00:05:20,230 --> 00:05:17,840 thanks stephanie appreciate that 152 00:05:22,550 --> 00:05:20,240 the tweet up in planetary science was 153 00:05:25,510 --> 00:05:22,560 kind of an unheard of thing 154 00:05:27,189 --> 00:05:25,520 and uh i'd been sort of watching it 155 00:05:29,510 --> 00:05:27,199 and trying to figure out what was going 156 00:05:31,909 --> 00:05:29,520 on with social media ever since uh mars 157 00:05:33,670 --> 00:05:31,919 phoenix landed 158 00:05:36,310 --> 00:05:33,680 and um 159 00:05:37,749 --> 00:05:36,320 when we got to uh when we got to 160 00:05:39,909 -->

169 00:05:59,270 --> 00:05:57,440 that it was really quite an easy thing 170 00:06:01,350 --> 00:05:59,280 to pull together because the community 171 00:06:02,150 --> 00:06:01,360 really self-energizes 172 00:06:14,230 --> 00:06:02,160 and 173 00:06:18,870 --> 00:06:15,990 i think stephanie might have fainted at 174 00:06:23,029 --> 00:06:20,790 because uh you know in just a month's

thinking about what to say and so i 182 00:06:42,629 --> 00:06:37,680 asked stephanie how many slides do i get 183 00:06:45,029 --> 00:06:43,990 and so 184 00:06:47,990 --> 00:06:45,039 um 185 00:06:50,790 --> 00:06:48,000 i have no prepared remarks 186 00:06:53,430 --> 00:06:50,800 other than to say it's just a fantastic 187 00:06:54,230 --> 00:06:53,440 opportunity or a fantastic time to

00:07:03,909 --> 00:07:00,639 get to jupiter and then as steve will 192 00:07:06,469 --> 00:07:03,919 tell you later on the science starts 193 00:07:08,710 --> 00:07:06,479 so it's a it's been a long haul for j 194 00:07:10,629 --> 00:07:08,720 for juno i just came from watching the 195 00:07:11,749 --> 00:07:10,639 rocket roll out got to walk in front of 196 00:07:14,469 --> 00:07:11,759 it it

00:07:25,670 --> 00:07:23,680 been terming the launch phase of the 201 00:07:27,830 --> 00:07:25,680 year of the solar system 202 00:07:30,629 --> 00:07:27,840 the year the solar system started about 203 00:07:33,029 --> 00:07:30,639 a year ago when we realized that we had 204 00:07:36,870 --> 00:07:33,039 about nine events 205 00:07:39,189 --> 00:07:36,880 all stacked up inside 26 months 206 00:07:41,189 --> 00:07:39,199 26 months is a martian year hence the 207 00:07:42,230 --> 00:07:41,199 year of the solar system 208 00:07:45,110 --> 00:07:42,240 and 209 00:07:48,950 --> 00:07:45,120 it has been an incredible ride that 210 00:07:51,189 --> 00:07:48,960 started in november with the flyby of 211 00:07:52,629 --> 00:07:51,199 the epoxy spacecraft with the comet 212 00:07:54,950 --> 00:07:52,639 hartley ii 213 00:07:56,710 --> 00:07:54,960 we found out amazing things about comets 214 00:07:59,350 --> 00:07:56,720 that we didn't expect that we would find 215 00:08:01,029 --> 00:07:59,360 out we returned to the comet temple 1 216 00:08:01,909 --> 00:08:01,039 the one that deep impact knocked a hole 217 00:08:03,830 --> 00:08:01,919 into 218 00:08:05,909 --> 00:08:03,840 and tried to peer down inside the crater 219 00:08:07,670 --> 00:08:05,919 that we thought we made 220 00:08:10,390 --> 00:08:07,680 and remapped the back side of it since 221 00:08:13,029 --> 00:08:10,400 we didn't get that data the first time 222 00:08:15,350 --> 00:08:13,039 for the first time ever we put a 223 00:08:17,909 --> 00:08:15,360 spacecraft into orbit around the planet 224 00:08:20,150 --> 00:08:17,919 mercury and for the next year or two we 225 00:08:23,350 --> 00:08:20,160 will unlock some of the secrets of that 226 00:08:29,189 --> 00:08:26,309 and then um just two three weeks ago the 227 00:08:32,630 --> 00:08:29,199 dawn spacecraft 228 00:08:34,790 --> 00:08:32,640 uh got into orbit around the asteroid 229 00:08:37,909 --> 00:08:34,800 vesta and the some of the images if you 230 00:08:39,909 --> 00:08:37,919 haven't seen them are just stunning 231 00:08:41,509 --> 00:08:39,919 trying it's gonna keep planetary 232 00:08:43,269 --> 00:08:41,519 scientists busy for a long time 233 00:08:44,870 --> 00:08:43,279 especially geologists trying to figure 234 00:08:47,030 --> 00:08:44,880 out what was going on 235 00:08:49,190 --> 00:08:47,040 when that body was formed and what does 236 00:08:51,910 --> 00:08:49,200 it mean for the rest of the asteroids 237 00:08:54,389 --> 00:08:51,920 that we might explore in the future 238 00:08:56,949 --> 00:08:54,399 but this is the launch phase so 239 00:08:59,670 --> 00:08:56,959 now juno launches and then grail and 240 00:09:01,829 --> 00:08:59,680 then msl and then we have a little bit 241 00:09:04,230 --> 00:09:01,839 of a hiatus and then msl lands about 242 00:09:05,509 --> 00:09:04,240 this time next year 243 00:09:07,269 --> 00:09:05,519 and we're just 244 00:09:08,550 --> 00:09:07,279 outrageously happy 245 00:09:11,590 --> 00:09:08,560 that we're here 246 00:09:13,910 --> 00:09:11,600 we're on schedule we're on cost which is 247 00:09:15,829 --> 00:09:13,920 one of my biggest worries 248 00:09:17,190 --> 00:09:15,839 and most of all we haven't compromised 249 00:09:22,230 --> 00:09:17,200 the science 250 00:09:24,150 --> 00:09:22,240 understand our place in the universe and 251 00:09:26,790 --> 00:09:24,160 that's a big challenge 252 00:09:29,269 --> 00:09:26,800 and every time we begin to to ask a 253 00:09:30,870 --> 00:09:29,279 question and answer a question we have 254 00:09:33,030 --> 00:09:30,880 more questions that's what the 255 00:09:34,790 --> 00:09:33,040 scientific process is all about and 256 00:09:37,110 --> 00:09:34,800 that's one of the reasons why we do what 257 00:09:38,310 --> 00:09:37,120 we do because we're searching for our 258 00:09:40,949 --> 00:09:38,320 own place 259 00:09:42,389 --> 00:09:40,959 in the universe i think i'll stop 260 00:09:44,550 --> 00:09:42,399 talking 261 00:09:46,310 --> 00:09:44,560 and just answer questions if that's okay 262 00:09:47,829 --> 00:09:46,320 do i have time stephanie 263 00:09:50,949 --> 00:09:47,839 to answer questions 264 00:09:53,190 --> 00:09:50,959 yes certainly okay so are there 265 00:09:55,030 --> 00:09:53,200 questions raise your hand jason and i 266 00:09:57,190 --> 00:09:55,040 have microphones we'll come around no 267 00:09:59,750 --> 00:09:57,200 question so we have i have a question 268 00:10:01,509 --> 00:09:59,760 are we gonna launch tomorrow oh 269 00:10:03,750 --> 00:10:01,519 good question 270 00:10:08,150 --> 00:10:03,760 anybody got a friend named emily are 271 00:10:12,710 --> 00:10:09,509 so 272 00:10:14,310 --> 00:10:12,720 we decided this morning at 6 30 to go 273 00:10:16,550 --> 00:10:14,320 ahead and roll the rocket out to the 274 00:10:18,150 --> 00:10:16,560 launch pad 275 00:10:20,790 --> 00:10:18,160 so that we could be ready to launch 276 00:10:25,670 --> 00:10:23,190 the next the next decision point 277 00:10:27,750 --> 00:10:25,680 is 6 30 tomorrow morning when we decide 278 00:10:29,030 --> 00:10:27,760 whether or not to start the terminal 279 00:10:31,430 --> 00:10:29,040 count 280 00:10:33,670 --> 00:10:31,440 that will be based on the status of the 281 00:10:38,470 --> 00:10:33,680 weather and a number of other things 282 00:10:41,910 --> 00:10:39,509 okay 283 00:10:45,110 --> 00:10:41,920 anyway the countdown starts after we 284 00:10:47,110 --> 00:10:45,120 make a decision at 6 30 tomorrow morning 285 00:10:49,190 --> 00:10:47,120 in the middle of that countdown 286 00:10:51,030 --> 00:10:49,200 at about 9 45 287 00:10:53,590 --> 00:10:51,040 we'll make a decision about whether or 288 00:10:57,110 --> 00:10:53,600 not to load cryo 289 00:10:59,829 --> 00:10:57,120 when the cryogen gets loaded 290 00:11:03,190 --> 00:10:59,839 if there's a scrub it takes about 291 00:11:05,030 --> 00:11:03,200 26 hours before the rocket could return 292 00:11:06,870 --> 00:11:05,040 to the safety of the vertical 293 00:11:09,269 --> 00:11:06,880 integration facility 294 00:11:11,269 --> 00:11:09,279 so the real issue is not is the weather 295 00:11:12,230 --> 00:11:11,279 going to be good enough tomorrow to 296 00:11:14,630 --> 00:11:12,240 launch 297 00:11:16,310 --> 00:11:14,640 the real issue is after we load cryo 298 00:11:18,470 --> 00:11:16,320 will the weather be good enough that we 299 00:11:21,269 --> 00:11:18,480 could return the spacecraft 300 00:11:22,870 --> 00:11:21,279 to the vertical integration facility and 301 00:11:24,230 --> 00:11:22,880 that's really the big decision that we 302 00:11:25,590 --> 00:11:24,240 have ahead of us 303 00:11:27,829 --> 00:11:25,600 right now 304 00:11:35,110 --> 00:11:27,839 i'm proud to report that everything 305 00:11:39,350 --> 00:11:37,670 with the one caveat that emily just 306 00:11:40,790 --> 00:11:39,360 won't make up her mind on where she 307 00:11:43,910 --> 00:11:40,800 wants to go 308 00:11:46,069 --> 00:11:43,920 so we'll see how that goes but uh it's 309 00:11:48,790 --> 00:11:46,079 going to be a fantastic launch it's this 310 00:11:51,590 --> 00:11:48,800 like i i've told people in the past this 311 00:11:54,550 --> 00:11:51,600 is the largest of the atlas 5 family 312 00:11:55,350 --> 00:11:54,560 it's the atlas 5 551 that means it's got 313 00:11:57,350 --> 00:11:55,360 these 314 00:11:59,190 --> 00:11:57,360 five enormous 315 00:12:00,790 --> 00:11:59,200 solid rocket boosters strapped to the 316 00:12:01,990 --> 00:12:00,800 sides of it 317 00:12:04,470 --> 00:12:02,000 and um 318 00:12:05,990 --> 00:12:04,480 it's going to jump off the pad i you 319 00:12:08,310 --> 00:12:06,000 probably some of you probably seen atlas 320 00:12:09,829 --> 00:12:08,320 5's before but you've not seen this one 321 00:12:11,829 --> 00:12:09,839 unless you were at the new horizons 322 00:12:13,829 --> 00:12:11,839 launch because this is only the second 323 00:12:16,389 --> 00:12:13,839 one in history to fly 324 00:12:18,629 --> 00:12:16,399 so any other questions so you're going 325 00:12:20,949 --> 00:12:18,639 to tweet at 6 30 tomorrow morning 326 00:12:26,949 --> 00:12:20,959 whether we're 327 00:12:31,590 --> 00:12:29,670 well we'll see i i will i i will tell 328 00:12:33,829 --> 00:12:31,600 you that i will definitely 329 00:12:36,790 --> 00:12:33,839 if there's something to tweet i'll i'll 330 00:12:41,750 --> 00:12:36,800 put a notice out awesome 331 00:12:45,910 --> 00:12:42,949 oh there we go 332 00:12:47,829 --> 00:12:45,920 hi nasa jim i'm dave 333 00:12:49,910 --> 00:12:47,839 um so it seems like to me there ought to 334 00:12:52,310 --> 00:12:49,920 be a rocket load of data coming back 335 00:12:54,870 --> 00:12:52,320 from all this what happens to that data 336 00:12:56,629 --> 00:12:54,880 where does it go who uses it 337 00:12:59,190 --> 00:12:56,639 how are we going to solve all our world 338 00:13:00,870 --> 00:12:59,200 problems so the data the data the data 339 00:13:03,509 --> 00:13:00,880 that comes back 340 00:13:05,590 --> 00:13:03,519 um it takes first off the light time 341 00:13:07,750 --> 00:13:05,600 lots of people ask what's the light time 342 00:13:09,670 --> 00:13:07,760 how long does the data transit from 343 00:13:11,590 --> 00:13:09,680 jupiter back to the earth it's about 48 344 00:13:14,230 --> 00:13:11,600 minutes depending upon where we are in 345 00:13:16,629 --> 00:13:14,240 the year but every bit of data that 346 00:13:18,710 --> 00:13:16,639 comes back from for planetary science 347 00:13:21,590 --> 00:13:18,720 goes into something called the planetary 348 00:13:24,389 --> 00:13:21,600 data system which you could google right 349 00:13:26,470 --> 00:13:24,399 now and has open access 350 00:13:28,629 --> 00:13:26,480 you could go to the planetary data 351 00:13:31,350 --> 00:13:28,639 system and pull up the 352 00:13:33,110 --> 00:13:31,360 data that's been formatted and loaded 353 00:13:35,430 --> 00:13:33,120 into the pds 354 00:13:37,509 --> 00:13:35,440 will you find the latest images of vesta 355 00:13:40,870 --> 00:13:37,519 there no 356 00:13:43,670 --> 00:13:40,880 will you find the the latest mro image 357 00:13:45,750 --> 00:13:43,680 there no it lags about six months and 358 00:13:48,710 --> 00:13:45,760 the reason that they that they lag about 359 00:13:51,750 --> 00:13:48,720 six months is so that they can 360 00:13:53,590 --> 00:13:51,760 calibrate the data and validate that 361 00:13:55,509 --> 00:13:53,600 they've actually got the formatting 362 00:13:58,470 --> 00:13:55,519 right and the captions correct and that 363 00:14:00,069 --> 00:13:58,480 sort of thing because then it is public 364 00:14:03,509 --> 00:14:00,079 and it goes out and we just don't 365 00:14:05,110 --> 00:14:03,519 control how it's used so 366 00:14:07,350 --> 00:14:05,120 open data 367 00:14:09,030 --> 00:14:07,360 do um who's directing questions not me 368 00:14:10,470 --> 00:14:09,040 right right question on the left over 369 00:14:12,470 --> 00:14:10,480 there good 370 00:14:14,470 --> 00:14:12,480 earlier you were speaking about how 371 00:14:16,150 --> 00:14:14,480 questions drive science and how we're 372 00:14:17,990 --> 00:14:16,160 always trying to find more answers to 373 00:14:19,509 --> 00:14:18,000 those questions and things and it occurs 374 00:14:21,430 --> 00:14:19,519 to me that for those of us who don't you 375 00:14:23,350 --> 00:14:21,440 know launch rockets for a living the 376 00:14:25,110 --> 00:14:23,360 idea of a rocket scientist is usually 377 00:14:26,310 --> 00:14:25,120 held up as a cliche for somebody who has 378 00:14:27,990 --> 00:14:26,320 all the answers to these really 379 00:14:29,430 --> 00:14:28,000 difficult questions i was just wondering 380 00:14:31,910 --> 00:14:29,440 if you could speak to 381 00:14:35,110 --> 00:14:31,920 the idea of certainty in a mission like 382 00:14:36,629 --> 00:14:35,120 juno how how where's the balance between 383 00:14:38,069 --> 00:14:36,639 what we know is going to work and what 384 00:14:39,750 --> 00:14:38,079 we don't know we're going to find in 385 00:14:41,590 --> 00:14:39,760 that sort of thing how does that play 386 00:14:43,910 --> 00:14:41,600 out in these missions well i don't know 387 00:14:45,590 --> 00:14:43,920 if i'll answer your question but i 388 00:14:47,670 --> 00:14:45,600 certainly brings up a lot of thoughts in 389 00:14:50,310 --> 00:14:47,680 my mind there are three major questions 390 00:14:51,910 --> 00:14:50,320 that planetary science and indeed most 391 00:14:53,910 --> 00:14:51,920 of nasa science 392 00:14:57,430 --> 00:14:53,920 seeks to answer 393 00:15:00,310 --> 00:14:57,440 the first is how do we get here 394 00:15:02,949 --> 00:15:00,320 and the second is where are we going and 395 00:15:04,629 --> 00:15:02,959 the third is are we alone 396 00:15:06,389 --> 00:15:04,639 and frankly 397 00:15:08,470 --> 00:15:06,399 everything that we do in planetary 398 00:15:09,910 --> 00:15:08,480 science is driven by one of those 399 00:15:11,350 --> 00:15:09,920 questions 400 00:15:12,870 --> 00:15:11,360 one of the really interesting things is 401 00:15:15,269 --> 00:15:12,880 you know you start breaking it down you 402 00:15:16,470 --> 00:15:15,279 say okay well are we alone what does 403 00:15:18,550 --> 00:15:16,480 that mean 404 00:15:21,189 --> 00:15:18,560 are there amino acids elsewhere in the 405 00:15:22,870 --> 00:15:21,199 solar system turns out the answer is yes 406 00:15:25,509 --> 00:15:22,880 what is going on with the methane on 407 00:15:28,550 --> 00:15:25,519 mars and why does what does titan have 408 00:15:30,230 --> 00:15:28,560 so much methane it's it rains methane 409 00:15:32,550 --> 00:15:30,240 instead of water there and why does 410 00:15:35,509 --> 00:15:32,560 europa have so much water when it's 411 00:15:38,470 --> 00:15:35,519 embedded in this radiation belt 412 00:15:41,430 --> 00:15:38,480 these are questions that scientists 413 00:15:42,470 --> 00:15:41,440 like steve levin like scott bolton 414 00:15:43,910 --> 00:15:42,480 ask 415 00:15:45,189 --> 00:15:43,920 and answer 416 00:15:47,350 --> 00:15:45,199 and then 417 00:15:48,870 --> 00:15:47,360 generate more questions 418 00:15:51,350 --> 00:15:48,880 in the search 419 00:15:52,870 --> 00:15:51,360 to find out 420 00:15:55,670 --> 00:15:52,880 how do we get here 421 00:15:58,150 --> 00:15:55,680 where are we going and are we alone 422 00:16:00,230 --> 00:15:58,160 really our place in the universe 423 00:16:03,509 --> 00:16:00,240 one of the really interesting quotes i i 424 00:16:05,829 --> 00:16:03,519 love is neil degrasse tyson was being 425 00:16:08,389 --> 00:16:05,839 interviewed by um 426 00:16:09,749 --> 00:16:08,399 jon stewart on the daily show and he 427 00:16:11,910 --> 00:16:09,759 said you know that's the problem with 428 00:16:15,030 --> 00:16:11,920 all you scientists is you got too many 429 00:16:18,949 --> 00:16:17,269 and neil degrasse tyson said no that's 430 00:16:21,509 --> 00:16:18,959 the seduction 431 00:16:22,629 --> 00:16:21,519 and he's absolutely right 432 00:16:25,189 --> 00:16:22,639 learning 433 00:16:27,430 --> 00:16:25,199 about something causes you to want to 434 00:16:29,990 --> 00:16:27,440 learn more about something 435 00:16:32,870 --> 00:16:30,000 and that's really the mode that we're in 436 00:16:35,430 --> 00:16:32,880 and i'm hopeful that that inspires 437 00:16:38,150 --> 00:16:35,440 a younger generation to move into 438 00:16:39,590 --> 00:16:38,160 science and math and technology so that 439 00:16:42,710 --> 00:16:39,600 in the future 440 00:16:46,550 --> 00:16:42,720 we will have a space aware an active 441 00:16:52,069 --> 00:16:50,150 next question is over here on the right 442 00:16:53,749 --> 00:16:52,079 barbara buckner b buckner 443 00:16:54,629 --> 00:16:53,759 how close do you think we are to the 10 444 00:16:56,069 --> 00:16:54,639 000 445 00:16:57,269 --> 00:16:56,079 oh 446 00:17:01,110 --> 00:16:57,279 how close 447 00:17:03,590 --> 00:17:02,550 150 448 00:17:05,189 --> 00:17:03,600 is that the 449 00:17:09,270 --> 00:17:05,199 how many you think are attending or is 450 00:17:12,549 --> 00:17:11,189 i already told somebody so you guys over 451 00:17:15,909 --> 00:17:12,559 there at uh 452 00:17:16,789 --> 00:17:15,919 at tim's table you can't answer 453 00:17:19,829 --> 00:17:16,799 so 454 00:17:24,069 --> 00:17:19,839 here's the way it breaks down 455 00:17:27,750 --> 00:17:24,079 there are 3 000 invited vips that will 456 00:17:33,990 --> 00:17:31,590 delaware north will sell 2 000 tickets 457 00:17:35,590 --> 00:17:34,000 for people that will also go to banana 458 00:17:37,750 --> 00:17:35,600 creek 459 00:17:39,909 --> 00:17:37,760 those are all confirmed 460 00:17:42,390 --> 00:17:39,919 there are 150 tweets 461 00:17:45,669 --> 00:17:42,400 there are 300 people that will 462 00:17:47,990 --> 00:17:45,679 be in osb2 463 00:17:50,549 --> 00:17:48,000 there's going to be 1 600 people at the 464 00:17:52,630 --> 00:17:50,559 turn basin 465 00:17:55,110 --> 00:17:52,640 if you total all that together 466 00:17:56,390 --> 00:17:55,120 get somewhere in the neighborhood and i 467 00:17:58,070 --> 00:17:56,400 somebody would have to do the math for 468 00:18:01,590 --> 00:17:58,080 me um 469 00:18:03,990 --> 00:18:01,600 six to eight thousand there are close to 470 00:18:04,710 --> 00:18:04,000 two thousand more people 471 00:18:07,270 --> 00:18:04,720 that 472 00:18:09,350 --> 00:18:07,280 will be watching the launch outside the 473 00:18:13,110 --> 00:18:09,360 gate of kennedy space center 474 00:18:15,270 --> 00:18:13,120 and so we believe that we will break the 475 00:18:17,750 --> 00:18:15,280 10 000 mark 476 00:18:19,510 --> 00:18:17,760 that's what the guest operations 477 00:18:21,669 --> 00:18:19,520 director reported at the launch 478 00:18:22,710 --> 00:18:21,679 readiness review on 479 00:18:28,230 --> 00:18:22,720 yesterday 480 00:18:33,270 --> 00:18:30,789 so i i thought on my way over i might 481 00:18:34,230 --> 00:18:33,280 tell the story about how juno 10k came 482 00:18:37,029 --> 00:18:34,240 about 483 00:18:40,150 --> 00:18:37,039 but i before i do that i i thought 484 00:18:43,029 --> 00:18:40,160 i i really need to thank you all 485 00:18:44,870 --> 00:18:43,039 for making that happen because without 486 00:18:46,870 --> 00:18:44,880 social media we would not have been able 487 00:18:49,750 --> 00:18:46,880 to do as well as we did 488 00:18:51,990 --> 00:18:49,760 uh in terms of raising the awareness 489 00:18:54,390 --> 00:18:52,000 of expendable launch 490 00:18:56,070 --> 00:18:54,400 vehicles their launches 491 00:18:57,190 --> 00:18:56,080 and uh and the missions that they 492 00:18:59,110 --> 00:18:57,200 support 493 00:19:00,549 --> 00:18:59,120 so do i have time for the story or 494 00:19:02,710 --> 00:19:00,559 stephanie are you 495 00:19:05,110 --> 00:19:02,720 all right 496 00:19:06,470 --> 00:19:05,120 uh about a year ago i was in a meeting a 497 00:19:09,590 --> 00:19:06,480 budget meeting 498 00:19:11,669 --> 00:19:09,600 with charlie bolden and ed weiler and ed 499 00:19:13,750 --> 00:19:11,679 weiler was making a presentation and his 500 00:19:15,990 --> 00:19:13,760 comment was 501 00:19:17,750 --> 00:19:16,000 inside of four months 502 00:19:19,750 --> 00:19:17,760 planetary science division will launch 503 00:19:21,830 --> 00:19:19,760 four and a half billion dollars worth of 504 00:19:24,549 --> 00:19:21,840 hardware into space by the way that's 505 00:19:26,630 --> 00:19:24,559 what starts tomorrow 506 00:19:29,830 --> 00:19:26,640 and charlie just about came out of his 507 00:19:31,430 --> 00:19:29,840 chair and he said we need to find a way 508 00:19:34,870 --> 00:19:31,440 to engage 509 00:19:38,230 --> 00:19:34,880 the guest operations and the community 510 00:19:41,029 --> 00:19:38,240 down at kennedy space center to embrace 511 00:19:42,470 --> 00:19:41,039 expendable launch vehicles 512 00:19:44,070 --> 00:19:42,480 and everybody went yeah yeah that's a 513 00:19:46,150 --> 00:19:44,080 really good idea i mean we'll send them 514 00:19:48,870 --> 00:19:46,160 a little bit more money 515 00:19:50,070 --> 00:19:48,880 about three months ago it was may 516 00:19:51,909 --> 00:19:50,080 i was 517 00:19:53,430 --> 00:19:51,919 in an elevator you know they always tell 518 00:19:54,630 --> 00:19:53,440 you you should have your elevator speech 519 00:19:56,390 --> 00:19:54,640 ready 520 00:19:59,029 --> 00:19:56,400 well i had been rehearsed 521 00:20:00,870 --> 00:19:59,039 and i was in an elevator with charlie 522 00:20:03,110 --> 00:20:00,880 and i said you know 523 00:20:05,029 --> 00:20:03,120 juno is the first launch after the last 524 00:20:07,190 --> 00:20:05,039 shuttle 525 00:20:09,350 --> 00:20:07,200 and i said 526 00:20:12,149 --> 00:20:09,360 we normally invite 300 to a thousand 527 00:20:14,310 --> 00:20:12,159 people to a a rocket launch 528 00:20:15,510 --> 00:20:14,320 but you guys on the human space flight 529 00:20:17,270 --> 00:20:15,520 side 530 00:20:19,190 --> 00:20:17,280 you'll get 531 00:20:21,430 --> 00:20:19,200 hundreds of thousands or you know in the 532 00:20:22,950 --> 00:20:21,440 case of sts-135 was it close to a 533 00:20:25,190 --> 00:20:22,960 million 534 00:20:27,190 --> 00:20:25,200 um out for a launch 535 00:20:30,149 --> 00:20:27,200 i said wouldn't it be cool 536 00:20:32,549 --> 00:20:30,159 if we could get and i in in the moment 537 00:20:34,390 --> 00:20:32,559 made up a number wouldn't it be cool if 538 00:20:35,830 --> 00:20:34,400 we could get 10 000 people out to the 539 00:20:38,230 --> 00:20:35,840 juno launch 540 00:20:39,909 --> 00:20:38,240 and he said that's a great idea and then 541 00:20:44,310 --> 00:20:39,919 i immediately backed off and i said well 542 00:20:47,190 --> 00:20:46,310 and he said yes but if you don't try you 543 00:20:49,190 --> 00:20:47,200 won't 544 00:20:50,950 --> 00:20:49,200 and so that's how 545 00:20:53,430 --> 00:20:50,960 we got the support 546 00:20:55,590 --> 00:20:53,440 not only for juno 10k but for the juno 547 00:20:57,350 --> 00:20:55,600 tweet up and for the grail tweet up and 548 00:21:00,230 --> 00:20:57,360 for the msl tweet up 549 00:21:03,430 --> 00:21:00,240 and so we are going to set similar goals 550 00:21:08,230 --> 00:21:03,440 for grail and msl 551 00:21:13,830 --> 00:21:10,950 i'm not so sure i don't know about grail 552 00:21:16,630 --> 00:21:13,840 but we won't know if we don't try 553 00:21:18,390 --> 00:21:16,640 so that's where we're at and just on 554 00:21:20,710 --> 00:21:18,400 that note you know jim's a great guy to 555 00:21:24,950 --> 00:21:20,720 ask questions about grail and msl too 556 00:21:27,270 --> 00:21:24,960 because he's a all over planetary guy 557 00:21:29,510 --> 00:21:27,280 hi jim i'm morris jones from los angeles 558 00:21:31,270 --> 00:21:29,520 on twitter mojo la 559 00:21:32,549 --> 00:21:31,280 and i have a i don't know if this 560 00:21:34,710 --> 00:21:32,559 question is in your wheelhouse or not 561 00:21:37,590 --> 00:21:34,720 but i grew up watching 562 00:21:38,630 --> 00:21:37,600 as a rocket geek watching mercury gemini 563 00:21:40,950 --> 00:21:38,640 apollo 564 00:21:43,270 --> 00:21:40,960 and i know that um 565 00:21:45,590 --> 00:21:43,280 after the first two mercury redstone 566 00:21:49,270 --> 00:21:45,600 missions uh john glenn and all the 567 00:21:51,750 --> 00:21:49,280 others rode on a rocket called an atlas 568 00:21:54,870 --> 00:21:51,760 and i wonder if you could tell me if 569 00:21:56,870 --> 00:21:54,880 there's some tie between the atlas that 570 00:21:59,830 --> 00:21:56,880 that that he rode and the rockets that 571 00:22:02,390 --> 00:21:59,840 we call atlas now you know um i really 572 00:22:04,710 --> 00:22:02,400 can't answer that question uh i know we 573 00:22:07,029 --> 00:22:04,720 were talking about it just yesterday and 574 00:22:08,789 --> 00:22:07,039 frankly i can't remember the answer but 575 00:22:10,710 --> 00:22:08,799 there will be a ula person here right 576 00:22:12,710 --> 00:22:10,720 stephanie 577 00:22:15,270 --> 00:22:12,720 come talk to us tomorrow so if you could 578 00:22:17,750 --> 00:22:15,280 hold hold that question that is a very 579 00:22:21,669 --> 00:22:17,760 good question or you could tweet at ula 580 00:22:21,679 --> 00:22:25,590 so next question over here on the right 581 00:22:30,630 --> 00:22:27,750 hi my name is emily carney and i'm out 582 00:22:32,070 --> 00:22:30,640 of st petersburg florida um i have a 583 00:22:34,950 --> 00:22:32,080 question it's more of an engineering 584 00:22:37,029 --> 00:22:34,960 question i know uh previous space probes 585 00:22:38,870 --> 00:22:37,039 in the past like pioneer and voyager 586 00:22:41,590 --> 00:22:38,880 from those families they used a 587 00:22:44,230 --> 00:22:41,600 radioisotope thermoelectric generators 588 00:22:46,470 --> 00:22:44,240 to power themselves or rtgs 589 00:22:48,630 --> 00:22:46,480 i know juno is a departure because it 590 00:22:50,630 --> 00:22:48,640 employs solar panels 591 00:22:52,870 --> 00:22:50,640 what was the motivation behind using 592 00:22:54,149 --> 00:22:52,880 that and why basically 593 00:22:56,549 --> 00:22:54,159 you're asking the right guy that 594 00:22:59,750 --> 00:22:56,559 question too 595 00:23:02,470 --> 00:22:59,760 so rtgs is also in my portfolio as well 596 00:23:05,270 --> 00:23:02,480 as the plutonium that powers them 597 00:23:07,909 --> 00:23:05,280 it's a very expensive prospect to fly a 598 00:23:09,350 --> 00:23:07,919 radio isotope thermoelectric generator 599 00:23:11,750 --> 00:23:09,360 or it's 600 00:23:17,270 --> 00:23:11,760 its new cousin something called an 601 00:23:22,070 --> 00:23:18,870 i don't even want to quote numbers it's 602 00:23:24,470 --> 00:23:22,080 just very expensive and so you only ever 603 00:23:27,350 --> 00:23:24,480 use it when you're going someplace 604 00:23:29,110 --> 00:23:27,360 you're absolutely certain you can't use 605 00:23:33,669 --> 00:23:29,120 solar rays 606 00:23:36,230 --> 00:23:33,679 and so juno really pushed the edge 607 00:23:39,110 --> 00:23:36,240 we'd not ever been to jupiter before on 608 00:23:40,149 --> 00:23:39,120 solar rays we may not ever go back to 609 00:23:42,950 --> 00:23:40,159 jupiter 610 00:23:45,430 --> 00:23:42,960 on solar arrays the judo the juno 611 00:23:47,909 --> 00:23:45,440 mission and its orbit design is just so 612 00:23:51,029 --> 00:23:47,919 very highly optimized that you could 613 00:23:53,350 --> 00:23:51,039 make solar rays work it did come at a 614 00:23:56,230 --> 00:23:53,360 cost though we invested quite a lot of 615 00:23:58,710 --> 00:23:56,240 money in making solar arrays work that 616 00:24:00,710 --> 00:23:58,720 that far out in space there's an effect 617 00:24:03,909 --> 00:24:00,720 called lilt low intensity low 618 00:24:04,710 --> 00:24:03,919 temperature that causes the solar rays 619 00:24:06,789 --> 00:24:04,720 to 620 00:24:07,990 --> 00:24:06,799 not function the way they would closer 621 00:24:09,590 --> 00:24:08,000 into earth 622 00:24:11,110 --> 00:24:09,600 and so we spent a lot of technology 623 00:24:12,630 --> 00:24:11,120 dollars trying to make sure that we 624 00:24:14,870 --> 00:24:12,640 understood those effects so that the 625 00:24:16,310 --> 00:24:14,880 mission would be successful 626 00:24:18,789 --> 00:24:16,320 the solar arrays on 627 00:24:20,870 --> 00:24:18,799 juno they come out right 628 00:24:23,750 --> 00:24:20,880 six minutes after we separate from the 629 00:24:24,789 --> 00:24:23,760 launch vehicle in shadow and so as we 630 00:24:27,190 --> 00:24:24,799 emerge 631 00:24:29,350 --> 00:24:27,200 from the eclipse of the uh of the earth 632 00:24:31,269 --> 00:24:29,360 they'll be illuminated by the sun 633 00:24:34,070 --> 00:24:31,279 they'll be full on the sun 634 00:24:35,350 --> 00:24:34,080 they put out about 12 000 watts while 635 00:24:38,390 --> 00:24:35,360 they're here at earth 636 00:24:40,549 --> 00:24:38,400 but during its five-year voyage 637 00:24:41,590 --> 00:24:40,559 the sun gets dimmer and dimmer and 638 00:24:42,630 --> 00:24:41,600 dimmer 639 00:24:44,549 --> 00:24:42,640 such that 640 00:24:47,430 --> 00:24:44,559 by the time you get out to 641 00:24:50,870 --> 00:24:47,440 uh to jupiter 642 00:24:54,149 --> 00:24:50,880 it's only putting out 400 watts 643 00:24:57,750 --> 00:24:54,159 and 200 of those 400 watts 644 00:25:00,710 --> 00:24:57,760 are used to keep the spacecraft warm 645 00:25:04,470 --> 00:25:00,720 so the whole juno mission 646 00:25:06,149 --> 00:25:04,480 is running on basically two light bulbs 647 00:25:08,470 --> 00:25:06,159 so 648 00:25:10,710 --> 00:25:08,480 all right do we have time for one more 649 00:25:12,710 --> 00:25:10,720 hi jim my name is jason major i'm a 650 00:25:13,669 --> 00:25:12,720 space blogger for lights in the dark dot 651 00:25:14,789 --> 00:25:13,679 com 652 00:25:16,870 --> 00:25:14,799 and 653 00:25:19,830 --> 00:25:16,880 once juno launches it's going to take 654 00:25:23,590 --> 00:25:19,840 five years for it to arrive at jupiter 655 00:25:25,990 --> 00:25:23,600 in july 2016. um when would we start to 656 00:25:27,750 --> 00:25:26,000 actually see images coming in from juno 657 00:25:30,149 --> 00:25:27,760 will it be when it when it establishes 658 00:25:31,750 --> 00:25:30,159 orbit or will we get a a sneak peek as 659 00:25:34,230 --> 00:25:31,760 it's approaching i'll tell you what i'm 660 00:25:37,190 --> 00:25:34,240 going to let steve when steve levin gets 661 00:25:38,710 --> 00:25:37,200 up and talks okay i'll i'll let you poke 662 00:25:41,190 --> 00:25:38,720 at him about that 663 00:25:43,430 --> 00:25:41,200 my our intention is that as soon as 664 00:25:44,549 --> 00:25:43,440 images are available we start taking 665 00:25:46,870 --> 00:25:44,559 them 666 00:25:47,750 --> 00:25:46,880 as long as the spacecraft is safe and 667 00:25:49,430 --> 00:25:47,760 and then 668 00:25:51,190 --> 00:25:49,440 soon thereafter we make them as public 669 00:25:51,909 --> 00:25:51,200 as we possibly can 670 00:25:54,390 --> 00:25:51,919 but 671 00:25:55,669 --> 00:25:54,400 a lot of that depends upon the way the 672 00:25:57,590 --> 00:25:55,679 science 673 00:25:59,269 --> 00:25:57,600 architecture is 674 00:26:01,669 --> 00:25:59,279 is set up right 675 00:26:03,909 --> 00:26:01,679 for the mission so juno's primary 676 00:26:06,789 --> 00:26:03,919 mission is not to take pictures 677 00:26:09,510 --> 00:26:06,799 it's to look into the clouds and measure 678 00:26:11,669 --> 00:26:09,520 the magnetic fields once that data comes 679 00:26:13,269 --> 00:26:11,679 back there's some processing that they 680 00:26:14,789 --> 00:26:13,279 have to do before they can say here's 681 00:26:16,149 --> 00:26:14,799 what we're seeing in the clouds of 682 00:26:18,230 --> 00:26:16,159 jupiter or here 683 00:26:19,750 --> 00:26:18,240 here's what the magnetic field at 684 00:26:21,590 --> 00:26:19,760 jupiter looks like 685 00:26:23,750 --> 00:26:21,600 there is a camera on board it's an 686 00:26:25,669 --> 00:26:23,760 educational public outreach camera and 687 00:26:27,909 --> 00:26:25,679 i'm not exactly sure how it's targeted 688 00:26:30,390 --> 00:26:27,919 but i'm sure steve will tell us right 689 00:26:33,029 --> 00:26:30,400 and also mike ravine will be talking to 690 00:26:34,789 --> 00:26:33,039 us tomorrow morning about junocam 691 00:26:36,390 --> 00:26:34,799 perfect yeah 692 00:26:38,549 --> 00:26:36,400 to pass around 693 00:26:40,630 --> 00:26:38,559 excellent fantastic 694 00:26:42,230 --> 00:26:40,640 so one more question one more question 695 00:26:43,750 --> 00:26:42,240 and then i'm done questions over here in 696 00:26:46,230 --> 00:26:43,760 the back okay 697 00:26:47,909 --> 00:26:46,240 hi uh john stockton and i have a 698 00:26:50,549 --> 00:26:47,919 question that's not so much science and 699 00:26:51,909 --> 00:26:50,559 more just your personal opinion um you 700 00:26:54,549 --> 00:26:51,919 alluded earlier to how you know the 701 00:26:57,510 --> 00:26:54,559 public is in love with mars so msl is 702 00:26:59,190 --> 00:26:57,520 clearly the the public favorite um 703 00:27:01,190 --> 00:26:59,200 but what is your personal favorite we've 704 00:27:03,830 --> 00:27:01,200 got missions to asteroids 705 00:27:06,630 --> 00:27:03,840 and the moon and 706 00:27:07,669 --> 00:27:06,640 this cutting out jupiter and mars you 707 00:27:09,430 --> 00:27:07,679 know we've got all these missions what 708 00:27:12,070 --> 00:27:09,440 is your personal favorite into this so 709 00:27:18,230 --> 00:27:12,080 my my mother you always used to say i 710 00:27:23,990 --> 00:27:21,269 what excites me is not necessarily the 711 00:27:25,350 --> 00:27:24,000 individual missions but the fact that we 712 00:27:27,510 --> 00:27:25,360 can begin to 713 00:27:28,950 --> 00:27:27,520 uh further our 714 00:27:31,669 --> 00:27:28,960 understanding 715 00:27:34,230 --> 00:27:31,679 of where we're at in the universe 716 00:27:36,630 --> 00:27:34,240 that we can begin to start looking to 717 00:27:38,870 --> 00:27:36,640 see if we actually are alone in fact jim 718 00:27:40,549 --> 00:27:38,880 green my boss and i have a steak dinner 719 00:27:42,389 --> 00:27:40,559 bet on the results 720 00:27:44,789 --> 00:27:42,399 of msl 721 00:27:47,029 --> 00:27:44,799 and the classification of the isotope of 722 00:27:49,350 --> 00:27:47,039 the methane that we might measure once 723 00:27:52,230 --> 00:27:49,360 we land msl on the surface of mars 724 00:27:53,029 --> 00:27:52,240 that's a little detailed 725 00:27:59,029 --> 00:27:53,039 but 726 00:28:00,070 --> 00:27:59,039 not there ever was life on mars 727 00:28:01,350 --> 00:28:00,080 so 728 00:28:03,350 --> 00:28:01,360 i think that's it right trent i'm 729 00:28:05,110 --> 00:28:03,360 getting the hook one quick question if 730 00:28:06,470 --> 00:28:05,120 you can do 20 to 30 seconds on why 731 00:28:08,630 --> 00:28:06,480 methane is important you brought it up a 732 00:28:10,310 --> 00:28:08,640 couple times it's tantalizing as an 733 00:28:12,710 --> 00:28:10,320 answer 734 00:28:14,630 --> 00:28:12,720 well methane is a complex 735 00:28:17,430 --> 00:28:14,640 organic compound 736 00:28:20,789 --> 00:28:17,440 and it forms in one of two ways it 737 00:28:22,950 --> 00:28:20,799 either comes from geologic activity 738 00:28:24,549 --> 00:28:22,960 water flowing across magma across 739 00:28:26,230 --> 00:28:24,559 certain kinds of minerals you know you 740 00:28:28,070 --> 00:28:26,240 get methane out of volcanoes and that 741 00:28:30,870 --> 00:28:28,080 sort of thing 742 00:28:32,149 --> 00:28:30,880 or it comes from life either decaying 743 00:28:35,029 --> 00:28:32,159 life or 744 00:28:36,549 --> 00:28:35,039 excrement you know like cows 745 00:28:39,430 --> 00:28:36,559 so 746 00:28:40,389 --> 00:28:39,440 what we've seen on mars 747 00:28:43,669 --> 00:28:40,399 is 748 00:28:45,269 --> 00:28:43,679 methane clouds that come and go with the 749 00:28:47,590 --> 00:28:45,279 seasons 750 00:28:50,230 --> 00:28:47,600 why is that we're not sure where is it 751 00:28:52,710 --> 00:28:50,240 coming from we don't know 752 00:28:56,710 --> 00:28:52,720 we're pretty sure there's no 753 00:29:00,310 --> 00:28:56,720 geologic activity on mars 754 00:29:05,590 --> 00:29:00,320 maybe there's cows on mars 755 00:29:11,430 --> 00:29:08,710 so the the bottom line the bottom line 756 00:29:13,510 --> 00:29:11,440 is it's an indicator of life maybe and 757 00:29:14,310 --> 00:29:13,520 that's why it's important to us 758 00:29:16,230 --> 00:29:14,320 so 759 00:29:17,990 --> 00:29:16,240 with that i've got one thing i want to 760 00:29:20,870 --> 00:29:18,000 do before i stand down stephanie would 761 00:29:22,310 --> 00:29:20,880 you come up here please 762 00:29:24,549 --> 00:29:22,320 stephanie 763 00:29:27,350 --> 00:29:24,559 took on the challenge 764 00:29:29,669 --> 00:29:27,360 of bringing up uh a tweet up from 765 00:29:30,870 --> 00:29:29,679 scratch not not just one tweet up but 766 00:29:33,590 --> 00:29:30,880 three 767 00:29:35,830 --> 00:29:33,600 and so this is a personal gift 768 00:29:36,630 --> 00:29:35,840 from jim green and myself to say thank 769 00:29:40,630 --> 00:29:36,640 you 770 00:29:43,830 --> 00:29:40,640 and what it is is an artist concept 771 00:29:50,710 --> 00:29:43,840 a black blown glass of jupiter 772 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:56,389 thank you 773 00:29:56,399 --> 00:30:05,750 let's hear it for at nasa gym everybody 774 00:30:10,149 --> 00:30:07,750 okay we're pleased to introduce our next 775 00:30:12,549 --> 00:30:10,159 speaker he is the juno principal 776 00:30:14,149 --> 00:30:12,559 investigator he is the director of the 777 00:30:15,750 --> 00:30:14,159 space science department at the 778 00:30:17,269 --> 00:30:15,760 southwest research institute in san 779 00:30:18,950 --> 00:30:17,279 antonio texas 780 00:30:20,230 --> 00:30:18,960 and all that means he leads the 781 00:30:22,070 --> 00:30:20,240 international science team that's 782 00:30:24,470 --> 00:30:22,080 seeking to unmask the mysteries that lie 783 00:30:39,590 --> 00:30:24,480 beneath jupiter's clouds that let me 784 00:30:45,029 --> 00:30:41,029 well thank you 785 00:30:48,710 --> 00:30:45,039 uh for being here it's really exciting 786 00:30:51,750 --> 00:30:48,720 just one day away from the launch 787 00:30:55,350 --> 00:30:51,760 juno will launch off to jupiter 788 00:30:56,789 --> 00:30:55,360 it arrives in 2016. 789 00:30:58,950 --> 00:30:56,799 so 790 00:31:03,029 --> 00:30:58,960 why are we going there 791 00:31:06,870 --> 00:31:05,190 questions really fundamental questions 792 00:31:09,509 --> 00:31:06,880 is what we're after 793 00:31:13,269 --> 00:31:09,519 who are we 794 00:31:15,830 --> 00:31:13,279 how'd we get here where are we going 795 00:31:17,430 --> 00:31:15,840 what happened how did we find ourselves 796 00:31:19,590 --> 00:31:17,440 on the earth where did the earth come 797 00:31:22,389 --> 00:31:19,600 from where did life come from 798 00:31:24,950 --> 00:31:22,399 these are questions that are 799 00:31:26,549 --> 00:31:24,960 addressed by all of the nasa missions 800 00:31:27,590 --> 00:31:26,559 not just juno 801 00:31:29,029 --> 00:31:27,600 each one 802 00:31:30,230 --> 00:31:29,039 provides some unique piece of 803 00:31:32,310 --> 00:31:30,240 information 804 00:31:34,070 --> 00:31:32,320 that helps us understand nature helps us 805 00:31:35,750 --> 00:31:34,080 understand ourselves 806 00:31:38,149 --> 00:31:35,760 looking out at the universe trying to 807 00:31:42,149 --> 00:31:38,159 figure out how we fit in 808 00:31:44,230 --> 00:31:42,159 how does the earth work how do we work 809 00:31:47,750 --> 00:31:44,240 so juno each mission has a unique 810 00:31:49,509 --> 00:31:47,760 contribution juno has one as well 811 00:31:51,909 --> 00:31:49,519 we're going to jupiter because it's the 812 00:31:53,350 --> 00:31:51,919 largest of all the planets 813 00:31:55,430 --> 00:31:53,360 so 814 00:31:58,070 --> 00:31:55,440 after the sun formed 815 00:32:02,549 --> 00:31:58,080 there were leftovers 816 00:32:07,350 --> 00:32:04,070 saturn got the next 817 00:32:09,830 --> 00:32:07,360 biggest chunk uranus neptune etc 818 00:32:12,870 --> 00:32:09,840 the really tiny scraps 819 00:32:16,549 --> 00:32:14,230 so we're trying to figure out what 820 00:32:17,590 --> 00:32:16,559 happened there jupiter because it's so 821 00:32:20,389 --> 00:32:17,600 massive 822 00:32:22,389 --> 00:32:20,399 has held on to its original material we 823 00:32:24,710 --> 00:32:22,399 lost most of ours at earth we don't 824 00:32:26,149 --> 00:32:24,720 really know our own history very well 825 00:32:28,070 --> 00:32:26,159 because we are 826 00:32:29,909 --> 00:32:28,080 have a powerful enough gravity field to 827 00:32:32,789 --> 00:32:29,919 hold on to the material whereas jupiter 828 00:32:36,070 --> 00:32:32,799 is pretty much the same as when it first 829 00:32:38,549 --> 00:32:36,080 formed i mean it's got lots of dynamics 830 00:32:42,149 --> 00:32:38,559 the magnetosphere in the atmosphere 831 00:32:43,509 --> 00:32:42,159 buzzing around and stuff but 832 00:32:45,669 --> 00:32:43,519 it's pretty much held onto its 833 00:32:48,149 --> 00:32:45,679 composition and we know this because 834 00:32:50,070 --> 00:32:48,159 it's mostly hydrogen helium 835 00:32:51,110 --> 00:32:50,080 in fact the sun is mostly hydrogen and 836 00:32:53,029 --> 00:32:51,120 helium 837 00:32:55,350 --> 00:32:53,039 the interstellar clouds that we see that 838 00:32:56,630 --> 00:32:55,360 we think make stars are mostly hydrogen 839 00:32:58,630 --> 00:32:56,640 and helium 840 00:33:00,630 --> 00:32:58,640 the whole universe is mostly hydrogen 841 00:33:02,870 --> 00:33:00,640 and helium 842 00:33:07,430 --> 00:33:02,880 so there's this other stuff 843 00:33:10,870 --> 00:33:09,509 think of your chemistry table when 844 00:33:12,870 --> 00:33:10,880 you're in school 845 00:33:15,909 --> 00:33:12,880 so you got hydrogen and helium the two 846 00:33:17,509 --> 00:33:15,919 lightest elements the next ones 847 00:33:19,909 --> 00:33:17,519 in fact all of them 848 00:33:22,310 --> 00:33:19,919 are just the heavy elements 849 00:33:27,190 --> 00:33:22,320 the carbon the nitrogen the sulfur the 850 00:33:31,350 --> 00:33:29,590 so somehow and they're just traces in 851 00:33:33,269 --> 00:33:31,360 the universe it's mostly still this 852 00:33:35,750 --> 00:33:33,279 hydrogen and helium stuff so somehow 853 00:33:38,389 --> 00:33:35,760 when jupiter forms 854 00:33:41,269 --> 00:33:38,399 it gets a little bit more of these heavy 855 00:33:43,750 --> 00:33:41,279 elements than the sun does 856 00:33:45,669 --> 00:33:43,760 so the sun gets formed jupiter's almost 857 00:33:47,509 --> 00:33:45,679 just like it 858 00:33:50,149 --> 00:33:47,519 but it's got a little more more of these 859 00:33:52,630 --> 00:33:50,159 heavy elements we call it an enrichment 860 00:33:54,710 --> 00:33:52,640 we don't know how that happened we know 861 00:33:55,990 --> 00:33:54,720 that it's enriched in carbon and 862 00:33:57,990 --> 00:33:56,000 nitrogen 863 00:33:59,350 --> 00:33:58,000 and sulfur in fact galio probe went in 864 00:34:01,269 --> 00:33:59,360 and we know that it's enriched by all 865 00:34:03,350 --> 00:34:01,279 these things about factor of three or 866 00:34:05,830 --> 00:34:03,360 four with respect to the percentage of 867 00:34:07,430 --> 00:34:05,840 hydrogen in it compared to the sun we 868 00:34:10,710 --> 00:34:07,440 don't know how that happened we're 869 00:34:13,349 --> 00:34:10,720 missing one of the key pieces oxygen 870 00:34:15,349 --> 00:34:13,359 which is tied up in water 871 00:34:17,349 --> 00:34:15,359 oxygen is the third most abundant 872 00:34:19,510 --> 00:34:17,359 element in the universe so we're missing 873 00:34:22,310 --> 00:34:19,520 the next biggest piece 874 00:34:25,669 --> 00:34:22,320 it's fundamental to us we know we search 875 00:34:27,109 --> 00:34:25,679 for life looking for liquid water 876 00:34:29,750 --> 00:34:27,119 but it's fundamental in the universe 877 00:34:32,389 --> 00:34:29,760 it's probably the most common molecule 878 00:34:35,190 --> 00:34:32,399 i mean multi-element molecule apart from 879 00:34:37,430 --> 00:34:35,200 h2 two hydrogens two hydrogens and 880 00:34:39,669 --> 00:34:37,440 oxygen make water so we're trying to 881 00:34:41,109 --> 00:34:39,679 figure out this history 882 00:34:43,349 --> 00:34:41,119 we're trying to figure out where we came 883 00:34:45,829 --> 00:34:43,359 from that the uh the stuff that 884 00:34:47,990 --> 00:34:45,839 jupiter's enriched in is the stuff we're 885 00:34:50,310 --> 00:34:48,000 made out of 886 00:34:52,470 --> 00:34:50,320 so understanding the history of these 887 00:34:55,109 --> 00:34:52,480 volatiles across the early solar system 888 00:34:56,629 --> 00:34:55,119 comes back and leads to us somehow 889 00:34:59,030 --> 00:34:56,639 not just the earth and the terrestrial 890 00:35:00,550 --> 00:34:59,040 planets but life itself we don't know 891 00:35:03,349 --> 00:35:00,560 the history of these elements we don't 892 00:35:05,589 --> 00:35:03,359 know the history of oxygen so what juno 893 00:35:07,109 --> 00:35:05,599 is doing is it's going back to jupiter 894 00:35:10,069 --> 00:35:07,119 because it's the biggest and it's got 895 00:35:12,870 --> 00:35:10,079 this record for us it's going to get the 896 00:35:14,310 --> 00:35:12,880 oxygen abundance by measuring water deep 897 00:35:16,069 --> 00:35:14,320 in the atmosphere 898 00:35:17,109 --> 00:35:16,079 something the galileo probe wasn't able 899 00:35:19,190 --> 00:35:17,119 to get 900 00:35:20,950 --> 00:35:19,200 even though it worked perfectly well it 901 00:35:22,710 --> 00:35:20,960 went into some weird spot or at least 902 00:35:23,910 --> 00:35:22,720 some scientists believe it went into a 903 00:35:26,470 --> 00:35:23,920 weird spot 904 00:35:28,870 --> 00:35:26,480 and the oxygen was deep down and so it 905 00:35:31,589 --> 00:35:28,880 never really got the measurement 906 00:35:32,870 --> 00:35:31,599 of course though maybe the scientists 907 00:35:34,710 --> 00:35:32,880 are wrong and maybe that's the way 908 00:35:36,710 --> 00:35:34,720 jupiter really is 909 00:35:38,390 --> 00:35:36,720 so juno will find out whether that was a 910 00:35:40,470 --> 00:35:38,400 weird spot or whether 911 00:35:42,790 --> 00:35:40,480 jupiter's all over like that 912 00:35:45,030 --> 00:35:42,800 if it turns out it wasn't a weird spot 913 00:35:48,390 --> 00:35:45,040 that galileo probe went in and jupiter 914 00:35:50,310 --> 00:35:48,400 is actually depleted in oxygen then we 915 00:35:52,150 --> 00:35:50,320 actually have no real understanding of 916 00:35:54,069 --> 00:35:52,160 how the solar system is made or how any 917 00:35:55,750 --> 00:35:54,079 planet gets made and the scientists are 918 00:35:57,270 --> 00:35:55,760 going to have to go back to square one 919 00:35:59,270 --> 00:35:57,280 come up with some explanation of what 920 00:36:00,230 --> 00:35:59,280 happened to the oxygen because we don't 921 00:36:02,710 --> 00:36:00,240 know 922 00:36:05,270 --> 00:36:02,720 if it's got a lot of oxygen it may help 923 00:36:07,510 --> 00:36:05,280 us understand where jupiter's formed 924 00:36:09,990 --> 00:36:07,520 farther out maybe out at uranus and 925 00:36:12,069 --> 00:36:10,000 neptune's distance and migrates in 926 00:36:14,230 --> 00:36:12,079 or maybe it's formed near these are 927 00:36:16,710 --> 00:36:14,240 things that are tied to how much water 928 00:36:18,790 --> 00:36:16,720 we we find in jupiter 929 00:36:20,390 --> 00:36:18,800 what else does juno do juno goes into 930 00:36:22,710 --> 00:36:20,400 this polar orbit 931 00:36:25,270 --> 00:36:22,720 a very special polar orbit 932 00:36:27,910 --> 00:36:25,280 going right over the poles and very 933 00:36:30,950 --> 00:36:27,920 close to the planet 5 000 kilometers 934 00:36:33,430 --> 00:36:30,960 above the cloud tops 935 00:36:35,430 --> 00:36:33,440 so that's pretty much skimming the cloud 936 00:36:37,109 --> 00:36:35,440 tops we do that because we want to 937 00:36:39,829 --> 00:36:37,119 measure the gravity and the magnetic 938 00:36:41,910 --> 00:36:39,839 field very 939 00:36:44,390 --> 00:36:41,920 the gravity field tells us how the mass 940 00:36:46,790 --> 00:36:44,400 is distributed inside the planet so when 941 00:36:48,790 --> 00:36:46,800 we start to put together the ingredient 942 00:36:50,630 --> 00:36:48,800 list we also have sort of the structure 943 00:36:53,910 --> 00:36:50,640 of jupiter to put together into that 944 00:36:55,349 --> 00:36:53,920 model of how it forms it's our example 945 00:36:57,430 --> 00:36:55,359 it must have been the first planet that 946 00:36:58,790 --> 00:36:57,440 formed it got most of the leftovers how 947 00:37:00,870 --> 00:36:58,800 did that happen 948 00:37:03,190 --> 00:37:00,880 how did it get enriched does it have a 949 00:37:05,030 --> 00:37:03,200 core in the middle is there a core of 950 00:37:07,270 --> 00:37:05,040 heavy elements in the center we don't 951 00:37:09,750 --> 00:37:07,280 know juno will help us constrain that 952 00:37:11,829 --> 00:37:09,760 that core of heavy elements may be 953 00:37:13,109 --> 00:37:11,839 something that's kind of like the the 954 00:37:14,950 --> 00:37:13,119 rocks or the 955 00:37:16,470 --> 00:37:14,960 the ground that we're used to but of 956 00:37:17,990 --> 00:37:16,480 course it's in the middle of jupiter 957 00:37:19,670 --> 00:37:18,000 under incredible pressure so it's not 958 00:37:21,430 --> 00:37:19,680 going to look like a rock like we know 959 00:37:23,270 --> 00:37:21,440 of 960 00:37:26,710 --> 00:37:23,280 it may not have any core 961 00:37:28,790 --> 00:37:26,720 it may just be gas getting more and more 962 00:37:30,950 --> 00:37:28,800 uh pressure you know and going through a 963 00:37:32,150 --> 00:37:30,960 transition we know part way down the 964 00:37:36,630 --> 00:37:32,160 hydrogen 965 00:37:39,109 --> 00:37:36,640 like a fluid 966 00:37:41,190 --> 00:37:39,119 somewhere deep in that layer 967 00:37:43,510 --> 00:37:41,200 that's already a weird substance 968 00:37:45,510 --> 00:37:43,520 somewhere deep in that layer a magnetic 969 00:37:48,310 --> 00:37:45,520 field gets generated 970 00:37:49,990 --> 00:37:48,320 that magnetic field is the most powerful 971 00:37:52,470 --> 00:37:50,000 of all the planetary magnetic fields in 972 00:37:53,270 --> 00:37:52,480 the entire solar system we want to study 973 00:37:54,790 --> 00:37:53,280 that 974 00:37:56,470 --> 00:37:54,800 we want to understand how magnetic 975 00:37:58,470 --> 00:37:56,480 fields in general get 976 00:38:00,390 --> 00:37:58,480 developed there's a theory out there 977 00:38:02,470 --> 00:38:00,400 called the dynamo theory that says how 978 00:38:04,470 --> 00:38:02,480 the earth's magnetic field gets created 979 00:38:05,829 --> 00:38:04,480 but it doesn't work perfectly well we 980 00:38:07,430 --> 00:38:05,839 need there's a lot of things we still 981 00:38:10,550 --> 00:38:07,440 need to learn about it 982 00:38:11,990 --> 00:38:10,560 jupiter offers a comparative study and 983 00:38:13,910 --> 00:38:12,000 even better 984 00:38:15,990 --> 00:38:13,920 it's a little it's transparent down to 985 00:38:17,750 --> 00:38:16,000 that metallic hydrogen whereas the earth 986 00:38:20,230 --> 00:38:17,760 when we look at our magnetic field has a 987 00:38:24,470 --> 00:38:20,240 permanent magnetized crust blocking our 988 00:38:28,150 --> 00:38:24,480 view down to where the core is 989 00:38:30,310 --> 00:38:28,160 what else do we do we go over the poles 990 00:38:32,470 --> 00:38:30,320 and we're perfectly situated to study 991 00:38:34,069 --> 00:38:32,480 the polar magnetosphere and the aurora 992 00:38:35,589 --> 00:38:34,079 the northern lights 993 00:38:36,630 --> 00:38:35,599 of course there's northern and southern 994 00:38:37,910 --> 00:38:36,640 lights 995 00:38:39,990 --> 00:38:37,920 we're in the north so we always call 996 00:38:41,589 --> 00:38:40,000 them the northern lights 997 00:38:44,390 --> 00:38:41,599 i've never asked in australia but they 998 00:38:46,470 --> 00:38:44,400 may call them the southern lights 999 00:38:47,829 --> 00:38:46,480 but anyway so we go right over the poles 1000 00:38:49,670 --> 00:38:47,839 we've got a whole bunch of instruments 1001 00:38:51,349 --> 00:38:49,680 that are going to study those aurora and 1002 00:38:53,109 --> 00:38:51,359 look at the particles going up and down 1003 00:38:54,870 --> 00:38:53,119 the magnetic field lines creating those 1004 00:38:56,550 --> 00:38:54,880 aurora that will help us understand 1005 00:38:59,270 --> 00:38:56,560 jupiter's aurora which we don't really 1006 00:39:00,870 --> 00:38:59,280 understand very well yet 1007 00:39:03,030 --> 00:39:00,880 but we'll also compare that back to 1008 00:39:04,950 --> 00:39:03,040 earth and saturn and start to put 1009 00:39:07,190 --> 00:39:04,960 together the picture of how aurora and 1010 00:39:08,870 --> 00:39:07,200 polar magnetospheres work these are 1011 00:39:11,670 --> 00:39:08,880 pretty important to us that 1012 00:39:13,270 --> 00:39:11,680 magnetosphere around jupiter is huge but 1013 00:39:14,390 --> 00:39:13,280 the magnetosphere around the earth sort 1014 00:39:15,910 --> 00:39:14,400 of shields us 1015 00:39:17,589 --> 00:39:15,920 so that's a very 1016 00:39:19,910 --> 00:39:17,599 key thing to understand the physics 1017 00:39:22,310 --> 00:39:19,920 behind that and of course one of the key 1018 00:39:25,190 --> 00:39:22,320 things that scientists do in order to 1019 00:39:27,030 --> 00:39:25,200 learn is comparative study 1020 00:39:29,190 --> 00:39:27,040 so comparing the different planets is 1021 00:39:30,870 --> 00:39:29,200 what allows us to learn how the planets 1022 00:39:33,109 --> 00:39:30,880 work you look for similarities 1023 00:39:34,710 --> 00:39:33,119 differences and you try to sort out how 1024 00:39:36,870 --> 00:39:34,720 nature works 1025 00:39:39,030 --> 00:39:36,880 so we learn about ourselves by studying 1026 00:39:41,990 --> 00:39:39,040 jupiter but we also learn about jupiter 1027 00:39:44,710 --> 00:39:42,000 we also use that as our example of giant 1028 00:39:46,630 --> 00:39:44,720 planets around other stars we're now 1029 00:39:49,670 --> 00:39:46,640 being getting to the point where we can 1030 00:39:51,750 --> 00:39:49,680 detect other solar systems 1031 00:39:54,230 --> 00:39:51,760 we we have to understand the role that 1032 00:39:56,470 --> 00:39:54,240 these giant planets played in creating 1033 00:39:59,190 --> 00:39:56,480 these solar systems and so jupiter is 1034 00:40:01,430 --> 00:39:59,200 our key to doing that 1035 00:40:03,510 --> 00:40:01,440 so so i'm just giving you a quick 1036 00:40:07,910 --> 00:40:03,520 overview of the science for juno and 1037 00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:16,950 i don't know hey robin mike's for coming 1038 00:40:21,829 --> 00:40:19,829 uh donald schwartz escobel 1039 00:40:24,390 --> 00:40:21,839 uh my question is there was mention in 1040 00:40:26,470 --> 00:40:24,400 the impress kit that the reason that 1041 00:40:27,750 --> 00:40:26,480 jupiter is not a sun is because of its 1042 00:40:30,309 --> 00:40:27,760 mass 1043 00:40:32,870 --> 00:40:30,319 now how large would it be 1044 00:40:34,950 --> 00:40:32,880 and is it possible that that should we 1045 00:40:36,630 --> 00:40:34,960 need it could we start it up again i'm 1046 00:40:39,109 --> 00:40:36,640 sorry what was the last part could we 1047 00:40:40,710 --> 00:40:39,119 start jupiter up again without having to 1048 00:40:41,750 --> 00:40:40,720 be a mess and having to be an alternate 1049 00:40:44,630 --> 00:40:41,760 son 1050 00:40:46,309 --> 00:40:44,640 take us in 1051 00:40:47,829 --> 00:40:46,319 so what about jupiter could that be the 1052 00:40:49,109 --> 00:40:47,839 b plan 1053 00:40:50,550 --> 00:40:49,119 so uh 1054 00:40:55,430 --> 00:40:50,560 are you thinking it's not warm enough 1055 00:41:00,390 --> 00:40:58,550 because i'm pretty hot but anyway um 1056 00:41:02,550 --> 00:41:00,400 that's a good question so 1057 00:41:04,470 --> 00:41:02,560 i i've read some of the same stuff and 1058 00:41:06,470 --> 00:41:04,480 and my understanding is that if jupiter 1059 00:41:09,030 --> 00:41:06,480 was about 80 times as massive and that's 1060 00:41:10,630 --> 00:41:09,040 what i recall i may not be completely 1061 00:41:12,470 --> 00:41:10,640 correct on this but about 80 times as 1062 00:41:15,430 --> 00:41:12,480 massive then it would have been massive 1063 00:41:17,990 --> 00:41:15,440 enough to ignite the nuclear fusion 1064 00:41:21,349 --> 00:41:18,000 furnace inside which is what sort of 1065 00:41:23,109 --> 00:41:21,359 creates a star right and i think at this 1066 00:41:25,030 --> 00:41:23,119 point there's no way for it to be 1067 00:41:26,950 --> 00:41:25,040 to get 80 times more massive because 1068 00:41:28,309 --> 00:41:26,960 most of that extra if i took all the 1069 00:41:30,790 --> 00:41:28,319 rest of the source and put it in there 1070 00:41:32,470 --> 00:41:30,800 it still wouldn't be big enough 1071 00:41:34,630 --> 00:41:32,480 so um 1072 00:41:36,710 --> 00:41:34,640 now the thing that i'm not sure of about 1073 00:41:39,109 --> 00:41:36,720 that 80 times is that there are many 1074 00:41:41,190 --> 00:41:39,119 kinds of stars 1075 00:41:42,870 --> 00:41:41,200 and i don't know if the 80 times is to 1076 00:41:44,950 --> 00:41:42,880 match our star 1077 00:41:47,910 --> 00:41:44,960 or it is to match 1078 00:41:49,589 --> 00:41:47,920 the smallest known star so it's possible 1079 00:41:50,950 --> 00:41:49,599 that jupiter missed being a star by 1080 00:41:52,950 --> 00:41:50,960 something else but i those the 1081 00:41:54,790 --> 00:41:52,960 astrophysicists that calculated that and 1082 00:41:57,190 --> 00:41:54,800 i'm not familiar with that calculation 1083 00:42:00,710 --> 00:41:57,200 directly is um i think that was the 1084 00:42:01,990 --> 00:42:00,720 minimum mass to get the fusion going 1085 00:42:04,150 --> 00:42:02,000 so i don't think there's any way to 1086 00:42:07,270 --> 00:42:04,160 change that but that's basically what it 1087 00:42:08,630 --> 00:42:07,280 is but jupiter is still cooling from its 1088 00:42:10,790 --> 00:42:08,640 formation 1089 00:42:13,190 --> 00:42:10,800 and so it's hotter inside than outside 1090 00:42:14,950 --> 00:42:13,200 it's glowing we use that in order to get 1091 00:42:16,950 --> 00:42:14,960 our water abundance 1092 00:42:19,030 --> 00:42:16,960 we basically listen 1093 00:42:20,550 --> 00:42:19,040 inside the planet with our microwave 1094 00:42:22,550 --> 00:42:20,560 radiometers 1095 00:42:24,309 --> 00:42:22,560 so we're basically just receiving what's 1096 00:42:26,870 --> 00:42:24,319 called black body radiation we're just 1097 00:42:28,950 --> 00:42:26,880 looking at the thermal glow from jupiter 1098 00:42:31,270 --> 00:42:28,960 glowing and we look at it with different 1099 00:42:32,870 --> 00:42:31,280 wavelengths so you and i all of us if we 1100 00:42:35,670 --> 00:42:32,880 looked in infrared cameras we'd be 1101 00:42:37,910 --> 00:42:35,680 glowing jupiter's not as hot as us so 1102 00:42:39,430 --> 00:42:37,920 it's glowing in radio so that's what 1103 00:42:40,870 --> 00:42:39,440 we're doing we're looking microwave 1104 00:42:43,190 --> 00:42:40,880 basically the same kind of stuff that 1105 00:42:45,750 --> 00:42:43,200 your microwave oven works off of we're 1106 00:42:48,309 --> 00:42:45,760 watching this glow 1107 00:42:50,950 --> 00:42:48,319 and we have different wavelengths some 1108 00:42:52,150 --> 00:42:50,960 are or more or less opaque 1109 00:42:54,630 --> 00:42:52,160 to water 1110 00:42:57,190 --> 00:42:54,640 so things that are more transparent to 1111 00:42:59,510 --> 00:42:57,200 the water the longer wavelengths get the 1112 00:43:01,829 --> 00:42:59,520 glow from deeper down 1113 00:43:04,230 --> 00:43:01,839 and the stuff that is really opaque to 1114 00:43:06,550 --> 00:43:04,240 water just gets blocked right away in 1115 00:43:07,910 --> 00:43:06,560 the and we see the glow from the top and 1116 00:43:09,349 --> 00:43:07,920 that's really the trick to the water 1117 00:43:10,710 --> 00:43:09,359 abundance i know that didn't tie to your 1118 00:43:12,950 --> 00:43:10,720 question but i thought i'd take that 1119 00:43:27,349 --> 00:43:12,960 opportunity to explain it did i get you 1120 00:43:31,109 --> 00:43:29,030 so you're really looking way off in the 1121 00:43:33,510 --> 00:43:31,119 future and wondering when our star burns 1122 00:43:36,069 --> 00:43:33,520 out could we ignite jupiter 1123 00:43:38,390 --> 00:43:36,079 so i think the answer is no 1124 00:43:40,870 --> 00:43:38,400 and it's so far off i i don't think you 1125 00:43:42,870 --> 00:43:40,880 should lose sleep so 1126 00:43:44,630 --> 00:43:42,880 arthur c clarke was wrong that's what 1127 00:43:48,790 --> 00:43:44,640 you're saying uh one question over here 1128 00:43:54,470 --> 00:43:50,870 as you are probably aware there's a 1129 00:43:57,030 --> 00:43:54,480 device on juno called jedi 1130 00:43:58,870 --> 00:43:57,040 uh who came up with that name and how 1131 00:44:01,349 --> 00:43:58,880 long did it come up how long did it take 1132 00:44:04,230 --> 00:44:01,359 for them to come up with that 1133 00:44:06,470 --> 00:44:04,240 so that that is the um 1134 00:44:08,790 --> 00:44:06,480 the energetic particle detector built 1135 00:44:11,430 --> 00:44:08,800 out of apl applied physics lab which is 1136 00:44:14,470 --> 00:44:11,440 part of john hopkins university 1137 00:44:15,910 --> 00:44:14,480 that name was hotly contested it turns 1138 00:44:18,790 --> 00:44:15,920 out 1139 00:44:20,150 --> 00:44:18,800 and the reason was is that before there 1140 00:44:23,270 --> 00:44:20,160 was a juno 1141 00:44:25,670 --> 00:44:23,280 before we made juno we we were proposing 1142 00:44:28,309 --> 00:44:25,680 looking at other concepts and one of 1143 00:44:30,630 --> 00:44:28,319 them was called jazzy that was sort of a 1144 00:44:33,109 --> 00:44:30,640 mission that i'd put together before we 1145 00:44:35,190 --> 00:44:33,119 put together the juno concept 1146 00:44:37,109 --> 00:44:35,200 and it did pretty much the same kind of 1147 00:44:38,790 --> 00:44:37,119 thing but it was just flying past 1148 00:44:40,550 --> 00:44:38,800 jupiter instead of going into orbit so 1149 00:44:43,109 --> 00:44:40,560 it didn't do as much 1150 00:44:46,630 --> 00:44:43,119 and there was a plasma instrument plasma 1151 00:44:47,990 --> 00:44:46,640 is the low energy particles 1152 00:44:50,069 --> 00:44:48,000 and then there's you can have high 1153 00:44:51,109 --> 00:44:50,079 energy particles both are needed to be 1154 00:44:53,510 --> 00:44:51,119 measured but you need different 1155 00:44:55,349 --> 00:44:53,520 instruments so the low energy particles 1156 00:44:57,430 --> 00:44:55,359 was being built by a friend of mine at 1157 00:44:59,670 --> 00:44:57,440 southwest research institute and he 1158 00:45:02,069 --> 00:44:59,680 named his instrument jedi 1159 00:45:04,950 --> 00:45:02,079 on the old mission 1160 00:45:08,710 --> 00:45:04,960 then we dissolve that proposal that 1161 00:45:10,550 --> 00:45:08,720 concept and we and we started juno 1162 00:45:11,589 --> 00:45:10,560 and before he could announce his name 1163 00:45:14,069 --> 00:45:11,599 again 1164 00:45:16,150 --> 00:45:14,079 the guys at apl said we're naming our 1165 00:45:18,710 --> 00:45:16,160 instrument jedi 1166 00:45:20,710 --> 00:45:18,720 and um i think the name i don't know the 1167 00:45:23,190 --> 00:45:20,720 exact person that thought of the name 1168 00:45:24,470 --> 00:45:23,200 but i i i give the credit to a guy named 1169 00:45:26,230 --> 00:45:24,480 barry mock 1170 00:45:29,589 --> 00:45:26,240 but it may have been somebody that was 1171 00:45:33,750 --> 00:45:31,270 thanks scott uh we'll take one more 1172 00:45:39,430 --> 00:45:33,760 question and 1173 00:45:44,309 --> 00:45:41,750 okay so besides the hardware working and 1174 00:45:47,109 --> 00:45:44,319 getting delivered to jupiter 1175 00:45:49,910 --> 00:45:47,119 what are the top two mission success 1176 00:45:55,190 --> 00:45:49,920 criteria for juno 1177 00:46:00,230 --> 00:45:58,230 okay so i i i i get a free pass that i'm 1178 00:46:02,470 --> 00:46:00,240 already at jupiter 1179 00:46:04,870 --> 00:46:02,480 and i'm everything's working 1180 00:46:07,030 --> 00:46:04,880 okay so for the science mission the two 1181 00:46:08,550 --> 00:46:07,040 most imp there's three 1182 00:46:10,069 --> 00:46:08,560 or the three there's three most 1183 00:46:11,190 --> 00:46:10,079 important measurements that we really 1184 00:46:13,670 --> 00:46:11,200 want to get 1185 00:46:15,190 --> 00:46:13,680 we want them all of course but just to 1186 00:46:16,950 --> 00:46:15,200 to uh 1187 00:46:19,430 --> 00:46:16,960 probably the highest level science goals 1188 00:46:22,230 --> 00:46:19,440 are the water abundance inside jupiter 1189 00:46:25,030 --> 00:46:22,240 the global water abundance so we we look 1190 00:46:25,750 --> 00:46:25,040 at many different places to get that 1191 00:46:35,510 --> 00:46:25,760 the 1192 00:46:38,150 --> 00:46:35,520 important measurements to discriminate 1193 00:46:39,349 --> 00:46:38,160 among theories of how planets are made 1194 00:46:41,750 --> 00:46:39,359 we're going out we're trying to figure 1195 00:46:43,510 --> 00:46:41,760 out the recipe for planets so those are 1196 00:46:45,430 --> 00:46:43,520 the two pieces of information that are 1197 00:46:47,430 --> 00:46:45,440 probably the most important 1198 00:46:49,990 --> 00:46:47,440 to help us in in discriminating among 1199 00:46:51,750 --> 00:46:50,000 theories on that the third 1200 00:46:52,870 --> 00:46:51,760 most important measurement that's 1201 00:46:55,030 --> 00:46:52,880 probably equal with these is the 1202 00:46:56,950 --> 00:46:55,040 magnetic field 1203 00:46:58,630 --> 00:46:56,960 and and that's because it all ties into 1204 00:47:01,030 --> 00:46:58,640 the internal structure of how jupiter's 1205 00:47:03,670 --> 00:47:01,040 built the internal structure 1206 00:47:05,349 --> 00:47:03,680 meaning the internal magnetic field and 1207 00:47:06,870 --> 00:47:05,359 that's why we go so close so i would say 1208 00:47:09,349 --> 00:47:06,880 that those three measurements are the 1209 00:47:12,150 --> 00:47:09,359 three most important now we have 1210 00:47:14,470 --> 00:47:12,160 official success criteria 1211 00:47:16,470 --> 00:47:14,480 that deal with um 1212 00:47:19,430 --> 00:47:16,480 being able to obtain 1213 00:47:21,990 --> 00:47:19,440 four data sets out of five 1214 00:47:23,430 --> 00:47:22,000 data sets that we collect so we want to 1215 00:47:26,069 --> 00:47:23,440 do a little bit better than what i just 1216 00:47:33,030 --> 00:47:28,549 okay thanks very much scott appreciate 1217 00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:42,549 thank you 1218 00:47:47,030 --> 00:47:45,270 okay please introduce our next speaker 1219 00:47:48,150 --> 00:47:47,040 this is 1220 00:47:50,230 --> 00:47:48,160 excuse me 1221 00:47:52,790 --> 00:47:50,240 the juno project scientist at the jet 1222 00:47:54,630 --> 00:47:52,800 propulsion lab steve levin 1223 00:47:56,549 --> 00:47:54,640 when we see jupiter we see this i mean 1224 00:47:59,190 --> 00:47:56,559 we see these remarkable images we see 1225 00:48:01,109 --> 00:47:59,200 the big spot we see something incredible 1226 00:48:02,870 --> 00:48:01,119 i i think steve would be fair to say 1227 00:48:05,589 --> 00:48:02,880 sees not only that but the magnetic 1228 00:48:06,710 --> 00:48:05,599 fields and the synchrotron emissions and 1229 00:48:08,230 --> 00:48:06,720 everything that tells us such an 1230 00:48:09,430 --> 00:48:08,240 incredible story about this iconic 1231 00:48:11,829 --> 00:48:09,440 planet so it's a pleasure to have you 1232 00:48:19,349 --> 00:48:11,839 here dr steve levin 1233 00:48:22,950 --> 00:48:21,510 well i'll hold this one it's easier so 1234 00:48:24,390 --> 00:48:22,960 um 1235 00:48:25,430 --> 00:48:24,400 basically what i want to do is answer 1236 00:48:26,390 --> 00:48:25,440 questions 1237 00:48:27,990 --> 00:48:26,400 and 1238 00:48:30,069 --> 00:48:28,000 first i'll i'll tell you just enough so 1239 00:48:31,510 --> 00:48:30,079 you know what to ask questions about 1240 00:48:32,710 --> 00:48:31,520 and 1241 00:48:34,230 --> 00:48:32,720 the first 1242 00:48:36,549 --> 00:48:34,240 description of that is you can ask me 1243 00:48:37,990 --> 00:48:36,559 anything because i've learned how to say 1244 00:48:40,549 --> 00:48:38,000 i don't know 1245 00:48:42,549 --> 00:48:40,559 or i don't want to tell you 1246 00:48:44,470 --> 00:48:42,559 so ask me anything you want but what it 1247 00:48:46,470 --> 00:48:44,480 would make sense to ask me about is the 1248 00:48:48,950 --> 00:48:46,480 science on juno 1249 00:48:51,030 --> 00:48:48,960 and i'll tell you i also um one of my 1250 00:48:52,790 --> 00:48:51,040 main jobs i like to think of it as 1251 00:48:54,390 --> 00:48:52,800 translating science to engineering and 1252 00:48:56,549 --> 00:48:54,400 translating engineering to science i 1253 00:48:58,230 --> 00:48:56,559 kind of help do the interface between 1254 00:49:00,390 --> 00:48:58,240 the engineering team and the science 1255 00:49:02,390 --> 00:49:00,400 team a lot so you could ask me about 1256 00:49:03,910 --> 00:49:02,400 that too if you want i'm sure 1257 00:49:05,030 --> 00:49:03,920 after what scott said there's plenty of 1258 00:49:06,549 --> 00:49:05,040 questions 1259 00:49:08,309 --> 00:49:06,559 so why don't we yeah 1260 00:49:10,470 --> 00:49:08,319 okay oh my gosh i gotta wait for the mic 1261 00:49:12,549 --> 00:49:10,480 huh 1262 00:49:13,910 --> 00:49:12,559 i asked this question of jim before and 1263 00:49:16,870 --> 00:49:13,920 um i 1264 00:49:20,150 --> 00:49:16,880 i know the camera aboard juno is a he 1265 00:49:23,430 --> 00:49:20,160 said a public outreach camera um but 1266 00:49:26,710 --> 00:49:23,440 obviously with with all that we've been 1267 00:49:30,230 --> 00:49:26,720 waiting for to get to jupiter uh in 2016 1268 00:49:32,549 --> 00:49:30,240 what type of images can we expect um 1269 00:49:34,309 --> 00:49:32,559 from the juno spacecraft obviously it's 1270 00:49:36,870 --> 00:49:34,319 going to be very close to jupiter so so 1271 00:49:38,230 --> 00:49:36,880 first of all i want to um make sure i 1272 00:49:39,510 --> 00:49:38,240 make the point because it's important to 1273 00:49:41,510 --> 00:49:39,520 me at least 1274 00:49:42,870 --> 00:49:41,520 we get a lot more information back than 1275 00:49:44,950 --> 00:49:42,880 just images 1276 00:49:45,910 --> 00:49:44,960 so um everybody when you do a space 1277 00:49:47,430 --> 00:49:45,920 mission one of the things everybody 1278 00:49:48,950 --> 00:49:47,440 wants to see is the pictures and i 1279 00:49:50,950 --> 00:49:48,960 understand that we're used to looking at 1280 00:49:52,470 --> 00:49:50,960 pictures but we have a lot of ways of 1281 00:49:55,109 --> 00:49:52,480 looking at jupiter and pictures are only 1282 00:49:56,230 --> 00:49:55,119 one piece of it having said that junocam 1283 00:49:57,190 --> 00:49:56,240 is going to take some really cool 1284 00:50:00,470 --> 00:49:57,200 pictures 1285 00:50:03,510 --> 00:50:00,480 so what's what's going to happen is is 1286 00:50:05,109 --> 00:50:03,520 junocam is sized and aimed at at taking 1287 00:50:07,030 --> 00:50:05,119 pictures of the poles 1288 00:50:09,589 --> 00:50:07,040 we haven't had a spacecraft come 1289 00:50:11,750 --> 00:50:09,599 anywhere close to jupiter over the poles 1290 00:50:13,670 --> 00:50:11,760 so if you go look at 1291 00:50:15,190 --> 00:50:13,680 images we have of jupiter some people 1292 00:50:17,430 --> 00:50:15,200 put together you know a montage or 1293 00:50:19,190 --> 00:50:17,440 whatever and make a a globe of jupiter 1294 00:50:21,030 --> 00:50:19,200 we have one over there or whatever and 1295 00:50:23,030 --> 00:50:21,040 you look at the north and south poles 1296 00:50:24,069 --> 00:50:23,040 they're kind of blurry or blank 1297 00:50:26,230 --> 00:50:24,079 that's because we don't have any good 1298 00:50:27,990 --> 00:50:26,240 images of them we're going to fly juno 1299 00:50:30,870 --> 00:50:28,000 is going to fly right over the poles 1300 00:50:33,670 --> 00:50:30,880 junocam has a big wide 50-something 1301 00:50:35,589 --> 00:50:33,680 degree field of view designed so that 1302 00:50:37,589 --> 00:50:35,599 when we come over the pole 1303 00:50:39,589 --> 00:50:37,599 really close it'll get a really nice 1304 00:50:41,910 --> 00:50:39,599 image what we're going to do with that 1305 00:50:44,470 --> 00:50:41,920 is we're going to 1306 00:50:46,150 --> 00:50:44,480 between now and 2016 when it gets there 1307 00:50:47,990 --> 00:50:46,160 set something up so the public can have 1308 00:50:49,670 --> 00:50:48,000 lots of input on which pictures we take 1309 00:50:52,309 --> 00:50:49,680 because you can't you know the camera 1310 00:50:53,750 --> 00:50:52,319 can't continuously take pictures both 1311 00:50:56,150 --> 00:50:53,760 because it needs some time in between 1312 00:50:57,670 --> 00:50:56,160 for the camera and because you'll have 1313 00:50:59,670 --> 00:50:57,680 limited data link all the way from 1314 00:51:01,670 --> 00:50:59,680 jupiter so we'll have to make decisions 1315 00:51:03,670 --> 00:51:01,680 about which pictures to take and we'll 1316 00:51:05,589 --> 00:51:03,680 get the public involved with that 1317 00:51:07,030 --> 00:51:05,599 and then when the raw data come down you 1318 00:51:09,190 --> 00:51:07,040 have to take that data and turn it into 1319 00:51:11,589 --> 00:51:09,200 good quality images and stitch things 1320 00:51:13,349 --> 00:51:11,599 together and stuff like that and we'll 1321 00:51:14,069 --> 00:51:13,359 let the public get involved with that as 1322 00:51:15,990 --> 00:51:14,079 well 1323 00:51:17,670 --> 00:51:16,000 so not only will it take really cool 1324 00:51:20,829 --> 00:51:17,680 pictures but there'll be an opportunity 1325 00:51:23,270 --> 00:51:20,839 to play with it it should be really 1326 00:51:24,870 --> 00:51:23,280 fun don't know who's got i'll let 1327 00:51:26,710 --> 00:51:24,880 whoever's got the mic should be choosing 1328 00:51:28,470 --> 00:51:26,720 whose questions yeah uh kind of an 1329 00:51:31,109 --> 00:51:28,480 engineering question could you comment 1330 00:51:32,309 --> 00:51:31,119 all on the uh how the solar panels are 1331 00:51:34,870 --> 00:51:32,319 being protected from jupiter's 1332 00:51:37,030 --> 00:51:34,880 electromagnetic fields 1333 00:51:38,470 --> 00:51:37,040 panels protected from the radiation is 1334 00:51:39,750 --> 00:51:38,480 that what you're asking 1335 00:51:41,030 --> 00:51:39,760 um 1336 00:51:42,390 --> 00:51:41,040 well the short answer is they're not 1337 00:51:43,190 --> 00:51:42,400 that protected 1338 00:51:47,910 --> 00:51:43,200 um 1339 00:51:49,270 --> 00:51:47,920 they've got a thin layer of uh cover 1340 00:51:50,870 --> 00:51:49,280 glass on them 1341 00:51:52,950 --> 00:51:50,880 they 1342 00:51:55,510 --> 00:51:52,960 we've done lots of tests to understand 1343 00:51:57,589 --> 00:51:55,520 how they will behave in the radiation 1344 00:51:59,750 --> 00:51:57,599 belts and how much degradation they'll 1345 00:52:01,670 --> 00:51:59,760 take over time and so forth so we 1346 00:52:03,510 --> 00:52:01,680 calculate how much power we're going to 1347 00:52:05,510 --> 00:52:03,520 lose and make sure that we've got enough 1348 00:52:07,109 --> 00:52:05,520 extra solar panels so that by the end of 1349 00:52:09,030 --> 00:52:07,119 the mission we still still have enough 1350 00:52:10,549 --> 00:52:09,040 power 1351 00:52:11,750 --> 00:52:10,559 you have to worry not just about the 1352 00:52:14,630 --> 00:52:11,760 radiation 1353 00:52:16,470 --> 00:52:14,640 but it's the low intensity and low 1354 00:52:18,390 --> 00:52:16,480 temperature as well 1355 00:52:19,670 --> 00:52:18,400 solar cells behave differently at lower 1356 00:52:20,790 --> 00:52:19,680 temperatures than they do at room 1357 00:52:22,390 --> 00:52:20,800 temperature 1358 00:52:24,069 --> 00:52:22,400 and they are 1359 00:52:25,589 --> 00:52:24,079 behave differently in low intensity if 1360 00:52:27,349 --> 00:52:25,599 the light's not as bright you obviously 1361 00:52:29,270 --> 00:52:27,359 get less power but the efficiency 1362 00:52:31,030 --> 00:52:29,280 changes too so we have solar panels 1363 00:52:33,430 --> 00:52:31,040 we're intending to handle that we've 1364 00:52:34,950 --> 00:52:33,440 done a lot of tests with them to try to 1365 00:52:36,390 --> 00:52:34,960 understand what the radiation will do to 1366 00:52:38,150 --> 00:52:36,400 them how they'll behave in low intensity 1367 00:52:40,230 --> 00:52:38,160 and low temperature and of course we 1368 00:52:41,510 --> 00:52:40,240 select the solar cells a bit too you 1369 00:52:42,950 --> 00:52:41,520 know you don't just go down to the store 1370 00:52:46,790 --> 00:52:42,960 buy a zillion solar cells and put them 1371 00:52:49,589 --> 00:52:46,800 on the arrays um you you go to obviously 1372 00:52:51,270 --> 00:52:49,599 lockheed did this they go to their their 1373 00:52:53,349 --> 00:52:51,280 subcontractors who can give them the 1374 00:52:55,030 --> 00:52:53,359 best solar cells and then they screen 1375 00:52:57,030 --> 00:52:55,040 them so you look through them and you 1376 00:52:58,790 --> 00:52:57,040 come up with tests to test the solar 1377 00:53:00,470 --> 00:52:58,800 cell to see how it's going to behave in 1378 00:53:02,390 --> 00:53:00,480 low intensity low temperature and 1379 00:53:05,910 --> 00:53:02,400 radiation and choose the best ones to 1380 00:53:10,069 --> 00:53:09,030 and i'm i'm looking for nasa is made up 1381 00:53:12,549 --> 00:53:10,079 of 1382 00:53:14,470 --> 00:53:12,559 amazing people that perform magic i mean 1383 00:53:16,630 --> 00:53:14,480 you guys just you know you do things 1384 00:53:19,349 --> 00:53:16,640 that nobody would ever think of but 1385 00:53:20,870 --> 00:53:19,359 at some point a decision has to be made 1386 00:53:23,829 --> 00:53:20,880 and this isn't really a juno question 1387 00:53:25,750 --> 00:53:23,839 this is kind of a spacecraft question at 1388 00:53:26,790 --> 00:53:25,760 some point a decision has to be made to 1389 00:53:28,390 --> 00:53:26,800 figure out 1390 00:53:30,230 --> 00:53:28,400 what we're going to take 1391 00:53:31,589 --> 00:53:30,240 and when you know the question the the 1392 00:53:33,829 --> 00:53:31,599 point came up earlier that you're when 1393 00:53:37,270 --> 00:53:33,839 you get to juno we're going to have 200 1394 00:53:40,470 --> 00:53:37,280 watts of power to use so 1395 00:53:42,950 --> 00:53:40,480 how do we decide what experiments 1396 00:53:44,790 --> 00:53:42,960 are are carried along and what missions 1397 00:53:46,710 --> 00:53:44,800 i mean is is there some kind of a an 1398 00:53:48,790 --> 00:53:46,720 engineering death match where people say 1399 00:53:51,430 --> 00:53:48,800 my idea is better and you know how do we 1400 00:53:54,390 --> 00:53:51,440 decide what goes to get the best bang 1401 00:53:56,230 --> 00:53:54,400 for the buck okay so i'll give you the 1402 00:53:59,190 --> 00:53:56,240 really short answer first and then i'll 1403 00:54:01,430 --> 00:53:59,200 explain okay so the really short answer 1404 00:54:02,630 --> 00:54:01,440 to a question like that is scott bolton 1405 00:54:04,710 --> 00:54:02,640 decides 1406 00:54:06,549 --> 00:54:04,720 okay but the longer answer he doesn't 1407 00:54:08,549 --> 00:54:06,559 just do that in a vacuum and make it up 1408 00:54:10,950 --> 00:54:08,559 we have a team and generally we get a 1409 00:54:13,510 --> 00:54:10,960 decision like that by consensus what 1410 00:54:15,829 --> 00:54:13,520 happens is very early on in the process 1411 00:54:17,510 --> 00:54:15,839 when we're working on the proposal 1412 00:54:19,190 --> 00:54:17,520 right we looked at what science we're 1413 00:54:21,270 --> 00:54:19,200 trying to do what nasa has said they're 1414 00:54:22,870 --> 00:54:21,280 interested in based on the decadal 1415 00:54:24,710 --> 00:54:22,880 survey and other scientists coming up 1416 00:54:26,549 --> 00:54:24,720 with what are the important questions 1417 00:54:28,390 --> 00:54:26,559 what we think we can do 1418 00:54:29,910 --> 00:54:28,400 how much power we expect to have how 1419 00:54:31,910 --> 00:54:29,920 much of all the other resources we 1420 00:54:34,470 --> 00:54:31,920 expect to have and we try to work it out 1421 00:54:35,910 --> 00:54:34,480 and get investigators involved and yeah 1422 00:54:37,270 --> 00:54:35,920 you can build an instrument a lot like 1423 00:54:38,710 --> 00:54:37,280 this one and if we do this too it'll 1424 00:54:40,950 --> 00:54:38,720 have a little less power and or if you 1425 00:54:43,030 --> 00:54:40,960 do that you can add a little more there 1426 00:54:44,630 --> 00:54:43,040 you work that out as a team 1427 00:54:46,309 --> 00:54:44,640 and come to a 1428 00:54:47,510 --> 00:54:46,319 consensus about what things are in the 1429 00:54:48,390 --> 00:54:47,520 proposal 1430 00:54:50,710 --> 00:54:48,400 then 1431 00:54:52,549 --> 00:54:50,720 after we got selected we made a few 1432 00:54:56,069 --> 00:54:52,559 changes as other things came up for 1433 00:54:57,990 --> 00:54:56,079 example um the italians weren't quite 1434 00:54:59,750 --> 00:54:58,000 able at the time of the proposal to 1435 00:55:01,430 --> 00:54:59,760 contribute an infrared 1436 00:55:03,589 --> 00:55:01,440 immagerian spectrometer but not very 1437 00:55:05,109 --> 00:55:03,599 long after the proposal they said yeah 1438 00:55:07,910 --> 00:55:05,119 we've got the funding on our side we can 1439 00:55:09,670 --> 00:55:07,920 do this and so we had a discussion 1440 00:55:11,270 --> 00:55:09,680 within the team about can we afford to 1441 00:55:12,710 --> 00:55:11,280 add them because even though they were 1442 00:55:14,789 --> 00:55:12,720 going to supply it we didn't have to pay 1443 00:55:17,109 --> 00:55:14,799 the money for it we still have to pay 1444 00:55:18,950 --> 00:55:17,119 resources on the spacecraft to supp to 1445 00:55:20,549 --> 00:55:18,960 supply it with power and a 1446 00:55:23,430 --> 00:55:20,559 place to put it and radiation shielding 1447 00:55:25,430 --> 00:55:23,440 and all that stuff right so obviously 1448 00:55:26,950 --> 00:55:25,440 it's on board the science team and 1449 00:55:28,710 --> 00:55:26,960 everybody else concluded this is really 1450 00:55:30,230 --> 00:55:28,720 worth it this is a great instrument so 1451 00:55:32,789 --> 00:55:30,240 we added it in 1452 00:55:34,870 --> 00:55:32,799 that kind of thing happens for all kinds 1453 00:55:36,789 --> 00:55:34,880 of decisions big ones like adding or 1454 00:55:39,430 --> 00:55:36,799 subtracting an instrument 1455 00:55:40,950 --> 00:55:39,440 little ones like um you know do you can 1456 00:55:43,510 --> 00:55:40,960 you put an extra cable for this thing 1457 00:55:45,750 --> 00:55:43,520 and have it be dual sided and and have a 1458 00:55:46,789 --> 00:55:45,760 little redundancy on it or 1459 00:55:48,390 --> 00:55:46,799 there were a couple of times where we 1460 00:55:51,109 --> 00:55:48,400 made the solar panels bigger and we had 1461 00:55:53,349 --> 00:55:51,119 a big internal discussion about the pros 1462 00:55:54,230 --> 00:55:53,359 and cons of making the solar panels 1463 00:55:55,829 --> 00:55:54,240 bigger 1464 00:55:58,309 --> 00:55:55,839 that kind of stuff those are called 1465 00:55:59,910 --> 00:55:58,319 engineering trade studies 1466 00:56:01,990 --> 00:55:59,920 generally speaking 1467 00:56:04,309 --> 00:56:02,000 what happens is that's handled by the 1468 00:56:06,630 --> 00:56:04,319 project system engineering team so it's 1469 00:56:09,109 --> 00:56:06,640 mostly the engineers who work out 1470 00:56:11,030 --> 00:56:09,119 what you can do and what you can't do 1471 00:56:12,789 --> 00:56:11,040 and the pros and cons and they come to 1472 00:56:14,870 --> 00:56:12,799 the science team and say how important 1473 00:56:17,589 --> 00:56:14,880 is the science you get from this and 1474 00:56:19,510 --> 00:56:17,599 they lay it all out for the team 1475 00:56:23,430 --> 00:56:19,520 we try to arrive at a consensus and if 1476 00:56:24,870 --> 00:56:23,440 there isn't a consensus scott decides 1477 00:56:28,150 --> 00:56:24,880 so we got time for two more questions 1478 00:56:29,109 --> 00:56:28,160 one of them's right here oh man already 1479 00:56:31,270 --> 00:56:29,119 hello 1480 00:56:33,190 --> 00:56:31,280 my name is lisa johnson and i happen to 1481 00:56:35,430 --> 00:56:33,200 be working on a satellite that's going 1482 00:56:37,190 --> 00:56:35,440 to be uh trying to dissipate some of the 1483 00:56:38,950 --> 00:56:37,200 high energy particles that we have here 1484 00:56:42,230 --> 00:56:38,960 in the earth's atmosphere so i was 1485 00:56:43,829 --> 00:56:42,240 curious about jupiter's auroras and how 1486 00:56:45,829 --> 00:56:43,839 do they compare to the earth because the 1487 00:56:47,829 --> 00:56:45,839 earth much closer to the sun we have a 1488 00:56:49,270 --> 00:56:47,839 lot of the solar wind particles that get 1489 00:56:50,309 --> 00:56:49,280 in that cause the great auroras that we 1490 00:56:52,150 --> 00:56:50,319 have here 1491 00:56:53,910 --> 00:56:52,160 jupiter is much farther away and it also 1492 00:56:55,910 --> 00:56:53,920 doesn't have the human contribution so 1493 00:56:57,190 --> 00:56:55,920 i'm curious what we will see on jupiter 1494 00:56:59,589 --> 00:56:57,200 and what data we're going to be 1495 00:57:00,870 --> 00:56:59,599 measuring so um 1496 00:57:02,630 --> 00:57:00,880 first of all that sounds like a really 1497 00:57:03,910 --> 00:57:02,640 cool experiment 1498 00:57:06,470 --> 00:57:03,920 but 1499 00:57:07,670 --> 00:57:06,480 the way you have to picture this is the 1500 00:57:09,510 --> 00:57:07,680 aurora 1501 00:57:11,270 --> 00:57:09,520 and here's fran baginal who is the 1502 00:57:13,670 --> 00:57:11,280 person who should answer this question 1503 00:57:16,230 --> 00:57:13,680 you want to just come do this 1504 00:57:17,670 --> 00:57:16,240 i could give you a great answer but but 1505 00:57:20,390 --> 00:57:17,680 graham is like the world's expert on 1506 00:57:21,190 --> 00:57:20,400 this okay 1507 00:57:22,950 --> 00:57:21,200 so 1508 00:57:24,230 --> 00:57:22,960 indeed uh we're going to be measuring 1509 00:57:26,950 --> 00:57:24,240 the aurora 1510 00:57:29,270 --> 00:57:26,960 and but not just looking down on the 1511 00:57:32,710 --> 00:57:29,280 aurora with um 1512 00:57:34,470 --> 00:57:32,720 the uvs and with um 1513 00:57:36,309 --> 00:57:34,480 duram and looking at the radiation of 1514 00:57:39,190 --> 00:57:36,319 the uv radiation and the infrared 1515 00:57:40,470 --> 00:57:39,200 radiation that comes from the atmosphere 1516 00:57:41,990 --> 00:57:40,480 but we're also going to be looking at 1517 00:57:44,630 --> 00:57:42,000 the particles 1518 00:57:46,710 --> 00:57:44,640 that are causing that radiation that so 1519 00:57:49,589 --> 00:57:46,720 we got a problem with radiation we we 1520 00:57:50,630 --> 00:57:49,599 sorted out radiation and radiation okay 1521 00:57:51,910 --> 00:57:50,640 so 1522 00:57:54,710 --> 00:57:51,920 we have to get 1523 00:57:56,789 --> 00:57:54,720 sort out photons which is the uv 1524 00:57:58,390 --> 00:57:56,799 particles coming out and the infrared 1525 00:58:01,270 --> 00:57:58,400 particles coming out 1526 00:58:04,230 --> 00:58:01,280 and the electrons and protons which 1527 00:58:07,910 --> 00:58:04,240 bombard the atmosphere and generate that 1528 00:58:09,430 --> 00:58:07,920 light to come out okay so uh infrared 1529 00:58:12,470 --> 00:58:09,440 and uv 1530 00:58:13,829 --> 00:58:12,480 light come out that we detect with jiram 1531 00:58:16,789 --> 00:58:13,839 and uvs 1532 00:58:18,549 --> 00:58:16,799 and that'll show us what the aurora are 1533 00:58:20,950 --> 00:58:18,559 um but also 1534 00:58:23,430 --> 00:58:20,960 we will be carrying two instruments that 1535 00:58:26,150 --> 00:58:23,440 carry measure the 1536 00:58:28,230 --> 00:58:26,160 energetic particles the jedi and jade 1537 00:58:29,589 --> 00:58:28,240 instruments that are the particles that 1538 00:58:31,750 --> 00:58:29,599 are coming in and bombarding the 1539 00:58:35,270 --> 00:58:31,760 atmosphere 1540 00:58:37,990 --> 00:58:35,280 and then on top of that we have waves 1541 00:58:39,510 --> 00:58:38,000 which measures uh electric fields and i 1542 00:58:41,750 --> 00:58:39,520 get my hands go like this because i'm 1543 00:58:44,230 --> 00:58:41,760 thinking wiggling fields right you know 1544 00:58:46,630 --> 00:58:44,240 so uh electric fields and magnetic 1545 00:58:49,270 --> 00:58:46,640 fields mag doing the magnetic fields so 1546 00:58:50,630 --> 00:58:49,280 what we think is happening is that 1547 00:58:53,990 --> 00:58:50,640 we have 1548 00:58:56,950 --> 00:58:54,000 waves in literally electromagnetic waves 1549 00:58:58,789 --> 00:58:56,960 at fairly low frequencies compared with 1550 00:59:01,190 --> 00:58:58,799 light waves 1551 00:59:03,589 --> 00:59:01,200 that scatter particles accelerate 1552 00:59:05,990 --> 00:59:03,599 particles and we think that the 1553 00:59:08,630 --> 00:59:06,000 then those accelerated particles come 1554 00:59:10,710 --> 00:59:08,640 bombarding into the atmosphere excite 1555 00:59:13,990 --> 00:59:10,720 the uh atoms and molecules in the 1556 00:59:17,270 --> 00:59:14,000 atmosphere of jupiter that then glow 1557 00:59:20,309 --> 00:59:17,280 with this infrared and uh uv radiation 1558 00:59:21,750 --> 00:59:20,319 so in some ways it's almost exactly the 1559 00:59:23,910 --> 00:59:21,760 same as the northern lights with the 1560 00:59:27,270 --> 00:59:23,920 earth where we have the same sort of 1561 00:59:29,829 --> 00:59:27,280 processes going on in the northern poles 1562 00:59:32,470 --> 00:59:29,839 and the southern poles uh producing that 1563 00:59:34,150 --> 00:59:32,480 process what we don't know and this is 1564 00:59:36,390 --> 00:59:34,160 the big difference between the earth and 1565 00:59:38,789 --> 00:59:36,400 jupiter is where 1566 00:59:41,270 --> 00:59:38,799 that acceleration process happens that 1567 00:59:44,470 --> 00:59:41,280 excites those electrons that bombard the 1568 00:59:47,589 --> 00:59:44,480 atmosphere and what are the causes 1569 00:59:48,309 --> 00:59:47,599 because with with the earth we know that 1570 00:59:52,789 --> 00:59:48,319 the 1571 00:59:54,950 --> 00:59:52,799 magnetic field wheels it about makes it 1572 00:59:56,950 --> 00:59:54,960 shake and that's what causes the 1573 00:59:58,789 --> 00:59:56,960 particles to be accelerated and then 1574 01:00:00,230 --> 00:59:58,799 ultimately hit 1575 01:00:03,190 --> 01:00:00,240 the earth's atmosphere to make the 1576 01:00:06,230 --> 01:00:03,200 aurora and so the earth's aurora very 1577 01:00:08,549 --> 01:00:06,240 strongly depends on what's going on on 1578 01:00:10,150 --> 01:00:08,559 the sun and what comes from the sun and 1579 01:00:12,870 --> 01:00:10,160 hits the earth 1580 01:00:15,990 --> 01:00:12,880 now with jupiter the magnetic field is 1581 01:00:19,990 --> 01:00:16,000 so strong that it holds off the solar 1582 01:00:22,309 --> 01:00:20,000 wind for a long way okay so at earth 1583 01:00:24,230 --> 01:00:22,319 towards the sun the solar wind 1584 01:00:26,630 --> 01:00:24,240 in the solar wind direction the earth's 1585 01:00:28,789 --> 01:00:26,640 magnetic field extends for about 10 1586 01:00:30,549 --> 01:00:28,799 times the radius of the earth so you 1587 01:00:32,470 --> 01:00:30,559 think of the earth and then something 10 1588 01:00:34,390 --> 01:00:32,480 times bigger that's the size of the 1589 01:00:36,950 --> 01:00:34,400 magnetosphere of the earth 1590 01:00:38,950 --> 01:00:36,960 with jupiter and remember that jupiter 1591 01:00:40,950 --> 01:00:38,960 is 10 times the size of the earth so you 1592 01:00:42,789 --> 01:00:40,960 could put the magnetosphere inside the 1593 01:00:44,950 --> 01:00:42,799 planet jupiter 1594 01:00:46,150 --> 01:00:44,960 the earth's magnesium within the planet 1595 01:00:50,069 --> 01:00:46,160 jupiter 1596 01:00:52,150 --> 01:00:50,079 times 1597 01:00:54,150 --> 01:00:52,160 the size of jupiter that's just in the 1598 01:00:56,230 --> 01:00:54,160 direction towards the sun in the 1599 01:00:58,309 --> 01:00:56,240 direction away from the sun it goes past 1600 01:00:59,430 --> 01:00:58,319 the orbit of saturn so this is a vast 1601 01:01:01,750 --> 01:00:59,440 region 1602 01:01:04,390 --> 01:01:01,760 so the processes are very different 1603 01:01:06,710 --> 01:01:04,400 it's not affected by the solar wind 1604 01:01:09,589 --> 01:01:06,720 it it behaves on its own due to what's 1605 01:01:12,230 --> 01:01:09,599 going on inside 1606 01:01:15,750 --> 01:01:12,240 so has anybody talked about eo and that 1607 01:01:17,109 --> 01:01:15,760 pesky little moon eo on what eo is doing 1608 01:01:21,109 --> 01:01:17,119 he won't 1609 01:01:24,309 --> 01:01:22,150 anyway 1610 01:01:26,150 --> 01:01:24,319 we can talk about pesky little eel later 1611 01:01:27,990 --> 01:01:26,160 she was asked about the size too the 1612 01:01:29,109 --> 01:01:28,000 aurora and jupiter being so much bigger 1613 01:01:30,870 --> 01:01:29,119 right i think we haven't really talked 1614 01:01:32,630 --> 01:01:30,880 about why they're bigger 1615 01:01:35,030 --> 01:01:32,640 uh when you say bigger do you mean 1616 01:01:37,510 --> 01:01:35,040 bigger as in spatially bigger or covers 1617 01:01:39,670 --> 01:01:37,520 more of the planets it's about the same 1618 01:01:42,470 --> 01:01:39,680 size on the planet if you were to draw 1619 01:01:44,710 --> 01:01:42,480 just a sphere and draw where the 1620 01:01:45,910 --> 01:01:44,720 aurora are for jupiter and where they 1621 01:01:46,950 --> 01:01:45,920 are for the earth they're not all that 1622 01:01:48,390 --> 01:01:46,960 different 1623 01:01:54,069 --> 01:01:48,400 about the same 1624 01:01:58,549 --> 01:01:55,670 i promise i'll give up the mic again 1625 01:02:00,870 --> 01:01:58,559 when i when they make me 1626 01:02:03,510 --> 01:02:00,880 question for you back here 1627 01:02:06,390 --> 01:02:03,520 yes okay it's a slightly 1628 01:02:10,470 --> 01:02:06,400 slightly less technical question where 1629 01:02:13,589 --> 01:02:12,069 am i am i allowed to mention commercial 1630 01:02:16,950 --> 01:02:13,599 companies um 1631 01:02:18,870 --> 01:02:16,960 we it turns out land lands end will do 1632 01:02:20,710 --> 01:02:18,880 they have like a business 1633 01:02:22,150 --> 01:02:20,720 uh corporate 1634 01:02:23,510 --> 01:02:22,160 section or something and if you give 1635 01:02:25,190 --> 01:02:23,520 them a logo 1636 01:02:27,750 --> 01:02:25,200 they'll make shirts 1637 01:02:29,990 --> 01:02:27,760 so um scott got this stuff and gave it 1638 01:02:31,589 --> 01:02:30,000 to them and then team members can just 1639 01:02:33,109 --> 01:02:31,599 call them up and say you know number 1640 01:02:37,109 --> 01:02:33,119 whatever i want logo number whatever on 1641 01:02:39,029 --> 01:02:37,119 my shirt and i have about 10 of these 1642 01:02:43,029 --> 01:02:39,039 but we're gonna do juno glitter tattoos 1643 01:02:57,109 --> 01:02:44,789 thank you steve really appreciate your 1644 01:03:01,750 --> 01:02:59,750 okay so for our last tweet up 1645 01:03:03,670 --> 01:03:01,760 the big challenge is it nearly turned 1646 01:03:05,109 --> 01:03:03,680 into space woodstock outside with the 1647 01:03:06,630 --> 01:03:05,119 rain and the mud 1648 01:03:08,950 --> 01:03:06,640 and i think our bonding experience is 1649 01:03:10,230 --> 01:03:08,960 going to be florida and august and i 1650 01:03:13,589 --> 01:03:10,240 know it's getting warm on this side of 1651 01:03:14,390 --> 01:03:13,599 the tent especially because the sun is 1652 01:03:18,630 --> 01:03:14,400 so 1653 01:03:20,390 --> 01:03:18,640 water find one of us in a blue badge let 1654 01:03:21,510 --> 01:03:20,400 us know that side of the tent because 1655 01:03:23,109 --> 01:03:21,520 it's a little more out of the sun is a 1656 01:03:24,230 --> 01:03:23,119 little cooler so if you need to stand up 1657 01:03:26,230 --> 01:03:24,240 go over there stand by the air 1658 01:03:27,829 --> 01:03:26,240 conditioners i understand we're gonna 1659 01:03:29,510 --> 01:03:27,839 keep moving along if you guys are still 1660 01:03:31,750 --> 01:03:29,520 in it with us 1661 01:03:34,150 --> 01:03:31,760 all right all right fantastic 1662 01:03:36,470 --> 01:03:34,160 so it's my pleasure to introduce three 1663 01:03:37,990 --> 01:03:36,480 of the juno science team members that 1664 01:03:39,430 --> 01:03:38,000 are going to be working deep down in 1665 01:03:41,349 --> 01:03:39,440 some of the scientific discoveries that 1666 01:03:43,430 --> 01:03:41,359 you know is going to enable and they are 1667 01:03:45,270 --> 01:03:43,440 toby owen professor of astronomy at the 1668 01:03:47,109 --> 01:03:45,280 university of hawaii 1669 01:03:49,829 --> 01:03:47,119 fran baganal who you all just met she's 1670 01:03:51,270 --> 01:03:49,839 professor of astro yeah please no fran 1671 01:03:52,870 --> 01:03:51,280 absolutely 1672 01:03:54,630 --> 01:03:52,880 professor of astrophysical and planetary 1673 01:03:56,950 --> 01:03:54,640 sciences and faculty associate of the 1674 01:03:59,270 --> 01:03:56,960 laboratory of atmospheric and space 1675 01:04:00,710 --> 01:03:59,280 physics at the university of colorado 1676 01:04:03,750 --> 01:04:00,720 and paul boulder 1677 01:04:05,990 --> 01:04:03,760 and dave stevenson the george van osdol 1678 01:04:07,430 --> 01:04:06,000 professor of planetary science at 1679 01:04:18,710 --> 01:04:07,440 caltech 1680 01:04:20,950 --> 01:04:19,990 so we're going to share the microphone 1681 01:04:22,150 --> 01:04:20,960 for now and i'll try to get you the 1682 01:04:23,029 --> 01:04:22,160 other two let's go whoever wants to 1683 01:04:26,150 --> 01:04:23,039 speak 1684 01:04:30,549 --> 01:04:27,670 you've already heard what i'm interested 1685 01:04:35,510 --> 01:04:30,559 in i'm going to hand the phone over to 1686 01:04:39,829 --> 01:04:37,510 so for me this 1687 01:04:42,470 --> 01:04:39,839 mission is very exciting in some 1688 01:04:43,750 --> 01:04:42,480 respects a culmination of a career 1689 01:04:46,309 --> 01:04:43,760 because 1690 01:04:47,670 --> 01:04:46,319 40 years ago when i was a student at 1691 01:04:50,390 --> 01:04:47,680 cornell 1692 01:04:54,630 --> 01:04:50,400 i embarked on a thesis the title of 1693 01:04:56,309 --> 01:04:54,640 which was the interior of jupiter 1694 01:04:58,309 --> 01:04:56,319 and now finally we're going to find out 1695 01:04:59,990 --> 01:04:58,319 the truth 1696 01:05:03,510 --> 01:05:00,000 but it's too late for them to take away 1697 01:05:08,390 --> 01:05:07,109 a planet is like a book or a movie 1698 01:05:10,309 --> 01:05:08,400 it tells a story 1699 01:05:12,549 --> 01:05:10,319 it has a plot 1700 01:05:14,309 --> 01:05:12,559 and 1701 01:05:15,430 --> 01:05:14,319 in particular 1702 01:05:18,870 --> 01:05:15,440 it 1703 01:05:20,470 --> 01:05:18,880 tells you something about history 1704 01:05:23,270 --> 01:05:20,480 when you look at a planet you're not 1705 01:05:25,750 --> 01:05:23,280 just looking at the way it behaves now 1706 01:05:28,630 --> 01:05:25,760 you're looking at the outcome 1707 01:05:30,309 --> 01:05:28,640 of an evolution over the age of the 1708 01:05:31,829 --> 01:05:30,319 solar system four and a half billion 1709 01:05:35,589 --> 01:05:31,839 years 1710 01:05:38,150 --> 01:05:35,599 and particularly in the case of jupiter 1711 01:05:40,950 --> 01:05:38,160 you are seeing 1712 01:05:42,789 --> 01:05:40,960 information about how 1713 01:05:45,829 --> 01:05:42,799 the planet formed 1714 01:05:48,470 --> 01:05:45,839 and how it has evolved 1715 01:05:50,630 --> 01:05:48,480 and jupiter is the 800 pound gorilla in 1716 01:05:52,549 --> 01:05:50,640 the solar system it 1717 01:05:56,870 --> 01:05:52,559 has affected 1718 01:05:59,510 --> 01:05:56,880 the architecture of our planetary system 1719 01:06:00,630 --> 01:05:59,520 it has even affected 1720 01:06:03,190 --> 01:06:00,640 earth 1721 01:06:05,190 --> 01:06:03,200 the water that i hope you're drinking 1722 01:06:07,510 --> 01:06:05,200 very likely came 1723 01:06:10,309 --> 01:06:07,520 from a region near jupiter 1724 01:06:12,789 --> 01:06:10,319 and the way in which it was delivered 1725 01:06:14,150 --> 01:06:12,799 is affected by the way in which jupiter 1726 01:06:15,670 --> 01:06:14,160 is formed 1727 01:06:16,950 --> 01:06:15,680 and that 1728 01:06:19,190 --> 01:06:16,960 process 1729 01:06:20,470 --> 01:06:19,200 of formation 1730 01:06:22,950 --> 01:06:20,480 is 1731 01:06:24,549 --> 01:06:22,960 there as a memory in the internal 1732 01:06:26,950 --> 01:06:24,559 structure 1733 01:06:29,430 --> 01:06:26,960 one of the central questions of the juno 1734 01:06:30,309 --> 01:06:29,440 mission is to understand whether there 1735 01:06:32,789 --> 01:06:30,319 is 1736 01:06:35,829 --> 01:06:32,799 a central concentration of heavy 1737 01:06:36,710 --> 01:06:35,839 elements that scott bolton talked about 1738 01:06:38,789 --> 01:06:36,720 uh 1739 01:06:39,829 --> 01:06:38,799 material that on earth would make up a 1740 01:06:41,270 --> 01:06:39,839 rock 1741 01:06:43,589 --> 01:06:41,280 maybe ice 1742 01:06:46,710 --> 01:06:43,599 the amount of that material 1743 01:06:47,589 --> 01:06:46,720 the way in which it's distributed 1744 01:06:50,870 --> 01:06:47,599 is 1745 01:06:53,109 --> 01:06:50,880 a legacy of the formation process 1746 01:06:53,829 --> 01:06:53,119 of the planet 1747 01:06:58,230 --> 01:06:53,839 so 1748 01:07:00,870 --> 01:06:58,240 the place you look 1749 01:07:02,630 --> 01:07:00,880 to understand these processes is jupiter 1750 01:07:05,910 --> 01:07:02,640 because jupiter is the most massive 1751 01:07:07,349 --> 01:07:05,920 planet you might also say uh let's look 1752 01:07:10,950 --> 01:07:07,359 at the earth and people do look at the 1753 01:07:12,069 --> 01:07:10,960 earth but the nature of earth itself is 1754 01:07:12,950 --> 01:07:12,079 affected 1755 01:07:15,910 --> 01:07:12,960 by 1756 01:07:18,230 --> 01:07:15,920 uh the structure 1757 01:07:19,190 --> 01:07:18,240 of jupiter 1758 01:07:21,910 --> 01:07:19,200 so 1759 01:07:23,349 --> 01:07:21,920 the exciting thing about this mission is 1760 01:07:24,390 --> 01:07:23,359 that it will 1761 01:07:26,470 --> 01:07:24,400 bring 1762 01:07:27,829 --> 01:07:26,480 three important things that scott bolton 1763 01:07:30,789 --> 01:07:27,839 mentioned 1764 01:07:32,470 --> 01:07:30,799 to bear on this question water water is 1765 01:07:34,470 --> 01:07:32,480 extremely important toby will say 1766 01:07:36,309 --> 01:07:34,480 something about that as well 1767 01:07:38,870 --> 01:07:36,319 the amount of water 1768 01:07:40,829 --> 01:07:38,880 the origin of that water 1769 01:07:44,230 --> 01:07:40,839 is is of central importance for 1770 01:07:45,910 --> 01:07:44,240 understanding the nature of jupiter 1771 01:07:47,349 --> 01:07:45,920 the gravity field which will tell us 1772 01:07:48,549 --> 01:07:47,359 something about how the materials are 1773 01:07:50,309 --> 01:07:48,559 distributed 1774 01:07:52,390 --> 01:07:50,319 and the magnetic field 1775 01:07:55,589 --> 01:07:52,400 now i want to say a few more words about 1776 01:07:57,589 --> 01:07:55,599 the gravity field of the magnetic field 1777 01:07:59,829 --> 01:07:57,599 the the gravity field of course is 1778 01:08:01,990 --> 01:07:59,839 determined by 1779 01:08:04,470 --> 01:08:02,000 looking at the trajectory of the 1780 01:08:05,910 --> 01:08:04,480 spacecraft which will be slightly 1781 01:08:06,870 --> 01:08:05,920 disturbed 1782 01:08:09,190 --> 01:08:06,880 by 1783 01:08:12,150 --> 01:08:09,200 the distribution of mass within the 1784 01:08:14,630 --> 01:08:12,160 planet as it goes around in its orbit 1785 01:08:16,789 --> 01:08:14,640 the the orbit will be ever so slightly 1786 01:08:19,590 --> 01:08:16,799 modified and that will show up in the 1787 01:08:22,229 --> 01:08:19,600 doppler signal that comes back to earth 1788 01:08:23,349 --> 01:08:22,239 and in addition to learning 1789 01:08:24,550 --> 01:08:23,359 about 1790 01:08:27,269 --> 01:08:24,560 the 1791 01:08:29,910 --> 01:08:27,279 central concentration of matter 1792 01:08:31,669 --> 01:08:29,920 the gravity field has the exciting 1793 01:08:33,590 --> 01:08:31,679 prospect of telling us about some 1794 01:08:34,709 --> 01:08:33,600 aspects of the outer part of the planet 1795 01:08:35,669 --> 01:08:34,719 as well 1796 01:08:38,390 --> 01:08:35,679 it may 1797 01:08:42,149 --> 01:08:38,400 amazingly enough actually tell us 1798 01:08:43,990 --> 01:08:42,159 something about the nature of the winds 1799 01:08:48,950 --> 01:08:44,000 on jupiter 1800 01:08:50,789 --> 01:08:48,960 zonal winds 1801 01:08:52,229 --> 01:08:50,799 there's an equatorial jet and more 1802 01:08:53,669 --> 01:08:52,239 complicated structure at higher 1803 01:08:55,349 --> 01:08:53,679 latitudes 1804 01:08:57,749 --> 01:08:55,359 and those winds 1805 01:08:58,950 --> 01:08:57,759 change the shape 1806 01:09:02,070 --> 01:08:58,960 of jupiter 1807 01:09:03,910 --> 01:09:02,080 and thereby change the gravity field and 1808 01:09:06,470 --> 01:09:03,920 we hope to pick that up and that will be 1809 01:09:08,950 --> 01:09:06,480 exciting because there's a possibility 1810 01:09:11,510 --> 01:09:08,960 of learning about the depth to which 1811 01:09:13,510 --> 01:09:11,520 those flows extend at the moment that's 1812 01:09:15,829 --> 01:09:13,520 a total mystery 1813 01:09:17,590 --> 01:09:15,839 with the magnetic field as scott bolden 1814 01:09:20,870 --> 01:09:17,600 mentioned 1815 01:09:23,110 --> 01:09:20,880 there is the prospect of learning about 1816 01:09:25,590 --> 01:09:23,120 the nature of how magnetic fields 1817 01:09:28,070 --> 01:09:25,600 generated within planets to a greater 1818 01:09:30,709 --> 01:09:28,080 extent even than earth 1819 01:09:32,630 --> 01:09:30,719 because on earth we have the problem 1820 01:09:36,070 --> 01:09:32,640 that the measurements we make at earth's 1821 01:09:39,590 --> 01:09:36,080 surface or in space are affected by the 1822 01:09:43,510 --> 01:09:39,600 presence of magnetization in the crust 1823 01:09:45,829 --> 01:09:43,520 jupiter has no crust it has a region of 1824 01:09:48,229 --> 01:09:45,839 metallic conduction that extends out to 1825 01:09:51,269 --> 01:09:48,239 perhaps 80 percent of the radius of the 1826 01:09:53,990 --> 01:09:51,279 planet and within that fluid 1827 01:09:56,310 --> 01:09:54,000 the field is being generated by a dynamo 1828 01:09:59,910 --> 01:09:56,320 process like that in earth's core we 1829 01:10:01,910 --> 01:09:59,920 would like to understand uh that process 1830 01:10:03,510 --> 01:10:01,920 better 1831 01:10:06,229 --> 01:10:03,520 now 1832 01:10:08,709 --> 01:10:06,239 i want finally to make a general comment 1833 01:10:10,790 --> 01:10:08,719 about planetary exploration people often 1834 01:10:14,229 --> 01:10:10,800 say well what's the most important thing 1835 01:10:16,709 --> 01:10:14,239 that a mission is going to do 1836 01:10:18,870 --> 01:10:16,719 and my answer to that question is the 1837 01:10:20,950 --> 01:10:18,880 most important thing is the things we 1838 01:10:23,990 --> 01:10:20,960 cannot predict 1839 01:10:26,149 --> 01:10:24,000 for indeed if you look back at previous 1840 01:10:28,149 --> 01:10:26,159 missions if you look back at what 1841 01:10:30,310 --> 01:10:28,159 voyager did 1842 01:10:32,070 --> 01:10:30,320 arguably the most successful mission 1843 01:10:33,990 --> 01:10:32,080 ever the outer solar system two 1844 01:10:35,669 --> 01:10:34,000 spacecraft or if you look at what 1845 01:10:39,350 --> 01:10:35,679 galileo did or if you look at what 1846 01:10:41,750 --> 01:10:39,360 cassini is doing the most important most 1847 01:10:44,709 --> 01:10:41,760 exciting things that came out of those 1848 01:10:45,910 --> 01:10:44,719 missions were the things that we did not 1849 01:10:48,070 --> 01:10:45,920 predict 1850 01:10:50,149 --> 01:10:48,080 and i think that will be the case which 1851 01:10:51,510 --> 01:10:50,159 you know as well the most exciting 1852 01:10:54,709 --> 01:10:51,520 things that will come out of this 1853 01:10:59,030 --> 01:10:54,719 mission are the things that i 1854 01:11:02,229 --> 01:10:59,040 and nobody else on the team can predict 1855 01:11:03,669 --> 01:11:02,239 let me uh toby 1856 01:11:06,149 --> 01:11:03,679 you want to talk for a while maybe you 1857 01:11:08,229 --> 01:11:06,159 want to answer questions or 1858 01:11:10,709 --> 01:11:08,239 we could do questions as a group or i 1859 01:11:13,669 --> 01:11:10,719 could answer questions right now yes 1860 01:11:14,950 --> 01:11:13,679 any questions 1861 01:11:17,270 --> 01:11:14,960 okay we got a question over here on your 1862 01:11:21,350 --> 01:11:19,590 um hi i'm kat robinson from tucson 1863 01:11:23,750 --> 01:11:21,360 arizona i have kind of a question for 1864 01:11:25,510 --> 01:11:23,760 all of you i think one thing that's been 1865 01:11:26,950 --> 01:11:25,520 mentioned several times here is the 1866 01:11:28,870 --> 01:11:26,960 important of getting the younger 1867 01:11:31,590 --> 01:11:28,880 generation invested in space and space 1868 01:11:33,350 --> 01:11:31,600 exploration so just wondering what was 1869 01:11:35,590 --> 01:11:33,360 it that got each of you hooked into 1870 01:11:38,550 --> 01:11:35,600 space and what led you to be on this 1871 01:11:42,950 --> 01:11:40,870 in my personal case i went to cornell 1872 01:11:45,270 --> 01:11:42,960 and i went there intending to be a 1873 01:11:47,510 --> 01:11:45,280 theoretical physicist in fact my phd is 1874 01:11:50,470 --> 01:11:47,520 in theoretical physics but i did take a 1875 01:11:52,630 --> 01:11:50,480 course from carl sagan uh and and he was 1876 01:11:55,030 --> 01:11:52,640 an important influence there were other 1877 01:11:56,149 --> 01:11:55,040 influences as well but it was to be 1878 01:12:00,470 --> 01:11:56,159 frank 1879 01:12:04,790 --> 01:12:01,830 okay next question is going to be here 1880 01:12:09,430 --> 01:12:07,510 hi uh maurice jones from los angeles uh 1881 01:12:12,070 --> 01:12:09,440 over the past few years we've had the 1882 01:12:13,270 --> 01:12:12,080 serendipitous opportunity to see jupiter 1883 01:12:16,390 --> 01:12:13,280 get whacked 1884 01:12:17,990 --> 01:12:16,400 by uh asteroids or comets and we've seen 1885 01:12:21,669 --> 01:12:18,000 those scar impacts and what i wanted to 1886 01:12:24,149 --> 01:12:21,679 know is if those uh if those events as 1887 01:12:26,229 --> 01:12:24,159 unpredicted as they were or we saw 1888 01:12:28,229 --> 01:12:26,239 shoemaker lee becoming 1889 01:12:30,070 --> 01:12:28,239 if what those might have contributed to 1890 01:12:33,270 --> 01:12:30,080 what we know about the interior of 1891 01:12:39,430 --> 01:12:36,870 it turns out that in the impact 1892 01:12:42,550 --> 01:12:39,440 of shoemaker levy 1893 01:12:44,550 --> 01:12:42,560 the material that was excited was very 1894 01:12:46,390 --> 01:12:44,560 close to the surface of the planet very 1895 01:12:49,189 --> 01:12:46,400 close to the region that we can observe 1896 01:12:51,110 --> 01:12:49,199 from earth and so although some of us 1897 01:12:52,470 --> 01:12:51,120 thought that you would learn about the 1898 01:12:55,590 --> 01:12:52,480 interior 1899 01:12:58,390 --> 01:12:55,600 fact unfortunately those impacts did not 1900 01:13:00,550 --> 01:12:58,400 tell us about that it did tell us 1901 01:13:02,950 --> 01:13:00,560 some important things about 1902 01:13:03,750 --> 01:13:02,960 waves in the atmosphere 1903 01:13:06,149 --> 01:13:03,760 and 1904 01:13:16,070 --> 01:13:06,159 so some important things about what 1905 01:13:19,910 --> 01:13:18,630 hi elissa frankel washington dc 1906 01:13:21,430 --> 01:13:19,920 um i know there's a lot that we don't 1907 01:13:24,390 --> 01:13:21,440 know yet not that we're hoping to find 1908 01:13:27,110 --> 01:13:24,400 out in five years about this whole 1909 01:13:28,790 --> 01:13:27,120 core of jupiter um but what did you 1910 01:13:29,510 --> 01:13:28,800 write about in your thesis concerning 1911 01:13:30,950 --> 01:13:29,520 that 1912 01:13:35,590 --> 01:13:30,960 what what did you write about in your 1913 01:13:39,910 --> 01:13:37,669 in my thesis work 1914 01:13:41,669 --> 01:13:39,920 the main thing i actually looked at was 1915 01:13:42,550 --> 01:13:41,679 the question of whether there is helium 1916 01:13:43,750 --> 01:13:42,560 brain 1917 01:13:45,750 --> 01:13:43,760 in jupiter 1918 01:13:47,830 --> 01:13:45,760 and it now seems likely that the answer 1919 01:13:49,910 --> 01:13:47,840 is yes 1920 01:13:52,950 --> 01:13:49,920 and and that has been an exciting 1921 01:13:55,750 --> 01:13:52,960 outcome over over many years 1922 01:13:58,709 --> 01:13:55,760 because it turns out that that 1923 01:14:01,110 --> 01:13:58,719 process of forming droplets deep down 1924 01:14:04,790 --> 01:14:01,120 inside jupiter also affects 1925 01:14:07,669 --> 01:14:04,800 other noble gases especially neon 1926 01:14:10,550 --> 01:14:07,679 and it it may also be an important 1927 01:14:12,229 --> 01:14:10,560 energy source for the heat that comes 1928 01:14:19,189 --> 01:14:12,239 out of saturn 1929 01:14:19,199 --> 01:14:24,470 we got a question here in the back 1930 01:14:27,510 --> 01:14:26,550 hi my name is bj price i'm from orlando 1931 01:14:29,750 --> 01:14:27,520 florida 1932 01:14:31,669 --> 01:14:29,760 i wanted to ask you about what's it like 1933 01:14:34,149 --> 01:14:31,679 to work on a project that's so long in 1934 01:14:36,470 --> 01:14:34,159 the making and so long from 1935 01:14:38,630 --> 01:14:36,480 10 years to to develop another six years 1936 01:14:40,550 --> 01:14:38,640 before you're going to see any data 1937 01:14:43,189 --> 01:14:40,560 it's a it's an incredible investment of 1938 01:14:44,709 --> 01:14:43,199 time just to get your experiments to 1939 01:14:46,390 --> 01:14:44,719 work and to get some data back what's it 1940 01:14:49,750 --> 01:14:46,400 like working on an experiment of that 1941 01:14:52,149 --> 01:14:50,630 you know 1942 01:14:54,070 --> 01:14:52,159 there's an interesting thing about that 1943 01:14:57,030 --> 01:14:54,080 very long time scale when i first got 1944 01:14:58,070 --> 01:14:57,040 involved in this mission i had a mindset 1945 01:14:59,669 --> 01:14:58,080 that 1946 01:15:01,590 --> 01:14:59,679 i didn't want to be involved in missions 1947 01:15:04,870 --> 01:15:01,600 i was just happily 1948 01:15:06,790 --> 01:15:04,880 sitting in my ivory tower doing science 1949 01:15:09,030 --> 01:15:06,800 but i have found involvement in the 1950 01:15:10,470 --> 01:15:09,040 mission even over this very long period 1951 01:15:12,470 --> 01:15:10,480 of time 1952 01:15:15,110 --> 01:15:12,480 an extremely fruitful 1953 01:15:19,110 --> 01:15:15,120 stimulation for learning about new 1954 01:15:20,550 --> 01:15:19,120 science and so in fact even though 1955 01:15:23,430 --> 01:15:20,560 data are not going to come back until 1956 01:15:26,070 --> 01:15:23,440 2016 i can assure you we will be working 1957 01:15:27,110 --> 01:15:26,080 hard during that intervening period to 1958 01:15:29,030 --> 01:15:27,120 prepare 1959 01:15:32,070 --> 01:15:29,040 for the results of course some of the 1960 01:15:35,350 --> 01:15:32,080 results will be unexpected as i said um 1961 01:15:36,870 --> 01:15:35,360 but but the the there's it's not as if 1962 01:15:39,990 --> 01:15:36,880 we're sitting around twiddling our 1963 01:15:43,430 --> 01:15:41,430 we have a question here on your right 1964 01:15:45,750 --> 01:15:43,440 folks 1965 01:15:47,750 --> 01:15:45,760 i have to say that that juno takes a 1966 01:15:49,830 --> 01:15:47,760 long time but it's nothing like as long 1967 01:15:51,590 --> 01:15:49,840 as new horizons 1968 01:15:53,990 --> 01:15:51,600 he started working on the pluto mission 1969 01:15:57,189 --> 01:15:54,000 in 1989 1970 01:15:59,669 --> 01:15:57,199 for juneau and uh which we're only 1971 01:16:03,510 --> 01:15:59,679 halfway there and we launched uh in 1972 01:16:05,270 --> 01:16:03,520 2006. so you know 1973 01:16:07,110 --> 01:16:05,280 there are there are long missions a lot 1974 01:16:09,430 --> 01:16:07,120 really long missions 1975 01:16:11,510 --> 01:16:09,440 similarly voyager i started working on 1976 01:16:15,430 --> 01:16:11,520 voyager as a graduate student 1977 01:16:18,390 --> 01:16:15,440 and uh you know it went to uh duke went 1978 01:16:20,950 --> 01:16:18,400 past jupiter in 79 and and uh 1979 01:16:24,149 --> 01:16:20,960 finally went past neptune in in 89 is 1980 01:16:25,350 --> 01:16:24,159 still going so yeah there's 1981 01:16:27,750 --> 01:16:25,360 there's there's missions and there's 1982 01:16:29,430 --> 01:16:27,760 missions and uh we'll also as we did 1983 01:16:32,149 --> 01:16:29,440 with new horizons take some data along 1984 01:16:34,630 --> 01:16:32,159 the way to test out the instruments 1985 01:16:36,390 --> 01:16:34,640 uh and we'll prepare and be ready for 1986 01:16:38,470 --> 01:16:36,400 when we get there well one of the key 1987 01:16:41,030 --> 01:16:38,480 things that we do have to do is to 1988 01:16:43,990 --> 01:16:41,040 document what we're doing very carefully 1989 01:16:46,390 --> 01:16:44,000 and train uh young people to be 1990 01:16:48,709 --> 01:16:46,400 ready so we have to anticipate the fact 1991 01:16:50,149 --> 01:16:48,719 that there will be turnover in personnel 1992 01:16:52,390 --> 01:16:50,159 between the beginning and the end of the 1993 01:16:53,510 --> 01:16:52,400 mission yeah good point 1994 01:16:55,830 --> 01:16:53,520 okay we have a question here on the 1995 01:17:00,149 --> 01:16:58,390 hello laurel ann whitlock from orlando i 1996 01:17:01,830 --> 01:17:00,159 was just wondering i believe it's 33 1997 01:17:04,950 --> 01:17:01,840 orbits that juno is going to make is 1998 01:17:07,189 --> 01:17:04,960 that the right number uh 1999 01:17:10,630 --> 01:17:07,199 if all goes well the spacecraft will 2000 01:17:13,270 --> 01:17:10,640 make 33 orbits it'll pass jupiter 33 2001 01:17:15,990 --> 01:17:13,280 times yes why is that the number that 2002 01:17:18,709 --> 01:17:16,000 they're going for well um it has to do 2003 01:17:20,790 --> 01:17:18,719 with those pesky radiation belts because 2004 01:17:23,430 --> 01:17:20,800 what happens is um 2005 01:17:25,270 --> 01:17:23,440 the orbit starts off very nice and 2006 01:17:27,990 --> 01:17:25,280 elliptical with going pretty much 2007 01:17:30,070 --> 01:17:28,000 crossing the equator out at 40 times 2008 01:17:31,110 --> 01:17:30,080 jupiter's radius and then skimming over 2009 01:17:33,110 --> 01:17:31,120 the clouds 2010 01:17:35,990 --> 01:17:33,120 and then what happens because of the 2011 01:17:38,470 --> 01:17:36,000 fact that jupiter isn't perfectly round 2012 01:17:39,510 --> 01:17:38,480 it's fat in its equator because of the 2013 01:17:41,990 --> 01:17:39,520 spin 2014 01:17:44,790 --> 01:17:42,000 what that does is it makes the orbit um 2015 01:17:47,910 --> 01:17:44,800 begin to process so it goes from being 2016 01:17:49,669 --> 01:17:47,920 oriented in the equator to dipping down 2017 01:17:52,070 --> 01:17:49,679 and then that means that this part of 2018 01:17:53,830 --> 01:17:52,080 the orbit begins to dip into those 2019 01:17:56,630 --> 01:17:53,840 radiation belts that are very close to 2020 01:17:58,870 --> 01:17:56,640 the planet so we have a sense of 2021 01:18:00,630 --> 01:17:58,880 how long it will the spacecraft can 2022 01:18:02,709 --> 01:18:00,640 realistically survive without being 2023 01:18:05,830 --> 01:18:02,719 attacked by those radiation belts the 2024 01:18:07,669 --> 01:18:05,840 instruments being affected and so um we 2025 01:18:09,990 --> 01:18:07,679 anticipate that at some point we'll have 2026 01:18:11,510 --> 01:18:10,000 to send it into jupiter and the point of 2027 01:18:13,830 --> 01:18:11,520 course is we have to send it into 2028 01:18:15,430 --> 01:18:13,840 jupiter so that it doesn't hit europa 2029 01:18:18,630 --> 01:18:15,440 and you all know why we mustn't hit 2030 01:18:26,229 --> 01:18:20,070 okay we're gonna do a quick mic switch 2031 01:18:26,239 --> 01:18:30,709 next question's back here in the back 2032 01:18:34,709 --> 01:18:32,310 hi uh tony rice from raleigh north 2033 01:18:36,550 --> 01:18:34,719 carolina i had a question i was hoping 2034 01:18:38,149 --> 01:18:36,560 for anybody up there could you compare 2035 01:18:39,669 --> 01:18:38,159 and contrast the kind of science that 2036 01:18:42,470 --> 01:18:39,679 you're expecting to get 2037 01:18:43,510 --> 01:18:42,480 both on orbit versus during that d orbit 2038 01:18:48,550 --> 01:18:43,520 what are you expecting to get during 2039 01:18:53,750 --> 01:18:51,510 during the d orbit um 2040 01:18:55,510 --> 01:18:53,760 will happen very quickly so basically 2041 01:18:57,590 --> 01:18:55,520 it'll be exactly the same as the other 2042 01:19:00,229 --> 01:18:57,600 orbits but 2043 01:19:01,430 --> 01:19:00,239 dive into the clouds and into the planet 2044 01:19:02,870 --> 01:19:01,440 i don't know how much data we're 2045 01:19:04,950 --> 01:19:02,880 actually going to get we will keep the 2046 01:19:07,510 --> 01:19:04,960 particle data and the magnetic field 2047 01:19:08,550 --> 01:19:07,520 data going instruments going but i don't 2048 01:19:11,590 --> 01:19:08,560 think we're going to get anything 2049 01:19:12,790 --> 01:19:11,600 particularly new um compared with the 2050 01:19:15,590 --> 01:19:12,800 ones that were 2051 01:19:16,709 --> 01:19:15,600 just not hitting the planet as it were 2052 01:19:19,030 --> 01:19:16,719 um so 2053 01:19:20,550 --> 01:19:19,040 we just want to get there get into orbit 2054 01:19:21,350 --> 01:19:20,560 get a few orbits and then we'll worry 2055 01:19:24,070 --> 01:19:21,360 about 2056 01:19:29,750 --> 01:19:26,149 who knows it may be that the radiation 2057 01:19:31,669 --> 01:19:29,760 is not as bad and we can last longer 2058 01:19:34,149 --> 01:19:31,679 we got new batteries now so hopefully 2059 01:19:35,990 --> 01:19:34,159 it'll stop cutting out 2060 01:19:37,750 --> 01:19:36,000 hi i'm stephanie lee from minneapolis 2061 01:19:39,590 --> 01:19:37,760 minnesota and i'm just curious what 2062 01:19:41,830 --> 01:19:39,600 happens from launch when it goes 2063 01:19:43,510 --> 01:19:41,840 successful on to jupiter you said you 2064 01:19:44,950 --> 01:19:43,520 test some of the machines but what else 2065 01:19:48,310 --> 01:19:44,960 happens 2066 01:19:49,510 --> 01:19:48,320 um well we have to do some maneuvers so 2067 01:19:51,430 --> 01:19:49,520 um 2068 01:19:53,110 --> 01:19:51,440 we have to uh first of all we have to 2069 01:19:54,470 --> 01:19:53,120 get it out of earth orbit and so we're 2070 01:19:57,030 --> 01:19:54,480 going to do that by 2071 01:19:59,030 --> 01:19:57,040 firing uh one of the um the rocket will 2072 01:20:01,030 --> 01:19:59,040 get us out of orbit then we go out and 2073 01:20:02,550 --> 01:20:01,040 we go out past the asteroid belt and 2074 01:20:03,430 --> 01:20:02,560 come back again and rendezvous with 2075 01:20:06,149 --> 01:20:03,440 earth 2076 01:20:08,229 --> 01:20:06,159 and we use that primarily to get a a 2077 01:20:09,990 --> 01:20:08,239 kick a gravity kick that will get us to 2078 01:20:11,110 --> 01:20:10,000 jupiter faster 2079 01:20:13,750 --> 01:20:11,120 but the other 2080 01:20:15,189 --> 01:20:13,760 purpose um is that we're going to 2081 01:20:17,110 --> 01:20:15,199 sneakily 2082 01:20:19,189 --> 01:20:17,120 jan chodes isn't here right the project 2083 01:20:20,550 --> 01:20:19,199 manager oh she is 2084 01:20:22,550 --> 01:20:20,560 so we're going to test out the 2085 01:20:24,870 --> 01:20:22,560 instruments by doing a little science 2086 01:20:28,470 --> 01:20:24,880 along the way 2087 01:20:30,310 --> 01:20:28,480 so as we fly by uh earth we'll turn on 2088 01:20:33,350 --> 01:20:30,320 the instruments uh we'll take some 2089 01:20:34,950 --> 01:20:33,360 pictures we'll test out the various 2090 01:20:36,070 --> 01:20:34,960 modes of operation 2091 01:20:37,910 --> 01:20:36,080 and 2092 01:20:40,870 --> 01:20:37,920 we'll make some measurements along the 2093 01:20:43,189 --> 01:20:40,880 way and then once we go past 2094 01:20:45,030 --> 01:20:43,199 earth we leave after that gravity kick 2095 01:20:46,870 --> 01:20:45,040 we'll do you know along the way we'll 2096 01:20:47,910 --> 01:20:46,880 see we'll check we're on we're going in 2097 01:20:50,550 --> 01:20:47,920 the right direction and we're getting 2098 01:20:52,950 --> 01:20:50,560 there everything's okay um and then as 2099 01:20:55,110 --> 01:20:52,960 we approach jupiter we'll begin to make 2100 01:20:57,430 --> 01:20:55,120 a whole bunch of observations 2101 01:21:00,470 --> 01:20:57,440 anticipating getting an idea of how 2102 01:21:03,030 --> 01:21:00,480 jupiter's behaving um we'll be using the 2103 01:21:04,629 --> 01:21:03,040 uvs and the gram to do that as well as 2104 01:21:06,870 --> 01:21:04,639 the particle instruments the wave 2105 01:21:09,590 --> 01:21:06,880 instruments and the magnetic field 2106 01:21:12,149 --> 01:21:09,600 and for me it just happens to provide a 2107 01:21:14,629 --> 01:21:12,159 really exciting opportunity because that 2108 01:21:16,870 --> 01:21:14,639 capture orbit which is a very long orbit 2109 01:21:19,669 --> 01:21:16,880 which will be on the dawn side of 2110 01:21:21,590 --> 01:21:19,679 jupiter's magnetosphere will measure 2111 01:21:24,149 --> 01:21:21,600 the magnetosphere responding to the 2112 01:21:26,790 --> 01:21:24,159 solar wind so the magnetosphere goes in 2113 01:21:29,270 --> 01:21:26,800 and out by about a factor of two due to 2114 01:21:31,590 --> 01:21:29,280 the solar wind going by and we'll be out 2115 01:21:33,430 --> 01:21:31,600 there measuring that effect and looking 2116 01:21:35,430 --> 01:21:33,440 at the aurora at the same time so it's 2117 01:21:37,590 --> 01:21:35,440 actually a unique opportunity and then 2118 01:21:40,310 --> 01:21:37,600 we get into captured into close orbit 2119 01:21:41,669 --> 01:21:40,320 and do all the regular science orbits 2120 01:21:44,070 --> 01:21:41,679 okay another question in the back on the 2121 01:21:46,310 --> 01:21:44,080 left here 2122 01:21:48,229 --> 01:21:46,320 hi uh sean cowan from hicksville ohio 2123 01:21:50,229 --> 01:21:48,239 yes you all know it's a real town 2124 01:21:52,310 --> 01:21:50,239 uh question is now that we've had a 2125 01:21:54,149 --> 01:21:52,320 chance to kind of all of us collectively 2126 01:21:54,950 --> 01:21:54,159 be in the social media fishbowl if you 2127 01:21:57,030 --> 01:21:54,960 will 2128 01:21:59,189 --> 01:21:57,040 how do you feel social media has 2129 01:22:01,830 --> 01:21:59,199 impacted your particular mission with 2130 01:22:03,990 --> 01:22:01,840 having this juno tweet up uh and then 2131 01:22:05,750 --> 01:22:04,000 social media in general a second part 2132 01:22:08,870 --> 01:22:05,760 would be how do you feel it may 2133 01:22:10,629 --> 01:22:08,880 impact future missions coming out 2134 01:22:12,390 --> 01:22:10,639 well 2135 01:22:14,070 --> 01:22:12,400 to be honest with you very few in the 2136 01:22:17,910 --> 01:22:14,080 science team 2137 01:22:20,629 --> 01:22:17,920 tweet i've never tweeted in my life okay 2138 01:22:22,709 --> 01:22:20,639 i barely use a cell phone and i suspect 2139 01:22:24,870 --> 01:22:22,719 we're all a bit that way 2140 01:22:27,030 --> 01:22:24,880 but what i think is extremely exciting 2141 01:22:28,870 --> 01:22:27,040 is that you're all here 2142 01:22:30,629 --> 01:22:28,880 we haven't we didn't have this with new 2143 01:22:31,750 --> 01:22:30,639 horizons we didn't have this with other 2144 01:22:33,830 --> 01:22:31,760 missions that i was involved we 2145 01:22:35,990 --> 01:22:33,840 certainly didn't have this with voyager 2146 01:22:38,550 --> 01:22:36,000 so i think this is fantastic 2147 01:22:40,149 --> 01:22:38,560 radio shows were all very good tv was 2148 01:22:42,229 --> 01:22:40,159 all very good but this is a way in which 2149 01:22:43,750 --> 01:22:42,239 it's getting out there quick and fast 2150 01:22:45,350 --> 01:22:43,760 you know if i need some information 2151 01:22:47,750 --> 01:22:45,360 about the juno mission 2152 01:22:49,189 --> 01:22:47,760 i go to youtube i have to say because i 2153 01:22:51,270 --> 01:22:49,199 know it's there 2154 01:22:52,550 --> 01:22:51,280 um so i think it is making a difference 2155 01:22:54,470 --> 01:22:52,560 now it's making a big difference for 2156 01:22:56,950 --> 01:22:54,480 teaching and i we all teach we're the 2157 01:22:58,709 --> 01:22:56,960 three of us here are all teachers and we 2158 01:23:01,110 --> 01:22:58,719 teach the university and it's making a 2159 01:23:02,790 --> 01:23:01,120 huge difference we can get access to 2160 01:23:04,550 --> 01:23:02,800 materials and we can get it out and get 2161 01:23:06,550 --> 01:23:04,560 it at the students 2162 01:23:08,790 --> 01:23:06,560 but i also have to say it's been kind of 2163 01:23:09,910 --> 01:23:08,800 interesting i uh took some pictures of 2164 01:23:11,430 --> 01:23:09,920 you all 2165 01:23:15,189 --> 01:23:11,440 because um 2166 01:23:18,070 --> 01:23:15,199 this is a bit like one of my classrooms 2167 01:23:19,510 --> 01:23:18,080 and um there's a huge debate amongst us 2168 01:23:22,070 --> 01:23:19,520 teachers 2169 01:23:24,470 --> 01:23:22,080 why do we bother to be here 2170 01:23:27,510 --> 01:23:24,480 if you guys are all out there doing your 2171 01:23:29,510 --> 01:23:27,520 stuff out there and so um 2172 01:23:32,149 --> 01:23:29,520 there's an interesting question about 2173 01:23:33,110 --> 01:23:32,159 where we're going in terms of use of 2174 01:23:35,030 --> 01:23:33,120 this 2175 01:23:37,270 --> 01:23:35,040 and what worries me i'll be quite honest 2176 01:23:39,830 --> 01:23:37,280 with you is attention span 2177 01:23:41,750 --> 01:23:39,840 and i worry about deep thinking and deep 2178 01:23:43,110 --> 01:23:41,760 reading and deep understanding and 2179 01:23:46,229 --> 01:23:43,120 absorption 2180 01:23:47,430 --> 01:23:46,239 and if things move a bit too fast quick 2181 01:23:49,270 --> 01:23:47,440 and furious 2182 01:23:51,189 --> 01:23:49,280 you don't get that deep thinking that 2183 01:23:52,229 --> 01:23:51,199 you need to struggle through a difficult 2184 01:23:54,790 --> 01:23:52,239 problem 2185 01:23:56,310 --> 01:23:54,800 like doing the math to understand one of 2186 01:23:58,790 --> 01:23:56,320 dave's papers 2187 01:24:01,830 --> 01:23:58,800 um you know so 2188 01:24:04,229 --> 01:24:01,840 uh there's good and bad 2189 01:24:08,070 --> 01:24:04,239 basically really good 2190 01:24:08,080 --> 01:24:11,510 do i start now 2191 01:24:15,030 --> 01:24:14,229 twitter doesn't affect my life actually 2192 01:24:16,470 --> 01:24:15,040 um 2193 01:24:18,629 --> 01:24:16,480 the trouble with having such good 2194 01:24:19,510 --> 01:24:18,639 speakers is that when you're at the tail 2195 01:24:20,390 --> 01:24:19,520 of the pro 2196 01:24:21,669 --> 01:24:20,400 the 2197 01:24:23,910 --> 01:24:21,679 proceedings 2198 01:24:26,149 --> 01:24:23,920 there's not too much left to say okay 2199 01:24:27,510 --> 01:24:26,159 but i'll try to decorate uh what people 2200 01:24:29,590 --> 01:24:27,520 have said before 2201 01:24:30,950 --> 01:24:29,600 so let me start with nasa jim who was 2202 01:24:32,550 --> 01:24:30,960 totally brilliant 2203 01:24:34,550 --> 01:24:32,560 and say something about methane because 2204 01:24:36,550 --> 01:24:34,560 i'm involved in that experiment 2205 01:24:38,390 --> 01:24:36,560 and so i'm worried about what the 2206 01:24:39,669 --> 01:24:38,400 results are going to mean 2207 01:24:42,709 --> 01:24:39,679 first of all 2208 01:24:47,350 --> 01:24:42,719 methane from cows comes from burps 2209 01:24:49,910 --> 01:24:48,870 second thing is which is even less 2210 01:24:51,990 --> 01:24:49,920 romantic 2211 01:24:53,830 --> 01:24:52,000 a lot of methane on earth is generated 2212 01:24:55,990 --> 01:24:53,840 by rice paddies 2213 01:24:57,990 --> 01:24:56,000 because the bacteria that make let make 2214 01:24:59,030 --> 01:24:58,000 methane love to live on the roots of 2215 01:24:59,990 --> 01:24:59,040 rice 2216 01:25:02,310 --> 01:25:00,000 so 2217 01:25:04,870 --> 01:25:02,320 as the need in the world 2218 01:25:07,430 --> 01:25:04,880 increases for more food we're going to 2219 01:25:09,350 --> 01:25:07,440 get more methane okay kind of a sobering 2220 01:25:12,550 --> 01:25:09,360 concept 2221 01:25:14,870 --> 01:25:12,560 let's see now we get to oh one more 2222 01:25:16,870 --> 01:25:14,880 thing about nasa jim he talked about 2223 01:25:19,189 --> 01:25:16,880 what nasa was doing and he left out one 2224 01:25:21,430 --> 01:25:19,199 thing that's kind of dear to my heart 2225 01:25:22,390 --> 01:25:21,440 and that's the cassini huygens mission 2226 01:25:24,310 --> 01:25:22,400 okay 2227 01:25:25,669 --> 01:25:24,320 i'd like you to think for a minute 2228 01:25:27,110 --> 01:25:25,679 because we tend to take all these things 2229 01:25:27,910 --> 01:25:27,120 for granted 2230 01:25:32,310 --> 01:25:27,920 that 2231 01:25:34,870 --> 01:25:32,320 let's put the united states together 2232 01:25:36,070 --> 01:25:34,880 with europe about 16 countries 2233 01:25:38,550 --> 01:25:36,080 got together 2234 01:25:41,910 --> 01:25:38,560 we sent a probe and an orbiter to the 2235 01:25:45,189 --> 01:25:41,920 saturn system we deployed a probe to the 2236 01:25:46,790 --> 01:25:45,199 surface of one of saturn's satellites 2237 01:25:49,350 --> 01:25:46,800 okay that's something that doesn't 2238 01:25:51,350 --> 01:25:49,360 happen every day and yet people are sort 2239 01:25:52,870 --> 01:25:51,360 of forgetting about it already which is 2240 01:25:54,709 --> 01:25:52,880 part of the problem with progress i 2241 01:25:56,790 --> 01:25:54,719 guess anyway that mission is still going 2242 01:25:58,470 --> 01:25:56,800 strong and still producing data and we 2243 01:26:00,790 --> 01:25:58,480 love it a lot 2244 01:26:03,669 --> 01:26:00,800 okay we come to scott bolton and now i 2245 01:26:06,629 --> 01:26:03,679 can tell you how the mission got started 2246 01:26:08,870 --> 01:26:06,639 it got started in a jpl cafeteria 2247 01:26:10,790 --> 01:26:08,880 where i was innocently eating lunch 2248 01:26:14,390 --> 01:26:10,800 and scott came over with this brilliant 2249 01:26:16,149 --> 01:26:14,400 idea of having a probe in a polar orbit 2250 01:26:18,470 --> 01:26:16,159 around jupiter which would give a much 2251 01:26:20,870 --> 01:26:18,480 better or much different view of the 2252 01:26:23,590 --> 01:26:20,880 magnetosphere than we'd ever have before 2253 01:26:24,870 --> 01:26:23,600 and he asked me is there anything else 2254 01:26:28,310 --> 01:26:24,880 we could do with the probe in that 2255 01:26:30,390 --> 01:26:28,320 situation and i said oxygen because i 2256 01:26:32,229 --> 01:26:30,400 just come off the galileo probe and as 2257 01:26:34,390 --> 01:26:32,239 scott told you we hadn't been able to 2258 01:26:36,310 --> 01:26:34,400 measure the oxygen we saw a little bit 2259 01:26:37,910 --> 01:26:36,320 of water vapor in the upper atmosphere 2260 01:26:40,229 --> 01:26:37,920 but and so we know there was oxygen 2261 01:26:42,310 --> 01:26:40,239 there oxygen there but we didn't get the 2262 01:26:44,310 --> 01:26:42,320 global abundance of oxygen because 2263 01:26:46,149 --> 01:26:44,320 that's tied up with hydrogen and water 2264 01:26:48,310 --> 01:26:46,159 and that's very low in the atmosphere 2265 01:26:49,910 --> 01:26:48,320 below the clouds that we could see 2266 01:26:52,390 --> 01:26:49,920 and below the region that the probe 2267 01:26:53,270 --> 01:26:52,400 could get to so that was a big missing 2268 01:26:55,110 --> 01:26:53,280 link 2269 01:26:57,030 --> 01:26:55,120 okay 2270 01:26:57,910 --> 01:26:57,040 and uh what else 2271 01:27:00,629 --> 01:26:57,920 um 2272 01:27:02,870 --> 01:27:00,639 anyway it worked and here we are and 2273 01:27:05,669 --> 01:27:02,880 it's a wonderful mission and let me just 2274 01:27:07,750 --> 01:27:05,679 say a few words again about these great 2275 01:27:09,030 --> 01:27:07,760 ideas that uh fran was just talking 2276 01:27:11,350 --> 01:27:09,040 about 2277 01:27:13,510 --> 01:27:11,360 you can imagine our ancient ancestors 2278 01:27:16,709 --> 01:27:13,520 sitting out standing out on the lawn 2279 01:27:18,709 --> 01:27:16,719 here on the savannah let's say 2280 01:27:20,790 --> 01:27:18,719 they're looking into each other's eyes 2281 01:27:22,229 --> 01:27:20,800 they're looking up at the night sky 2282 01:27:24,310 --> 01:27:22,239 and they're thinking 2283 01:27:25,590 --> 01:27:24,320 what is all this about 2284 01:27:28,310 --> 01:27:25,600 and one of the things they're thinking 2285 01:27:30,070 --> 01:27:28,320 of course is how did we get here and 2286 01:27:32,310 --> 01:27:30,080 another thing is 2287 01:27:34,550 --> 01:27:32,320 what's going on out there is there some 2288 01:27:37,030 --> 01:27:34,560 connection between us and out there and 2289 01:27:38,709 --> 01:27:37,040 mind you this was before nasa 2290 01:27:41,590 --> 01:27:38,719 okay they had these ideas they had these 2291 01:27:47,590 --> 01:27:44,229 and before tweet yes 2292 01:27:50,470 --> 01:27:47,600 actually quite a bit before tweet 2293 01:27:53,270 --> 01:27:50,480 okay so um where do we go from there 2294 01:27:55,189 --> 01:27:53,280 well these ideas are so deep and so 2295 01:27:57,590 --> 01:27:55,199 profound that they have actually 2296 01:27:58,390 --> 01:27:57,600 influenced a lot of what goes on on the 2297 01:28:01,430 --> 01:27:58,400 earth 2298 01:28:03,510 --> 01:28:01,440 they have influenced religions okay all 2299 01:28:05,590 --> 01:28:03,520 over the planet it's an important part 2300 01:28:06,709 --> 01:28:05,600 of almost every religion 2301 01:28:09,270 --> 01:28:06,719 secondly 2302 01:28:10,790 --> 01:28:09,280 they have influenced art music 2303 01:28:12,950 --> 01:28:10,800 literature 2304 01:28:15,270 --> 01:28:12,960 and thirdly they lead to a lot of 2305 01:28:17,110 --> 01:28:15,280 wonderful arguments among scientists as 2306 01:28:18,470 --> 01:28:17,120 to what the hell is going on that's 2307 01:28:20,470 --> 01:28:18,480 another question by the way a deep 2308 01:28:21,750 --> 01:28:20,480 question which people have had since the 2309 01:28:23,510 --> 01:28:21,760 very beginning 2310 01:28:25,270 --> 01:28:23,520 still going on 2311 01:28:27,910 --> 01:28:25,280 all right so what's 2312 01:28:30,070 --> 01:28:27,920 really happening oh i forget these 2313 01:28:31,990 --> 01:28:30,080 gentlemen and ladies 2314 01:28:34,310 --> 01:28:32,000 i should decorate them too 2315 01:28:36,310 --> 01:28:34,320 this guy is very hard to decorate so let 2316 01:28:39,350 --> 01:28:36,320 me just decorate him the way people get 2317 01:28:41,350 --> 01:28:39,360 decorated in washington by the president 2318 01:28:42,870 --> 01:28:41,360 in addition to 4k showing that there was 2319 01:28:44,790 --> 01:28:42,880 helium rain 2320 01:28:47,510 --> 01:28:44,800 on jupiter 2321 01:28:49,510 --> 01:28:47,520 he figured out this brilliant idea 2322 01:28:51,510 --> 01:28:49,520 that neon which had been missing we 2323 01:28:54,550 --> 01:28:51,520 haven't been able to connect to to see 2324 01:28:57,189 --> 01:28:54,560 it with uh the probe it was what we saw 2325 01:28:59,430 --> 01:28:57,199 it sorry but it was very depleted 2326 01:29:01,830 --> 01:28:59,440 why why was it depleted 2327 01:29:04,470 --> 01:29:01,840 dave figured out that the helium sorry 2328 01:29:07,590 --> 01:29:04,480 the night the neon too many elements the 2329 01:29:10,229 --> 01:29:07,600 neon was dissolving in the helium rain 2330 01:29:13,510 --> 01:29:10,239 and getting down inside that was a that 2331 01:29:16,229 --> 01:29:13,520 was a stroke that was a very nice stroke 2332 01:29:17,750 --> 01:29:16,239 i have a smaller decoration for fran 2333 01:29:19,590 --> 01:29:17,760 sorry for that 2334 01:29:22,070 --> 01:29:19,600 i was giving a lecture 2335 01:29:24,310 --> 01:29:22,080 at the agu one one time 2336 01:29:25,910 --> 01:29:24,320 and i couldn't get the av to work it 2337 01:29:27,750 --> 01:29:25,920 just wouldn't work 2338 01:29:30,550 --> 01:29:27,760 fran got up from the audience came up 2339 01:29:31,350 --> 01:29:30,560 there pushed one button it worked 2340 01:29:33,910 --> 01:29:31,360 which 2341 01:29:40,950 --> 01:29:33,920 the moral is when you're in trouble ask 2342 01:29:43,750 --> 01:29:42,550 can we make this the last few seconds if 2343 01:29:45,189 --> 01:29:43,760 we could our next speakers are on a 2344 01:29:47,270 --> 01:29:45,199 tight schedule 2345 01:29:48,229 --> 01:29:47,280 i got a few seconds uh yeah if we could 2346 01:29:49,669 --> 01:29:48,239 we could 2347 01:29:52,229 --> 01:29:49,679 apologize okay 2348 01:29:55,350 --> 01:29:52,239 uh oxygen is a really good thing uh it 2349 01:29:57,830 --> 01:29:55,360 tells us about uh whether or not jupiter 2350 01:30:00,709 --> 01:29:57,840 migrated we can we can actually deduce 2351 01:30:02,629 --> 01:30:00,719 that it tells us about a very important 2352 01:30:04,310 --> 01:30:02,639 element for building interior models we 2353 01:30:05,669 --> 01:30:04,320 need it we don't have it 2354 01:30:08,070 --> 01:30:05,679 and you're all breathing it which is 2355 01:30:10,310 --> 01:30:08,080 kind of nice but here 2356 01:30:12,310 --> 01:30:10,320 mind you it's produced by green plants 2357 01:30:14,870 --> 01:30:12,320 okay it didn't get here from outer space 2358 01:30:16,870 --> 01:30:14,880 so be friends with your green plants we 2359 01:30:17,910 --> 01:30:16,880 need them 2360 01:30:19,189 --> 01:30:17,920 okay 2361 01:30:24,149 --> 01:30:19,199 so let's hear it for our planetary 2362 01:30:27,189 --> 01:30:25,669 sorry to have to cut that short i hope 2363 01:30:28,390 --> 01:30:27,199 you're able to stick around a little bit 2364 01:30:30,149 --> 01:30:28,400 and see if any of the tweeps have some 2365 01:30:40,550 --> 01:30:30,159 more questions for you here in the back 2366 01:30:43,510 --> 01:30:42,310 okay so i'd like to introduce our next 2367 01:30:45,430 --> 01:30:43,520 speakers 2368 01:30:47,990 --> 01:30:45,440 when i ask my colleagues at 2369 01:30:49,910 --> 01:30:48,000 jpl how to explain how the juno proposal 2370 01:30:51,189 --> 01:30:49,920 manager and the general project manager 2371 01:30:52,629 --> 01:30:51,199 fit into the story they said that's this 2372 01:30:54,870 --> 01:30:52,639 is an easy one 2373 01:30:55,990 --> 01:30:54,880 because steve matuzik is the grandfather 2374 01:30:58,229 --> 01:30:56,000 of juno 2375 01:31:00,070 --> 01:30:58,239 and jan chodes is the superhuman ceo of 2376 01:31:01,430 --> 01:31:00,080 the mission so you get an idea in 2377 01:31:03,270 --> 01:31:01,440 someone's head it comes down to paper 2378 01:31:05,350 --> 01:31:03,280 these two help make it happen so with 2379 01:31:06,870 --> 01:31:05,360 that steve matuzik the genome proposal 2380 01:31:13,270 --> 01:31:06,880 manager and jan showed us the juno 2381 01:31:17,510 --> 01:31:15,430 volunteered to hold this for me for 2382 01:31:20,790 --> 01:31:17,520 minutes can 2383 01:31:25,750 --> 01:31:22,149 i'll get back to you in a little bit 2384 01:31:29,830 --> 01:31:28,149 so i wanted to talk about uh some of the 2385 01:31:31,830 --> 01:31:29,840 early days 2386 01:31:33,830 --> 01:31:31,840 we started working on the proposal in 2387 01:31:35,669 --> 01:31:33,840 2003. 2388 01:31:36,950 --> 01:31:35,679 one of the big things we had to decide 2389 01:31:39,270 --> 01:31:36,960 at the beginning 2390 01:31:41,110 --> 01:31:39,280 was of course everybody knows that juno 2391 01:31:43,350 --> 01:31:41,120 spins 2392 01:31:47,270 --> 01:31:43,360 and we had to say well 2393 01:31:48,709 --> 01:31:47,280 um which way is it going to spin 2394 01:31:51,669 --> 01:31:48,719 and we 2395 01:31:53,270 --> 01:31:51,679 we scratched our heads and said well 2396 01:31:55,430 --> 01:31:53,280 i don't know maybe it should spin this 2397 01:31:56,790 --> 01:31:55,440 way and half the team said that and the 2398 01:31:58,950 --> 01:31:56,800 other half the team said well no i think 2399 01:32:00,629 --> 01:31:58,960 it should spin this way 2400 01:32:02,550 --> 01:32:00,639 so we scratched our heads some more and 2401 01:32:04,709 --> 01:32:02,560 finally we came up with the reason for 2402 01:32:07,590 --> 01:32:04,719 the way it's going to spin so 2403 01:32:09,669 --> 01:32:07,600 if if you're facing the solar rays it's 2404 01:32:11,830 --> 01:32:09,679 spinning this way and the reason we do 2405 01:32:13,430 --> 01:32:11,840 that is because we actually get a few 2406 01:32:15,270 --> 01:32:13,440 more measurements 2407 01:32:16,470 --> 01:32:15,280 at jupiter and every measurement is 2408 01:32:19,669 --> 01:32:16,480 important 2409 01:32:21,590 --> 01:32:19,679 so that's the reason we spin that way um 2410 01:32:23,189 --> 01:32:21,600 another question i oh i forgot to 2411 01:32:24,629 --> 01:32:23,199 mention to everybody i'm the one to 2412 01:32:27,910 --> 01:32:24,639 blame 2413 01:32:29,750 --> 01:32:27,920 for why we're launching in august so 2414 01:32:31,189 --> 01:32:29,760 i'm sorry about that 2415 01:32:34,229 --> 01:32:31,199 we have to launch in august to get to 2416 01:32:35,510 --> 01:32:34,239 jupiter the reason for that is that we 2417 01:32:37,030 --> 01:32:35,520 launch of course and then we do a 2418 01:32:38,629 --> 01:32:37,040 two-year loop 2419 01:32:40,149 --> 01:32:38,639 and come back to the earth again and 2420 01:32:41,510 --> 01:32:40,159 people again they scratch their heads 2421 01:32:43,189 --> 01:32:41,520 and say well why do you come back to the 2422 01:32:44,470 --> 01:32:43,199 earth again don't you want to get out to 2423 01:32:45,750 --> 01:32:44,480 jupiter 2424 01:32:46,629 --> 01:32:45,760 we have to come back to the earth 2425 01:32:48,149 --> 01:32:46,639 because 2426 01:32:50,149 --> 01:32:48,159 i'm borrowing 2427 01:32:52,629 --> 01:32:50,159 ever so little bit of energy from the 2428 01:32:56,390 --> 01:32:52,639 earth so that we can get out to jupiter 2429 01:32:57,990 --> 01:32:56,400 we went on on the atlas 5-51 2430 01:32:59,990 --> 01:32:58,000 and we that's how we were able to fit 2431 01:33:01,750 --> 01:33:00,000 the mission onto that launch vehicle is 2432 01:33:04,950 --> 01:33:01,760 is do gravity assisted earth and get out 2433 01:33:06,070 --> 01:33:04,960 to jupiter in in five years 2434 01:33:12,470 --> 01:33:06,080 um 2435 01:33:14,629 --> 01:33:12,480 when you're spinning how do you point 2436 01:33:16,390 --> 01:33:14,639 because everybody knows when you 2437 01:33:18,390 --> 01:33:16,400 have a bicycle wheel and it's spinning 2438 01:33:21,270 --> 01:33:18,400 and you try and move it 2439 01:33:24,070 --> 01:33:21,280 it's not easy to move sometimes and so 2440 01:33:26,310 --> 01:33:24,080 how do you how do you point it is 2441 01:33:27,830 --> 01:33:26,320 well the answer is we don't need to 2442 01:33:32,070 --> 01:33:27,840 point it 2443 01:33:33,830 --> 01:33:32,080 as things are spinning around and you've 2444 01:33:35,350 --> 01:33:33,840 you've seen all the science instruments 2445 01:33:36,390 --> 01:33:35,360 that are on the side 2446 01:33:38,390 --> 01:33:36,400 well 2447 01:33:40,229 --> 01:33:38,400 they they go by and they see jupiter 2448 01:33:42,470 --> 01:33:40,239 once every revolution and so we don't 2449 01:33:44,950 --> 01:33:42,480 need to point the spacecraft and so it 2450 01:33:46,629 --> 01:33:44,960 can spin and stay it's very stable out 2451 01:33:48,390 --> 01:33:46,639 in space it just 2452 01:33:50,870 --> 01:33:48,400 it floats along and doesn't really have 2453 01:33:54,790 --> 01:33:50,880 to do much uh on its way out to jupiter 2454 01:33:58,550 --> 01:33:56,149 and the last thing i'm going to talk 2455 01:34:00,629 --> 01:33:58,560 about here before i hand it over to jan 2456 01:34:02,790 --> 01:34:00,639 and then i'll come back up probably here 2457 01:34:04,709 --> 01:34:02,800 to answer a few questions too is 2458 01:34:06,550 --> 01:34:04,719 um 2459 01:34:08,550 --> 01:34:06,560 fran i think talked about it when she 2460 01:34:11,189 --> 01:34:08,560 was up here she said she loved that huge 2461 01:34:14,310 --> 01:34:11,199 orbit that we go into initially 2462 01:34:16,709 --> 01:34:14,320 and uh why do we have to go into huge 2463 01:34:20,229 --> 01:34:16,719 orbit like that 107 day orbit i mean we 2464 01:34:22,709 --> 01:34:20,239 get to jupiter we fire the engine and 2465 01:34:25,110 --> 01:34:22,719 why do we go into such a big orbit well 2466 01:34:27,030 --> 01:34:25,120 the answer to that is in the original 2467 01:34:29,189 --> 01:34:27,040 proposal we did not do that we went 2468 01:34:30,310 --> 01:34:29,199 straight into the 11 day orbit 2469 01:34:32,790 --> 01:34:30,320 and then 2470 01:34:34,470 --> 01:34:32,800 we needed to figure out how to reduce 2471 01:34:36,149 --> 01:34:34,480 some of the mass and so i scratched my 2472 01:34:38,470 --> 01:34:36,159 head and i said ah 2473 01:34:40,149 --> 01:34:38,480 if we go into a big orbit 2474 01:34:42,149 --> 01:34:40,159 we're going to use less propellant so we 2475 01:34:43,990 --> 01:34:42,159 go into a big huge orbit and then we get 2476 01:34:46,229 --> 01:34:44,000 down to our final orbit 2477 01:34:48,070 --> 01:34:46,239 after that one big orbit so that's again 2478 01:34:49,270 --> 01:34:48,080 saves some more propellant and gets and 2479 01:34:50,950 --> 01:34:49,280 gets more 2480 01:34:52,470 --> 01:34:50,960 instruments and measurements back from 2481 01:34:53,750 --> 01:34:52,480 jupiter so 2482 01:34:57,990 --> 01:34:53,760 i'll stay up here and i'm going to tag 2483 01:35:01,430 --> 01:34:59,590 thanks steve 2484 01:35:04,070 --> 01:35:01,440 uh it's great to be here today welcome 2485 01:35:10,790 --> 01:35:04,080 to uh the juno launch we're planning on 2486 01:35:15,830 --> 01:35:14,229 um this morning at 6 30 we met um over 2487 01:35:18,310 --> 01:35:15,840 in the atlas space flight operations 2488 01:35:19,910 --> 01:35:18,320 center and got yet another weather 2489 01:35:22,550 --> 01:35:19,920 weather briefing to decide whether or 2490 01:35:24,870 --> 01:35:22,560 not to roll out today and um of course 2491 01:35:27,189 --> 01:35:24,880 emily is being very fickle 2492 01:35:29,430 --> 01:35:27,199 not very easily predicted what is going 2493 01:35:31,430 --> 01:35:29,440 to happen with this tropical storm but 2494 01:35:34,070 --> 01:35:31,440 the weather folks put their heads 2495 01:35:36,070 --> 01:35:34,080 together and decided that yes we can 2496 01:35:38,790 --> 01:35:36,080 roll out today and we'll have another 2497 01:35:40,629 --> 01:35:38,800 meeting uh 6 a.m tomorrow morning to 2498 01:35:42,790 --> 01:35:40,639 decide whether we can go for the launch 2499 01:35:45,430 --> 01:35:42,800 opportunity tomorrow we'd like to have 2500 01:35:47,510 --> 01:35:45,440 opportunities both friday and saturday 2501 01:35:49,910 --> 01:35:47,520 so we'll just keep track of emily 2502 01:35:52,149 --> 01:35:49,920 it's traveling more westerly than they 2503 01:35:54,550 --> 01:35:52,159 originally anticipated has not made its 2504 01:35:56,229 --> 01:35:54,560 turn north we we really wanted it to 2505 01:35:58,070 --> 01:35:56,239 turn north earlier so it would stay to 2506 01:35:59,590 --> 01:35:58,080 the east of the peninsula but right now 2507 01:36:00,950 --> 01:35:59,600 everything looks good for an opportunity 2508 01:36:01,830 --> 01:36:00,960 tomorrow 2509 01:36:03,189 --> 01:36:01,840 and 2510 01:36:05,669 --> 01:36:03,199 noting the time i think it's a little 2511 01:36:08,070 --> 01:36:05,679 afternoon now and our launch window 2512 01:36:15,189 --> 01:36:08,080 tomorrow opens at 11 34 a.m so we're 2513 01:36:20,870 --> 01:36:18,149 we have a 69-minute window tomorrow to 2514 01:36:23,030 --> 01:36:20,880 attempt and we have a 22-day launch 2515 01:36:24,870 --> 01:36:23,040 period as i'm sure you all know with 2516 01:36:26,229 --> 01:36:24,880 daily windows up to about 90 minutes 2517 01:36:28,229 --> 01:36:26,239 most days 2518 01:36:30,229 --> 01:36:28,239 right now the spacecraft is in its 2519 01:36:32,310 --> 01:36:30,239 stowed configuration on top of the space 2520 01:36:34,950 --> 01:36:32,320 on top of the rocket so unlike this 2521 01:36:36,870 --> 01:36:34,960 model here that shows the beautiful rays 2522 01:36:38,550 --> 01:36:36,880 deployed it's it's um they're all folded 2523 01:36:40,310 --> 01:36:38,560 up against the spacecraft uh the 2524 01:36:42,470 --> 01:36:40,320 spacecraft is about 11 and a half feet 2525 01:36:44,470 --> 01:36:42,480 high about 11 and a half feet across but 2526 01:36:46,550 --> 01:36:44,480 if you did a circumference of a diameter 2527 01:36:48,149 --> 01:36:46,560 of a circle uh from the tip of the mag 2528 01:36:50,709 --> 01:36:48,159 boom all the way around it's it's about 2529 01:36:54,229 --> 01:36:50,719 80 feet across so it really is a large 2530 01:36:56,550 --> 01:36:54,239 uh spacecraft with the wings deployed 2531 01:36:58,310 --> 01:36:56,560 so everything's ready to go we're ready 2532 01:37:00,149 --> 01:36:58,320 the rocket's ready the weather is 2533 01:37:05,669 --> 01:37:00,159 looking good and 2534 01:37:09,109 --> 01:37:07,830 so um yeah i can only stay for a few 2535 01:37:10,950 --> 01:37:09,119 more minutes so i'd be happy to take 2536 01:37:13,030 --> 01:37:10,960 some questions before uh turning it back 2537 01:37:15,030 --> 01:37:13,040 over to steve if there's anything that 2538 01:37:19,109 --> 01:37:15,040 you'd like to know yeah 2539 01:37:22,870 --> 01:37:21,030 hi jan i'll ask the non-science question 2540 01:37:24,709 --> 01:37:22,880 here as i know there's a couple project 2541 01:37:26,390 --> 01:37:24,719 managers in the room from a project 2542 01:37:28,310 --> 01:37:26,400 management perspective on a very large 2543 01:37:29,910 --> 01:37:28,320 project like this what are some of the 2544 01:37:32,390 --> 01:37:29,920 challenges you faced over the past 2545 01:37:33,750 --> 01:37:32,400 couple years 2546 01:37:36,310 --> 01:37:33,760 well um 2547 01:37:37,910 --> 01:37:36,320 on a large project as any large team you 2548 01:37:39,510 --> 01:37:37,920 want to make sure that you have really 2549 01:37:42,790 --> 01:37:39,520 good uh team 2550 01:37:45,430 --> 01:37:42,800 communication and and and team um 2551 01:37:47,270 --> 01:37:45,440 division of responsibilities and esprit 2552 01:37:48,950 --> 01:37:47,280 de corps i mean you want to work you 2553 01:37:52,070 --> 01:37:48,960 want to one of the things i take the 2554 01:37:53,669 --> 01:37:52,080 most pleasure in is seeing a team evolve 2555 01:37:55,830 --> 01:37:53,679 so that everyone understands their roles 2556 01:37:57,350 --> 01:37:55,840 and responsibilities each person knows 2557 01:37:58,790 --> 01:37:57,360 what they need to take care of who their 2558 01:38:01,109 --> 01:37:58,800 interfaces are 2559 01:38:03,430 --> 01:38:01,119 they work harmoniously 2560 01:38:04,709 --> 01:38:03,440 mutual respect and integrity are 2561 01:38:07,109 --> 01:38:04,719 important because you want to make sure 2562 01:38:08,870 --> 01:38:07,119 that when you run into a problem you can 2563 01:38:11,109 --> 01:38:08,880 debate the pros and cons in a 2564 01:38:13,510 --> 01:38:11,119 non-emotional fashion and make sure that 2565 01:38:17,990 --> 01:38:13,520 you make the right decision for the best 2566 01:38:24,870 --> 01:38:21,109 anything else any questions on this side 2567 01:38:29,430 --> 01:38:27,109 because because this is a tweet up 2568 01:38:31,189 --> 01:38:29,440 i feel i'd be amiss if i didn't direct a 2569 01:38:33,590 --> 01:38:31,199 question towards you from somebody i 2570 01:38:35,910 --> 01:38:33,600 follow on twitter chris astro 2571 01:38:37,430 --> 01:38:35,920 and he'd like to know if uh can you 2572 01:38:38,629 --> 01:38:37,440 please extend the mission for more than 2573 01:38:40,950 --> 01:38:38,639 just a year 2574 01:38:42,870 --> 01:38:40,960 just you know just take a little longer 2575 01:38:44,870 --> 01:38:42,880 well that's actually a better question 2576 01:38:46,870 --> 01:38:44,880 for steve from a mission design 2577 01:38:48,470 --> 01:38:46,880 perspective but 2578 01:38:50,950 --> 01:38:48,480 any other questions for me from a 2579 01:38:54,550 --> 01:38:50,960 project management perspective the 2580 01:38:57,189 --> 01:38:54,560 boring management budget schedule 2581 01:38:59,030 --> 01:38:57,199 side of things we are on schedule and on 2582 01:39:02,070 --> 01:38:59,040 budget so that's a tribute to the 2583 01:39:04,629 --> 01:39:02,080 extended juno team 2584 01:39:07,109 --> 01:39:04,639 one question here in the back 2585 01:39:09,270 --> 01:39:07,119 on that topic a lot of nasa projects 2586 01:39:11,270 --> 01:39:09,280 have had a tendency to get really far 2587 01:39:13,030 --> 01:39:11,280 off of budget so how is juno different 2588 01:39:15,830 --> 01:39:13,040 than say 2589 01:39:17,910 --> 01:39:15,840 james webb or the space shuttle or mars 2590 01:39:19,750 --> 01:39:17,920 science laboratory well we are on 2591 01:39:21,669 --> 01:39:19,760 schedule and on budget we have a total 2592 01:39:23,750 --> 01:39:21,679 budget of 1.1 billion and we're coming 2593 01:39:26,629 --> 01:39:23,760 in a little bit under that 2594 01:39:29,910 --> 01:39:26,639 thanks to the great teamwork and 2595 01:39:31,750 --> 01:39:29,920 focus from everyone across the nation 2596 01:39:34,310 --> 01:39:31,760 and the world we have international 2597 01:39:36,550 --> 01:39:34,320 partnerships as well it takes everyone 2598 01:39:38,310 --> 01:39:36,560 doing the right technical job 2599 01:39:40,070 --> 01:39:38,320 and being sensitive to 2600 01:39:45,189 --> 01:39:40,080 the technical scope the schedule and the 2601 01:39:50,070 --> 01:39:46,629 questions one 2602 01:39:53,669 --> 01:39:51,830 yeah hi my name is patrick cavanaugh i 2603 01:39:55,910 --> 01:39:53,679 was just wondering how you got involved 2604 01:39:58,390 --> 01:39:55,920 with nasa originally and how you rose to 2605 01:40:00,790 --> 01:39:58,400 be at the position you're at now leading 2606 01:40:03,830 --> 01:40:00,800 um project manager for this mission well 2607 01:40:07,189 --> 01:40:03,840 i i joined the jet propulsion laboratory 2608 01:40:10,149 --> 01:40:07,199 in 1980 so i've been there over 31 years 2609 01:40:11,830 --> 01:40:10,159 when i was in i'm actually canadian 2610 01:40:14,229 --> 01:40:11,840 i went to university of toronto any 2611 01:40:16,550 --> 01:40:14,239 canadians here all right toronto 2612 01:40:18,149 --> 01:40:16,560 university of toronto um aerospace 2613 01:40:20,390 --> 01:40:18,159 engineering bachelor's and master's 2614 01:40:21,750 --> 01:40:20,400 degrees and i uh the space side of 2615 01:40:23,990 --> 01:40:21,760 aerospace engineering appealed to me the 2616 01:40:26,470 --> 01:40:24,000 math and physics 2617 01:40:28,229 --> 01:40:26,480 predictability appealed to me in high 2618 01:40:31,830 --> 01:40:28,239 school and college 2619 01:40:33,590 --> 01:40:31,840 and and so when i was applying for a job 2620 01:40:35,750 --> 01:40:33,600 it's serendipitous and timing is 2621 01:40:37,510 --> 01:40:35,760 everything and there were i was able to 2622 01:40:39,990 --> 01:40:37,520 get a visa that allowed me to come and 2623 01:40:41,990 --> 01:40:40,000 work at jpl and join the galileo mission 2624 01:40:43,510 --> 01:40:42,000 so i worked on the galileo mission 2625 01:40:44,870 --> 01:40:43,520 attitude and articulation control 2626 01:40:47,750 --> 01:40:44,880 subsystem 2627 01:40:49,270 --> 01:40:47,760 from 1980 uh through galileo's launch i 2628 01:40:52,629 --> 01:40:49,280 ended up as a technical manager of that 2629 01:40:55,830 --> 01:40:52,639 subsystem but really i think that 2630 01:40:58,229 --> 01:40:55,840 i i enjoy the technical topic of 2631 01:41:00,070 --> 01:40:58,239 aerospace and space exploration but my 2632 01:41:01,430 --> 01:41:00,080 personal strengths are more in 2633 01:41:03,590 --> 01:41:01,440 planning 2634 01:41:04,790 --> 01:41:03,600 coordination management scheduling 2635 01:41:06,629 --> 01:41:04,800 budget 2636 01:41:09,430 --> 01:41:06,639 that sort of thing organizing 2637 01:41:11,109 --> 01:41:09,440 anticipating problems you know early so 2638 01:41:12,870 --> 01:41:11,119 you can work them out when they're small 2639 01:41:14,950 --> 01:41:12,880 so i think i naturally gravitated to be 2640 01:41:16,709 --> 01:41:14,960 more a technical manager than staying in 2641 01:41:21,030 --> 01:41:16,719 the pure technical field and jpl has 2642 01:41:24,790 --> 01:41:22,790 thanks very much i gotta run back and do 2643 01:41:25,750 --> 01:41:24,800 another guest briefing thank you very 2644 01:41:32,229 --> 01:41:25,760 much 2645 01:41:35,669 --> 01:41:34,390 okay i remembered your question 2646 01:41:37,109 --> 01:41:35,679 um 2647 01:41:39,750 --> 01:41:37,119 question the question i'll just repeat 2648 01:41:42,470 --> 01:41:39,760 it so people uh question is why 2649 01:41:43,830 --> 01:41:42,480 why not extend juno's mission 2650 01:41:45,270 --> 01:41:43,840 well the 2651 01:41:47,669 --> 01:41:45,280 the short answer i'll give the short 2652 01:41:50,709 --> 01:41:47,679 answer the long answer the short answer 2653 01:41:53,270 --> 01:41:50,719 is that that jupiter course has 2654 01:41:55,750 --> 01:41:53,280 very high radiation field 2655 01:41:57,109 --> 01:41:55,760 and as we go along 2656 01:41:58,709 --> 01:41:57,119 in the mission 2657 01:42:00,390 --> 01:41:58,719 the orbit 2658 01:42:02,470 --> 01:42:00,400 i'm actually going to have to maybe you 2659 01:42:04,550 --> 01:42:02,480 can stand up and hold the globe 2660 01:42:07,510 --> 01:42:04,560 like right about there thank you 2661 01:42:10,310 --> 01:42:07,520 you can help answer your own question 2662 01:42:12,790 --> 01:42:10,320 okay so if if we're 2663 01:42:19,430 --> 01:42:12,800 if you're facing jupiter like this 2664 01:42:23,669 --> 01:42:21,830 okay so we're coming in like that 2665 01:42:25,590 --> 01:42:23,679 excellent 2666 01:42:27,189 --> 01:42:25,600 3d animation 2667 01:42:28,870 --> 01:42:27,199 and and then 2668 01:42:30,310 --> 01:42:28,880 well that's the big orbit and then we 2669 01:42:31,590 --> 01:42:30,320 then we go in and we get into the 2670 01:42:33,830 --> 01:42:31,600 smaller orbit 2671 01:42:36,390 --> 01:42:33,840 now we're in 2672 01:42:38,070 --> 01:42:36,400 now the orbit though jupiter 2673 01:42:40,070 --> 01:42:38,080 every time we go by 2674 01:42:41,510 --> 01:42:40,080 jupiter's torquing the orbit down like 2675 01:42:43,750 --> 01:42:41,520 this so 2676 01:42:45,350 --> 01:42:43,760 it starts getting more and more down and 2677 01:42:47,590 --> 01:42:45,360 we start getting more and more radiation 2678 01:42:49,990 --> 01:42:47,600 as the mission goes along so by the time 2679 01:42:51,189 --> 01:42:50,000 we get to the 33rd orbit 2680 01:42:52,790 --> 01:42:51,199 we're getting 2681 01:42:54,470 --> 01:42:52,800 pretty big doses of radiation and we 2682 01:42:57,030 --> 01:42:54,480 want to make sure that we can control 2683 01:42:59,669 --> 01:42:57,040 the spacecraft so that we can put it 2684 01:43:03,990 --> 01:42:59,679 into jupiter at the end you can do the 2685 01:43:04,000 --> 01:43:07,990 it goes in 2686 01:43:13,910 --> 01:43:09,669 and 2687 01:43:16,149 --> 01:43:13,920 everything's going great you could go 2688 01:43:18,310 --> 01:43:16,159 maybe an orbit or two more but that's 2689 01:43:21,109 --> 01:43:18,320 about it because the radiation just gets 2690 01:43:23,750 --> 01:43:21,119 to be so intense 2691 01:43:25,830 --> 01:43:23,760 okay uh i wanted to add 2692 01:43:27,669 --> 01:43:25,840 about my background too because i've 2693 01:43:29,910 --> 01:43:27,679 i've been i've actually been following 2694 01:43:31,669 --> 01:43:29,920 some of the tweets uh on here because i 2695 01:43:34,070 --> 01:43:31,679 have a twitter account i don't i don't 2696 01:43:35,590 --> 01:43:34,080 tweet very often but um 2697 01:43:37,350 --> 01:43:35,600 one one of the things i've seen is 2698 01:43:39,270 --> 01:43:37,360 people who said yeah i want to work at 2699 01:43:40,950 --> 01:43:39,280 nasa they're they're in college now 2700 01:43:43,189 --> 01:43:40,960 they're about to graduate or 2701 01:43:45,189 --> 01:43:43,199 i wanted to say that's what i did i went 2702 01:43:46,310 --> 01:43:45,199 to university colorado boulder and i 2703 01:43:48,310 --> 01:43:46,320 said 2704 01:43:50,790 --> 01:43:48,320 i want to work for nasa 2705 01:43:52,229 --> 01:43:50,800 and i just i was just persistent i just 2706 01:43:55,590 --> 01:43:52,239 said i'm gonna do that i got a job at 2707 01:43:59,189 --> 01:43:55,600 jpl i worked on the voyager mission 2708 01:44:01,030 --> 01:43:59,199 when i was uh 25 years old i flew by the 2709 01:44:03,030 --> 01:44:01,040 planet neptune and now we're going to 2710 01:44:05,109 --> 01:44:03,040 jupiter those kind of dreams they can 2711 01:44:07,510 --> 01:44:05,119 happen i mean you just 2712 01:44:09,750 --> 01:44:07,520 you set your mind to it study the right 2713 01:44:11,030 --> 01:44:09,760 stuff and it happens 2714 01:44:12,629 --> 01:44:11,040 um 2715 01:44:15,109 --> 01:44:12,639 what i what i started out doing was 2716 01:44:16,870 --> 01:44:15,119 orbital mechanics and that's how i know 2717 01:44:19,430 --> 01:44:16,880 how to get out to jupiter and plan that 2718 01:44:21,590 --> 01:44:19,440 kind of stuff and once we're at jupiter 2719 01:44:23,669 --> 01:44:21,600 let's see uh there was i think there was 2720 01:44:26,870 --> 01:44:23,679 a another question let me talk a little 2721 01:44:28,870 --> 01:44:26,880 bit about the orbit now i wasn't totally 2722 01:44:30,950 --> 01:44:28,880 honest when i said that we don't have to 2723 01:44:33,669 --> 01:44:30,960 point the spacecraft we actually 2724 01:44:35,830 --> 01:44:33,679 have to point the spacecraft only twice 2725 01:44:38,149 --> 01:44:35,840 so um 2726 01:44:40,149 --> 01:44:38,159 i'm going to borrow the globe again 2727 01:44:41,430 --> 01:44:40,159 sorry to 2728 01:44:43,189 --> 01:44:41,440 okay so 2729 01:44:45,350 --> 01:44:43,199 if we're coming in like this there's 2730 01:44:47,510 --> 01:44:45,360 you've heard of the microwave radiometer 2731 01:44:49,669 --> 01:44:47,520 it comes in and it needs to be parallel 2732 01:44:52,470 --> 01:44:49,679 with jupiter so that's one of our type 2733 01:44:54,629 --> 01:44:52,480 orbit types and the other type is when 2734 01:44:56,550 --> 01:44:54,639 we're going up very close to the planet 2735 01:44:57,830 --> 01:44:56,560 we do a gravity science because we get 2736 01:45:00,709 --> 01:44:57,840 within 2737 01:45:02,950 --> 01:45:00,719 about 3 000 miles 5000 kilometers of the 2738 01:45:04,950 --> 01:45:02,960 cloud tops there and so we're going to 2739 01:45:07,270 --> 01:45:04,960 get all the measurements are going to be 2740 01:45:09,590 --> 01:45:07,280 awesome when we're that close 2741 01:45:11,350 --> 01:45:09,600 and when we're in that way we we point 2742 01:45:13,430 --> 01:45:11,360 the high gain antenna at the earth so we 2743 01:45:15,750 --> 01:45:13,440 can do the gravity science the deep 2744 01:45:17,750 --> 01:45:15,760 space network actually the biggest 2745 01:45:19,030 --> 01:45:17,760 instrument on juno 2746 01:45:21,109 --> 01:45:19,040 involves 2747 01:45:23,270 --> 01:45:21,119 the high gain antenna and the telecom 2748 01:45:25,590 --> 01:45:23,280 subsystem and 2749 01:45:27,430 --> 01:45:25,600 the deep space network antennas here on 2750 01:45:29,430 --> 01:45:27,440 earth at goldstone and that's the whole 2751 01:45:31,590 --> 01:45:29,440 instrument it takes it takes the whole 2752 01:45:33,590 --> 01:45:31,600 array there to to sense down to one 2753 01:45:35,990 --> 01:45:33,600 millimeter per second the gravity 2754 01:45:40,390 --> 01:45:36,000 science as we're going by there uh later 2755 01:45:43,910 --> 01:45:41,990 oh yeah that's way less that's about 2756 01:45:45,669 --> 01:45:43,920 that's about the distance that i flew 2757 01:45:47,750 --> 01:45:45,679 flying here from la 2758 01:45:49,189 --> 01:45:47,760 uh above the cloud tops 2759 01:45:51,830 --> 01:45:49,199 so i'm going to pause for a second and 2760 01:45:54,310 --> 01:45:51,840 take some questions um 2761 01:45:55,669 --> 01:45:54,320 thanks to the glo thanks to 3d animators 2762 01:45:57,189 --> 01:45:55,679 too that was really cool i want to do 2763 01:45:58,550 --> 01:45:57,199 that again sometime 2764 01:46:00,310 --> 01:45:58,560 that was awesome we've got a question 2765 01:46:02,310 --> 01:46:00,320 right here okay 2766 01:46:04,629 --> 01:46:02,320 yeah your great 3d animation brought to 2767 01:46:08,149 --> 01:46:04,639 the mind a question for me when you do 2768 01:46:10,390 --> 01:46:08,159 deorbit uh are you targeting a specific 2769 01:46:13,590 --> 01:46:10,400 uh hemisphere up northern pole southern 2770 01:46:16,790 --> 01:46:13,600 pole equator and would the inclination 2771 01:46:19,990 --> 01:46:16,800 or the orbital mechanics be right for uh 2772 01:46:24,229 --> 01:46:20,000 visualization from earth 2773 01:46:27,750 --> 01:46:24,239 i'm gonna have to do a quick 2774 01:46:30,149 --> 01:46:27,760 3d inside my head i 2775 01:46:32,310 --> 01:46:30,159 well for the first part of it is it's 2776 01:46:34,229 --> 01:46:32,320 going to come in around up here around 2777 01:46:36,149 --> 01:46:34,239 the pole there's no choice since the 2778 01:46:37,669 --> 01:46:36,159 orbit since the orbit goes like this and 2779 01:46:39,270 --> 01:46:37,679 we do the maneuver 2780 01:46:40,070 --> 01:46:39,280 out here to the deorbit maneuver it's 2781 01:46:42,470 --> 01:46:40,080 gonna 2782 01:46:44,870 --> 01:46:42,480 make the burn and then come in and go in 2783 01:46:46,870 --> 01:46:44,880 the northern hemisphere i i think it's 2784 01:46:49,510 --> 01:46:46,880 so small 2785 01:46:51,030 --> 01:46:49,520 the juno spacecraft is big but compared 2786 01:46:53,510 --> 01:46:51,040 to jupiter it's so small i don't think 2787 01:46:54,870 --> 01:46:53,520 we can see it i i'm that's just a guess 2788 01:46:56,629 --> 01:46:54,880 on my part 2789 01:46:57,990 --> 01:46:56,639 um i'd i'll have to go back that 2790 01:47:00,310 --> 01:46:58,000 actually put a thought in my head so i'm 2791 01:47:02,390 --> 01:47:00,320 going to go back and see if i don't 2792 01:47:04,149 --> 01:47:02,400 think we can but 2793 01:47:06,149 --> 01:47:04,159 good that's a good question 2794 01:47:07,669 --> 01:47:06,159 i'm going to check that out 2795 01:47:09,430 --> 01:47:07,679 if we can't see it i certainly want to 2796 01:47:11,350 --> 01:47:09,440 see that 2797 01:47:13,590 --> 01:47:11,360 steve we have a question here or a 2798 01:47:16,149 --> 01:47:13,600 comment back right this way right 2799 01:47:17,990 --> 01:47:16,159 speaker speaker 2800 01:47:20,629 --> 01:47:18,000 okay uh for those of you who aren't 2801 01:47:22,390 --> 01:47:20,639 rocket scientists okay if you get up at 2802 01:47:24,629 --> 01:47:22,400 five o'clock in the morning 2803 01:47:27,030 --> 01:47:24,639 you can see our target right up here 2804 01:47:29,189 --> 01:47:27,040 overhead okay in the eastern sky 2805 01:47:31,030 --> 01:47:29,199 so take a look and if you've got seven 2806 01:47:32,550 --> 01:47:31,040 by fifty binoculars 2807 01:47:34,709 --> 01:47:32,560 and you can hold them steady you've got 2808 01:47:36,470 --> 01:47:34,719 tripods even better you can see the 2809 01:47:38,870 --> 01:47:36,480 moons of jupiter in the same way that 2810 01:47:40,070 --> 01:47:38,880 galileo did when he discovered them so i 2811 01:47:42,390 --> 01:47:40,080 recommend it 2812 01:47:44,070 --> 01:47:42,400 yeah it's a it's an awesome sight i look 2813 01:47:46,310 --> 01:47:44,080 through it through my telescope all the 2814 01:47:50,149 --> 01:47:46,320 time 2815 01:47:50,159 --> 01:47:53,510 got one out here in the middle 2816 01:47:57,350 --> 01:47:55,510 hi i'm warren levine 2817 01:47:59,189 --> 01:47:57,360 um 2818 01:48:00,310 --> 01:47:59,199 being that you went to 2819 01:48:02,390 --> 01:48:00,320 boulder 2820 01:48:03,750 --> 01:48:02,400 uh and since you're 2821 01:48:05,750 --> 01:48:03,760 you know since you're in the profession 2822 01:48:07,590 --> 01:48:05,760 you are in did you ever enter a flying 2823 01:48:09,669 --> 01:48:07,600 machine into that annual race they've 2824 01:48:11,590 --> 01:48:09,679 got oh 2825 01:48:13,189 --> 01:48:11,600 no i've observed it a lot but i never 2826 01:48:14,870 --> 01:48:13,199 entered a machine there 2827 01:48:16,550 --> 01:48:14,880 perhaps i should sometimes that would be 2828 01:48:19,030 --> 01:48:16,560 that would be interesting yeah 2829 01:48:21,109 --> 01:48:19,040 that'd be really cool 2830 01:48:24,950 --> 01:48:21,119 okay time for one last question who 2831 01:48:28,629 --> 01:48:26,790 a lot of the speakers have talked about 2832 01:48:30,229 --> 01:48:28,639 all of the data that's coming in and i 2833 01:48:32,229 --> 01:48:30,239 understand from a scientific perspective 2834 01:48:34,310 --> 01:48:32,239 how useful it is but on the team have 2835 01:48:36,229 --> 01:48:34,320 you thought at all about how to use that 2836 01:48:39,030 --> 01:48:36,239 data in a way that the public can 2837 01:48:40,470 --> 01:48:39,040 understand visualizations or something 2838 01:48:42,709 --> 01:48:40,480 that goes beyond just the pictures that 2839 01:48:44,470 --> 01:48:42,719 are coming back from junocam i guess i'm 2840 01:48:46,550 --> 01:48:44,480 thinking of how data is really difficult 2841 01:48:48,550 --> 01:48:46,560 for people to get so how do you help the 2842 01:48:50,950 --> 01:48:48,560 public get it in order to make them care 2843 01:48:52,390 --> 01:48:50,960 about planetary missions like this i'm 2844 01:48:54,229 --> 01:48:52,400 i'm going to take a crack at that and 2845 01:48:57,270 --> 01:48:54,239 then i'm going to turn it over to 2846 01:48:59,030 --> 01:48:57,280 probably to fran and some others but the 2847 01:49:01,270 --> 01:48:59,040 answer is yes there are going to be a 2848 01:49:03,109 --> 01:49:01,280 lot of visualizations coming out because 2849 01:49:05,910 --> 01:49:03,119 when i when i first started working on 2850 01:49:07,030 --> 01:49:05,920 juno all the there's there's junocam 2851 01:49:09,109 --> 01:49:07,040 which is the visible camera but 2852 01:49:12,229 --> 01:49:09,119 everything else magnetometer gravity 2853 01:49:15,030 --> 01:49:12,239 science plasma particles 2854 01:49:17,189 --> 01:49:15,040 your eyes can't see that and so juno is 2855 01:49:19,030 --> 01:49:17,199 seeing it in different ways and there's 2856 01:49:20,550 --> 01:49:19,040 there's a lot of planning going into how 2857 01:49:23,350 --> 01:49:20,560 to put all those things together and 2858 01:49:25,589 --> 01:49:23,360 make them understandable even to the 2859 01:49:30,870 --> 01:49:25,599 science team and to everyone else too 2860 01:49:35,430 --> 01:49:33,189 juno is a little different from 2861 01:49:37,350 --> 01:49:35,440 the other big missions like galileo and 2862 01:49:39,510 --> 01:49:37,360 some extent cassini because it doesn't 2863 01:49:41,910 --> 01:49:39,520 last that long so we have to be ready 2864 01:49:43,830 --> 01:49:41,920 when we get there to analyze the data so 2865 01:49:45,669 --> 01:49:43,840 right now i'm training a couple of 2866 01:49:47,750 --> 01:49:45,679 undergraduates and two graduate students 2867 01:49:48,790 --> 01:49:47,760 to learn how to analyze the particle 2868 01:49:51,109 --> 01:49:48,800 data 2869 01:49:53,030 --> 01:49:51,119 so we've got visualization tools ready 2870 01:49:54,790 --> 01:49:53,040 to get those data out we're also going 2871 01:49:57,430 --> 01:49:54,800 to meet as a team next week and one of 2872 01:49:59,030 --> 01:49:57,440 the top priorities of the magnetospheric 2873 01:50:00,390 --> 01:49:59,040 group is to put together how do we put 2874 01:50:01,510 --> 01:50:00,400 all the data together and make them 2875 01:50:05,430 --> 01:50:01,520 available 2876 01:50:09,830 --> 01:50:05,440 people to look at 2877 01:50:11,990 --> 01:50:09,840 just as these the national space weather 2878 01:50:13,430 --> 01:50:12,000 center which is in boulder colorado at 2879 01:50:15,589 --> 01:50:13,440 the noaa 2880 01:50:18,229 --> 01:50:15,599 center there they put out space weather 2881 01:50:19,669 --> 01:50:18,239 for the earth so the the magnetic field 2882 01:50:21,270 --> 01:50:19,679 and the energetic particles that 2883 01:50:23,669 --> 01:50:21,280 generate the earth's aurora you can go 2884 01:50:25,830 --> 01:50:23,679 see them generated by nasa and other 2885 01:50:27,430 --> 01:50:25,840 spacecraft you can just go onto their 2886 01:50:29,189 --> 01:50:27,440 website and see what's happening now in 2887 01:50:31,910 --> 01:50:29,199 space weather we want to do the same 2888 01:50:35,109 --> 01:50:31,920 with juno uh jupiter's weather using 2889 01:50:37,430 --> 01:50:35,119 juno so you'll be able to look at the uh 2890 01:50:39,990 --> 01:50:37,440 juno space weather jupiter space weather 2891 01:50:42,790 --> 01:50:40,000 same way so this is the new way of doing 2892 01:50:44,709 --> 01:50:42,800 business just like twitter we're growing 2893 01:50:48,950 --> 01:50:44,719 up finally and making it available to 2894 01:50:48,960 --> 01:50:51,510 okay 2895 01:50:56,550 --> 01:50:53,109 we can do 2896 01:50:57,830 --> 01:50:56,560 see our next speaker hydrating over 2897 01:50:59,030 --> 01:50:57,840 there which is a very good idea and i 2898 01:51:01,589 --> 01:50:59,040 encourage everyone to keep doing the 2899 01:51:04,709 --> 01:51:01,599 same so how about one quick question 2900 01:51:08,790 --> 01:51:06,870 hi don schwartz uh 2901 01:51:11,109 --> 01:51:08,800 the question is it keeps on coming up 2902 01:51:13,430 --> 01:51:11,119 about the duration and the lifetimes of 2903 01:51:15,990 --> 01:51:13,440 the people involved in the long projects 2904 01:51:18,070 --> 01:51:16,000 well is there a way 2905 01:51:20,870 --> 01:51:18,080 short of using gravity assist that we 2906 01:51:22,390 --> 01:51:20,880 can bypass gravity assist and how fast 2907 01:51:24,629 --> 01:51:22,400 would the actually the spacecraft have 2908 01:51:26,870 --> 01:51:24,639 to go substantially cut down the time of 2909 01:51:29,430 --> 01:51:26,880 these missions 2910 01:51:30,950 --> 01:51:29,440 the the wave well let me use juno as an 2911 01:51:32,790 --> 01:51:30,960 example 2912 01:51:34,550 --> 01:51:32,800 in in the early days we looked at could 2913 01:51:37,430 --> 01:51:34,560 we go direct and that would take three 2914 01:51:40,070 --> 01:51:37,440 years to get to jupiter and so it comes 2915 01:51:41,510 --> 01:51:40,080 down to a bigger launch vehicle for less 2916 01:51:43,750 --> 01:51:41,520 you know if if we had bigger launch 2917 01:51:46,709 --> 01:51:43,760 vehicle for the same price 2918 01:51:51,030 --> 01:51:48,870 oh like solar electric propulsion and 2919 01:51:53,350 --> 01:51:51,040 those kind uh for this kind of mission 2920 01:51:55,350 --> 01:51:53,360 it didn't it doesn't really help that 2921 01:51:57,189 --> 01:51:55,360 like i mean the dawn spacecraft is now 2922 01:51:58,629 --> 01:51:57,199 at vesta and it's orbiting and that's 2923 01:51:59,990 --> 01:51:58,639 the reason it got there is a solar 2924 01:52:02,310 --> 01:52:00,000 electric propulsion 2925 01:52:03,669 --> 01:52:02,320 for going out to jupiter we're going so 2926 01:52:05,750 --> 01:52:03,679 fast 2927 01:52:07,350 --> 01:52:05,760 anyway to get out there that solar 2928 01:52:09,189 --> 01:52:07,360 electric propulsion didn't really help 2929 01:52:12,229 --> 01:52:09,199 us but we looked at that early on to see 2930 01:52:14,709 --> 01:52:12,239 if it would help so 2931 01:52:16,950 --> 01:52:14,719 some like solar i'm a big fan of 2932 01:52:18,550 --> 01:52:16,960 electric propulsion so and that really 2933 01:52:20,310 --> 01:52:18,560 works for 2934 01:52:21,830 --> 01:52:20,320 rendezvousing with asteroids and things 2935 01:52:23,510 --> 01:52:21,840 that don't have much mass but jupiter 2936 01:52:25,350 --> 01:52:23,520 has so much mass 2937 01:52:27,030 --> 01:52:25,360 that we're using that to our advantage 2938 01:52:29,109 --> 01:52:27,040 when we get there so it's helping us 2939 01:52:30,629 --> 01:52:29,119 stop and and get into orbit and things 2940 01:52:32,629 --> 01:52:30,639 like that so 2941 01:52:40,709 --> 01:52:32,639 good question 2942 01:52:40,719 --> 01:52:51,189 thank you 2943 01:52:55,270 --> 01:52:53,669 okay we're coming to a close just about 2944 01:52:58,629 --> 01:52:55,280 on the speaking portion our final 2945 01:53:00,870 --> 01:52:58,639 speaker today is chris brocius he is the 2946 01:53:02,550 --> 01:53:00,880 chief systems engineer for juno for 2947 01:53:03,430 --> 01:53:02,560 lockheed martin and he can tell you a 2948 01:53:05,350 --> 01:53:03,440 little bit from an engineering 2949 01:53:06,870 --> 01:53:05,360 perspective how the heck this remarkable 2950 01:53:10,149 --> 01:53:06,880 spacecraft came together and how they 2951 01:53:12,709 --> 01:53:10,159 built it with that chris 2952 01:53:14,149 --> 01:53:12,719 thank you very much 2953 01:53:16,149 --> 01:53:14,159 this is this is really a great 2954 01:53:18,149 --> 01:53:16,159 opportunity i want to share some some 2955 01:53:19,669 --> 01:53:18,159 interesting facts engineering hopefully 2956 01:53:21,750 --> 01:53:19,679 you guys are interested in how we put 2957 01:53:24,790 --> 01:53:21,760 the spacecraft together and what it's 2958 01:53:26,950 --> 01:53:24,800 made of and and how it all works 2959 01:53:28,550 --> 01:53:26,960 the spacecraft was born in denver at the 2960 01:53:30,870 --> 01:53:28,560 lockheed martin facility that's where we 2961 01:53:35,430 --> 01:53:30,880 build all of our planetaries 2962 01:53:38,629 --> 01:53:36,950 we've all seen how big these solar 2963 01:53:39,990 --> 01:53:38,639 arrays are right 2964 01:53:43,270 --> 01:53:40,000 there's 18 2965 01:53:44,629 --> 01:53:43,280 600 solar cells on there 2966 01:53:46,629 --> 01:53:44,639 and i have one here if you want to take 2967 01:53:48,550 --> 01:53:46,639 a look at it it is a very high 2968 01:53:49,430 --> 01:53:48,560 efficiency cell it's a triple junction 2969 01:53:51,189 --> 01:53:49,440 cell 2970 01:53:53,589 --> 01:53:51,199 and we actually had 2971 01:53:55,109 --> 01:53:53,599 almost twice as many of these things 2972 01:53:56,629 --> 01:53:55,119 built so we could cherry pick them to 2973 01:53:58,070 --> 01:53:56,639 get the very best performance for this 2974 01:54:00,310 --> 01:53:58,080 mission 2975 01:54:03,189 --> 01:54:00,320 you guys might have heard that 2976 01:54:05,750 --> 01:54:03,199 out at jupiter the sun isn't very bright 2977 01:54:07,510 --> 01:54:05,760 and the solar arrays produce about 450 2978 01:54:08,390 --> 01:54:07,520 watts normally over the course of the 2979 01:54:09,990 --> 01:54:08,400 mission 2980 01:54:11,910 --> 01:54:10,000 that won't even run a hair dryer you 2981 01:54:13,669 --> 01:54:11,920 know that won't even power those lights 2982 01:54:15,030 --> 01:54:13,679 over there so we had to design the 2983 01:54:16,950 --> 01:54:15,040 mission to be very electrically 2984 01:54:19,030 --> 01:54:16,960 efficient we needed the most efficient 2985 01:54:21,350 --> 01:54:19,040 solar cells we could 2986 01:54:24,550 --> 01:54:21,360 conversely those big arrays here at 2987 01:54:26,070 --> 01:54:24,560 earth they produce almost 19 000 watts 2988 01:54:27,910 --> 01:54:26,080 that could power a couple of houses 2989 01:54:30,870 --> 01:54:27,920 easily so you kind of get a perspective 2990 01:54:31,910 --> 01:54:30,880 of the of the change that uh juno goes 2991 01:54:33,830 --> 01:54:31,920 through 2992 01:54:35,830 --> 01:54:33,840 we also had to design the power system 2993 01:54:37,430 --> 01:54:35,840 so that when it's close to earth we're 2994 01:54:39,030 --> 01:54:37,440 not generating that much power because 2995 01:54:41,430 --> 01:54:39,040 that would blow the batteries to pieces 2996 01:54:42,950 --> 01:54:41,440 it would fry the all the electronics so 2997 01:54:45,270 --> 01:54:42,960 we had to make it very smart and very 2998 01:54:47,589 --> 01:54:45,280 sophisticated so it knows where it is 2999 01:54:52,470 --> 01:54:47,599 with respect to the sun and it knows how 3000 01:54:55,030 --> 01:54:54,229 another thing that's really interesting 3001 01:54:57,109 --> 01:54:55,040 about 3002 01:54:59,030 --> 01:54:57,119 this particular spacecraft 3003 01:55:01,030 --> 01:54:59,040 is this block underneath the high gain 3004 01:55:02,550 --> 01:55:01,040 antenna here called the vault 3005 01:55:04,229 --> 01:55:02,560 you guys have heard about what a 3006 01:55:06,149 --> 01:55:04,239 wonderful place jupiter is and all the 3007 01:55:08,070 --> 01:55:06,159 secrets that are there but i'll tell you 3008 01:55:11,109 --> 01:55:08,080 from an engineering perspective it's 3009 01:55:13,430 --> 01:55:11,119 also really nasty the radiation is just 3010 01:55:15,030 --> 01:55:13,440 unbelievable it's a it's a unique 3011 01:55:17,589 --> 01:55:15,040 radiation field 3012 01:55:18,470 --> 01:55:17,599 mostly dominated by electrons 3013 01:55:20,470 --> 01:55:18,480 and it 3014 01:55:22,149 --> 01:55:20,480 posed some very interesting engineering 3015 01:55:23,910 --> 01:55:22,159 challenges for us because we had to 3016 01:55:25,510 --> 01:55:23,920 figure out how to shield all the 3017 01:55:27,270 --> 01:55:25,520 electronics in there 3018 01:55:28,709 --> 01:55:27,280 so they would survive that steve talked 3019 01:55:29,589 --> 01:55:28,719 a little bit about how at the end of the 3020 01:55:31,910 --> 01:55:29,599 mission 3021 01:55:34,870 --> 01:55:31,920 we've accumulated as much radiation as 3022 01:55:36,149 --> 01:55:34,880 we can tolerate that is absolutely true 3023 01:55:39,270 --> 01:55:36,159 the vault 3024 01:55:40,709 --> 01:55:39,280 as it stands right now 3025 01:55:41,910 --> 01:55:40,719 is made out of this material here 3026 01:55:45,189 --> 01:55:41,920 titanium 3027 01:55:47,669 --> 01:55:45,199 this because it's got some excellent 3028 01:55:49,910 --> 01:55:47,679 shielding characteristics 3029 01:55:52,149 --> 01:55:49,920 the uh the vault is very much tailored 3030 01:55:53,589 --> 01:55:52,159 because we are so weight conscious some 3031 01:55:55,430 --> 01:55:53,599 of the panels are a quarter of an inch 3032 01:55:57,350 --> 01:55:55,440 thick other ones are half an inch thick 3033 01:56:00,709 --> 01:55:57,360 depending on what's around them and will 3034 01:56:03,430 --> 01:56:00,719 take advantage of shielding but overall 3035 01:56:04,709 --> 01:56:03,440 the vault produces about a factor of 3036 01:56:07,109 --> 01:56:04,719 4000 3037 01:56:08,550 --> 01:56:07,119 in radiation reduction so it does an 3038 01:56:12,790 --> 01:56:08,560 outstanding job of protecting our 3039 01:56:16,229 --> 01:56:14,629 we originally back in the days when 3040 01:56:17,510 --> 01:56:16,239 steve was working the proposal had 3041 01:56:19,430 --> 01:56:17,520 thought that we were going to use a 3042 01:56:20,790 --> 01:56:19,440 material 3043 01:56:24,950 --> 01:56:20,800 tantalum 3044 01:56:27,589 --> 01:56:24,960 vault very much like this material here 3045 01:56:30,229 --> 01:56:27,599 tungsten it's very dense very heavy also 3046 01:56:31,990 --> 01:56:30,239 has some nice characteristics but we 3047 01:56:33,030 --> 01:56:32,000 realized when we started designing and 3048 01:56:35,750 --> 01:56:33,040 figuring out how we're going to build 3049 01:56:37,109 --> 01:56:35,760 the vault that it's hard to glue things 3050 01:56:39,990 --> 01:56:37,119 to tantalum 3051 01:56:41,910 --> 01:56:40,000 we can't do that very well and in the 3052 01:56:44,390 --> 01:56:41,920 nasty environment a space where it's hot 3053 01:56:45,990 --> 01:56:44,400 and it's cold and vacuum we don't we 3054 01:56:48,470 --> 01:56:46,000 didn't have any qualified processes that 3055 01:56:50,310 --> 01:56:48,480 we could trust to use that material 3056 01:56:53,669 --> 01:56:50,320 so right before our critical design 3057 01:56:55,109 --> 01:56:53,679 review we switched to titanium which is 3058 01:56:56,950 --> 01:56:55,119 one of our favorite materials we know 3059 01:56:58,229 --> 01:56:56,960 how to use it it added a little bit of 3060 01:57:03,430 --> 01:56:58,239 weight overall but it was the right 3061 01:57:06,350 --> 01:57:05,270 the spacecraft is big you've heard about 3062 01:57:09,589 --> 01:57:06,360 it it's 3063 01:57:12,709 --> 01:57:09,599 3625 kilograms about 2 000 kilograms of 3064 01:57:14,470 --> 01:57:12,719 fuel that's about 500 gallons of 3065 01:57:16,229 --> 01:57:14,480 propellants total 3066 01:57:17,669 --> 01:57:16,239 for those of you that are interested 3067 01:57:19,510 --> 01:57:17,679 about the environment and things like 3068 01:57:22,550 --> 01:57:19,520 that we have figured out our miles per 3069 01:57:25,109 --> 01:57:22,560 gallon on juno it's almost 3.8 million 3070 01:57:26,870 --> 01:57:25,119 miles per gallon 3071 01:57:30,149 --> 01:57:26,880 so well it's pretty good for a hybrid 3072 01:57:34,149 --> 01:57:32,390 and then finally the last thing that was 3073 01:57:36,550 --> 01:57:34,159 very challenging about this radiation 3074 01:57:39,189 --> 01:57:36,560 field it's uh it's definitely one of the 3075 01:57:41,350 --> 01:57:39,199 most strongest engineering nemesis you 3076 01:57:43,030 --> 01:57:41,360 can think of is it because it's electron 3077 01:57:46,070 --> 01:57:43,040 species dominated 3078 01:57:48,310 --> 01:57:46,080 it acts a lot like people do with wool 3079 01:57:49,350 --> 01:57:48,320 socks on running across a carpet in the 3080 01:57:52,550 --> 01:57:49,360 wintertime 3081 01:57:55,030 --> 01:57:52,560 it generates a ton of static electricity 3082 01:57:56,950 --> 01:57:55,040 in fact it generates so much electricity 3083 01:57:58,790 --> 01:57:56,960 that if we didn't do something we could 3084 01:58:01,510 --> 01:57:58,800 get tens of thousands of volts of 3085 01:58:03,109 --> 01:58:01,520 discharge within the spacecraft itself 3086 01:58:04,950 --> 01:58:03,119 all the dielectric materials the 3087 01:58:07,910 --> 01:58:04,960 materials that don't conduct 3088 01:58:09,750 --> 01:58:07,920 electricity the electrons lodge in there 3089 01:58:11,350 --> 01:58:09,760 and they stay in there but they don't 3090 01:58:13,669 --> 01:58:11,360 like to stay in there once they get too 3091 01:58:15,910 --> 01:58:13,679 crowded and they discharge like a static 3092 01:58:17,510 --> 01:58:15,920 shock like you get in the winter time 3093 01:58:19,830 --> 01:58:17,520 we couldn't tolerate that so we had to 3094 01:58:22,070 --> 01:58:19,840 design and build the spacecraft to give 3095 01:58:24,310 --> 01:58:22,080 a path to everything for those electrons 3096 01:58:26,950 --> 01:58:24,320 to escape so we couldn't get that type 3097 01:58:28,709 --> 01:58:26,960 of potential and that turned out to be a 3098 01:58:30,790 --> 01:58:28,719 big engineering challenge 3099 01:58:32,470 --> 01:58:30,800 the the the atlo folks that actually 3100 01:58:34,229 --> 01:58:32,480 built the vehicle they hated us because 3101 01:58:36,629 --> 01:58:34,239 we made them run ground wires all over 3102 01:58:38,790 --> 01:58:36,639 the place and shielding and use special 3103 01:58:40,310 --> 01:58:38,800 compounds that are conductive 3104 01:58:43,830 --> 01:58:40,320 we actually are using 3105 01:58:45,750 --> 01:58:43,840 carbon nanotubes to cloak to coat the 3106 01:58:47,109 --> 01:58:45,760 thruster towers here 3107 01:58:48,149 --> 01:58:47,119 that turns out to be an excellent 3108 01:58:51,270 --> 01:58:48,159 material for that because it's 3109 01:58:53,430 --> 01:58:51,280 conductive it's very strong and 3110 01:58:54,950 --> 01:58:53,440 it turned out to be very nice so we 3111 01:58:57,669 --> 01:58:54,960 actually have some state-of-the-art 3112 01:58:59,910 --> 01:58:57,679 technology in there as well 3113 01:59:01,669 --> 01:58:59,920 do you guys have any questions 3114 01:59:06,709 --> 01:59:01,679 yes 3115 01:59:10,149 --> 01:59:08,629 sound is one first 3116 01:59:12,070 --> 01:59:10,159 you mentioned the vault gives a four 3117 01:59:13,990 --> 01:59:12,080 thousand times attenuation of the 3118 01:59:17,189 --> 01:59:14,000 radiation and my question is first of 3119 01:59:17,910 --> 01:59:17,199 all is that enough and secondly how do 3120 01:59:20,709 --> 01:59:17,920 you 3121 01:59:22,310 --> 01:59:20,719 simulate that environment for testing ah 3122 01:59:24,709 --> 01:59:22,320 that good question 3123 01:59:26,550 --> 01:59:24,719 first off yes it's in us it's enough you 3124 01:59:29,189 --> 01:59:26,560 know engineers by nature are very 3125 01:59:31,510 --> 01:59:29,199 conservative and we never like to to uh 3126 01:59:33,830 --> 01:59:31,520 to cut it right on the edge so we have a 3127 01:59:35,990 --> 01:59:33,840 radiation design margin of two 3128 01:59:38,229 --> 01:59:36,000 so we actually only need a factor of two 3129 01:59:39,589 --> 01:59:38,239 thousand based on the components that 3130 01:59:41,350 --> 01:59:39,599 are in there 3131 01:59:43,990 --> 01:59:41,360 to simulate and test that is very 3132 01:59:47,030 --> 01:59:44,000 difficult uh we have not put the vault 3133 01:59:48,390 --> 01:59:47,040 in a in a chamber and bombed it to see 3134 01:59:50,709 --> 01:59:48,400 what comes in on the other side that's 3135 01:59:53,270 --> 01:59:50,719 all done analytically 3136 01:59:55,189 --> 01:59:53,280 we do test all the individual components 3137 01:59:56,950 --> 01:59:55,199 though representative samples lot 3138 01:59:58,470 --> 01:59:56,960 accepting test of radiation so we know 3139 02:00:00,470 --> 01:59:58,480 what pieces can tolerate 3140 02:00:02,149 --> 02:00:00,480 so we know how sensitive they are and 3141 02:00:04,790 --> 02:00:02,159 then we've used some very sophisticated 3142 02:00:07,350 --> 02:00:04,800 computer modeling tools to simulate 3143 02:00:08,950 --> 02:00:07,360 the jovian radiation its impact on the 3144 02:00:11,350 --> 02:00:08,960 vault what gets through and what that 3145 02:00:12,790 --> 02:00:11,360 does to the individual pieces so that's 3146 02:00:14,149 --> 02:00:12,800 that's how that's done excellent 3147 02:00:15,830 --> 02:00:14,159 question 3148 02:00:18,390 --> 02:00:15,840 chris while we're taking q a did you 3149 02:00:19,669 --> 02:00:18,400 want to pass the samples around there's 3150 02:00:22,629 --> 02:00:19,679 a way that people can see them 3151 02:00:24,390 --> 02:00:22,639 absolutely we'll give you a hand 3152 02:00:26,790 --> 02:00:24,400 here's a solar array 3153 02:00:29,189 --> 02:00:26,800 i do need that back 3154 02:00:31,510 --> 02:00:29,199 please 3155 02:00:33,270 --> 02:00:31,520 and then here is some tungsten aluminum 3156 02:00:34,310 --> 02:00:33,280 and titanium 3157 02:00:36,229 --> 02:00:34,320 again 3158 02:00:37,750 --> 02:00:36,239 aluminum and titanium are pretty common 3159 02:00:39,030 --> 02:00:37,760 for spacecraft the tungsten is a little 3160 02:00:45,109 --> 02:00:39,040 bit different it's very close to 3161 02:00:49,270 --> 02:00:46,709 yes 3162 02:00:50,950 --> 02:00:49,280 hi um i've actually got a question from 3163 02:00:53,430 --> 02:00:50,960 one of my twitter followers who i 3164 02:00:55,830 --> 02:00:53,440 moderate some ustreams with um he wants 3165 02:00:57,589 --> 02:00:55,840 to know how many of the solar cells you 3166 02:00:59,430 --> 02:00:57,599 lose during the mission and the types of 3167 02:01:01,189 --> 02:00:59,440 failures failures you'll see and if it 3168 02:01:02,550 --> 02:01:01,199 hits anything on the way 3169 02:01:03,910 --> 02:01:02,560 we're expecting to lose somewhere 3170 02:01:04,950 --> 02:01:03,920 between five and ten percent of the 3171 02:01:07,030 --> 02:01:04,960 cells 3172 02:01:09,430 --> 02:01:07,040 some of them just die because of age and 3173 02:01:11,350 --> 02:01:09,440 attrition we have cherry picked them to 3174 02:01:13,270 --> 02:01:11,360 try to get the very best ones 3175 02:01:16,070 --> 02:01:13,280 we also lose a few to what's called 3176 02:01:18,149 --> 02:01:16,080 micrometeoroids the little bits of dust 3177 02:01:20,470 --> 02:01:18,159 that are in interstellar space 3178 02:01:23,109 --> 02:01:20,480 and those things actually can impact the 3179 02:01:25,430 --> 02:01:23,119 glass and etch the glass and 3180 02:01:26,950 --> 02:01:25,440 lose the cell that way we may also take 3181 02:01:27,830 --> 02:01:26,960 a break in one of the wires by one of 3182 02:01:30,629 --> 02:01:27,840 these 3183 02:01:32,470 --> 02:01:30,639 micrometeoroids so we do plan to lose 3184 02:01:35,109 --> 02:01:32,480 some solar cells 3185 02:01:37,109 --> 02:01:35,119 we do provide extra power capability 3186 02:01:39,270 --> 02:01:37,119 for that eventuality so that after we 3187 02:01:41,669 --> 02:01:39,280 have lost the cells we're going to we 3188 02:01:44,070 --> 02:01:41,679 can still get the mission done 3189 02:01:46,550 --> 02:01:44,080 question here in the back yes 3190 02:01:48,950 --> 02:01:46,560 uh space rated uh electronics tend to be 3191 02:01:50,950 --> 02:01:48,960 pretty old so like what is the power 3192 02:01:53,109 --> 02:01:50,960 levels of the computers on here like 3193 02:01:54,550 --> 02:01:53,119 compared to you know a modern personal 3194 02:01:56,229 --> 02:01:54,560 computer kind of thing 3195 02:01:58,870 --> 02:01:56,239 actually our flight computers are very 3196 02:02:00,629 --> 02:01:58,880 modern they're power pc based it's uh 3197 02:02:03,189 --> 02:02:00,639 it's a radiation hard chip called the 3198 02:02:06,310 --> 02:02:03,199 rad 750 and it's very comparable to 3199 02:02:09,030 --> 02:02:06,320 what's in a mac right now the overall 3200 02:02:11,750 --> 02:02:09,040 flight computers uh use about 30 watts 3201 02:02:14,149 --> 02:02:11,760 of power each one so they're not you 3202 02:02:15,430 --> 02:02:14,159 know overly constrained we actually do 3203 02:02:17,830 --> 02:02:15,440 have a lot of state-of-the-art 3204 02:02:18,790 --> 02:02:17,840 electronics in there now for a couple of 3205 02:02:21,189 --> 02:02:18,800 reasons 3206 02:02:22,870 --> 02:02:21,199 one the uh we need the radiation 3207 02:02:24,629 --> 02:02:22,880 tolerance and and 3208 02:02:26,709 --> 02:02:24,639 you need you need that for this mission 3209 02:02:28,070 --> 02:02:26,719 more than anything else and two because 3210 02:02:29,830 --> 02:02:28,080 the mission is so long we need high 3211 02:02:32,149 --> 02:02:29,840 reliability parts we need to make sure 3212 02:02:35,430 --> 02:02:32,159 these things are going to last and not 3213 02:02:37,750 --> 02:02:35,440 fail before the end of the mission 3214 02:02:39,270 --> 02:02:37,760 question here on the side 3215 02:02:40,390 --> 02:02:39,280 yes 3216 02:02:42,709 --> 02:02:40,400 uh what 3217 02:02:44,550 --> 02:02:42,719 what what is the 3218 02:02:45,750 --> 02:02:44,560 what kind of fail safes have been put 3219 02:02:46,470 --> 02:02:45,760 into 3220 02:02:50,550 --> 02:02:46,480 the 3221 02:02:52,229 --> 02:02:50,560 something catastrophic goes wrong i mean 3222 02:02:53,990 --> 02:02:52,239 we had problems with the mars rovers 3223 02:02:55,910 --> 02:02:54,000 where it basically just went to sleep 3224 02:02:57,350 --> 02:02:55,920 and we kind of like hoped that you know 3225 02:02:59,189 --> 02:02:57,360 something would the system would 3226 02:03:01,109 --> 02:02:59,199 basically restart itself i mean if we 3227 02:03:03,350 --> 02:03:01,119 completely lose everything 3228 02:03:05,030 --> 02:03:03,360 and juno vanishes 3229 02:03:10,629 --> 02:03:05,040 what is it going to do to become 3230 02:03:14,790 --> 02:03:13,109 that's an excellent question 3231 02:03:15,910 --> 02:03:14,800 this spacecraft is designed to take care 3232 02:03:18,790 --> 02:03:15,920 of itself 3233 02:03:20,629 --> 02:03:18,800 it's it's almost self-aware um it's not 3234 02:03:23,109 --> 02:03:20,639 got artificial intelligence on it but it 3235 02:03:25,910 --> 02:03:23,119 does constantly monitor its health its 3236 02:03:28,149 --> 02:03:25,920 status we have whole pieces of software 3237 02:03:29,910 --> 02:03:28,159 and whole whole chips that do nothing 3238 02:03:31,990 --> 02:03:29,920 but make sure that the spacecraft is 3239 02:03:33,350 --> 02:03:32,000 okay and that everything is working the 3240 02:03:35,109 --> 02:03:33,360 way it's supposed to 3241 02:03:37,030 --> 02:03:35,119 it is what we call 3242 02:03:39,830 --> 02:03:37,040 dual string design so it has two 3243 02:03:42,070 --> 02:03:39,840 complete sets of avionics the sensors 3244 02:03:45,270 --> 02:03:42,080 are cross-strapped so computer a can 3245 02:03:46,470 --> 02:03:45,280 talk to this the star camera a or b same 3246 02:03:48,629 --> 02:03:46,480 thing with the inertial measurement 3247 02:03:50,709 --> 02:03:48,639 units everything's cross strap so that 3248 02:03:52,550 --> 02:03:50,719 if you have an issue 3249 02:03:54,629 --> 02:03:52,560 the computer who is currently running 3250 02:03:57,270 --> 02:03:54,639 can talk to all the other components on 3251 02:03:59,189 --> 02:03:57,280 the spacecraft we also have a pretty 3252 02:04:01,990 --> 02:03:59,199 neat setup that has been evolving for 3253 02:04:04,229 --> 02:04:02,000 our planetary spacecraft back from mro 3254 02:04:06,229 --> 02:04:04,239 all the way back to the magellan days 3255 02:04:08,069 --> 02:04:06,239 where if one computer gets in trouble 3256 02:04:09,990 --> 02:04:08,079 the system is designed to take that 3257 02:04:11,510 --> 02:04:10,000 computer off and bring the other one up 3258 02:04:13,910 --> 02:04:11,520 and the other one comes up in what's 3259 02:04:15,990 --> 02:04:13,920 called safe mode and that's a very happy 3260 02:04:18,550 --> 02:04:16,000 place for the spacecraft where it just 3261 02:04:20,229 --> 02:04:18,560 sits there it goes to a minimum power it 3262 02:04:22,550 --> 02:04:20,239 points to the sun to make sure that it's 3263 02:04:24,310 --> 02:04:22,560 got lots of power available and it waits 3264 02:04:26,310 --> 02:04:24,320 for the ground to come in and figure it 3265 02:04:28,310 --> 02:04:26,320 out and that's really important for this 3266 02:04:29,510 --> 02:04:28,320 mission because if something does happen 3267 02:04:31,830 --> 02:04:29,520 at jupiter 3268 02:04:33,350 --> 02:04:31,840 it takes the spacecraft an hour 3269 02:04:34,950 --> 02:04:33,360 for that information to get back to 3270 02:04:36,550 --> 02:04:34,960 earth because of the one-way lifetime 3271 02:04:38,390 --> 02:04:36,560 we're that far away you just can't get 3272 02:04:40,229 --> 02:04:38,400 your head around how far that is 3273 02:04:42,229 --> 02:04:40,239 so when the ground sees a problem it'll 3274 02:04:44,790 --> 02:04:42,239 take the ground guys probably a few 3275 02:04:46,790 --> 02:04:44,800 hours at best to figure out what to do 3276 02:04:48,149 --> 02:04:46,800 and they send some commands up there's 3277 02:04:49,510 --> 02:04:48,159 another hour just to get back to the 3278 02:04:50,950 --> 02:04:49,520 spacecraft 3279 02:04:52,709 --> 02:04:50,960 by that time 3280 02:04:54,229 --> 02:04:52,719 the spacecraft could have been long dead 3281 02:04:56,390 --> 02:04:54,239 and that's something that we we don't 3282 02:04:58,149 --> 02:04:56,400 want so we've purposely designed this 3283 02:05:00,390 --> 02:04:58,159 thing to take care of itself giving it 3284 02:05:02,069 --> 02:05:00,400 lots of redundancy and the the 3285 02:05:04,470 --> 02:05:02,079 fail-safes that it can jump to the other 3286 02:05:05,830 --> 02:05:04,480 side if necessary 3287 02:05:07,589 --> 02:05:05,840 let me pause see if there are any 3288 02:05:09,910 --> 02:05:07,599 questions on that side nope we got one 3289 02:05:12,149 --> 02:05:09,920 right here yep 3290 02:05:13,830 --> 02:05:12,159 hey uh how much uh and what kind of 3291 02:05:15,910 --> 02:05:13,840 engineering data is sent back at a 3292 02:05:17,510 --> 02:05:15,920 regular basis and is it constantly sent 3293 02:05:20,310 --> 02:05:17,520 back is it sent back in 3294 02:05:22,709 --> 02:05:20,320 packets every couple of hours the answer 3295 02:05:25,510 --> 02:05:22,719 is yes yes and yes 3296 02:05:27,510 --> 02:05:25,520 we have almost 30 000 individual 3297 02:05:29,430 --> 02:05:27,520 telemetry parameters that can beam back 3298 02:05:31,910 --> 02:05:29,440 from the spacecraft we monitor 3299 02:05:34,390 --> 02:05:31,920 everything from temperatures at at the 3300 02:05:35,990 --> 02:05:34,400 end of the instrument boom to how much 3301 02:05:38,229 --> 02:05:36,000 utilization is being used by the 3302 02:05:40,310 --> 02:05:38,239 computer at the time to the individual 3303 02:05:42,310 --> 02:05:40,320 states on the battery cells 3304 02:05:44,149 --> 02:05:42,320 there's a pretty sophisticated system 3305 02:05:45,350 --> 02:05:44,159 inside which takes all of these 3306 02:05:47,270 --> 02:05:45,360 measurements 3307 02:05:49,270 --> 02:05:47,280 and beams them back at specific 3308 02:05:51,270 --> 02:05:49,280 intervals and specific frequencies some 3309 02:05:53,109 --> 02:05:51,280 things were much more interested 3310 02:05:55,270 --> 02:05:53,119 than other things because they change 3311 02:05:56,950 --> 02:05:55,280 slower or perhaps it's more important 3312 02:05:58,470 --> 02:05:56,960 temperatures generally come back once a 3313 02:05:59,910 --> 02:05:58,480 minute because temperatures just don't 3314 02:06:01,430 --> 02:05:59,920 change that fast 3315 02:06:02,950 --> 02:06:01,440 during the middle of a burn you're 3316 02:06:04,870 --> 02:06:02,960 really interested in delta v that's 3317 02:06:07,270 --> 02:06:04,880 being accumulated we'll send that back 3318 02:06:09,030 --> 02:06:07,280 at 100 millisecond intervals so it 3319 02:06:11,270 --> 02:06:09,040 really depends on what part of the 3320 02:06:13,270 --> 02:06:11,280 mission is what's going on and what 3321 02:06:14,629 --> 02:06:13,280 instrumentation is important 3322 02:06:16,550 --> 02:06:14,639 the telemetry system is also 3323 02:06:17,910 --> 02:06:16,560 programmable so if we see something we 3324 02:06:20,149 --> 02:06:17,920 learn something about the spacecraft 3325 02:06:22,310 --> 02:06:20,159 while it's in flight we can change when 3326 02:06:24,069 --> 02:06:22,320 information comes back we can change how 3327 02:06:26,229 --> 02:06:24,079 fast it comes back in case we need to 3328 02:06:28,830 --> 02:06:26,239 look at something or something else or 3329 02:06:31,669 --> 02:06:28,840 something more frequently so it's very 3330 02:06:37,430 --> 02:06:31,679 flexible okay question here in the back 3331 02:06:43,270 --> 02:06:41,030 oh sorry hi um i have a question about 3332 02:06:45,510 --> 02:06:43,280 um we all are kind of aware of the rich 3333 02:06:47,030 --> 02:06:45,520 history that nasa possesses with space 3334 02:06:48,629 --> 02:06:47,040 probes from 3335 02:06:51,990 --> 02:06:48,639 pioneer 3336 02:06:53,589 --> 02:06:52,000 to a voyager to the more modern missions 3337 02:06:55,109 --> 02:06:53,599 is there anything specific you can think 3338 02:06:57,910 --> 02:06:55,119 of that you may have learned from 3339 02:06:59,750 --> 02:06:57,920 previous missions to jupiter that you 3340 02:07:04,550 --> 02:06:59,760 can apply to 3341 02:07:07,990 --> 02:07:06,310 the easiest one of course is galileo 3342 02:07:10,470 --> 02:07:08,000 because galileo gave us some very good 3343 02:07:12,709 --> 02:07:10,480 radiation data about the planet it 3344 02:07:14,470 --> 02:07:12,719 didn't get as close as juno is going to 3345 02:07:15,910 --> 02:07:14,480 get but it gave us an excellent idea of 3346 02:07:17,430 --> 02:07:15,920 what to expect when we get there 3347 02:07:18,709 --> 02:07:17,440 radiation wise 3348 02:07:22,069 --> 02:07:18,719 some of the other missions that we've 3349 02:07:24,149 --> 02:07:22,079 flown odyssey mro stardust we've 3350 02:07:26,069 --> 02:07:24,159 incorporated numerous lessons learned 3351 02:07:27,510 --> 02:07:26,079 from them everything from the type of 3352 02:07:29,830 --> 02:07:27,520 battery we use we're now using a 3353 02:07:31,589 --> 02:07:29,840 lithium-ion battery on this as opposed 3354 02:07:33,030 --> 02:07:31,599 to nicads which were used back on 3355 02:07:35,430 --> 02:07:33,040 magellan and 3356 02:07:37,669 --> 02:07:35,440 in the old days if you will 3357 02:07:39,990 --> 02:07:37,679 computer software that's constantly 3358 02:07:42,870 --> 02:07:40,000 evolving we've been evolving essentially 3359 02:07:45,510 --> 02:07:42,880 the same core set of software from again 3360 02:07:47,350 --> 02:07:45,520 the old days of magellan if you will all 3361 02:07:49,830 --> 02:07:47,360 the way through up and into this bird 3362 02:07:51,750 --> 02:07:49,840 now and and the stuff that is in juno 3363 02:07:53,510 --> 02:07:51,760 now is being 3364 02:07:55,910 --> 02:07:53,520 constantly involved lessons learned for 3365 02:07:57,910 --> 02:07:55,920 the next missions coming up such as 3366 02:07:59,430 --> 02:07:57,920 maven as an example 3367 02:08:01,109 --> 02:07:59,440 the grail spacecraft that are going to 3368 02:08:03,189 --> 02:08:01,119 launch about a month after we do we 3369 02:08:05,189 --> 02:08:03,199 share a lot of common software with them 3370 02:08:07,109 --> 02:08:05,199 as well so yeah we're always trying to 3371 02:08:09,910 --> 02:08:07,119 learn from the missions that have gone 3372 02:08:11,910 --> 02:08:09,920 in the past and how to fit that into the 3373 02:08:13,669 --> 02:08:11,920 spacecraft especially the the lessons 3374 02:08:18,470 --> 02:08:13,679 learned when when things don't go so 3375 02:08:18,480 --> 02:08:23,589 okay question over here in the middle 3376 02:08:27,910 --> 02:08:25,350 hi um 3377 02:08:29,990 --> 02:08:27,920 in terms of engineering the spacecraft 3378 02:08:32,069 --> 02:08:30,000 what did you expect to be the most 3379 02:08:34,069 --> 02:08:32,079 challenging aspect of it did that 3380 02:08:36,229 --> 02:08:34,079 actually turn out to be the 3381 02:08:38,629 --> 02:08:36,239 the biggest challenge and how did you 3382 02:08:40,870 --> 02:08:38,639 handle it 3383 02:08:42,870 --> 02:08:40,880 wow there's so many of them 3384 02:08:44,709 --> 02:08:42,880 um 3385 02:08:45,990 --> 02:08:44,719 one of the the biggest things that we 3386 02:08:48,149 --> 02:08:46,000 started 3387 02:08:49,109 --> 02:08:48,159 looking at right away was back in phase 3388 02:08:51,270 --> 02:08:49,119 b 3389 02:08:53,189 --> 02:08:51,280 right on the side of the spacecraft here 3390 02:08:55,189 --> 02:08:53,199 on the upper deck we have these two 3391 02:08:56,390 --> 02:08:55,199 cameras they're called stellar reference 3392 02:08:58,790 --> 02:08:56,400 units 3393 02:09:01,030 --> 02:08:58,800 and their whole objective is to figure 3394 02:09:03,669 --> 02:09:01,040 out where we're pointed in in space and 3395 02:09:05,270 --> 02:09:03,679 they do that by looking at the stars as 3396 02:09:06,550 --> 02:09:05,280 we're spinning by 3397 02:09:08,149 --> 02:09:06,560 and we can figure out where we're 3398 02:09:10,149 --> 02:09:08,159 pointed in time based on the star 3399 02:09:11,910 --> 02:09:10,159 pattern that we're looking at 3400 02:09:13,669 --> 02:09:11,920 to make that work for a spinner is a lot 3401 02:09:14,470 --> 02:09:13,679 more complicated than making it work for 3402 02:09:48,229 --> 02:09:14,480 a 3403 02:09:49,750 --> 02:09:48,239 while the whole screen is moving while 3404 02:09:51,510 --> 02:09:49,760 all these stars are streaming by so we 3405 02:09:53,990 --> 02:09:51,520 could actually identify real stars as 3406 02:09:55,990 --> 02:09:54,000 opposed to the noise so we could come up 3407 02:09:57,750 --> 02:09:56,000 with our attitude solutions so we knew 3408 02:09:59,350 --> 02:09:57,760 exactly where we were pointed 3409 02:10:00,950 --> 02:09:59,360 and of course that's critical to folks 3410 02:10:03,910 --> 02:10:00,960 like the magnetometer that are trying to 3411 02:10:05,669 --> 02:10:03,920 map the magnetic field very accurately 3412 02:10:07,750 --> 02:10:05,679 that turned out to be one of the hardest 3413 02:10:09,750 --> 02:10:07,760 initial challenges and thankfully i'm 3414 02:10:11,910 --> 02:10:09,760 able to report that it's it's actually 3415 02:10:13,510 --> 02:10:11,920 working very well and we expect the star 3416 02:10:15,270 --> 02:10:13,520 cameras to have better performance than 3417 02:10:18,709 --> 02:10:15,280 their requirements because it was worked 3418 02:10:21,430 --> 02:10:18,719 so hard so that was good 3419 02:10:26,550 --> 02:10:21,440 chris let's do one more if you can sure 3420 02:10:32,629 --> 02:10:29,430 being that jupiter is so reflective uh 3421 02:10:35,350 --> 02:10:32,639 will juno be able to gather light 3422 02:10:37,990 --> 02:10:35,360 uh for its solar panels and use that 3423 02:10:40,390 --> 02:10:38,000 electricity no um 3424 02:10:42,310 --> 02:10:40,400 we're actually pointed in such a way 3425 02:10:43,350 --> 02:10:42,320 that the solar panels aren't pointed at 3426 02:10:45,109 --> 02:10:43,360 jupiter 3427 02:10:47,109 --> 02:10:45,119 there is some albedo effects and again 3428 02:10:48,790 --> 02:10:47,119 they do affect the optical experiments 3429 02:10:50,229 --> 02:10:48,800 and they do affect the the star cameras 3430 02:10:52,550 --> 02:10:50,239 but
