1 00:00:13,430 --> 00:00:11,749 this week @nasa for the first time we've 2 00:00:15,860 --> 00:00:13,440 been able to image a coronal mass 3 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:15,870 ejection with lots of detail and a 4 00:00:20,150 --> 00:00:17,850 photometric quality all the way through 5 00:00:22,310 --> 00:00:20,160 its entire lifecycle new processing 6 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:22,320 techniques used on data gathered by 7 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:25,170 NASA's stereo spacecraft will allow 8 00:00:30,980 --> 00:00:27,570 scientists to better track solar storms 9 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:30,990 before they impact earth the storms call 10 00:00:35,810 --> 00:00:33,450 coronal mass ejections or CMEs are 11 00:00:37,729 --> 00:00:35,820 observed from NASA's twin Solar 12 00:00:41,780 --> 00:00:37,739 terrestrial relations Observatory 13 00:00:44,330 --> 00:00:41,790 spacecraft launched in 2006 the data now 14 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:44,340 reveals a clear and detailed look at a 15 00:00:49,940 --> 00:00:47,010 storms front from the Sun all the way to 16 00:00:52,549 --> 00:00:49,950 earth thus reducing uncertainty of its 17 00:00:55,330 --> 00:00:52,559 arrival time with stereos five 18 00:00:57,950 --> 00:00:55,340 telescopes today we are actually 19 00:01:01,400 --> 00:00:57,960 witnessing the solar beam we can see 20 00:01:05,210 --> 00:01:01,410 them solar wind and solar storm blowing 21 00:01:07,550 --> 00:01:05,220 all the way from San torque stereo is 22 00:01:09,950 --> 00:01:07,560 part of NASA's Solar terrestrial probes 23 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:09,960 program that seeks to understand the 24 00:01:14,780 --> 00:01:12,210 fundamental physical processes of the 25 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:14,790 space environment from Sun to earth and 26 00:01:23,899 --> 00:01:21,250

show 123 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:53,520 and now centerpieces NASA's Wallops 124 00:05:57,770 --> 00:05:55,289 Flight Facility the marine science 125 00:06:00,080 --> 00:05:57,780 consortium and the US Fish and Wildlife 126 00:06:02,180 --> 00:06:00,090 Service signed a collaborative agreement 127 00:06:04,219 --> 00:06:02,190 that will specify and make possible more 128 00:06:05,629 --> 00:06:04,229 comprehensive environmental studies in 129 00:06:07,969 --> 00:06:05,639 the area we've actually created an 130 00:06:10,700 --> 00:06:07,979 agreement that allows NASA and the US 131 00:06:13,309 --> 00:06:10,710 Fish and Wildlife Service as well as the 132 00:06:15,439 --> 00:06:13,319 marine science consortium to do projects 133 00:06:17,629 --> 00:06:15,449 to create opportunities for research and 134 00:06:19,670 --> 00:06:17,639 you know hands-on applications that are 135 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:19,680 going on in the field in this region 136 00:06:25,129 --> 00:06:22,650 particularly in what we call the coastal 137 00:06:26,779 --> 00:06:25,139 zone research area the focus is in the 138 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:26,789 long term with climate change and sea 139 00:06:30,559 --> 00:06:28,650 level rise being the issue that will 140 00:06:33,230 --> 00:06:30,569 slowly over time impact the environment 141 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:33,240 around us so we're going to need better 142 00:06:39,950 --> 00:06:35,690 predictive tools better predictive 143 00:06:41,990 --> 00:06:39,960 technologies and working together with 144 00:06:45,050 --> 00:06:42,000 the universities to collect the data 145 00:06:47,719 --> 00:06:45,060 today that will answer some of those 146 00:06:50,390 --> 00:06:47,729 questions into the future is so 147 00:06:51,980 --> 00:06:50,400 important NASA the US Fish and Wildlife 148 00:06:53,990 --> 00:06:51,990 Service and the marine science 149 00:06:55,519 --> 00:06:54,000 consortium will work together and bring 150 00:06:57,950 --> 00:06:55,529 to bear each of their unique 151 00:06:59,749 --> 00:06:57,960 capabilities in an unprecedented effort 152 00:07:01,249 --> 00:06:59,759 in environmental stewardship I think 153 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:01,259 that what we can bring along with the 154 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:03,690 kind of universities is with some of the 155 00:07:08,149 --> 00:07:05,849 instrumentation that we have is to be 156 00:07:11,029 --> 00:07:08,159 able to fly overhead maybe with some of 157 00:07:13,100 --> 00:07:11,039 the UAVs so that we have here or the on 158 00:07:15,290 --> 00:07:13,110 maybe some of the tethered balloons and 159 00:07:16,490 --> 00:07:15,300 be able to get some readings and so if 160 00:07:17,869 --> 00:07:16,500 we map that out with some of the 161 00:07:19,279 --> 00:07:17,879 instrumentation we have will be able to 162 00:07:20,809 --> 00:07:19,289 say okay that's what healthy looks like 163 00:07:25,850 --> 00:07:20,819 then we know the signature looks like 164 00:07:28,100 --> 00:07:25,860 this retired NASA astronaut and test 165 00:07:29,930 --> 00:07:28,110 pilot Fred Hayes was honored recently by 166 00:07:31,909 --> 00:07:29,940 the Lancaster California jet Hawks 167 00:07:36,950 --> 00:07:31,919 baseball team during their aerospace 168 00:07:41,659 --> 00:07:39,290 Hayes is best known is one of the three 169 00:07:44,150 --> 00:07:41,669 Apollo 13 astronauts who survived a 170 00:07:45,830 --> 00:07:44,160 potential space tragedy when an oxygen 171 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:45,840 tank on their Apollo service module 172 00:07:50,809 --> 00:07:48,410 exploded on their 1970 lunar mission 173 00:07:52,820 --> 00:07:50,819 Hayes was recognized during pregame 174 00:07:54,290 --> 00:07:52,830 ceremonies by the jet Hawks and then 175 00:07:56,390 --> 00:07:54,300 threw out the first pitch before the 176 00:07:59,120 --> 00:07:56,400 team's california league game against 177 00:08:01,159 --> 00:07:59,130 the san jose giants Hayes was joined on 178 00:08:03,409 --> 00:08:01,169 the field by retired NASA astronaut 179 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:03,419 Gordon Fullerton with whom he flew three 180 00:08:06,589 --> 00:08:05,130 of the five approach and landing tests 181 00:08:10,010 --> 00:08:06,599 of the prototype Space Shuttle Orbiter 182 00:08:12,170 --> 00:08:10,020 enterprise in 1977
