00:01:54,000 hi i'm bobak ferdowsi flight director 51 00:01:59,190 --> 00:01:55,680 with the mars science lab curiosity and 52 00:02:00,630 --> 00:01:59,200 this is your curiosity rover update 53 00:02:02,469 --> 00:02:00,640 this week we did a color panorama 54 00:02:03,429 --> 00:02:02,479 surrounding the rover with both the mast 55 00:02:06,469 --> 00:02:03,439 cam 56 00:02:09,589 --> 00:02:07,670 and we also upgraded the software 57 00:02:10,309 --> 00:02:09,599 onboard both computers of the rover this 58 00:02:11,910 --> 00:02:10,319 week 59 00:02:13,510 --> 00:02:11,920 this new software is like having new 60 00:02:16,150 --> 00:02:13,520 applications with new functionalities on 61 00:02:17,830 --> 00:02:16,160 the rover allow us to do mobility deploy 62 00:02:18,790 --> 00:02:17,840 the arm and get to the science that 63 00:02:20,150 --> 00:02:18,800 we've been looking forward to on the 64 00:02:21,589 --> 00:02:20,160 mission 65 00:02:23,990 --> 00:02:21,599 we also did a series of instrument 66 00:02:25,589 --> 00:02:24,000 checkouts those included the chemcam 67 00:02:31,190 --> 00:02:25,599 instrument 68 00:02:34,830 --> 00:02:31,200 rad science 69 00:02:38,710 --> 00:02:36,790 apxs 70 00:02:40,470 --> 00:02:38,720 sam 71 00:02:43,589 --> 00:02:40,480 and the additional cameras on the rover 72 00:02:45,270 --> 00:02:43,599 including the mali instrument 73 00:02:46,949 --> 00:02:45,280 we also downlinked some marty high 74 00:02:50,070 --> 00:02:46,959 resolution data images those are from 75 00:02:51,750 --> 00:02:50,080 the descent imager 76 00:02:53,670 --> 00:02:51,760 up this week we'll be using the chemcam 77 00:02:55,509 --> 00:02:53,680 to zap targets for the first time also 78 00:02:56,869 --> 00:02:55,519 be deploying the arm 79 00:02:58,710 --> 00:02:56,879 and we'll be checking out the mobility 80 00:03:02,390 --> 00:02:58,720 system by doing what's called a rover 81 00:03:06,390 --> 00:03:04,550 astronomers have found an extraordinary 82 00:03:08,470 --> 00:03:06,400 galaxy cluster one of the largest 83 00:03:11,030 --> 00:03:08,480 objects in the universe that is breaking 84 00:03:13,270 --> 00:03:11,040 several important cosmic records 85 00:03:15,750 --> 00:03:13,280 observations of the phoenix cluster 86 00:03:18,390 --> 00:03:15,760 located about 5.7 billion light years 87 00:03:20,470 --> 00:03:18,400 from earth with nasa's chandra x-ray 88 00:03:23,110 --> 00:03:20,480 observatory the national science 89 00:03:25,589 --> 00:03:23,120 foundation's south pole telescope and 90 00:03:28,229 --> 00:03:25,599 eight other world-class observatories 91 00:03:29,910 --> 00:03:28,239 may force astronomers to rethink how 92 00:03:32,710 --> 00:03:29,920 these colossal structures and the 93 00:03:34,710 --> 00:03:32,720 galaxies that inhabit them evolve 94 00:03:36,869 --> 00:03:34,720 stars are forming in the phoenix cluster 95 00:03:38,949 --> 00:03:36,879 at the highest rate ever observed for 96 00:03:40,869 --> 00:03:38,959 the middle of a galaxy cluster 97 00:03:43,350 --> 00:03:40,879 the object also is the most powerful 98 00:03:45,350 --> 00:03:43,360 producer of x-rays of any known cluster 99 00:03:47,990 --> 00:03:45,360 and among the most massive 100 00:03:49,910 --> 00:03:48,000 the data also suggests the rate of hot 101 00:03:53,030 --> 00:03:49,920 gas cooling in the central regions of 102 00:03:55,429 --> 00:03:53,040 the cluster is the largest ever observed 103 00:03:57,350 --> 00:03:55,439 because of their tremendous size galaxy 104 00:04:00,789 --> 00:03:57,360 clusters are crucial objects for 105 00:04:02,789 --> 00:04:00,799 studying cosmology and galaxy evolution 106 00:04:04,710 --> 00:04:02,799 so finding one with such extreme 107 00:04:07,110 --> 00:04:04,720 properties like the phoenix cluster is 108 00:04:09,750 --> 00:04:07,120 important 109 00:04:12,550 --> 00:04:09,760 the last dva that was performed on space 110 00:04:14,949 --> 00:04:12,560 station by the u.s team 111 00:04:17,509 --> 00:04:14,959 was by mike fossum and ron guerin during 112 00:04:19,430 --> 00:04:17,519 the sts-135 mission the johnson space 113 00:04:21,349 --> 00:04:19,440 center hosted members of the media to 114 00:04:23,830 --> 00:04:21,359 preview two upcoming spacewalks 115 00:04:25,830 --> 00:04:23,840 involving u.s russian and japanese crew 116 00:04:28,870 --> 00:04:25,840 members aboard the international space 117 00:04:30,710 --> 00:04:28,880 station on august 30th nasa flight 118 00:04:32,870 --> 00:04:30,720 engineer suni williams and flight 119 00:04:35,270 --> 00:04:32,880 engineer aki hoshide of the japan 120 00:04:37,749 --> 00:04:35,280 aerospace exploration agency are 121 00:04:40,230 --> 00:04:37,759 scheduled to egress the quest airlock 122 00:04:42,550 --> 00:04:40,240 for a six and a half hour excursion to 123 00:04:44,710 --> 00:04:42,560 perform electrical work on the truss and 124 00:04:47,350 --> 00:04:44,720 install cables for a future russian 125 00:04:49,350 --> 00:04:47,360 laboratory module it will be hoshide's 126 00:04:51,189 --> 00:04:49,360 first spacewalk and the third for 127 00:04:54,070 --> 00:04:51,199 japanese astronaut 128 00:04:56,150 --> 00:04:54,080 ten days before that eva expedition 32 129 00:04:58,310 --> 00:04:56,160 commander gennady padalka and flight 130 00:05:00,629 --> 00:04:58,320 engineer yuri malenchenko of the russian 131 00:05:03,110 --> 00:05:00,639 federal space agency are scheduled to 132 00:05:05,749 --> 00:05:03,120 venture outside the piers airlock for a 133 00:05:08,390 --> 00:05:05,759 six-hour spacewalk to install debris 134 00:05:10,710 --> 00:05:08,400 shields on the zvezda service module and 135 00:05:14,790 --> 00:05:10,720 move a telescoping cargo crane from 136 00:05:18,950 --> 00:05:16,790 while nasa's teams have been taking a 137 00:05:20,870 --> 00:05:18,960 close look at how orion's parachutes 138 00:05:23,430 --> 00:05:20,880 behave as the twenty thousand pound 139 00:05:25,189 --> 00:05:23,440 spacecraft descends through the sky 140 00:05:26,150 --> 00:05:25,199 they've also been investigating another 141 00:05:27,990 --> 00:05:26,160 challenge 142 00:05:30,950 --> 00:05:28,000 how do you recover parachutes that are 143 00:05:32,950 --> 00:05:30,960 100 feet wide from the water 144 00:05:34,870 --> 00:05:32,960 nasa's neutral buoyancy laboratory at 145 00:05:37,350 --> 00:05:34,880 the johnson space center in houston was 146 00:05:39,990 --> 00:05:37,360 the setting as these teams took some of 147 00:05:41,670 --> 00:05:40,000 orion's drove and main parachutes and 148 00:05:43,909 --> 00:05:41,680 dunked them in the water they were 149 00:05:45,510 --> 00:05:43,919 noting how long the chute stayed afloat 150 00:05:47,430 --> 00:05:45,520 and the best ways to get them out of the 151 00:05:49,350 --> 00:05:47,440 water and into a boat 152 00:05:51,909 --> 00:05:49,360 each one of the main chutes weighs close 153 00:05:52,790 --> 00:05:51,919 to 300 pounds the water doubles that 154 00:05:55,029 --> 00:05:52,800 weight 155 00:05:57,670 --> 00:05:55,039 so testing ways of handling them and 156 00:05:59,670 --> 00:05:57,680 doing it safely is important 157 00:06:01,990 --> 00:05:59,680 we learn every time we do a parachute 158 00:06:03,830 --> 00:06:02,000 test of something 159 00:06:06,710 --> 00:06:03,840 we find ways to improve the parachute 160 00:06:08,870 --> 00:06:06,720 design so that when we finally fly the 161 00:06:10,870 --> 00:06:08,880 parachute system for human spaceflight 162 00:06:13,029 --> 00:06:10,880 it's a safe and reliable system the 163 00:06:14,790 --> 00:06:13,039 orion team was joined by members of the 164 00:06:16,390 --> 00:06:14,800 united states navy as well as the 165 00:06:19,110 --> 00:06:16,400 recovery forces that will work 166 00:06:21,350 --> 00:06:19,120 exploration flight test one orion's 167 00:06:22,790 --> 00:06:21,360 first unmanned test flight scheduled for 168 00:06:25,510 --> 00:06:22,800 2014 169 00:06:28,469 --> 00:06:25,520 that flight will send orion more than 3 170 00:06:31,029 --> 00:06:28,479 600 miles into space reaching speeds of 171 00:06:32,629 --> 00:06:31,039 more than 20 000 miles per hour and 172 00:06:35,749 --> 00:06:32,639 returning for a splashdown in the 173 00:06:37,830 --> 00:06:35,759 pacific ocean this recovery testing on 174 00:06:40,150 --> 00:06:37,840 orion's parachutes and the capsule 175 00:06:41,830 --> 00:06:40,160 itself will continue during the lead-up 176 00:06:44,469 --> 00:06:41,840 to eft-1 177 00:06:46,469 --> 00:06:44,479 orion also has more drop tests planned 178 00:06:48,870 --> 00:06:46,479 at the langley research center and 179 00:06:52,790 --> 00:06:48,880 parachute tests at the u.s army yuma 180 00:06:57,350 --> 00:06:54,710 a decade we believe will be one of 181 00:06:59,350 --> 00:06:57,360 discovery and of one of new and 182 00:07:01,350 --> 00:06:59,360 innovative approaches and tools things 183 00:07:03,749 --> 00:07:01,360 that we will develop the national 184 00:07:06,150 --> 00:07:03,759 research council has released its second 185 00:07:09,270 --> 00:07:06,160 decadal survey in solar and space 186 00:07:11,510 --> 00:07:09,280 physics or heliophysics the broad-based 187 00:07:13,830 --> 00:07:11,520 assessment identifies the highest 188 00:07:15,749 --> 00:07:13,840 scientific priorities of the u.s solar 189 00:07:17,749 --> 00:07:15,759 and space physics research enterprise 190 00:07:19,589 --> 00:07:17,759 for the next 10 years it's truly 191 00:07:22,070 --> 00:07:19,599 national in scope it's really intended 192 00:07:24,309 --> 00:07:22,080 to talk about nasa nsf 193 00:07:25,830 --> 00:07:24,319 noaa dod all the investments that are 194 00:07:28,390 --> 00:07:25,840 being made in soul and space physics in 195 00:07:31,189 --> 00:07:28,400 various ways requested by nasa and the 196 00:07:33,990 --> 00:07:31,199 national science foundation this decadal 197 00:07:37,430 --> 00:07:34,000 survey follows the nrc's previous survey 198 00:07:41,350 --> 00:07:39,350 acting associate administrator robert 199 00:07:43,749 --> 00:07:41,360 lightfoot and langley research center 200 00:07:45,749 --> 00:07:43,759 director lisa rowe joined others at a 201 00:07:48,550 --> 00:07:45,759 headquarters recognition ceremony for 202 00:07:50,950 --> 00:07:48,560 contributors to a new flexbook developed 203 00:07:53,589 --> 00:07:50,960 by nasa and the nonprofit education 204 00:07:55,510 --> 00:07:53,599 organization ck12 as we challenge the 205 00:07:57,430 --> 00:07:55,520 boundaries of everything all the 206 00:07:58,790 --> 00:07:57,440 technologies that we need to do that 207 00:08:00,230 --> 00:07:58,800 we've got to have the modeling and 208 00:08:01,749 --> 00:08:00,240 simulation to allow us to deal with 209 00:08:03,510 --> 00:08:01,759 those uncertainties and the environments 210 00:08:05,189 --> 00:08:03,520 we're going to face the temperatures the 211 00:08:06,869 --> 00:08:05,199 pressures all the different things that 212 00:08:08,710 --> 00:08:06,879 our spacecraft are going to see 213 00:08:10,150 --> 00:08:08,720 hopefully this project will help lead to 214 00:08:10,950 --> 00:08:10,160 us having that workforce we're going to 215 00:08:13,270 --> 00:08:10,960 need 216 00:08:15,749 --> 00:08:13,280 in the future a flexbook is an open 217 00:08:17,510 --> 00:08:15,759 source textbook that can be customized 218 00:08:20,390 --> 00:08:17,520 and evolve with the changing needs of a 219 00:08:23,110 --> 00:08:20,400 user and help maximize stem teaching and 220 00:08:25,189 --> 00:08:23,120 learning in grades k through 12. 221 00:08:27,029 --> 00:08:25,199 the new flexbook entitled modeling and 222 00:08:29,110 --> 00:08:27,039 simulation for high school teachers 223 00:08:32,949 --> 00:08:29,120 principles problems and lesson plans is 224 00:08:36,949 --> 00:08:34,630 an upcoming mission to study the 225 00:08:38,949 --> 00:08:36,959 development of atlantic hurricanes using 226 00:08:40,630 --> 00:08:38,959 unmanned aerial vehicles based at the 227 00:08:42,709 --> 00:08:40,640 nasa wallops flight facility was 228 00:08:44,550 --> 00:08:42,719 discussed during a public presentation 229 00:08:47,430 --> 00:08:44,560 at the facilities visitors center the 230 00:08:49,269 --> 00:08:47,440 hurricane and severe storm sentinel hs3 231 00:08:51,350 --> 00:08:49,279 is a five-year mission specifically 232 00:08:53,269 --> 00:08:51,360 targeted to investigate the processes 233 00:08:55,269 --> 00:08:53,279 that underlie hurricane formation and 234 00:08:57,110 --> 00:08:55,279 intensity change in the atlantic ocean 235 00:08:59,030 --> 00:08:57,120 basin if we understand more about the 236 00:09:01,509 --> 00:08:59,040 storms and we can predict that better we 237 00:09:03,190 --> 00:09:01,519 can get people out of harm's way we can 238 00:09:05,750 --> 00:09:03,200 not evacuate people when they don't need 239 00:09:07,670 --> 00:09:05,760 to evacuate and we can you know save 240 00:09:09,030 --> 00:09:07,680 human lives by making sure that 241 00:09:11,990 --> 00:09:09,040 everyone's informed and has the best 242 00:09:13,990 --> 00:09:12,000 information possible hs3 will use two 243 00:09:15,910 --> 00:09:14,000 nasa global hawk unmanned aerial 244 00:09:17,430 --> 00:09:15,920 vehicles one with an instrument sweep 245 00:09:18,870 --> 00:09:17,440 geared toward measurement of the 246 00:09:20,870 --> 00:09:18,880 environment and the other with 247 00:09:23,350 --> 00:09:20,880 instruments suited to inner core 248 00:09:25,590 --> 00:09:23,360 structure and processes the aircraft are 249 00:09:28,550 --> 00:09:25,600 capable of flight altitudes greater than 250 00:09:30,949 --> 00:09:28,560 55 000 feet in flight durations of up to 251 00:09:32,710 --> 00:09:30,959 30 hours more than 200 people will be 252 00:09:34,550 --> 00:09:32,720 involved in preparing and supporting the 253 00:09:36,470 --> 00:09:34,560 aircraft flight planning and aircraft 254 00:09:38,790 --> 00:09:36,480 coordination in conducting the science 255 00:09:40,550 --> 00:09:38,800 data collection it's the volume of data 256 00:09:42,310 --> 00:09:40,560 that really makes it unique and the 257 00:09:43,910 --> 00:09:42,320 scientists are all going to be working 258 00:09:45,509 --> 00:09:43,920 together and communicating and even 259 00:09:48,310 --> 00:09:45,519 showing real-time data during the 260 00:09:50,150 --> 00:09:48,320 mission to help them you know understand 261 00:09:51,829 --> 00:09:50,160 what they're seeing and communicate 262 00:09:53,590 --> 00:09:51,839 during their while they're doing their 263 00:09:55,670 --> 00:09:53,600 evaluation and all this stuff is going 264 00:09:57,590 --> 00:09:55,680 to be fed into models that could help us 265 00:09:59,829 --> 00:09:57,600 better predict storms in addition to the 266 00:10:02,949 --> 00:09:59,839 2012 mission the project will also be 267 00:10:05,030
