27
00:01:31,030 --> 00:01:28,799
beyond low earth orbit this test is to

28
00:01:33,670 --> 00:01:31,040
give engineers a better understanding of

29
00:01:35,990 --> 00:01:33,680

technologists engineers and

72
00:03:28,390 --> 00:03:26,390
four teams of experts have been formed

73
00:03:31,110 --> 00:03:28,400
by the national institute for rocket

74
00:03:33,110 --> 00:03:31,120
propulsion systems to address challenges

75
00:03:34,630 --> 00:03:33,120
to the nation's leadership in rocket and

76
00:03:36,550 --> 00:03:34,640
missile propulsion

77
00:03:38,869 --> 00:03:36,560
the announcement was made at the joint

78
00:03:41,030 --> 00:03:38,879
army navy nasa air force conference in

79
00:03:43,190 --> 00:03:41,040
huntsville the teams which include

80
00:03:45,589 --> 00:03:43,200
officials from government industry and

81
00:03:47,750 --> 00:03:45,599
academia will spend several months

82
00:03:50,390 --> 00:03:47,760
developing solution strategies the

83
00:03:53,589 --> 00:03:50,400
reason it's so critical is because

84
00:03:55,670 --> 00:03:53,599
propulsion underlies so much of

85
00:03:58,229 --> 00:03:55,680
what nasa does in terms of getting our

86
00:04:00,949 --> 00:03:58,239
systems up into space it's also such a

87
00:04:02,710 --> 00:04:00,959
key element of our nation's strategic

88
00:04:05,030 --> 00:04:02,720
defense capabilities

89
00:04:06,550 --> 00:04:05,040
and we draw on a common industrial base

90
00:04:09,030 --> 00:04:06,560
that although we do different things

91
00:04:10,789 --> 00:04:09,040
with it dod and nasa really share an

92
00:04:12,710 --> 00:04:10,799
industrial base and the health is

93
00:04:14,550 --> 00:04:12,720
important to dod accomplishing their

94
00:04:17,830 --> 00:04:14,560
mission and for nasa to be able to

95
00:04:21,749 --> 00:04:19,909
the glenn research center recently held

96
00:04:24,230 --> 00:04:21,759
a day-long technology showcase at

97
00:04:26,310 --> 00:04:24,240
cleveland's airport marriott hotel

98
00:04:29,590 --> 00:04:26,320
more than 200 representatives of firms

99
00:04:32,070 --> 00:04:29,600
throughout ohio learned how 35 select

100
00:04:35,430 --> 00:04:32,080
technologies at glenn can improve their

101
00:04:37,909 --> 00:04:35,440
business and create jobs this showcase

102
00:04:40,469 --> 00:04:37,919
is part of a journey we are on at glenn

103
00:04:42,710 --> 00:04:40,479
led by our center director mr lugo to

104
00:04:44,629 --> 00:04:42,720
become a better partner both locally

105
00:04:47,110 --> 00:04:44,639
regionally statewide as well as

106
00:04:49,909 --> 00:04:47,120
nationally so that again we can leverage

107
00:04:52,230 --> 00:04:49,919
the 700 million dollar investment in

108
00:04:55,110 --> 00:04:52,240
nasa glenn to have a bigger economic

109
00:04:56,870 --> 00:04:55,120
impact on our state and on our country

110
00:04:59,510 --> 00:04:56,880
among the highlighted technologies and

111
00:05:02,629 --> 00:04:59,520
products were solar energy aerogels for

112
00:05:04,870 --> 00:05:02,639
insulation and materials for windmills

113
00:05:06,629 --> 00:05:04,880
glenn wants new private sector partners

114
00:05:09,430 --> 00:05:06,639
who can develop jobs in science and

115
00:05:13,270 --> 00:05:09,440
technology to keep young ohioans from

solid rocket boosters

124
00:05:37,590 --> 00:05:35,039
the model mounted on a transporter made

125
00:05:40,150 --> 00:05:37,600

149
00:06:43,749 --> 00:06:41,120
briefed by vms staff about how the

150
00:06:49,670 --> 00:06:43,759

162
00:07:22,230 --> 00:07:20,560
as they do each year volunteers from the

163
00:07:24,870 --> 00:07:22,240
stennis space center's office of

164
00:07:31,350 --> 00:07:24,880
education again served as mentors

165
00:07:35,189 --> 00:07:33,350
and the office of education is one of

166
00:07:36,950 --> 00:07:35,199
several headquarters organizations

have been having baking marathons all

175
00:08:01,990 --> 00:08:00,319
weekend leading up to this moment and we

176
00:08:04,390 --> 00:08:02,000
plan now to send these off in the next

177
00:08:06,790 --> 00:08:04,400
day or two so they'll arrive if not on

178
00:08:09,110 --> 00:08:06,800
christmas day the day after christmas

179
00:08:11,350 --> 00:08:09,120
the airmen at al-adid are volunteering

180

in a science and technology program at

181
00:08:16,150 --> 00:08:14,000
the american school in doha qatar

182
00:08:18,550 --> 00:08:16,160
nasa education provided support for the

183
00:08:21,350 --> 00:08:18,560
initiative this past summer

184
00:08:23,430 --> 00:08:21,360
and that's this week at nasa for more on
