5
00:00:23,029 --> 00:00:20,720
the npp satellite blazing the way a new

6
00:00:25,029 --> 00:00:23,039
technology for climate research and

7
00:00:27,349 --> 00:00:25,039
weather forecasting all the systems look

8
00:00:29,029 --> 00:00:27,359
strong communications look strong the

9
00:00:31,750 --> 00:00:29,039
nation's newest earth observing

10
00:00:34,069 --> 00:00:31,760
satellite has begun its mission

11
00:00:35,910 --> 00:00:34,079
the national polar orbiting operational

12
00:00:39,590 --> 00:00:35,920
environmental satellite system

13
00:00:41,430 --> 00:00:39,600
preparatory project or npp was launched

14
00:00:44,310 --> 00:00:41,440
from vandenberg air force base in

15
00:00:46,069 --> 00:00:44,320
california heralding a new era of

16
00:00:48,790 --> 00:00:46,079
climate change science and weather

17
00:00:50,150 --> 00:00:48,800
forecasting for the united states i know

18
00:00:52,150 --> 00:00:50,160
we're going to have thousands of users

19
00:00:53,350 --> 00:00:52,160
around the world who are anxiously

20
00:00:55,510 --> 00:00:53,360
waiting to

21
00:00:57,750 --> 00:00:55,520
use npp data for

22
00:01:00,630 --> 00:00:57,760
more applications than i can even think

23
00:01:02,630 --> 00:01:00,640
of data from npp will enable the

24
00:01:04,869 --> 00:01:02,640
national oceanic and atmospheric

25
00:01:07,270 --> 00:01:04,879
administration to continue issuing

26
00:01:10,789 --> 00:01:07,280
accurate forecasts and provide advanced

27
00:01:13,510 --> 00:01:10,799
warning for severe weather npp will also

28
00:01:15,510 --> 00:01:13,520
extend critical long-term data sets that

29
00:01:18,390 --> 00:01:15,520
advance earth system science and

30
00:01:20,630 --> 00:01:18,400
applications supported by nasa noaa and

31
00:01:22,469 --> 00:01:20,640
other u.s agencies this mission in

32
00:01:24,870 --> 00:01:22,479
particular has been planned for several

33
00:01:27,030 --> 00:01:24,880
years it evolved over time to include

34
00:01:29,109 --> 00:01:27,040
our partners noaa so we're looking not

35
00:01:30,710 --> 00:01:29,119
only at weather but at climate and

36
00:01:32,789 --> 00:01:30,720
better modeling what's happening with

37
00:01:36,230 --> 00:01:32,799
our planet so i think all of this is

38
00:01:37,830 --> 00:01:36,240
just showing the robust nature of nasa

39
00:01:40,390 --> 00:01:37,840
the mission will also test key

40
00:01:42,710 --> 00:01:40,400
technologies and instruments for use on

41
00:01:48,870 --> 00:01:42,720

wall in tribute to iconic russian

52
00:02:18,309 --> 00:02:16,869
what are the similarities and the

53
00:02:20,790 --> 00:02:18,319
differences between the shadow and the

54
00:02:23,750 --> 00:02:20,800
soyuz the to me that the soyuz is like a

55
00:02:26,550 --> 00:02:23,760
sports car where the shuttle is like a

56
00:02:28,869 --> 00:02:26,560
an 18 wheeler and i'm very much looking

57
00:02:31,589 --> 00:02:28,879
forward to the ride uphill that event

dropped into the langley research

69
00:03:16,070 --> 00:03:13,350
testing began this summer to certify the

70
00:03:18,790 --> 00:03:16,080
orion spacecraft for water landings the

71
00:03:21,270 --> 00:03:18,800
vehicle will carry astronauts into space

72
00:03:23,670 --> 00:03:21,280

00:03:32,550 --> 00:03:29,990
this new and improved digital

75
00:03:35,190 --> 00:03:32,560
topographic map of earth is the most

76
00:03:37,430 --> 00:03:35,200
complete version ever produced

77
00:03:39,670 --> 00:03:37,440
known as the global digital elevation

78
00:03:41,830 --> 00:03:39,680
model it was created from images

79
00:03:43,509 --> 00:03:41,840
collected by the japanese advanced

00:03:51,750 --> 00:03:49,040
of five instruments on nasa's terra

83
00:03:54,229 --> 00:03:51,760
satellite launched in 1999.

84
00:03:57,030 --> 00:03:54,239
enhanced features include improved

85
00:03:59,910 --> 00:03:57,040
spatial resolution increased horizontal

86
00:04:02,550 --> 00:03:59,920
and vertical accuracy and more realistic

87
00:04:04,949 --> 00:04:02,560
coverage over bodies of water the new

88
00:04:07,350 --> 00:04:04,959
version of the map provides civilian

89
00:04:09,830 --> 00:04:07,360
users with the highest resolution global

90
00:04:12,630 --> 00:04:09,840
topography data available and is

91
00:04:15,110 --> 00:04:12,640
available online to users everywhere at

92
00:04:16,870 --> 00:04:15,120
no cost

00:04:19,349 --> 00:04:16,880
here in maryland

94
00:04:21,349 --> 00:04:19,359
both at the space telescope institute

95
00:04:24,070 --> 00:04:21,359
and goddard we have

96
00:04:26,550 --> 00:04:24,080
three nobel prize winners the greatest

97
00:04:29,350 --> 00:04:26,560
telescope called the hubble since

98
00:04:31,830 --> 00:04:29,360
galileo invented the first one and we

99
00:04:39,350 --> 00:04:31,840
know that great people and a great

100
00:04:43,110 --> 00:04:41,189
at the maryland science center in

101
00:04:45,110 --> 00:04:43,120
baltimore maryland a special

102
00:04:47,830 --> 00:04:45,120
ribbon-cutting ceremony took place to

103
00:04:50,070 --> 00:04:47,840
unveil an exhibit on nasa's next great

104
00:04:52,230 --> 00:04:50,080
space observatory the james webb

105
00:04:54,150 --> 00:04:52,240
telescope the event was part of the

106
00:04:56,629 --> 00:04:54,160
association of science technology

107
00:04:58,950 --> 00:04:56,639
center's annual conference while hubble

108
00:05:02,070 --> 00:04:58,960
made it possible for us to rewrite those

109
00:05:03,670 --> 00:05:02,080
science textbooks uncovering a vast new

110
00:05:05,510 --> 00:05:03,680
area of knowledge

111
00:05:08,790 --> 00:05:05,520
witnessing phenomenon that have never

112
00:05:11,909 --> 00:05:08,800
been seen before webb will reveal even

113
00:05:13,909 --> 00:05:11,919
more from its vantage point one million

114
00:05:16,150 --> 00:05:13,919
miles above the earth

115
00:05:18,629 --> 00:05:16,160
several dignitaries were on hand to mark

116
00:05:21,029 --> 00:05:18,639
the occasion from nobel prize winners

117
00:05:23,990 --> 00:05:21,039
and political officials to senior nasa

118
00:05:26,870 --> 00:05:24,000
staff nasa has always been that engine

119
00:05:30,150 --> 00:05:26,880
of economic growth and job creation the

120
00:05:32,150 --> 00:05:30,160
web telescope is just the latest and

121
00:05:34,390 --> 00:05:32,160
greatest example of that using

122
00:05:36,870 --> 00:05:34,400
state-of-the-art exhibits and multimedia

123
00:05:39,029 --> 00:05:36,880
resources the maryland science center is

124
00:05:41,830 --> 00:05:39,039
dedicated to presenting the latest in

125
00:05:43,909 --> 00:05:41,840
scientific discovery to the public

126
00:05:46,710 --> 00:05:43,919
the webb telescope is a joint project

127
00:05:50,870 --> 00:05:46,720
between nasa the european space agency

128
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,870
and now centerpieces

129
00:05:59,029 --> 00:05:56,629
it's a delight for me to help unveil

130
00:06:01,189 --> 00:05:59,039
this impressive display and with that a

131
00:06:03,430 --> 00:06:01,199
special exhibit of nasa's james webb

132
00:06:05,670 --> 00:06:03,440
space telescope kicked off at the

133
00:06:07,430 --> 00:06:05,680
maryland science center in baltimore

134
00:06:09,189 --> 00:06:07,440
well maryland is the home of nasa's

135
00:06:11,670 --> 00:06:09,199
goddard space flight center the team

136
00:06:13,110 --> 00:06:11,680
that's leading the international science

137
00:06:15,350 --> 00:06:13,120
and engineering group that's building

138
00:06:17,029 --> 00:06:15,360
the james webb space telescope it's also

139
00:06:19,029 --> 00:06:17,039
home of the space telescope science

140
00:06:20,550 --> 00:06:19,039
institute who's operating and running

141
00:06:22,469 --> 00:06:20,560
all the science for the hubble space

142
00:06:24,150 --> 00:06:22,479
telescope and we'll do the same

143
00:06:25,270 --> 00:06:24,160
great work for the james webb space

144
00:06:27,350 --> 00:06:25,280
telescope

145
00:06:29,670 --> 00:06:27,360
standing several stories tall the

146
00:06:32,309 --> 00:06:29,680
full-sized mock-up gives visitors a

147
00:06:34,870 --> 00:06:32,319
preview effective light of how nasa is

148
00:06:37,990 --> 00:06:34,880
looking to build on the success of the

149
00:06:40,150 --> 00:06:38,000
hubble space telescope this is great

150
00:06:41,830 --> 00:06:40,160
this actually gives everyone an idea of

151
00:06:43,990 --> 00:06:41,840
what's actually going to be out there in

152
00:06:46,230 --> 00:06:44,000
space it's not necessarily you know

153
00:06:48,309 --> 00:06:46,240
going in and taking scoops of

154
00:06:50,790 --> 00:06:48,319
dust or moon rocks or stuff like that

155
00:06:53,029 --> 00:06:50,800
but it's definitely exploration

156
00:06:55,670 --> 00:06:53,039
exploration that's inspiring not just

157
00:06:57,430 --> 00:06:55,680
the public but the scientists who expect

158
00:06:59,670 --> 00:06:57,440
webb to push our knowledge of the

159
00:07:01,430 --> 00:06:59,680
universe to new heights

160
00:07:03,189 --> 00:07:01,440
we'll see inside dust clouds where stars

161
00:07:05,029 --> 00:07:03,199
are being born we even have a chance to

162
00:07:06,390 --> 00:07:05,039
see the atmospheres of planets around

163
00:07:07,589 --> 00:07:06,400
other stars and see if they're a little

164
00:07:09,189 --> 00:07:07,599
bit like earth

165
00:07:11,029 --> 00:07:09,199
so there's so many things we hope to

166
00:07:12,629 --> 00:07:11,039
discover and how many so many other

167
00:07:15,270 --> 00:07:12,639
things we haven't even thought of yet

168
00:07:16,870 --> 00:07:15,280
that just might turn up being a user of

169
00:07:19,189 --> 00:07:16,880
hubble with the wide field camera 3

170
00:07:21,110 --> 00:07:19,199
that's the best we can do until james

171
00:07:22,950 --> 00:07:21,120
webb launches and if i used it for 100

172
00:07:24,790 --> 00:07:22,960
years i wouldn't be able to do the kinds

173
00:07:27,189 --> 00:07:24,800
of investigations i would like to do

174
00:07:30,070 --> 00:07:27,199
with james webb a web telescope that

175
00:07:35,749 --> 00:07:30,080
will one day be hard at work a million

176
00:07:39,510 --> 00:07:37,589
taking a break from its science mission

177
00:07:42,230 --> 00:07:39,520
flights the stratospheric observatory

178
00:07:44,550 --> 00:07:42,240
for infrared astronomy or sophia came to

179
00:07:47,589 --> 00:07:44,560
nasa ames research center to offer tours

180
00:07:49,990 --> 00:07:47,599
to employees and vips alike

181
00:07:53,029 --> 00:07:50,000
the observatory consists of a 100 inch

182
00:07:56,309 --> 00:07:53,039
or 2.5 meter diameter telescope mounted

183
00:07:58,869 --> 00:07:56,319
inside a highly modified boeing 747sp

184
00:08:01,589 --> 00:07:58,879
aircraft that can fly at altitudes up to

185
00:08:03,749 --> 00:08:01,599
41 000 feet above sea level

186
00:08:05,990 --> 00:08:03,759
for two days the aircraft was opened up

187
00:08:08,070 --> 00:08:06,000
so the dignitaries members of the media

188
00:08:09,749 --> 00:08:08,080
nasa employees and the general public

189
00:08:10,869 --> 00:08:09,759

198
00:08:35,110 --> 00:08:33,279
tweet up an event designed to give

199
00:08:37,110 --> 00:08:35,120
nasa's social media followers an

200
00:08:39,190 --> 00:08:37,120
opportunity to visit and find out what

201
00:08:40,949 --> 00:08:39,200
wallops is all about we took the online

202
00:08:43,110 --> 00:08:40,959
engagement that we have with our fans

203
00:08:45,990 --> 00:08:43,120
and followers and made an in-person

204
00:08:48,150 --> 00:08:46,000
engagement and so we had a lottery and

205
00:08:50,070 --> 00:08:48,160
people could sign up register to come to

206
00:08:52,150 --> 00:08:50,080
this event and then 50 people were

207
00:08:54,630 --> 00:08:52,160
randomly selected to come and be here

208
00:08:56,710 --> 00:08:54,640
today nasa shares what it's doing as

209
00:08:58,710 --> 00:08:56,720
widely as possible and social media is

210
00:09:00,389 --> 00:08:58,720
one of the ways nasa can engage with the

211
00:09:02,150 --> 00:09:00,399
public people then will take what

212
00:09:03,590 --> 00:09:02,160
they're seeing and experiencing today

213
00:09:06,150 --> 00:09:03,600
and they'll share it on their social

214
00:09:08,630 --> 00:09:06,160
networks so they're essentially taking

215
00:09:10,630 --> 00:09:08,640
along their followers for

216
00:09:12,310 --> 00:09:10,640
