48
00:02:18,869 --> 00:02:16,720
first-hand look at work on nasa's new

49
00:02:21,430 --> 00:02:18,879
space launch system the rocket that'll

50
00:02:23,270 --> 00:02:21,440
make deep space missions possible bolden

51
00:02:25,350 --> 00:02:23,280
toured marshall's thrust vector control

52
00:02:28,070 --> 00:02:25,360
test lab as well as the hardware in the

53
00:02:29,830 --> 00:02:28,080
loop simulation lab here engineers are

54
00:02:32,309 --> 00:02:29,840
developing and testing the new rockets

55
00:02:34,309 --> 00:02:32,319
guidance navigation and control software

56
00:02:36,710 --> 00:02:34,319
and avionics and thrust vector control

57
00:02:39,350 --> 00:02:36,720
hardware this integrated propulsion

58
00:02:41,350 --> 00:02:39,360
testbed using digital computer models

59
00:02:43,350 --> 00:02:41,360
demonstrates real-time flight control of

60
00:02:45,910 --> 00:02:43,360
the launch vehicle during ascent what

61
00:02:47,430 --> 00:02:45,920
we're able to do in this facility is

62
00:02:48,790 --> 00:02:47,440
take the hardware test it out a little

63
00:02:50,470 --> 00:02:48,800
bit take the software test it out a

64
00:02:53,509 --> 00:02:50,480
little bit and marry them up right here

65
00:02:56,710 --> 00:02:53,519
in the sim lab so that you know we're

66
00:02:59,589 --> 00:02:56,720
going to have real live flight hardware

67
00:03:01,589 --> 00:02:59,599
with real live flight software married

68
00:03:02,949 --> 00:03:01,599
up in this facility so that if there's

69
00:03:04,949 --> 00:03:02,959
something that's going to go wrong we

70
00:03:06,550 --> 00:03:04,959
discover it here in huntsville before we

71
00:03:08,470 --> 00:03:06,560
take it to florida and put it on a

72
00:03:10,070 --> 00:03:08,480
vehicle the marshall center is leading

73
00:03:12,309 --> 00:03:10,080
design and development of the space

74
00:03:14,070 --> 00:03:12,319
launch system the new heavy lift launch

75
00:03:16,070 --> 00:03:14,080
vehicle will expand human presence

76
00:03:17,910 --> 00:03:16,080
beyond low earth orbit and enable new

77
00:03:20,229 --> 00:03:17,920
missions of exploration across the solar

78
00:03:23,670 --> 00:03:20,239
system its first full-scale test flight

79
00:03:29,910 --> 00:03:27,670
three two one the mighty eagle nasa's

80

robotic lander designed to explore the

81
00:03:35,350 --> 00:03:32,560
surface of the moon asteroids and other

82
00:03:37,750 --> 00:03:35,360
destinations performed a successful

83
00:03:40,149 --> 00:03:37,760
altitude test flight at the redstone

84
00:03:42,789 --> 00:03:40,159
test center on redstone arsenal in

85
00:03:43,830 --> 00:03:42,799
huntsville as directed the lander

86
00:03:46,949 --> 00:03:43,840
hovered

87
00:03:52,470 --> 00:03:46,959
flew up to 100 feet before putting down

88
00:03:57,910 --> 00:03:55,350
once again a nationwide survey ranks

89
00:04:00,149 --> 00:03:57,920
nasa among the best places to work in

90
00:04:02,470 --> 00:04:00,159
the federal government at number five

91
00:04:04,470 --> 00:04:02,480
the survey conducted by the non-profit

92
00:04:08,149 --> 00:04:04,480
non-partisan partnership for public

93
00:04:09,190 --> 00:04:08,159
service polled more than 276 000 federal

94
00:04:11,670 --> 00:04:09,200
workers

95
00:04:14,949 --> 00:04:11,680
placing first among nasa centers was

96
00:04:17,110 --> 00:04:14,959
stennis which out of 240 organizations

97
00:04:18,469 --> 00:04:17,120
within the federal government ranked

98
00:04:20,949 --> 00:04:18,479
number two

99
00:04:23,270 --> 00:04:20,959
stennis also topped the list of all

100
00:04:26,469 --> 00:04:23,280
federal organizations for employee

101
00:04:29,110 --> 00:04:26,479
empowerment fairness and support for

102
00:04:31,110 --> 00:04:29,120
diversity

103
00:04:32,870 --> 00:04:31,120
it seemed to me like this idea could be

104
00:04:35,749 --> 00:04:32,880
expanded it can be taken to the next

105
00:04:37,909 --> 00:04:35,759
level matthew ritzko a financial manager

106
00:04:40,070 --> 00:04:37,919
at the goddard space flight center is

107
00:04:43,270 --> 00:04:40,080
the winner of the third annual white

110
00:04:48,870 --> 00:04:47,040
employees

111
00:04:51,670 --> 00:04:48,880
ritzko proposed establishing a

112
00:04:54,469 --> 00:04:51,680
centralized tool repository or lending

113
00:04:56,310 --> 00:04:54,479
