00:00:14,390 --> 00:00:12,650
this week at NASA September 16th is the

2
00:00:17,060 --> 00:00:14,400
new date for three members of the

3
00:00:18,890 --> 00:00:17,070
expedition 28 crew to return home from

4
00:00:21,260 --> 00:00:18,900
the International Space Station the

5
00:00:24,590 --> 00:00:21,270
journey back to earth for andrey

00:00:35,930 --> 00:00:33,600
spacecraft in kazakhstan at 1201 a.m.

10
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:35,940
Eastern originally scheduled for

11
00:00:40,700 --> 00:00:38,250
September 8th their return had been

12
00:00:43,580 --> 00:00:40,710
postponed indefinitely after the station

13
00:00:45,500 --> 00:00:43,590
bound progress 44 spacecraft failed to

14
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:45,510
reach orbit after its August

15
00:00:56,869 --> 00:00:55,310
the arrival of this Antonov cargo

16
00:00:59,840 --> 00:00:56,879
carrier at the Wallops Flight Facility

17
00:01:02,450 --> 00:00:59,850
in Virginia signals another milestone

18
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:02,460
for NASA's partnership with industry to

19
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:05,010
resupply the International Space Station

20
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:07,050
it brought two wolves the Cygnus

21
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:10,050
spacecraft pressurized cargo module or

22
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:12,690
peacing out over the next few months the

23
00:01:16,790 --> 00:01:14,970
PCM will be integrated with the Cygnus

24
00:01:19,190 --> 00:01:16,800
service module that includes the

25
00:01:22,190 --> 00:01:19,200
spacecraft's avionics propulsion and

26
00:01:24,590 --> 00:01:22,200
power systems designed by the orbital

27
00:01:27,050 --> 00:01:24,600
sciences corporation to carry cargo and

28
00:01:28,670 --> 00:01:27,060
supplies to the ISS the Cygnus

29
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:28,680
spacecraft is scheduled for a

30
00:01:35,300 --> 00:01:32,930
demonstration flight early next year a

31
00:01:37,219 --> 00:01:35,310
lot of work is going on the final

32
00:01:39,490 --> 00:01:37,229
preparations with the launch of NASA's

33
00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:39,500
Gravity Recovery and interior laboratory

34
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:42,330
spacecraft drawing closer rail

35
00:01:46,430 --> 00:01:44,850
scientists held a pre-launch briefing to

36
00:01:48,260 --> 00:01:46,440
discuss their mission trying to

37
00:01:52,130 --> 00:01:48,270
understand how the moon formed and how

38
00:01:53,510 --> 00:01:52,140
it evolved over its history is one of

39
00:01:55,790 --> 00:01:53,520
the things we're trying to address with

40
00:01:58,069 --> 00:01:55,800
the Grail mission breil will fly twin

41
00:02:00,230 --> 00:01:58,079
spacecraft in tandem orbits around the

42
00:02:02,620 --> 00:02:00,240
moon for several months to measure its

43
00:02:05,510 --> 00:02:02,630
gravity field in exceptional detail

44
00:02:07,100 --> 00:02:05,520
Grail is expected to answer persistent

45
00:02:10,310 --> 00:02:07,110
questions about the makeup of the moon's

46
00:02:12,590 --> 00:02:10,320
interior and thereby help scientists

47
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:12,600
better understand how earth and other

48
00:02:18,289 --> 00:02:15,450
rocky planets in our solar system form i

49
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:18,299
am predicting that we're gonna find

50
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:20,010
something and i don't know what it is

51
00:02:25,819 --> 00:02:23,130
that is really really gonna surprise us

52
00:02:27,500 --> 00:02:25,829
and turn our understanding of how the

53
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:27,510
moon and other terrestrial planets

54
00:02:31,340 --> 00:02:29,850
formed on its ear rail is scheduled to

55
00:02:32,750 --> 00:02:31,350
launch the morning of September rain

56
00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:32,760
from the cape canaveral air force

57
00:02:40,250 --> 00:02:37,650
station in florida this storm is

58
00:02:45,220 --> 00:02:40,260
stretching from Cuba to the Carolinas

59
00:02:48,199 --> 00:02:45,230
and that is 11 scary big storm as

60
00:02:50,870 --> 00:02:48,209
Hurricane Irene made her way towards the

61
00:02:52,759 --> 00:02:50,880
US mainland NASA helped keep a close

62
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:52,769
watch on the storms development and

63
00:02:57,319 --> 00:02:55,530
progress over a number of jay's the

64
00:02:59,360 --> 00:02:57,329
expedition 28 crew aboard the

65
00:03:01,400 --> 00:02:59,370
International Space Station trained its

66
00:03:04,550 --> 00:03:01,410
cameras on the huge Atlantic system

67
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:04,560
almost 230 miles blood

68
00:03:10,309 --> 00:03:07,890
and this is NASA animation produced from

69
00:03:12,530 --> 00:03:10,319
a series of observations made by Noah's

70
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:12,540
geostationary operational environmental

71
00:03:17,900 --> 00:03:16,050
satellite goes-13 NASA's tropical

72
00:03:20,870 --> 00:03:17,910
rainfall measuring mission satellite

73
00:03:23,089 --> 00:03:20,880
trem help measure the storms intensity

74
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:23,099
other observations were made by the

75
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:25,530
modis or moderate resolution imaging

76
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:28,410
spectroradiometer aboard NASA's Aqua

77
00:03:36,350 --> 00:03:33,690
settle for the first time NASA funded

78
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:36,360
researchers have created a complete map

79
00:03:41,509 --> 00:03:38,730
showing the speed and direction of ice

80
00:03:43,490 --> 00:03:41,519
flows throughout Antarctica this

81
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:43,500
animation demonstrates how ice is

82
00:03:47,479 --> 00:03:45,330
naturally transported from the

83
00:03:50,390 --> 00:03:47,489
continents deep interior to its coast

84
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:50,400
the red and purple areas represent the

85
00:03:55,789 --> 00:03:53,130
fastest flowing ice the map was created

86
00:03:57,140 --> 00:03:55,799
using integrated radar our observation

87
00:04:00,199 --> 00:03:57,150
from a consortium of international

88
00:04:02,089 --> 00:04:00,209
satellites the map gives scientists not

89
00:04:04,850 --> 00:04:02,099
only a better understanding of how ice

90
00:04:06,979 --> 00:04:04,860
sheets flow but also how the ice might

91
00:04:11,660 --> 00:04:06,989
react to climate change and affect

92
00:04:14,630 --> 00:04:11,670
future sea levels I'd like Shannon

93
00:04:16,849 --> 00:04:14,640
Walker to join me up here astronaut

94
00:04:19,099 --> 00:04:16,859
Shannon Walker returned her key to the

95
00:04:22,130 --> 00:04:19,109
city of Houston after flying it aboard

96
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:22,140
expedition 24 25 I wanted to return

97
00:04:26,029 --> 00:04:24,450
these to the city and to say thank you

98
00:04:28,460 --> 00:04:26,039
very much for letting me fly these and

99
00:04:31,310 --> 00:04:28,470
I'm very proud to be a houstonian the

100
00:04:33,350 --> 00:04:31,320
first native houstonian in space Walker

101
00:04:34,940 --> 00:04:33,360
served as flight engineer for more than

102
00:04:37,940 --> 00:04:34,950
five months on the International Space

103
00:04:41,029 --> 00:04:37,950
Station launching on so you see ma 19

104
00:04:45,740 --> 00:04:41,039
spacecraft in June 2010 and returning to

105
00:04:48,570 --> 00:04:45,750
Earth on November 25th and now

106
00:04:52,840 --> 00:04:51,400
for the past three years the team we

107
00:04:55,030 --> 00:04:52,850
recognize today have worked diligently

108
00:04:57,100 --> 00:04:55,040
behind the scenes to pull off the

109
00:04:58,660 --> 00:04:57,110
impossible a ceremony marked the

110
00:05:00,310 --> 00:04:58,670
official transfer of the former

111
00:05:02,590 --> 00:05:00,320
Mississippi army ammunition plant

112
00:05:04,780 --> 00:05:02,600
facilities to the scent of space center

113
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:04,790
positioning the site for years of major

114
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:07,130
expansion so we've come a long way since

115
00:05:10,450 --> 00:05:08,330
nineteen seventy-four in our

116
00:05:12,280 --> 00:05:10,460
understanding of the ongoing operations

117
00:05:14,740 --> 00:05:12,290
of the federal City and inherited a

118
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:14,750
great treasure of assets from those who

119
00:05:20,530 --> 00:05:17,570
preceded us Stennis is a unique federal

120
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:20,540
City home to more than 30 federal state

121
00:05:25,780 --> 00:05:22,970
academic and private organizations and

122
00:05:28,210 --> 00:05:25,790
numerous technology-based companies the

123
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:28,220
federal City model allows these resident

124
00:05:33,220 --> 00:05:30,650
agencies to share the cost of owning and

125
00:05:35,740 --> 00:05:33,230
operating the center making it more cost

126
00:05:38,470 --> 00:05:35,750
effective for each entity to accomplish

127
00:05:40,420 --> 00:05:38,480
its independent mission with acquisition

128
00:05:43,150 --> 00:05:40,430
of the 1.6 million square feet of

129
00:05:45,250 --> 00:05:43,160
facility space NASA increases the total

130
00:05:47,830 --> 00:05:45,260
facility space at Stennis by about

131
00:05:49,780 --> 00:05:47,840
thirty three percent i go to deputies

132
00:05:52,450 --> 00:05:49,790
meetings where we talk about and set

133
00:05:54,910 --> 00:05:52,460
policies for interagency cooperation but

134
00:05:57,430 --> 00:05:54,920
you make it happen this is where it

135
00:06:01,440 --> 00:05:57,440
happens and my colleagues and I on the

136
00:06:04,030 --> 00:06:01,450
stage just couldn't be more proud

137
00:06:06,010 --> 00:06:04,040
five-time Grammy award-winning Christian

138
00:06:08,170 --> 00:06:06,020
recording artist Steven Curtis Chapman

139
00:06:10,810 --> 00:06:08,180
was at the Johnson Space Center recently

140
00:06:12,450 --> 00:06:10,820
and had the opportunity to speak with

141
00:06:15,430 --> 00:06:12,460
International Space Station expedition

142
00:06:18,150 --> 00:06:15,440
28 crew members Mike Fossum and ron

143
00:06:21,420 --> 00:06:18,160
garan from the Mission Control Center

144
00:06:23,890 --> 00:06:21,430
Steven Curtis Chapman I was going guys

145
00:06:26,050 --> 00:06:23,900
greetings you've got that bike here and

146
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:26,060
Ron it though it's really great talk to

147
00:06:30,910 --> 00:06:28,450
you for me I've had a lot of crazy

148
00:06:33,130 --> 00:06:30,920
experiences in my life but first time

149
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:33,140
deducted a couple of brothers in space

150
00:06:38,740 --> 00:06:35,450
your musics fine with us and you're just

151
00:06:40,450 --> 00:06:38,750
real blessing to us and it's great that

152
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:40,460
you're able to join and see a little bit

153
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:42,890
of NASA behind the scenes and it's an

154
00:06:47,770 --> 00:06:45,770
honor talking thank you guys when we

155
00:06:51,220 --> 00:06:47,780
release a new out we call it launching

156
00:06:52,840 --> 00:06:51,230
an album which after seeing this I think

157
00:06:55,780 --> 00:06:52,850
we might need to change that name

158
00:07:04,430 --> 00:06:55,790
because it's fails

159
00:07:10,340 --> 00:07:07,160
I do think that launching is the proper

160
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:10,350
word for it because it's a lot of the

161
00:07:14,150 --> 00:07:12,090
same stuff a little less fire and smoke

162
00:07:17,060 --> 00:07:14,160
perhaps for us the launch is a new

163
00:07:19,670 --> 00:07:17,070
beginning to a new a new chapter you

164
00:07:21,860 --> 00:07:19,680
know for us in our mission as it is for

165
00:07:24,110 --> 00:07:21,870
you when you launch a new album menu and

166
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:24,120
you know you send it off with a with a

167
00:07:28,370 --> 00:07:26,850
prayer and a wave and you know off it

168
00:07:32,950 --> 00:07:28,380
goes it takes on a life of its own

169
00:07:36,830 --> 00:07:32,960
question thank you so much guys and
