nasa 25 00:01:15,990 --> 00:01:14,000 administrator charlie bolden and spacex 26 00:01:18,070 --> 00:01:16,000 ceo elon musk 27 00:01:20,789 --> 00:01:18,080 those who participated in the online 28 00:01:22,710 --> 00:01:20,799 video chat could also pose questions 29 00:01:24,950 --> 00:01:22,720 through twitter and facebook i think 30 00:01:27,109 --> 00:01:24,960 we've got 23 student experiments that's 31 00:01:29,590 --> 00:01:27,119 special uh you know some of them are 32 00:01:31,270 --> 00:01:29,600 making repeat flights and um 33 00:01:33,510 --> 00:01:31,280 you know it's spacex meeting an 34 00:01:35,990 --> 00:01:33,520 obligation to students that where we 35 00:01:38,950 --> 00:01:36,000 didn't we didn't get around to doing all 36 00:01:43,190 --> 00:01:40,789 one of those science investigations 37 00:01:45,830 --> 00:01:43,200 going up to station on dragon named 38 00:01:48,950 --> 00:01:45,840 micro 6 will look at the effects of 39 00:01:51,510 --> 00:01:48,960 microgravity on a yeast our bodies use 40 00:01:53,749 --> 00:01:51,520 to stay healthy but when our immune 41 00:01:56,310 --> 00:01:53,759 systems are stressed 42 00:01:58,709 --> 00:01:56,320 albicans can grow out of control and 43 00:02:01,510 --> 00:01:58,719 produce infections in the mouth throat 44 00:02:04,069 --> 00:02:01,520 intestines and elsewhere by comparing 45 00:02:06,950 --> 00:02:04,079 cells grown in microgravity to cells 46 00:02:09,190 --> 00:02:06,960 grown in normal gravity researchers hope 47 00:02:14,790 --> 00:02:09,200 to learn how to better manage and treat 48 00:02:18,710 --> 00:02:16,949 another important milestone in nasa's 49 00:02:20,710 --> 00:02:18,720 partnership with industry to deliver 50 00:02:22,550 --> 00:02:20,720 cargo to the international space station 51 00:02:25,190 --> 00:02:22,560 has been reached at the wallops flight 52 00:02:28,070 --> 00:02:25,200 facility a test version of orbital 53 00:02:30,229 --> 00:02:28,080 sciences corporation's antares rocket 54 00:02:32,869 --> 00:02:30,239 rolled out to the mid-atlantic regional 55 00:02:35,430 --> 00:02:32,879 spaceport's launch pad 0a 56 00:02:37,830 --> 00:02:35,440 antares will carry orbital's cygnus 57 00:02:40,869 --> 00:02:37,840 cargo module to the iss 58 00:02:43,350 --> 00:02:40,879 a hot fire test of antares first stage 59 00:02:46,070 --> 00:02:43,360 is slated for later this year to be 60 00:02:48,150 --> 00:02:46,080 followed first by an antares test launch 61 00:02:53,190 --> 00:02:48,160 then a demonstration flight of an 62 00:02:56,790 --> 00:02:55,110 hi my name is daniel illuminati i'm the 63 00:02:58,949 --> 00:02:56,800 surface sampling and science phase lead 64 00:03:00,229 --> 00:02:58,959 and this is your mars curiosity rover 65 00:03:02,070 --> 00:03:00,239 update 66 00:03:03,750 --> 00:03:02,080 curiosity still heading to glenelg we've 67 00:03:05,350 --> 00:03:03,760 just stopped at the bathhouse rock 68 00:03:06,790 --> 00:03:05,360 formation to check it out with the 69 00:03:09,190 --> 00:03:06,800 robotic arm mounted instruments a hand 70 00:03:10,550 --> 00:03:09,200 lens imager and a spectrometer 71 00:03:12,630 --> 00:03:10,560 got some great science data there for 72 00:03:14,869 --> 00:03:12,640 the science team and now we're moving to 73 00:03:16,309 --> 00:03:14,879 a new location called rock nest and 74 00:03:18,390 --> 00:03:16,319 we've come to rock nest because it has 75 00:03:20,149 --> 00:03:18,400 nice wind wind-blown sand drifts 76 00:03:23,350 --> 00:03:20,159 at the rock nest location we really are 77 00:03:24,869 --> 00:03:23,360 entering a new phase in mars exploration 78 00:03:26,550 --> 00:03:24,879 with curiosity 79 00:03:28,229 --> 00:03:26,560 we're starting the surface sampling part 80 00:03:30,789 --> 00:03:28,239 of the mission the reason this is a 81 00:03:32,630 --> 00:03:30,799 one-ton rover 200 pound 82 00:03:34,309 --> 00:03:32,640 robotic arm is because we have these 83 00:03:36,149 --> 00:03:34,319 tools to acquire 84 00:03:37,990 --> 00:03:36,159 bits of mars you know either with a 85 00:03:39,910 --> 00:03:38,000 scoop or with a drill process those 86 00:03:41,270 --> 00:03:39,920 samples for our 87 00:03:42,710 --> 00:03:41,280 very sensitive analytical lab 88 00:03:45,270 --> 00:03:42,720 instruments 89 00:03:47,190 --> 00:03:45,280 so our scoop this is not a giant backhoe 90 00:03:49,110 --> 00:03:47,200 on mars we basically have more like an 91 00:03:51,270 --> 00:03:49,120 oversized tablespoon attached to the end 92 00:03:54,309 --> 00:03:51,280 of the arm and we grab on the order of 93 00:03:57,270 --> 00:03:54,319 20 grams of material and we position the 94 00:03:58,070 --> 00:03:57,280 arm over the soil target and then we 95 00:04:00,390 --> 00:03:58,080 just 96 00:04:01,830 --> 00:04:00,400 actuate the the scoop 97 00:04:04,149 --> 00:04:01,840 do a little bit of vibration to kind of 98 00:04:06,229 --> 00:04:04,159 level out the sample and then 99 00:04:08,470 --> 00:04:06,239 raise the arm up close the scoop and 100 00:04:09,990 --> 00:04:08,480 carry on with our sampling activity 101 00:04:11,509 --> 00:04:10,000 over the next two to three weeks we'll 102 00:04:14,309 --> 00:04:11,519 be doing the scooping and sample 103 00:04:16,310 --> 00:04:14,319 analysis activities and then from there 104 00:04:18,870 --> 00:04:16,320 we expect to spend a few more weeks 105 00:04:20,870 --> 00:04:18,880 driving over to the glenelg area proper 106 00:04:23,110 --> 00:04:20,880 doing scratch and sift science along the 107 00:04:24,710 --> 00:04:23,120 way with a robotic arm 108 00:04:26,310 --> 00:04:24,720 and once we get to glenelg we'll look 109 00:04:28,550 --> 00:04:26,320 forward to some exciting first-time 110 00:04:30,790 --> 00:04:28,560 drilling activities this has been your 111 00:04:33,909 --> 00:04:30,800 mars curiosity rover update check back 112 00:04:38,550
