to radiation faced by astronauts during

58
00:02:39,430 --> 00:02:37,760
adverse space weather conditions and

59
00:02:41,990 --> 00:02:39,440
what can be done to prepare them for

60
00:02:44,150 --> 00:02:42,000
such events the space weather enterprise

61
00:02:46,949 --> 00:02:44,160
brings together researchers policy

62
00:02:49,430 --> 00:02:46,959
makers forecasters and others to share

63
00:02:52,150 --> 00:02:49,440
information and raise awareness of space

64
00:02:54,229 --> 00:02:52,160
weather and its effects on society

65
00:02:56,550 --> 00:02:54,239
space weather is predicted to increase

66
00:03:01,270 --> 00:02:56,560
as the sun reaches its forecasted peak

67
00:03:05,589 --> 00:03:03,270
when you were training to be astronauts

68
00:03:06,630 --> 00:03:05,599
no one had ever had that job description

69
00:03:12,070 --> 00:03:06,640
before

70
00:03:16,949 --> 00:03:14,070
everything

71
00:03:19,350 --> 00:03:16,959
every test you can imagine 50 years

72
00:03:21,750 --> 00:03:19,360
after the first human space flights

73
00:03:24,229 --> 00:03:21,760
nasa's two surviving mercury seven

74
00:03:26,309 --> 00:03:24,239
astronauts john glenn and scott

75
00:03:28,789 --> 00:03:26,319
carpenter sat down to talk about their

76
00:03:31,030 --> 00:03:28,799
experiences at the smithsonian national

77
00:03:32,949 --> 00:03:31,040
air and space museum in washington

78
00:03:35,110 --> 00:03:32,959
nasa's predecessor national advisory

79
00:03:36,869 --> 00:03:35,120
committee for aeronautics was doing some

80
00:03:38,309 --> 00:03:36,879
studies on a computer they had down at

81
00:03:40,550 --> 00:03:38,319
langley

82
00:03:41,990 --> 00:03:40,560
that were about orbital flight

83
00:03:44,229 --> 00:03:42,000
and they wanted someone to come down

84
00:03:46,149 --> 00:03:44,239
there and sort of go through some of

85
00:03:47,110 --> 00:03:46,159
that and i went down i volunteered for

86
00:03:54,390 --> 00:03:47,120
that

87
00:03:57,270 --> 00:03:54,400
this or i realized anyway the order said

88
00:04:00,550 --> 00:03:57,280
report to washington

89
00:04:03,990 --> 00:04:00,560
at such and such a time do not discuss

90
00:04:07,670 --> 00:04:04,000
or speculate with anyone so i obeyed i

91
00:04:09,110 --> 00:04:07,680
did discuss and speculate with my wife

92
00:04:12,630 --> 00:04:09,120
however

93
00:04:15,589 --> 00:04:12,640
i went in to a briefing at the pentagon

94
00:04:20,150 --> 00:04:15,599
and that's how i heard about the nasa

95
00:04:22,710 --> 00:04:20,160
project on february 20th 1962 john glenn

96
00:04:24,950 --> 00:04:22,720
piloted his friendship 7 spacecraft on

97
00:04:25,990 --> 00:04:24,960
the united states first orbital mercury

98
00:04:29,270 --> 00:04:26,000
mission

99
00:04:31,990 --> 00:04:29,280
at age 77 glenn flew in space a second

100
00:04:35,510 --> 00:04:32,000
time in 1998 aboard space shuttle

101
00:04:38,710 --> 00:04:35,520
discovery on sts-95 after representing

102
00:04:40,790 --> 00:04:38,720
his native ohio in the u.s senate

103
00:04:45,670 --> 00:04:40,800
scott carpenter flew into space on may

104
00:04:47,110 --> 00:04:45,680
24 1962 aboard aurora 7 a three-orbit

105
00:04:49,670 --> 00:04:47,120
science mission

106
00:04:52,230 --> 00:04:49,680
the fourth american in space carpenter

107
00:04:56,150 --> 00:04:52,240
also performed important habitability

108
00:04:58,230 --> 00:04:56,160
research on the ocean floor

109
00:05:00,870 --> 00:04:58,240
the ames research center hosted a

110
00:05:03,749 --> 00:05:00,880
tribute to baruch barry blumberg the

111
00:05:06,390 --> 00:05:03,759
former nasa scientist who identified and

112
00:05:08,150 --> 00:05:06,400
developed the vaccine for the hepatitis

113
00:05:10,150 --> 00:05:08,160
b virus

114
00:05:12,230 --> 00:05:10,160
blumberg died after suffering a heart

115
00:05:14,230 --> 00:05:12,240
attack earlier this year at the

116
00:05:16,790 --> 00:05:14,240
international lunar research park

117
00:05:20,469 --> 00:05:16,800
exploratory workshop at ames where he

118
00:05:20,479 --> 00:05:24,870
and now centerpieces

119
00:05:29,510 --> 00:05:27,590
a good idea rarely goes out of style

120
00:05:31,830 --> 00:05:29,520
just ask some of the firms developing

121
00:05:33,830 --> 00:05:31,840
next generation spacecraft

122
00:05:35,350 --> 00:05:33,840
sierra nevada one of four winners of

123
00:05:37,270 --> 00:05:35,360
second round funding from nasa's

124
00:05:39,590 --> 00:05:37,280
commercial crew development program

125
00:05:42,870 --> 00:05:39,600
based its dream chaser design

126
00:05:44,390 --> 00:05:42,880
on the hl 20 space taxi concept

127
00:05:46,150 --> 00:05:44,400
that idea was developed by nasa's

128
00:05:47,270 --> 00:05:46,160
langley research center in the 80s and

129
00:05:49,110 --> 00:05:47,280
90s

130
00:05:51,270 --> 00:05:49,120
company and nasa headquarters officials

131
00:05:53,830 --> 00:05:51,280
came to the center in hampton virginia

132
00:05:57,110 --> 00:05:53,840
to recognize those studies and langley's

133
00:05:59,430 --> 00:05:57,120
50-year history of lifting body research

134
00:06:02,469 --> 00:05:59,440
we're proud of the work that we at nasa

135
00:06:03,749 --> 00:06:02,479
did on hl20 on the lifting body concept

136
00:06:05,990 --> 00:06:03,759
and we're pleased

137
00:06:07,430 --> 00:06:06,000
that it's being utilized today we would

138
00:06:09,110 --> 00:06:07,440
not be here i would not be at this

139
00:06:11,430 --> 00:06:09,120
podium if it wasn't for the great work

140
00:06:14,230 --> 00:06:11,440
that you did langley engineers devised

141
00:06:16,309 --> 00:06:14,240
an entire plan for the hl-20 they

142
00:06:18,469 --> 00:06:16,319
created pilot landing scenarios for

143
00:06:20,790 --> 00:06:18,479
flight simulators some of which are now

144
00:06:23,350 --> 00:06:20,800
adapted for newer facilities

145
00:06:25,590 --> 00:06:23,360
they tested designs in wind tunnels

146
00:06:28,150 --> 00:06:25,600
and even built a full-scale model with

147
00:06:29,430 --> 00:06:28,160
the help of universities to study crew

148
00:06:32,070 --> 00:06:29,440
challenges

149
00:06:33,749 --> 00:06:32,080
that model is at sierra nevada

150
00:06:36,469 --> 00:06:33,759
many of the researchers who gave birth

151
00:06:38,870 --> 00:06:36,479
to the hl 20 attended the recognition

152
00:06:40,550 --> 00:06:38,880
ceremony we really appreciate this

153
00:06:42,950 --> 00:06:40,560
opportunity to

154
00:06:43,830 --> 00:06:42,960
to get together again and

155
00:06:45,830 --> 00:06:43,840
the

156
00:06:48,390 --> 00:06:45,840
recognition that you provided us for a

157
00:06:50,390 --> 00:06:48,400
job that we were excited about

158
00:06:51,830 --> 00:06:50,400
we still are excited about and quite

159
00:06:53,270 --> 00:06:51,840
frankly i thought this day would never

160
00:06:55,189 --> 00:06:53,280
come

161
00:06:57,110 --> 00:06:55,199
also while in hampton nasa's deputy

162
00:06:59,430 --> 00:06:57,120
administrator lori garver and chief

163
00:07:01,270 --> 00:06:59,440
technologist bobby braun got the chance

164
00:07:03,029 --> 00:07:01,280
to see a new manufacturing technique

165
00:07:05,430 --> 00:07:03,039
developed at langley that could

166
00:07:11,990 --> 00:07:05,440
revolutionize the way aerospace parts

167
00:07:16,469 --> 00:07:14,469
with a blast of confetti center director

168
00:07:18,469 --> 00:07:16,479
lisa rowe and several elected officials

169
00:07:20,390 --> 00:07:18,479
cut the ribbon to celebrate the opening

170
00:07:22,550 --> 00:07:20,400
of the new green headquarters facility

171
00:07:24,230 --> 00:07:22,560
at the lainley research center the first

172
00:07:27,830 --> 00:07:24,240
new building constructed at langley in

173
00:07:30,870 --> 00:07:27,840
35 years it covers 79 000 square feet

174
00:07:32,870 --> 00:07:30,880
and houses more than 250 employees from

175
00:07:35,749 --> 00:07:32,880
six different center organizations

176
00:07:39,589 --> 00:07:35,759
today's ceremony and the building behind

177
00:07:41,830 --> 00:07:39,599
me dramatically signify a new langley

178
00:07:44,469 --> 00:07:41,840
and the completion of the first element

179
00:07:46,150 --> 00:07:44,479
in our revitalization plan the new

180
00:07:48,070 --> 00:07:46,160
structure uses some of the newest

181
00:07:49,110 --> 00:07:48,080
technology to reduce its impact on the

182
00:07:51,270 --> 00:07:49,120
environment

183
00:07:53,990 --> 00:07:51,280
its roof deflects heat and reduces storm

184
00:07:56,309 --> 00:07:54,000
water runoff and geothermal wells assist

185
00:07:58,230 --> 00:07:56,319
in heating and cooling all to achieve

186
00:08:00,710 --> 00:07:58,240
the highest rating by the u.s green

187
00:08:01,909 --> 00:08:00,720
building council these buildings will

188
00:08:04,550 --> 00:08:01,919
stand

189
00:08:06,629 --> 00:08:04,560
as an icon in this community for that

190
00:08:08,950 --> 00:08:06,639
science for that technology for that

191
00:08:10,469 --> 00:08:08,960
development for what nasa does each and

192
00:08:12,790 --> 00:08:10,479
every day and for what it stands for

193
00:08:15,430 --> 00:08:12,800
going in the future so we're working to

194
00:08:17,589 --> 00:08:15,440
really design that laboratory the second

195
00:08:19,510 --> 00:08:17,599
element in langley's revitalization plan

196
00:08:21,670 --> 00:08:19,520
an integrated services building that

197
00:08:24,070 --> 00:08:21,680
will house a new cafeteria conference

198
00:08:30,309 --> 00:08:24,080
center and additional office spaces will

199
00:08:34,310 --> 00:08:32,230
walt's flight facility became rocket

200
00:08:36,630 --> 00:08:34,320
university for seven days in june as

201
00:08:38,389 --> 00:08:36,640
more than 120 high school educators and

202
00:08:40,550 --> 00:08:38,399
university students and instructors

203
00:08:42,630 --> 00:08:40,560
spent a week learning about rocketry and

204
00:08:44,710 --> 00:08:42,640
conducting science experiments in space

205
00:08:47,350 --> 00:08:44,720
we've learned a great deal there's a lot

206
00:08:49,269 --> 00:08:47,360
more to rockets than i ever dreamed of

207
00:08:51,350 --> 00:08:49,279
we've gotten to actually build rockets

208
00:08:53,269 --> 00:08:51,360
hands-on make our own we've got to shoot

209
00:08:55,350 --> 00:08:53,279
them off a lot of nice people talk to

210
00:08:57,430 --> 00:08:55,360
and learn how they do things at other

211
00:08:59,670 --> 00:08:57,440
schools and and what their specialties

212
00:09:01,590 --> 00:08:59,680
are lying on this nasa terrier improved

213
00:09:03,509 --> 00:09:01,600
orion suborbital sounding rocket were

214
00:09:05,509 --> 00:09:03,519
experiments constructed by the student

215
00:09:06,870 --> 00:09:05,519
participants you get to do this part

216
00:09:08,870 --> 00:09:06,880
i'll do the next part later i mean it

217
00:09:11,030 --> 00:09:08,880
was a lot of teamwork that was involved

218
00:09:11,910 --> 00:09:11,040

two

220
00:09:21,670 --> 00:09:19,509
after launch and payload recovery the

221
00:09:23,910 --> 00:09:21,680
participants conducted preliminary data

222
00:09:26,230 --> 00:09:23,920
analysis and discussed their results it

223
00:09:28,070 --> 00:09:26,240
was a great day for a launch we had

224
00:09:29,430 --> 00:09:28,080
perfect weather you could see everything

225
00:09:32,550 --> 00:09:29,440
clearly

two

240
00:10:02,550 --> 00:10:00,800
one

241
00:10:04,630 --> 00:10:02,560
and liftoff of the space shuttle

242
00:10:06,630 --> 00:10:04,640
atlantis on a mission that will herald a

243
00:10:11,350 --> 00:10:06,640
new day of international cooperation in

244
00:10:13,829 --> 00:10:11,360
space sixteen years ago on june 27 1995

245
00:10:15,509 --> 00:10:13,839
shuttle atlantis became the 100th u.s

246
00:10:17,990 --> 00:10:15,519

247
00:10:20,550 --> 00:10:18,000
canaveral embarking on a mission that

248
00:10:22,550 --> 00:10:20,560
would link it with mir for the first u.s

249
00:10:23,870 --> 00:10:22,560
space shuttle russian space station

250
00:10:26,630 --> 00:10:23,880
docking

251
00:10:29,430 --> 00:10:26,640
sts-71 would also mark the first
