1 00:00:08,330 --> 00:00:05,240 well good morning three years ago today 2 00:00:10,820 --> 00:00:08,340 the president was here in an empty high 3 00:00:15,049 --> 00:00:10,830 bay challenging us to go to an asteroid 4 00:00:17,689 --> 00:00:15,059 by 2025 today this is a world-class 5 00:00:20,300 --> 00:00:17,699 production facility with a flight 6 00:00:23,450 --> 00:00:20,310 article a flight vehicle Orion getting 7 00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:23,460 ready to fly next year we've made 8 00:00:28,820 --> 00:00:26,250 tremendous progress in our transition to 9 00:00:30,950 --> 00:00:28,830 the future and now with the announcement 10 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:30,960 during the budget rollout last week of 11 00:00:36,500 --> 00:00:33,570 our plans to retrieve an asteroid and 12 00:00:38,389 --> 00:00:36,510 send a crew to it we're moving forward 13 00:00:41,150 --> 00:00:38,399 to meet the president's challenge and 14 00:00:43,190 --> 00:00:41,160 this is not the only area that we've 15 00:00:45,500 --> 00:00:43,200 made tremendous progress in over the 16 00:00:48,889 --> 00:00:45,510 last three years out at launch complex 17 00:00:51,020 --> 00:00:48,899 39 we're readying pad be high bay three 18 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:51,030 in the Vehicle Assembly Building the LCC 19 00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:53,489 to meet our commitments to be ready to 20 00:01:00,170 --> 00:00:57,770 launch the Space Launch System in 2017 21 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:00,180 we've come this far and we've made this 22 00:01:05,450 --> 00:01:02,090 much progress because of the tremendous 23 00:01:08,179 --> 00:01:05,460 nasa contractor team in the cooperation 24 00:01:12,500 --> 00:01:08,189 between Johnson Marshall and Kennedy 25 00:01:14,510 --> 00:01:12,510 Space Center's as we move forward but 26 00:01:16,969 --> 00:01:14,520 rather than listen to me to talk about 27 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:16,979 it I want to bring the experts up here 28 00:01:22,340 --> 00:01:19,650 and let them tell you about the progress 29 00:01:24,980 --> 00:01:22,350 that we made in where we're going first 30 00:01:28,010 --> 00:01:24,990 up dan dan bacher from the exploration 31 00:01:35,690 --> 00:01:28,020 mission systems Directorate at 32 00:01:38,420 --> 00:01:35,700 headquarters dan thank you Bob and good 33 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:38,430 afternoon everyone and again welcome to 34 00:01:43,819 --> 00:01:41,610 the hardware NASA is very excited with 35 00:01:45,830 --> 00:01:43,829 our budget roll out from last week that 36 00:01:48,469 --> 00:01:45,840 you have seen to retrieve an asteroid 37 00:01:51,410 --> 00:01:48,479 and send a crew to it to explore that 38 00:01:53,780 --> 00:01:51,420 asteroid and return samples we have lots 39 00:01:56,420 --> 00:01:53,790 of work ahead of us on that challenging 40 00:01:58,399 --> 00:01:56,430 and complex mission we have to learn how 41 00:02:01,459 --> 00:01:58,409 to do solar electric propulsion we have 42 00:02:03,679 --> 00:02:01,469 to figure out how to detect asteroids of 43 00:02:06,050 --> 00:02:03,689 the size that we want to retrieve and 44 00:02:08,690 --> 00:02:06,060 explore and we have to build the 45 00:02:11,059 --> 00:02:08,700 capabilities to get the crew to 46 00:02:14,030 --> 00:02:11,069 the asteroid and what you see behind us 47 00:02:16,570 --> 00:02:14,040 is an example of that wonderful progress 48 00:02:19,369 --> 00:02:16,580 that has been made by the Orion team 49 00:02:21,830 --> 00:02:19,379 there's also great progress by the Space 50 00:02:23,770 --> 00:02:21,840 Launch System team getting the launch 51 00:02:26,540 --> 00:02:23,780 vehicle ready getting the crew 52 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:26,550 spacecraft prepared and all the crew 53 00:02:30,229 --> 00:02:28,170 cysts all the ground systems that we 54 00:02:33,259 --> 00:02:30,239 need to process and launch those 55 00:02:36,259 --> 00:02:33,269 vehicles so you see an example of that 56 00:02:37,970 --> 00:02:36,269 Hardware behind you we are thrilled with 57 00:02:40,039 --> 00:02:37,980 this mission we are looking forward to 58 00:02:43,580 --> 00:02:40,049 it it will be a challenge it will be 59 00:02:45,770 --> 00:02:43,590 complex and but NASA's up to the 60 00:02:48,350 --> 00:02:45,780 challenge and the team that you see 61 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:48,360 represented here is ready and willing to 62 00:02:53,569 --> 00:02:50,730 take it on with that I'd like to 63 00:02:55,640 --> 00:02:53,579 introduce mark Geyer our Orion program 64 00:03:03,190 --> 00:02:55,650 manager and he can talk about his 65 00:03:05,660 --> 00:03:03,200 hardware hey thank you for coming today 66 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:05,670 welcome to the Orion factory I'll talk a 67 00:03:09,850 --> 00:03:07,170 little bit about the vehicle behind me 68 00:03:13,220 --> 00:03:09,860 in a minute first of all I wanted to say 69 00:03:15,559 --> 00:03:13,230 that this architecture this Orion SLS 70 00:03:17,270 --> 00:03:15,569 ground ops architecture is extremely 71 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:17,280 capable very flexible and so I think 72 00:03:21,289 --> 00:03:18,690 this is another great example of that 73 00:03:23,300 --> 00:03:21,299 this asteroid mission we work together 74 00:03:26,420 --> 00:03:23,310 with the the folks who are starting to 75 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:26,430 plan this mission to understand exactly 76 00:03:30,500 --> 00:03:28,410 what the capabilities are needed and so 77 00:03:32,449 --> 00:03:30,510 Orion and SLS fit very well into this 78 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:32,459 plan will work through the rest of the 79 00:03:38,059 --> 00:03:35,730 summer to identify the details as we go 80 00:03:40,729 --> 00:03:38,069 through the specifics but we already 81 00:03:43,789 --> 00:03:40,739 know that these systems can meet the 82 00:03:46,069 --> 00:03:43,799 challenge of this new mission as you 83 00:03:47,569 --> 00:03:46,079 know many of the core systems that you 84 00:03:49,610 --> 00:03:47,579 need for any mission regardless of where 85 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:49,620 you go we're going to test on eft-1 86 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:52,250 which flies in a mere 17 months in 87 00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:55,530 September 2014 will test the heat shield 88 00:04:00,979 --> 00:03:58,130 the guidance navigation the parachutes 89 00:04:02,599 --> 00:04:00,989 avionics we're going to go 3,000 miles 90 00:04:04,009 --> 00:04:02,609 into space we're going to go about 91 00:04:05,979 --> 00:04:04,019 eighty four percent of the lunar entry 92 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:05,989 velocity to test the heat shield and 93 00:04:10,099 --> 00:04:08,250 again that's happening just in a few 94 00:04:12,740 --> 00:04:10,109 months so behind us is the flight 95 00:04:14,300 --> 00:04:12,750 article for eft-1 it's in a stand that 96 00:04:16,099 --> 00:04:14,310 we're going to use to test we're going 97 00:04:18,289 --> 00:04:16,109 to do a static load stesso will 98 00:04:20,449 --> 00:04:18,299 pressurize it and we have actuators that 99 00:04:22,099 --> 00:04:20,459 will push on the structure to simulate 100 00:04:24,529 --> 00:04:22,109 liftoff to stimulate 101 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:24,539 deploy to simulate the other good big 102 00:04:28,010 --> 00:04:26,250 loading test to make sure the structure 103 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:28,020 behaves as we expect and then we'll 104 00:04:31,939 --> 00:04:29,849 finish the outfitting put the boxes in 105 00:04:34,879 --> 00:04:31,949 cables weld the tubes and everything 106 00:04:36,379 --> 00:04:34,889 else and then send it out to the pad so 107 00:04:39,709 --> 00:04:36,389 the team here is doing a great job and 108 00:04:42,890 --> 00:04:39,719 the factory of course is right here at 109 00:04:46,189 --> 00:04:42,900 KSC and you're in it at the moment so we 110 00:04:48,439 --> 00:04:46,199 are now building a testing in 14 months 111 00:04:50,270 --> 00:04:48,449 we'll be flying and we're also now 112 00:04:51,980 --> 00:04:50,280 planning new and exciting mission so 113 00:04:54,170 --> 00:04:51,990 it's a great it's a great day to be part 114 00:04:55,510 --> 00:04:54,180 of ESD and part of Orion so now I'm 115 00:04:57,860 --> 00:04:55,520 going to introduce Keith Hefner who's 116 00:05:06,379 --> 00:04:57,870 the Space Launch System program planning 117 00:05:08,119 --> 00:05:06,389 can control manager good afternoon the 118 00:05:10,429 --> 00:05:08,129 Space Launch System capability is 119 00:05:12,230 --> 00:05:10,439 essential to America's future and human 120 00:05:14,749 --> 00:05:12,240 spaceflight and exploration of deep 121 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:14,759 space only with a heavy-lift launch 122 00:05:20,089 --> 00:05:17,370 vehicle can humans explore our solar 123 00:05:23,300 --> 00:05:20,099 system investigate asteroids and one day 124 00:05:26,300 --> 00:05:23,310 set foot on Mars respect to the 125 00:05:28,730 --> 00:05:26,310 exploration flight test-1 it will be 126 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:28,740 able to help us on the SLS program 127 00:05:34,730 --> 00:05:32,250 reduce our risks with respect to 128 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:34,740 providing early information on our 129 00:05:40,369 --> 00:05:36,930 vehicle stability guidance navigation 130 00:05:42,379 --> 00:05:40,379 and control environmental loads and many 131 00:05:45,529 --> 00:05:42,389 other factors that will help us in our 132 00:05:47,329 --> 00:05:45,539 design as we move forward you're on 133 00:05:49,820 --> 00:05:47,339 stage adapter is currently being 134 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:49,830 designed and built at Marshall it will 135 00:05:54,260 --> 00:05:51,810 be used for multiple flights not only 136 00:05:56,899 --> 00:05:54,270 for exploration flight test-1 but also 137 00:05:59,240 --> 00:05:56,909 for exploration mission 1 and 2 is a 138 00:06:01,100 --> 00:05:59,250 part of our pursuit of providing 139 00:06:04,309 --> 00:06:01,110 affordable solutions for human 140 00:06:07,219 --> 00:06:04,319 spaceflight with respect to progress 141 00:06:09,019 --> 00:06:07,229 that we're making on sls the sls team 142 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:09,029 has met all of its milestones and its 143 00:06:12,649 --> 00:06:11,250 objectives we're moving forward toward 144 00:06:15,469 --> 00:06:12,659 our vehicle preliminary design review 145 00:06:18,709 --> 00:06:15,479 this summer with respect to the other 146 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:18,719 elements on sls we have large tools 147 00:06:22,429 --> 00:06:20,490 needed that have been bought and put in 148 00:06:25,370 --> 00:06:22,439 place at the reshoot assembly facility 149 00:06:27,870 --> 00:06:25,380 down in New Orleans 150 00:06:30,620 --> 00:06:27,880 including what is one of the largest 151 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:30,630 welding tools that has ever been built 152 00:06:37,710 --> 00:06:34,890 the j-2x engine team has tested a 153 00:06:40,710 --> 00:06:37,720 selected laser melted or 3d designed 154 00:06:42,990 --> 00:06:40,720 part that will ultimately prepare us for 155 00:06:47,910 --> 00:06:43,000 putting a first such part on our first 156 00:06:51,180 --> 00:06:47,920 flight in 2017 also the j-2x is in the 157 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:51,190 test stand at Stennis now once that 158 00:06:56,280 --> 00:06:53,410 testing is completed then we will be 159 00:06:59,040 --> 00:06:56,290 moving forward with the rs.25 testing of 160 00:07:01,620 --> 00:06:59,050 that engine in that same test and our 161 00:07:04,650 --> 00:07:01,630 five segments booster team is currently 162 00:07:07,650 --> 00:07:04,660 looking toward a qualification test of a 163 00:07:09,690 --> 00:07:07,660 qualification motor later this year with 164 00:07:11,820 --> 00:07:09,700 all of this said and in summary the 165 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:11,830 Space Launch System Program is on course 166 00:07:17,580 --> 00:07:15,010 to deliver the national capability for 167 00:07:20,820 --> 00:07:17,590 beyond Earth orbit exploration beginning 168 00:07:24,170 --> 00:07:20,830 in 2017 and later to take our astronauts 169 00:07:27,150 --> 00:07:24,180 into outer space and ultimately to Mars 170 00:07:34,490 --> 00:07:27,160 now I'd like to introduce Scott Colorado 171 00:07:36,660 --> 00:07:34,500 from the ground systems area thank you 172 00:07:37,770 --> 00:07:36,670 as Keith said I'm with the ground 173 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:37,780 systems development and operations 174 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:41,530 program I have the job of essentially 175 00:07:45,330 --> 00:07:43,210 figuring out what Kennedy Space Center 176 00:07:46,860 --> 00:07:45,340 is going to do in the future and in the 177 00:07:49,230 --> 00:07:46,870 past to make sure that we're ready to 178 00:07:50,340 --> 00:07:49,240 support the rocket and spacecraft that 179 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:50,350 they've described the Space Launch 180 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:53,650 System and the Orion as we as we are 181 00:07:58,530 --> 00:07:56,290 here today three years ago we really hit 182 00:08:00,660 --> 00:07:58,540 the ground running trying to make sure 183 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:00,670 that we would be here and ready for the 184 00:08:07,050 --> 00:08:04,210 program facing us both eft-1 exploration 185 00:08:08,610 --> 00:08:07,060 flight test-1 as well as exploration 186 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:08,620 missions beyond that and I think you'll 187 00:08:12,060 --> 00:08:10,930 find we've made a lot of progress again 188 00:08:14,970 --> 00:08:12,070 I'm with the ground systems development 189 00:08:16,620 --> 00:08:14,980 operations program it's here at Kennedy 190 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:16,630 Space Center our job is to make sure 191 00:08:21,540 --> 00:08:18,970 that the assets that you're mostly 192 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:21,550 familiar with I would think like the 193 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:23,610 Vehicle Assembly Building launch pads 194 00:08:28,260 --> 00:08:26,050 Shuttle Landing Facility assets like 195 00:08:29,970 --> 00:08:28,270 that our job is to convert those from 196 00:08:32,010 --> 00:08:29,980 what they used to do primarily space 197 00:08:33,990 --> 00:08:32,020 shuttle program to get ready for these 198 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:34,000 for the new exploration mission so we're 199 00:08:38,230 --> 00:08:35,770 well on our way of doing that it was 200 00:08:40,510 --> 00:08:38,240 kind of a concept in most cases for 201 00:08:42,909 --> 00:08:40,520 years ago going forward now it's 202 00:08:44,670 --> 00:08:42,919 becoming reality one of the things we've 203 00:08:48,430 --> 00:08:44,680 done is taking a very flexible approach 204 00:08:51,070 --> 00:08:48,440 we know that missions change launch 205 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:51,080 vehicles evolve spacecraft evolve and we 206 00:08:54,370 --> 00:08:52,370 want to make sure that we're ready as 207 00:08:56,290 --> 00:08:54,380 those as those items change we can 208 00:08:58,090 --> 00:08:56,300 change with them so what you'll see here 209 00:09:00,730 --> 00:08:58,100 at Kennedy Space Center is a very 210 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:00,740 flexible evolvable approach so as the 211 00:09:05,139 --> 00:09:02,770 missions are defined and as the 212 00:09:07,290 --> 00:09:05,149 commercial or government users 213 00:09:09,220 --> 00:09:07,300 materialized we're ready to accept them 214 00:09:11,620 --> 00:09:09,230 just to walk you through a few things 215 00:09:15,340 --> 00:09:11,630 that we've touched on some of the major 216 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:15,350 assets for example launch pad 39b if you 217 00:09:19,269 --> 00:09:17,450 haven't been out there recently we've 218 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:19,279 done a major overhaul there we've pretty 219 00:09:23,139 --> 00:09:20,810 much cleaned the pad up we call it a 220 00:09:26,620 --> 00:09:23,149 clean pad concept where it is able to 221 00:09:28,660 --> 00:09:26,630 accept various users potentially in 222 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:28,670 addition to sls which is our primary 223 00:09:32,680 --> 00:09:31,010 mission the lightning protection towers 224 00:09:34,870 --> 00:09:32,690 have been created to create a universal 225 00:09:36,519 --> 00:09:34,880 lightning protection system as opposed 226 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:36,529 to one that was dedicated for shuttle 227 00:09:40,750 --> 00:09:39,170 like you would see a pad 39a today so 228 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:40,760 we've made some major progress there 229 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:42,410 we've also revamped the cryogenic 230 00:09:47,230 --> 00:09:44,450 systems the fuels commodities things 231 00:09:49,210 --> 00:09:47,240 like that the the ramp that goes up to 232 00:09:51,790 --> 00:09:49,220 the pad has gone through an overhaul 233 00:09:53,500 --> 00:09:51,800 itself so all sorts of systems have been 234 00:09:55,690 --> 00:09:53,510 changed to get ready for the for the 235 00:09:57,340 --> 00:09:55,700 next generation of spacecraft we've also 236 00:10:00,130 --> 00:09:57,350 we've done a lot of work on the VA be 237 00:10:02,019 --> 00:10:00,140 primarily the the high bays that you may 238 00:10:04,300 --> 00:10:02,029 be familiar with with the space shuttle 239 00:10:06,910 --> 00:10:04,310 program we're now converting those from 240 00:10:08,470 --> 00:10:06,920 a shuttle configuration the platforms 241 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:08,480 and ground support equipment the things 242 00:10:12,579 --> 00:10:10,490 that you would see there under shuttle 243 00:10:14,740 --> 00:10:12,589 have now been removed and they're 244 00:10:17,829 --> 00:10:14,750 currently in the design of putting in 245 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:17,839 new flexible platforms and ground 246 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:19,730 support equipment that would be able to 247 00:10:26,500 --> 00:10:22,610 evolve not only to support SLS but other 248 00:10:28,900 --> 00:10:26,510 programs as well we've also in the midst 249 00:10:31,210 --> 00:10:28,910 of building a mobile launcher similar to 250 00:10:32,829 --> 00:10:31,220 space shuttle program where the mobile 251 00:10:34,810 --> 00:10:32,839 launcher is a big steel structure that's 252 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:34,820 used it to actually interface with the 253 00:10:40,150 --> 00:10:37,370 rocket in the VAB it's picked up and 254 00:10:41,710 --> 00:10:40,160 taken to the pad that system has been 255 00:10:43,319 --> 00:10:41,720 designed and for the most part built 256 00:10:47,019 --> 00:10:43,329 we're in the midst of designing the 257 00:10:48,910 --> 00:10:47,029 changes to convert that to a SLS capable 258 00:10:50,470 --> 00:10:48,920 mobile launcher and we also have the 259 00:10:50,889 --> 00:10:50,480 crawler the crawler transporter I think 260 00:10:52,210 --> 00:10:50,899 a lot of 261 00:10:54,460 --> 00:10:52,220 we're familiar with where the crawler is 262 00:10:56,379 --> 00:10:54,470 being upgraded from a 12 million pound 263 00:10:58,239 --> 00:10:56,389 capacity to about 18 million pound 264 00:10:59,859 --> 00:10:58,249 capacity which will be able to pick up 265 00:11:02,439 --> 00:10:59,869 the mobile launcher and take that to the 266 00:11:05,769 --> 00:11:02,449 pad with the Space Launch System vehicle 267 00:11:08,350 --> 00:11:05,779 on board a few others we also are doing 268 00:11:09,819 --> 00:11:08,360 the Orion hazardous processing in a 269 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:09,829 facility here in the industrial area 270 00:11:14,470 --> 00:11:12,170 called the NPPF the multipurpose 271 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:14,480 processing facility that construction 272 00:11:19,509 --> 00:11:17,689 will happen this year and the launch 273 00:11:22,629 --> 00:11:19,519 control center the launch control center 274 00:11:24,549 --> 00:11:22,639 we've overhauled firing room 1 than old 275 00:11:27,069 --> 00:11:24,559 space shuttle firing room and now it's 276 00:11:28,660 --> 00:11:27,079 being converted for SLS so we're making 277 00:11:29,739 --> 00:11:28,670 sure that's ready along with the command 278 00:11:32,499 --> 00:11:29,749 and control system that's being 279 00:11:35,230 --> 00:11:32,509 outfitted to have that ready for SLS as 280 00:11:37,900 --> 00:11:35,240 well in the rain and finally the last 281 00:11:39,999 --> 00:11:37,910 system is here at Kennedy and ground 282 00:11:42,850 --> 00:11:40,009 ground systems development operations we 283 00:11:45,639 --> 00:11:42,860 have the role to recover the crew module 284 00:11:47,769 --> 00:11:45,649 both for eft-1 and beyond that and we're 285 00:11:49,809 --> 00:11:47,779 working on that as well to be ready to 286 00:11:53,169 --> 00:11:49,819 recover when they when they splashed 287 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:53,179 down so I think that's all I have and 288 00:11:57,669 --> 00:11:55,610 the only thing I would mention is again 289 00:11:59,769 --> 00:11:57,679 it was three years ago that we were put 290 00:12:01,600 --> 00:11:59,779 on this mission and since then we've 291 00:12:04,150 --> 00:12:01,610 come up with the architecture to support 292 00:12:06,129 --> 00:12:04,160 it we've come up with these assets 293 00:12:07,329 --> 00:12:06,139 redefined our architecture to support 294 00:12:09,730 --> 00:12:07,339 the program that we're working on now 295 00:12:12,369 --> 00:12:09,740 and we're well on our way to making that 296 00:12:17,799 --> 00:12:12,379 happen and I think we'll take your 297 00:12:19,689 --> 00:12:17,809 questions now at this time hi Peter King 298 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:19,699 with CBS Radio News and I've actually 299 00:12:28,150 --> 00:12:23,569 got a couple questions for both mr. 300 00:12:30,669 --> 00:12:28,160 Guyer and mr. Hefner and questions for 301 00:12:33,579 --> 00:12:30,679 each of you would be you know have the 302 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:33,589 biggest challenges so far in getting 303 00:12:40,059 --> 00:12:36,410 this done Ben financial or technical and 304 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:40,069 if you can get specific specific but in 305 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:44,689 layman's terms thank you I have to 306 00:12:49,300 --> 00:12:46,250 choose huh 307 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:49,310 so I think let me say this there are 308 00:12:54,220 --> 00:12:51,970 clearly technical challenges in 309 00:12:56,620 --> 00:12:54,230 integrating these systems to get this 310 00:12:57,940 --> 00:12:56,630 capability in in the vehicle and the 311 00:13:00,880 --> 00:12:57,950 requirements that we have on the 312 00:13:05,770 --> 00:13:00,890 schedule we've been given both the 313 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:05,780 reliability mass and schedule have been 314 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:07,490 a real challenge part of that is I think 315 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:10,010 again reinvigorating the supplier base 316 00:13:14,290 --> 00:13:11,810 across the country we use tens of 317 00:13:17,680 --> 00:13:14,300 suppliers in one case on the heat shield 318 00:13:20,410 --> 00:13:17,690 we used I think 14 different titanium 319 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:20,420 suppliers across the country so it's a 320 00:13:24,580 --> 00:13:22,370 struggle to get that done and get it 321 00:13:27,220 --> 00:13:24,590 done on time it also though as a benefit 322 00:13:28,660 --> 00:13:27,230 is that where there's suppliers across 323 00:13:30,310 --> 00:13:28,670 the country learning how to build these 324 00:13:32,410 --> 00:13:30,320 parts for spacecraft which i think is 325 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:32,420 important for the country and its 326 00:13:36,010 --> 00:13:33,890 competitive edge so I think that's been 327 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:36,020 a real challenge the budget the budget 328 00:13:40,270 --> 00:13:37,730 is a challenge really because it's a 329 00:13:42,430 --> 00:13:40,280 flat budget to be straight forward we we 330 00:13:43,900 --> 00:13:42,440 don't get the normal DD if you know the 331 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:43,910 development curve usually goes up and 332 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:46,010 then you ramp off we understand what the 333 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:47,450 budget is today and the challenges that 334 00:13:51,910 --> 00:13:50,210 we have as a country so we have a flat 335 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:51,920 budget that means that we have to 336 00:13:56,190 --> 00:13:53,810 develop some systems and then ramp off 337 00:13:58,540 --> 00:13:56,200 and develop the other one so it causes 338 00:14:00,970 --> 00:13:58,550 some strategies we have to work through 339 00:14:02,620 --> 00:14:00,980 and gapping some of those teams if you 340 00:14:04,180 --> 00:14:02,630 know what I mean we they move on to 341 00:14:06,370 --> 00:14:04,190 other parts of the company or on to 342 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:06,380 other things and then when we may need 343 00:14:09,670 --> 00:14:08,330 them back when we come back and we're 344 00:14:11,680 --> 00:14:09,680 done with these other systems and 345 00:14:12,850 --> 00:14:11,690 sometimes it's hard to ramp up enough to 346 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:12,860 do that so I think the budget has 347 00:14:16,300 --> 00:14:14,330 definitely been a challenge as well but 348 00:14:18,730 --> 00:14:16,310 we recognize that's part of the job it's 349 00:14:21,250 --> 00:14:18,740 not just going to an asteroid also doing 350 00:14:23,020 --> 00:14:21,260 it affordably in meeting the constraints 351 00:14:24,430 --> 00:14:23,030 that we've been given so I hope that 352 00:14:28,660 --> 00:14:24,440 answered your question for Ryan go ahead 353 00:14:31,329 --> 00:14:28,670 i would say on the sls side we try to 354 00:14:33,220 --> 00:14:31,339 use many of the same hardware elements 355 00:14:35,380 --> 00:14:33,230 to work carried over from the shuttle 356 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:35,390 program that being the Boosters and the 357 00:14:42,070 --> 00:14:39,410 rs.25 engines we do have one new element 358 00:14:44,260 --> 00:14:42,080 that being of course stages so i would 359 00:14:46,030 --> 00:14:44,270 say challenge wise i would say it's the 360 00:14:48,970 --> 00:14:46,040 integration of those various elements 361 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:48,980 within sls as well as the integration of 362 00:14:54,010 --> 00:14:51,410 sls with the other program elements 363 00:14:55,980 --> 00:14:54,020 outside of those with orion and PCV and 364 00:14:58,690 --> 00:14:55,990 of course with the ground systems area 365 00:14:59,500 --> 00:14:58,700 then the other big areas is more mention 366 00:15:01,990 --> 00:14:59,510 is our budget 367 00:15:04,030 --> 00:15:02,000 we are looking at and having to deal 368 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:04,040 with a flat budget for the budget 369 00:15:08,500 --> 00:15:06,890 horizon period so being able to pull off 370 00:15:10,870 --> 00:15:08,510 all the technical elements that have to 371 00:15:13,660 --> 00:15:10,880 be done within the schedule constraints 372 00:15:16,930 --> 00:15:13,670 that we have within that fixed budget is 373 00:15:20,580 --> 00:15:16,940 definitely a challenge for us follow up 374 00:15:23,230 --> 00:15:20,590 this is either for mr. cabana or mr. 375 00:15:25,750 --> 00:15:23,240 Colorado when do we expect when do you 376 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:25,760 expect all the KSC infrastructure to be 377 00:15:31,450 --> 00:15:28,370 in place so you'll be able to launch all 378 00:15:37,170 --> 00:15:31,460 of this from KSC as opposed to Cape 379 00:15:39,820 --> 00:15:37,180 Canaveral Air Station thank you our 380 00:15:42,190 --> 00:15:39,830 exploration mission 1 launch date is in 381 00:15:44,140 --> 00:15:42,200 December of 2017 so that's our target 382 00:15:50,860 --> 00:15:44,150 and so we'll be ready earlier that year 383 00:15:54,310 --> 00:15:50,870 to support for m1 okay todd halvorson of 384 00:15:56,890 --> 00:15:54,320 Florida today first for bob cabana and 385 00:15:59,250 --> 00:15:56,900 then a follow Bob I was wondering if you 386 00:16:02,620 --> 00:15:59,260 could tell us what your thoughts are 387 00:16:05,830 --> 00:16:02,630 about the selection of an asteroid as 388 00:16:09,790 --> 00:16:05,840 the initial target for the Orion 389 00:16:12,370 --> 00:16:09,800 spacecraft as opposed to say returning 390 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:12,380 to the moon like some in Congress would 391 00:16:18,790 --> 00:16:15,650 choose to do Todd we're excited about 392 00:16:20,230 --> 00:16:18,800 the about the mission I think it's 393 00:16:21,700 --> 00:16:20,240 really neat that the first time we fly 394 00:16:23,980 --> 00:16:21,710 it with crew they actually got some 395 00:16:26,140 --> 00:16:23,990 place to to go with it and something to 396 00:16:28,530 --> 00:16:26,150 accomplish with it this is not going to 397 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:28,540 be easy it's extremely challenging and 398 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:31,610 all the technology that is going to be 399 00:16:36,070 --> 00:16:33,650 required to accomplish this mission it's 400 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:36,080 all stuff that we need for further 401 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:38,810 exploration beyond our home planet the 402 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:40,810 solar electric propulsion the autonomous 403 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:44,210 rendezvous proximity ops docking robotic 404 00:16:50,650 --> 00:16:46,490 operations getting the crew there so I 405 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:50,660 think as we move on we're excited about 406 00:16:55,330 --> 00:16:53,810 it absolutely and you know we want to we 407 00:16:57,250 --> 00:16:55,340 want to explore we want to get beyond 408 00:16:58,990 --> 00:16:57,260 planet Earth and we're extremely proud 409 00:17:00,040 --> 00:16:59,000 of what we've accomplished so far and we 410 00:17:04,140 --> 00:17:00,050 look forward to the challenge of the 411 00:17:07,510 --> 00:17:04,150 future thanks and for guest Mark Guyer 412 00:17:09,670 --> 00:17:07,520 I'm wondering if you can give us an idea 413 00:17:11,590 --> 00:17:09,680 of what your major milestone 414 00:17:15,010 --> 00:17:11,600 bones are going to be with Orion between 415 00:17:17,050 --> 00:17:15,020 now and the flight in September 2014 416 00:17:18,700 --> 00:17:17,060 when you're going to put power on the 417 00:17:21,790 --> 00:17:18,710 vehicle for the first time and could you 418 00:17:26,020 --> 00:17:21,800 also update us on the planning for the 419 00:17:28,060 --> 00:17:26,030 follow-on pad abort mission Thanks great 420 00:17:29,710 --> 00:17:28,070 yes a couple of big things so we're 421 00:17:31,870 --> 00:17:29,720 doing this test now which is the static 422 00:17:34,210 --> 00:17:31,880 test and then what we're done we'll take 423 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:34,220 it out of this unit and actually finish 424 00:17:38,890 --> 00:17:36,050 the installation so we put a lot of the 425 00:17:41,860 --> 00:17:38,900 propulsion tubing equus tubing we do 426 00:17:44,020 --> 00:17:41,870 with about 300 welds on tubes right here 427 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:44,030 in this factory after this then we 428 00:17:47,260 --> 00:17:45,650 install the back shell in the tiles the 429 00:17:50,410 --> 00:17:47,270 tiles will actually be bonded here in 430 00:17:51,970 --> 00:17:50,420 this in this hall as well and all the 431 00:17:53,410 --> 00:17:51,980 cables that are going to go into this 432 00:17:56,170 --> 00:17:53,420 unit are being built here right here in 433 00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:56,180 this factory as well so power on now is 434 00:18:00,040 --> 00:17:57,770 probably going to be late summer Todd 435 00:18:02,140 --> 00:18:00,050 probably in that August timeframe the 436 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:02,150 big thing is getting the tubes welded we 437 00:18:06,010 --> 00:18:03,530 have to weld the tubes you don't want 438 00:18:07,360 --> 00:18:06,020 your computers if you think about it you 439 00:18:09,250 --> 00:18:07,370 wouldn't want your computer sitting next 440 00:18:10,660 --> 00:18:09,260 to a welder so we got to weld the tubes 441 00:18:12,490 --> 00:18:10,670 first then the computers will come and 442 00:18:14,410 --> 00:18:12,500 we'll stick them in and turn them on so 443 00:18:17,380 --> 00:18:14,420 that's that's the time frame will 444 00:18:19,660 --> 00:18:17,390 deliver this vehicle turn it over to the 445 00:18:21,940 --> 00:18:19,670 the launch vehicle folks probably in the 446 00:18:24,070 --> 00:18:21,950 january/february time frame of next year 447 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:24,080 that's what we're looking at remember 448 00:18:28,030 --> 00:18:26,450 the service module which is further down 449 00:18:30,310 --> 00:18:28,040 the unit which is basically made of 450 00:18:32,710 --> 00:18:30,320 composites and aluminum that also is 451 00:18:34,450 --> 00:18:32,720 being finished and that's part of the 452 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:34,460 pieces that have to be done we have a 453 00:18:39,370 --> 00:18:37,850 big fairing separation test that will 454 00:18:40,750 --> 00:18:39,380 happen in the summer is well taught if 455 00:18:42,730 --> 00:18:40,760 you remember the service module fairings 456 00:18:45,550 --> 00:18:42,740 that encapsulate the service module 457 00:18:47,770 --> 00:18:45,560 there's three very large fairings if you 458 00:18:49,570 --> 00:18:47,780 don't think we have the can't see the 459 00:18:51,490 --> 00:18:49,580 picture here but anyway they will be 460 00:18:53,650 --> 00:18:51,500 that's one of the key test is this is to 461 00:18:55,330 --> 00:18:53,660 test the separation of those faring so 462 00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:55,340 we'll do a test out in sunnyvale will 463 00:18:58,750 --> 00:18:57,530 actually blow the Pyro's and make sure 464 00:19:00,640 --> 00:18:58,760 that they separate correctly that's 465 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:00,650 coming up in the summer and then we 466 00:19:04,630 --> 00:19:02,210 actually do what we call a hot fire test 467 00:19:07,630 --> 00:19:04,640 of the propulsion system that will be 468 00:19:10,690 --> 00:19:07,640 mounted on the crew module where we 469 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:10,700 actually have key thrusters tanks and 470 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:13,250 tubing to simulate how the thrusters are 471 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:15,050 operate relative to one another to make 472 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:16,250 sure that they are integrated well that 473 00:19:20,830 --> 00:19:18,770 will actually be out in Sacramento also 474 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:20,840 I think may june timeframe so those are 475 00:19:26,900 --> 00:19:21,570 the key things 476 00:19:29,390 --> 00:19:26,910 anything else sorry Hollywood fly so the 477 00:19:31,430 --> 00:19:29,400 following flight is 2017 just like Scott 478 00:19:34,250 --> 00:19:31,440 said so our plan is to e-m1 is the next 479 00:19:37,180 --> 00:19:34,260 flight so we'll be we're actually going 480 00:19:39,620 --> 00:19:37,190 through the design cycle now for em1 481 00:19:41,810 --> 00:19:39,630 which is the flight that'll fly in 17 482 00:19:44,360 --> 00:19:41,820 and that design cycle we roll in changes 483 00:19:46,130 --> 00:19:44,370 like some of the math savings ideas to 484 00:19:48,020 --> 00:19:46,140 get the mast down from the flight test 485 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:48,030 article that's actually happening now in 486 00:19:55,010 --> 00:19:51,530 the spring actually quick pollen and 487 00:19:58,070 --> 00:19:55,020 have you removed from the schedule in 488 00:20:01,310 --> 00:19:58,080 the flight on the Peacekeeper know so 489 00:20:06,170 --> 00:20:01,320 that's an 18 so IAM one is in 17 and 490 00:20:08,660 --> 00:20:06,180 then a a2 is in 18 so that is an abort 491 00:20:11,210 --> 00:20:08,670 test so we'll take will take this crew 492 00:20:13,730 --> 00:20:11,220 module that we flew on eft-1 will refurb 493 00:20:16,220 --> 00:20:13,740 it will put a new launch abort system on 494 00:20:17,510 --> 00:20:16,230 it new fairings new fifty five hundred 495 00:20:19,540 --> 00:20:17,520 thousand pound abort motor on it 496 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:19,550 attitude control motor jettison motor 497 00:20:24,740 --> 00:20:21,810 will put it on top of a peacekeeper 498 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:24,750 stage and launch it out of LC 46 I 499 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:27,210 believe right here at KSC so it'll be 500 00:20:32,300 --> 00:20:29,570 what it'll it's a much different test 501 00:20:34,670 --> 00:20:32,310 you're basically trying to get to max 502 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:34,680 dynamic pressure and transonic speed 503 00:20:39,740 --> 00:20:37,650 when you when you're going to very high 504 00:20:41,390 --> 00:20:39,750 speeds and high dynamic pressure and you 505 00:20:43,190 --> 00:20:41,400 want to make sure that the launch abort 506 00:20:45,140 --> 00:20:43,200 system can actually fly the vehicle that 507 00:20:46,430 --> 00:20:45,150 it doesn't tumble so that's the 508 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:46,440 condition we're trying to put it in and 509 00:20:49,730 --> 00:20:47,850 it's a great test for here because then 510 00:20:52,820 --> 00:20:49,740 we can land in the water and recover the 511 00:20:55,490 --> 00:20:52,830 element afterwards so that's an 18 okay 512 00:20:57,380 --> 00:20:55,500 uh mark you can go ahead and stake as my 513 00:20:59,150 --> 00:20:57,390 own actions actually Jason Ryan for 514 00:21:02,360 --> 00:20:59,160 America's space com I'm going to follow 515 00:21:04,130 --> 00:21:02,370 up on what marks what Todd said was with 516 00:21:06,410 --> 00:21:04,140 the milestones we're looking at we're 517 00:21:07,820 --> 00:21:06,420 seeing Orion being developed here but 518 00:21:09,650 --> 00:21:07,830 the public still has this perception 519 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:09,660 that for some reason we're out of the 520 00:21:13,490 --> 00:21:11,850 spaceflight business when do you think 521 00:21:16,070 --> 00:21:13,500 this particular version of Orion which 522 00:21:17,270 --> 00:21:16,080 is going to fly ft 1 what milestone will 523 00:21:18,380 --> 00:21:17,280 be the one that lets the public know 524 00:21:21,410 --> 00:21:18,390 that guess what we're back in the game 525 00:21:23,930 --> 00:21:21,420 thank you well the most obvious would be 526 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:23,940 the flight itself right and so will be 527 00:21:27,740 --> 00:21:26,010 on a will be on a large rocket will be 528 00:21:30,170 --> 00:21:27,750 flying around out here out of the cape 529 00:21:32,159 --> 00:21:30,180 on the Delta for heavy and then we'll be 530 00:21:34,229 --> 00:21:32,169 landing off the coast of California 531 00:21:35,279 --> 00:21:34,239 and recover just like a nominal recovery 532 00:21:37,919 --> 00:21:35,289 would be like a nominal so I think 533 00:21:39,659 --> 00:21:37,929 that's the key thing what obviously 534 00:21:41,700 --> 00:21:39,669 eft-1 does a huge amount of work for us 535 00:21:43,169 --> 00:21:41,710 in testing these key systems making sure 536 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:43,179 the parachutes work guidance works 537 00:21:47,549 --> 00:21:45,850 separation works heat shield works all 538 00:21:49,799 --> 00:21:47,559 those things are important technical 539 00:21:52,169 --> 00:21:49,809 things but I think you're pulling on a 540 00:21:54,149 --> 00:21:52,179 very important point it also shows its 541 00:21:57,239 --> 00:21:54,159 its demonstrable evidence that we're 542 00:21:59,729 --> 00:21:57,249 actually flying exploration and getting 543 00:22:02,489 --> 00:21:59,739 ready to fly people so Steve Barrett 544 00:22:03,899 --> 00:22:02,499 WFTV and this is a good springboard I 545 00:22:05,909 --> 00:22:03,909 have no preference who answers this 546 00:22:07,769 --> 00:22:05,919 obviously Space Coast always worried 547 00:22:09,989 --> 00:22:07,779 about jobs in the wake of the shuttle 548 00:22:12,419 --> 00:22:09,999 programming program winding down you 549 00:22:14,129 --> 00:22:12,429 have a rough timeline of when jobs will 550 00:22:16,619 --> 00:22:14,139 start to peak and people again we'll see 551 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:16,629 not only are we back in the space flight 552 00:22:23,430 --> 00:22:18,730 business but we're back in the jobs on 553 00:22:25,139 --> 00:22:23,440 the Space Coast business numbers you can 554 00:22:27,060 --> 00:22:25,149 throw out there that you know will see 555 00:22:29,759 --> 00:22:27,070 this number then and this number here I 556 00:22:31,710 --> 00:22:29,769 mean this production facility supports 557 00:22:34,529 --> 00:22:31,720 300 jobs that came here in a partnership 558 00:22:36,899 --> 00:22:34,539 with the state of Florida that paid for 559 00:22:39,109 --> 00:22:36,909 the refurbishment of this facility and I 560 00:22:41,340 --> 00:22:39,119 mean this is a phenomenal facility 561 00:22:43,739 --> 00:22:41,350 Apollo astronauts went to the moon from 562 00:22:44,999 --> 00:22:43,749 here and one day astronauts are going to 563 00:22:48,450 --> 00:22:45,009 go to Mars from here I mean that's 564 00:22:49,859 --> 00:22:48,460 pretty darn amazing the jobs will ramp 565 00:22:52,799 --> 00:22:49,869 up but it's never going to be what it 566 00:22:54,659 --> 00:22:52,809 was you know as I've said before we're 567 00:22:57,599 --> 00:22:54,669 flying different vehicles we have a 568 00:22:59,729 --> 00:22:57,609 different mission and you know as we 569 00:23:02,369 --> 00:22:59,739 progress when we get closer to launch 570 00:23:04,859 --> 00:23:02,379 and we're processing the actual vehicle 571 00:23:08,759 --> 00:23:04,869 here we'll see a few more jobs but it's 572 00:23:11,340 --> 00:23:08,769 not just a job supporting SLS MPCV you 573 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:11,350 know Orion our exploration program it's 574 00:23:14,700 --> 00:23:12,970 the jobs that we bring here supporting 575 00:23:16,919 --> 00:23:14,710 commercial crews supporting commercial 576 00:23:19,830 --> 00:23:16,929 spaceflight that's what's also critical 577 00:23:21,299 --> 00:23:19,840 to the area as I've said in the past I 578 00:23:22,889 --> 00:23:21,309 think eventually we'll get to where we 579 00:23:25,859 --> 00:23:22,899 have around 10,000 people working here 580 00:23:27,810 --> 00:23:25,869 at the cape and that hopefully within 581 00:23:30,330 --> 00:23:27,820 you know the next two to three years 582 00:23:31,979 --> 00:23:30,340 we'll see that but there's no guarantees 583 00:23:33,299 --> 00:23:31,989 we'll see how it all plays out but we're 584 00:23:38,039 --> 00:23:33,309 doing all the right things to make that 585 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:38,049 happen I think one of the key things 586 00:23:43,169 --> 00:23:40,330 about pushing on it is so it's a similar 587 00:23:44,369 --> 00:23:43,179 vehicle to operate in process but one of 588 00:23:45,690 --> 00:23:44,379 the key things we did was bring the 589 00:23:47,909 --> 00:23:45,700 factory here this is the first time that 590 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:47,919 the Assembly of the flight article is 591 00:23:51,450 --> 00:23:49,570 actually here in Florida usually it's 592 00:23:52,859 --> 00:23:51,460 been in other states so that's a huge 593 00:23:56,070 --> 00:23:52,869 change for a run and you see it here 594 00:23:57,419 --> 00:23:56,080 today all the the welders the people 595 00:24:01,190 --> 00:23:57,429 doing the installations the people 596 00:24:04,830 --> 00:24:03,239 I was going to say at the end I'll say 597 00:24:06,570 --> 00:24:04,840 it now because the questions it brought 598 00:24:08,129 --> 00:24:06,580 up I mean we are excited about the 599 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:08,139 mission that we have but we're really 600 00:24:11,820 --> 00:24:10,210 excited to show you the progress that 601 00:24:13,649 --> 00:24:11,830 we've made we've made tremendous 602 00:24:15,659 --> 00:24:13,659 progress and we want you to see it and 603 00:24:17,399 --> 00:24:15,669 you know that's a real flight vehicle 604 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:17,409 behind us that's gonna fly next year 605 00:24:20,669 --> 00:24:19,090 that's pretty darn amazing considering 606 00:24:27,239 --> 00:24:20,679 this was an empty high bay three years 607 00:24:29,759 --> 00:24:27,249 ago there are any green wmf e-news I 608 00:24:32,970 --> 00:24:29,769 have two questions actually the first is 609 00:24:38,759 --> 00:24:32,980 how has sequestration affected the Orion 610 00:24:40,529 --> 00:24:38,769 program and also can you explain as I 611 00:24:42,060 --> 00:24:40,539 understand it the Orion capsule will 612 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:42,070 launch next year on the Atlas 5 rocket 613 00:24:47,879 --> 00:24:45,730 and it will launch in 2017 I think on 614 00:24:51,210 --> 00:24:47,889 the sls can you explain the difference 615 00:24:53,609 --> 00:24:51,220 between the Atlas and the SLS and what 616 00:24:56,430 --> 00:24:53,619 added capabilities the SLS will have in 617 00:24:59,430 --> 00:24:56,440 addition to or that will make it better 618 00:25:01,499 --> 00:24:59,440 than Alice let's see i'll start with the 619 00:25:03,659 --> 00:25:01,509 technical any eat which is easier to 620 00:25:05,639 --> 00:25:03,669 answer so it's actually a delta for 621 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:05,649 heavy it's similar to an atlas 5 and 622 00:25:09,839 --> 00:25:07,210 capability delta for heavy is a little 623 00:25:11,700 --> 00:25:09,849 more capable and it actually is easier 624 00:25:13,859 --> 00:25:11,710 for us to integrate you know we're on 625 00:25:15,239 --> 00:25:13,869 the orion we have not just the capsule 626 00:25:17,549 --> 00:25:15,249 itself in service module but also a 627 00:25:19,710 --> 00:25:17,559 launch abort and on delta 4 we can 628 00:25:21,419 --> 00:25:19,720 actually attach that to the upper stage 629 00:25:22,799 --> 00:25:21,429 structure of the Delta Force it was easy 630 00:25:26,460 --> 00:25:22,809 to integrate so that's why we chose the 631 00:25:28,799 --> 00:25:26,470 Delta for Delta for can really just just 632 00:25:30,479 --> 00:25:28,809 gets us enough to do a good test it gets 633 00:25:31,950 --> 00:25:30,489 us like I said about 3,600 nautical 634 00:25:34,379 --> 00:25:31,960 miles that's its real capability to 635 00:25:36,450 --> 00:25:34,389 throw the Orion this particular around 636 00:25:37,950 --> 00:25:36,460 configuration so it gets us like I said 637 00:25:39,509 --> 00:25:37,960 to about eighty four percent of the 638 00:25:43,409 --> 00:25:39,519 lunar velocity so that's a great test 639 00:25:45,869 --> 00:25:43,419 for the heat shield while SLS is getting 640 00:25:48,060 --> 00:25:45,879 finished but you need SLS to do these 641 00:25:49,759 --> 00:25:48,070 big missions you need SLS to go do this 642 00:25:52,859 --> 00:25:49,769 asteroid mission because you need more 643 00:25:54,779 --> 00:25:52,869 velocity you need more energy to push it 644 00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:54,789 further into the solar system so that to 645 00:25:59,340 --> 00:25:57,250 me that's the big difference 646 00:26:00,630 --> 00:25:59,350 and I'll and then as far as 647 00:26:03,150 --> 00:26:00,640 sequestration you know we're still 648 00:26:05,610 --> 00:26:03,160 working through that right now we're 649 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:05,620 were it doesn't affect it doesn't 650 00:26:09,570 --> 00:26:07,690 significantly affect our our bottom-line 651 00:26:12,360 --> 00:26:09,580 budget so that was good for us it wasn't 652 00:26:14,130 --> 00:26:12,370 a big change and so we're working with 653 00:26:15,990 --> 00:26:14,140 headquarters to see exactly what the 654 00:26:24,169 --> 00:26:16,000 dollars will be but it hasn't changed 655 00:26:29,869 --> 00:26:27,799 any other questions well again I want to 656 00:26:31,519 --> 00:26:29,879 thank you all for coming today as I said 657 00:26:33,139 --> 00:26:31,529 we are extremely excited about our 658 00:26:35,299 --> 00:26:33,149 mission but we're extremely excited 659 00:26:38,090 --> 00:26:35,309 about the progress that we've made and 660 00:26:39,769 --> 00:26:38,100 we'll try and find more opportunities as 661 00:26:42,409 --> 00:26:39,779 we move ahead to really show the 662 00:26:43,519 --> 00:26:42,419 progress we're making because we're 663 00:26:45,859 --> 00:26:43,529 going to get there we're going to make 664 00:26:50,149 --> 00:26:45,869 this happen on time within budget that's 665 00:26:51,739 --> 00:26:50,159 our goal and i think it's it's really an 666 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:51,749 awesome time to be here at the Kennedy 667 00:26:56,180 --> 00:26:53,850 Space Center to see the progress that 668 00:27:30,450 --> 00:26:56,190 we're making toward the future so thanks 669 00:27:35,790 --> 00:27:32,850 this is a probably the most exciting 670 00:27:38,310 --> 00:27:35,800 point in a program from the standpoint 671 00:27:40,110 --> 00:27:38,320 of activating the factory the stage of 672 00:27:42,230 --> 00:27:40,120 the program that we're dealing with is 673 00:27:45,450 --> 00:27:42,240 it's called confidence hardware and 674 00:27:48,420 --> 00:27:45,460 that's when we take flight form hardware 675 00:27:52,290 --> 00:27:48,430 run it through all the tooling use that 676 00:27:55,290 --> 00:27:52,300 for subsequent testing and fit ups all 677 00:28:00,570 --> 00:27:55,300 of the tooling that is is going in is up 678 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:00,580 sighs to scale for the SLS program some 679 00:28:08,070 --> 00:28:03,730 of the vertical tooling is in a building 680 00:28:10,710 --> 00:28:08,080 that is probably 15 stories tall the 681 00:28:13,230 --> 00:28:10,720 largest section of the rocket is the 682 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:13,240 fuel tank the hydrogen tank you have to 683 00:28:18,120 --> 00:28:16,090 stack that with the other sections of 684 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:18,130 the rocket inner tank the engine section 685 00:28:23,130 --> 00:28:20,290 the forward skirt put all that together 686 00:28:26,100 --> 00:28:23,140 you've got a very large rocket we're 687 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:26,110 looking at completing the first flight 688 00:28:34,780 --> 00:28:31,570 vehicle at math in May of 2016 and we're 689 00:28:39,710 --> 00:28:37,640 slm is selective laser melting it's a 690 00:28:44,380 --> 00:28:39,720 method of turning powdered metal finely 691 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:44,390 grained powdered metal into solid parts 692 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:47,010 the design is done straight from 3d CAD 693 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:49,770 models which is standard in the industry 694 00:28:54,230 --> 00:28:51,570 you can use any kind of commercial 695 00:28:56,330 --> 00:28:54,240 software and the machine takes that and 696 00:28:58,220 --> 00:28:56,340 cuts that into a bunch of slices and 697 00:28:59,540 --> 00:28:58,230 build them sliced by slicing what we 698 00:29:01,070 --> 00:28:59,550 have to do in order to trust the 699 00:29:05,750 --> 00:29:01,080 material is we have to do a lot of 700 00:29:08,930 --> 00:29:05,760 testing on the ground back in 2011 we 701 00:29:12,070 --> 00:29:08,940 built a duct using this process for the 702 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:12,080 j-2x and we hot fired it 703 00:29:16,930 --> 00:29:14,690 and what we saw was basically no 704 00:29:18,789 --> 00:29:16,940 deterioration of the material we built 705 00:29:21,009 --> 00:29:18,799 the one part for thirty-five cents on 706 00:29:23,529 --> 00:29:21,019 the dollar more complex parts we think 707 00:29:26,049 --> 00:29:23,539 the cost savings are approaches of order 708 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:26,059 of magnitude if this technology proves 709 00:29:30,669 --> 00:29:28,130 out like we think it will the schedule 710 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:30,679 savings and the cost savings is is 711 00:29:38,110 --> 00:29:35,090 almost beyond imagination the work that 712 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:38,120 we're doing here is to support the Orion 713 00:29:43,299 --> 00:29:41,330 test flight which is eft-1 the hardware 714 00:29:48,070 --> 00:29:43,309 that we're manufacturing here in this 715 00:29:53,430 --> 00:29:48,080 shot is the adapter for the Delta for 716 00:29:59,830 --> 00:29:56,830 to complete the welded structure you 717 00:30:04,360 --> 00:29:59,840 have three vertical or longitude in the 718 00:30:07,090 --> 00:30:04,370 welds that join the barrel panels into a 719 00:30:09,850 --> 00:30:07,100 cone it moves from the vertical well 720 00:30:11,830 --> 00:30:09,860 tool to the robotic well too for the 721 00:30:13,450 --> 00:30:11,840 circumferential wells the 722 00:30:16,930 --> 00:30:13,460 circumferential wells are the welds that 723 00:30:19,899 --> 00:30:16,940 join the welded cone structure to the 724 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:19,909 forward and aft ring flanges and that 725 00:30:24,289 --> 00:30:22,130 pretty much provides your primary 726 00:30:27,259 --> 00:30:24,299 structure 727 00:30:31,049 --> 00:30:27,269 we would a NASA are passionate about 728 00:30:34,489 --> 00:30:31,059 stem SLS with that Tennessee Tech for 729 00:30:38,909 --> 00:30:34,499 engineering week we sat on a panel and 730 00:30:40,769 --> 00:30:38,919 we did video talks with several 731 00:30:44,039 --> 00:30:40,779 different elementary middle and high 732 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:44,049 school students their engineering week 733 00:30:49,710 --> 00:30:45,850 they have shared with us who usually 734 00:30:51,719 --> 00:30:49,720 draws about 70 people and on a Friday 735 00:30:54,090 --> 00:30:51,729 night one of our programs to drew more 736 00:30:56,249 --> 00:30:54,100 than 400 the more that we can get people 737 00:30:57,719 --> 00:30:56,259 involved in those creative ways and more 738 00:31:00,029 --> 00:30:57,729 successful we're going to be the 739 00:31:03,599 --> 00:31:00,039 outreach for inspiring the future is 740 00:31:06,989 --> 00:31:03,609 such an important goal of NASA's so we 741 00:31:09,359 --> 00:31:06,999 have to foster that inspiration and that 742 00:31:19,820 --> 00:31:09,369 dedication to learning that's necessary 743 00:31:24,719 --> 00:31:22,259 there's a lot of work on on the VA be 744 00:31:27,989 --> 00:31:24,729 getting ready for SLS and Orion coming 745 00:31:30,869 --> 00:31:27,999 in 17 in the VA be yeah we've built a 746 00:31:32,629 --> 00:31:30,879 full-scale mock-up the main thing we're 747 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:32,639 looking for is the handling and axis 748 00:31:37,109 --> 00:31:34,570 what we're looking at we're looking at 749 00:31:38,999 --> 00:31:37,119 get some of the ogive panels from the 750 00:31:41,339 --> 00:31:39,009 dta which are the ground test article 751 00:31:42,930 --> 00:31:41,349 they work great to do the practicing 752 00:31:45,629 --> 00:31:42,940 just like we used to see them and then 753 00:31:47,940 --> 00:31:45,639 last we are working pretty pretty heavy 754 00:31:51,210 --> 00:31:47,950 on the eft-1 park and we're talking 755 00:31:53,279 --> 00:31:51,220 we're only 18 months away the whole 756 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:53,289 program it's all its massive successful 757 00:31:56,820 --> 00:31:54,970 it's not just ground systems or Ryan or 758 00:31:58,799 --> 00:31:56,830 SLS so even though go they're going off 759 00:32:02,039 --> 00:31:58,809 a delta for having this flight 760 00:32:05,140 --> 00:32:02,049 successful does help sls AMG sdl it's 761 00:32:08,390 --> 00:32:05,150 going to give us a lot of experience 762 00:32:11,270 --> 00:32:08,400 we did a one-year design on the entire 763 00:32:14,180 --> 00:32:11,280 crawl away from the VA be to pate and 764 00:32:17,210 --> 00:32:14,190 from the VA be to Pat be over the years 765 00:32:20,270 --> 00:32:17,220 the top level rock has been referred 766 00:32:22,310 --> 00:32:20,280 multiple times the actual foundation the 767 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:22,320 lime rock which is what we're doing now 768 00:32:27,470 --> 00:32:24,330 has been refurbished since it was 769 00:32:29,570 --> 00:32:27,480 installed we are reinstalling lime rock 770 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:29,580 and bring it back to print and then 771 00:32:32,780 --> 00:32:31,290 we'll install some fresh river rock on 772 00:32:34,909 --> 00:32:32,790 top and then hopefully be good for 773 00:32:37,130 --> 00:32:34,919 another 50 years currently the contract 774 00:32:39,159 --> 00:32:37,140 is about twenty percent complete we're 775 00:32:43,190 --> 00:32:39,169 looking for a total completion date in 776 00:32:46,039 --> 00:32:43,200 mid-2014 the crawler transporter as it 777 00:32:49,250 --> 00:32:46,049 finishes its upgrades it will exercise 778 00:32:54,110 --> 00:32:49,260 or stretch and go up and down the crawl 779 00:32:56,390 --> 00:32:54,120 away we have almost 47 different 780 00:32:58,520 --> 00:32:56,400 projects that touch almost every system 781 00:33:01,130 --> 00:32:58,530 on the crawler the drivers cabs of 782 00:33:03,020 --> 00:33:01,140 breaks the generators we're increasing 783 00:33:04,430 --> 00:33:03,030 the generator capacities who are able to 784 00:33:05,990 --> 00:33:04,440 provide more power to the mobile 785 00:33:07,730 --> 00:33:06,000 launcher to the vehicle to the 786 00:33:09,409 --> 00:33:07,740 spacecraft within the next two weeks 787 00:33:11,180 --> 00:33:09,419 we're going to be able to take the belt 788 00:33:13,789 --> 00:33:11,190 off the crawler remove the old 789 00:33:16,250 --> 00:33:13,799 assemblies and start assembling the new 790 00:33:18,950 --> 00:33:16,260 components in place followed by the gel 791 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:18,960 cylinders the hydraulic cylinders what 792 00:33:23,090 --> 00:33:20,490 the gel cylinders do when you're 793 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:23,100 carrying a load they automatically keep 794 00:33:27,230 --> 00:33:25,530 the crawler completely stabilized so the 795 00:33:29,799 --> 00:33:27,240 vehicle does not see any movement 796 00:33:32,810 --> 00:33:29,809 especially when you go on up the ramp 797 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:32,820 after we complete the modifications will 798 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:42,440 18 months from launch is not very far 799 00:33:46,460 --> 00:33:44,250 away really in the grand scheme of 800 00:33:48,710 --> 00:33:46,470 things you think about trying to get all 801 00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:48,720 the systems on board the guys are going 802 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:50,370 great guns at putting all the secondary 803 00:33:53,780 --> 00:33:52,530 structure in which absolutely has to be 804 00:33:55,820 --> 00:33:53,790 done right before they start putting the 805 00:33:57,920 --> 00:33:55,830 systems in but you think about still all 806 00:34:00,020 --> 00:33:57,930 the wiring that needs to be done and all 807 00:34:03,110 --> 00:34:00,030 the plumbing that needs to be done and 808 00:34:06,140 --> 00:34:03,120 welded back in November we had an issue 809 00:34:07,700 --> 00:34:06,150 we took the pressure vessel to prove we 810 00:34:10,070 --> 00:34:07,710 had crack generated in the primary 811 00:34:11,659 --> 00:34:10,080 structure so sort of all hands on deck 812 00:34:13,490 --> 00:34:11,669 if you will to go figure out what 813 00:34:16,070 --> 00:34:13,500 happened and why and how to fix it and 814 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:16,080 so we went in and just basically created 815 00:34:19,580 --> 00:34:17,970 the guys created some some fittings to 816 00:34:21,020 --> 00:34:19,590 offload the cracked part of the 817 00:34:23,270 --> 00:34:21,030 structure and then the technicians at 818 00:34:24,980 --> 00:34:23,280 the ONC went in and cut the cut the 819 00:34:26,570 --> 00:34:24,990 cracks out and there the process of 820 00:34:29,060 --> 00:34:26,580 putting that all putting that all 821 00:34:31,159 --> 00:34:29,070 together now so it'll be retested in in 822 00:34:32,720 --> 00:34:31,169 April for the next few weeks will take a 823 00:34:34,909 --> 00:34:32,730 little bit of a back seat to get in the 824 00:34:37,010 --> 00:34:34,919 crew module through its big structural 825 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:37,020 test when the structures guys will put a 826 00:34:41,780 --> 00:34:39,330 focus put focused attention on to the 827 00:34:42,890 --> 00:34:41,790 service module getting it finished and 828 00:34:47,570 --> 00:34:42,900 built up and then it goes through a 829 00:34:49,430 --> 00:34:47,580 structural test as well see past stands 830 00:34:52,669 --> 00:34:49,440 for the capsule parachute assembly 831 00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:52,679 system we are building doing the 832 00:34:57,530 --> 00:34:54,330 development of the parachute system for 833 00:34:59,810 --> 00:34:57,540 trying the military have developed a 834 00:35:02,780 --> 00:34:59,820 technique called low velocity air drops 835 00:35:05,090 --> 00:35:02,790 and they set up the conditions for which 836 00:35:08,150 --> 00:35:05,100 then to start the sequence of the Orion 837 00:35:11,810 --> 00:35:08,160 parachute system and so we work very 838 00:35:15,050 --> 00:35:11,820 hard to reduce the risk as much as we 839 00:35:17,570 --> 00:35:15,060 can to understand as much as we can in 840 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:17,580 order for when we do fly this crew it's 841 00:35:22,790 --> 00:35:19,530 going to be a safe vehicle so over the 842 00:35:26,090 --> 00:35:22,800 next six months very happy that we will 843 00:35:28,670 --> 00:35:26,100 be delivering our parachutes to the Cape 844 00:35:33,650 --> 00:35:28,680 to the ONC building to be installed in 845 00:35:35,150 --> 00:35:33,660 the eft-1 vehicle the NBL we're kind of 846 00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:35,160 working on everything post splashdown 847 00:35:40,339 --> 00:35:38,130 we're working with folks at a KSC in 848 00:35:42,769 --> 00:35:40,349 that of Patrick Air Force Base and 849 00:35:44,779 --> 00:35:42,779 with navy divers out of san diego 850 00:35:47,809 --> 00:35:44,789 putting together a training material on 851 00:35:51,380 --> 00:35:47,819 how to actually go recover eft-1 out in 852 00:35:54,650 --> 00:35:51,390 the ocean we're using navy and fibia 853 00:35:56,630 --> 00:35:54,660 sasawa they do is they can ballast down 854 00:35:58,969 --> 00:35:56,640 and lower the back end of the ship into 855 00:36:02,359 --> 00:35:58,979 the water and we can hook the capsule up 856 00:36:04,819 --> 00:36:02,369 and just tow it into that well deck and 857 00:36:07,460 --> 00:36:04,829 set it down in a cradle there's about 17 858 00:36:09,559 --> 00:36:07,470 folks when we get a dive crew available 859 00:36:12,829 --> 00:36:09,569 so what we'll do with them is we'll put 860 00:36:14,329 --> 00:36:12,839 two sets of three in small zodiacs and 861 00:36:17,509 --> 00:36:14,339 they'll do all the hands-on work on the 862 00:36:19,729 --> 00:36:17,519 vehicle the cradle that we plan on using 863 00:36:21,620 --> 00:36:19,739 for recovery it'll be finished within 864 00:36:24,259 --> 00:36:21,630 the next 30 days we're delivering it out 865 00:36:25,670 --> 00:36:24,269 to Langley and then in August put that 866 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:25,680 equipment in a well deck ship and 867 00:36:37,030 --> 00:36:34,210 I think there was always a hope that I 868 00:36:40,420 --> 00:36:37,040 would be working on a vehicle that would 869 00:36:42,850 --> 00:36:40,430 carry humans outside farther outside of 870 00:36:46,060 --> 00:36:42,860 low-earth orbit getting back into the 871 00:36:47,970 --> 00:36:46,070 roots of what NASA was built on which is 872 00:36:51,510 --> 00:36:47,980 exploration what could be more exciting 873 00:36:54,910 --> 00:36:51,520 than building the next great outreach 874 00:36:56,890 --> 00:36:54,920 for the u.s. government and for for 875 00:36:59,650 --> 00:36:56,900 mankind actually you have to let people 876 00:37:02,530 --> 00:36:59,660 know that we're still here oh yes 877 00:37:04,300 --> 00:37:02,540 shuttle did retire but we are still 878 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:04,310 making progress and we are still moving 879 00:37:11,050 --> 00:37:08,090 forward NASA's nowhere near slowing down 880 00:37:12,460 --> 00:37:11,060 we're preparing for the future it's a 881 00:37:15,610 --> 00:37:12,470 great time for us to have such a 882 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:15,620 tangible tangible artifact of the work 883 00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:17,330 and the hours we put in so yeah we're 884 00:37:38,730 --> 00:37:19,010 really looking forward to really looking 885 00:37:43,890 --> 00:37:41,600 the President's budget proposal for NASA 886 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:43,900 working to keep america the world's 887 00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:47,130 leader in innovation space exploration 888 00:37:52,890 --> 00:37:50,290 scientific discovery and inspiration for 889 00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:52,900 the benefit of humanity for generations 890 00:37:58,890 --> 00:37:55,090 to come we don't just look to the future 891 00:38:02,040 --> 00:37:58,900 we're making it happen one helping more 892 00:38:05,240 --> 00:38:02,050 US companies bring cargo and liftoff 893 00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:05,250 liftoff of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket 894 00:38:10,020 --> 00:38:07,810 launching dragon to the International 895 00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:10,030 Space Station and returning cargo 896 00:38:17,190 --> 00:38:14,410 resupply missions to US soil and by 2017 897 00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:17,200 launch astronauts from American soil to 898 00:38:21,810 --> 00:38:19,570 the international space station while 899 00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:21,820 creating new jobs here at home I'm 900 00:38:24,450 --> 00:38:23,050 excited about the opportunities that 901 00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:24,460 we're able to provide with NASA's 902 00:38:27,990 --> 00:38:26,410 Centennial Challenges program we 903 00:38:30,420 --> 00:38:28,000 advanced technologies not only for NASA 904 00:38:33,270 --> 00:38:30,430 but for the nation as a whole propel the 905 00:38:36,210 --> 00:38:33,280 Space Launch System and Orion toward the 906 00:38:40,140 --> 00:38:36,220 president's bold path to lead humans to 907 00:38:43,950 --> 00:38:40,150 an asteroid in 2025 and eventually on to 908 00:38:45,690 --> 00:38:43,960 Mars in the 2030s we're building and 909 00:38:46,859 --> 00:38:45,700 testing our first capsule right now and 910 00:38:48,660 --> 00:38:46,869 we'll get to see it launch into space 911 00:38:50,670 --> 00:38:48,670 next year for our first flight test 912 00:38:51,870 --> 00:38:50,680 we're upgrading and modifying the 913 00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:51,880 crawlers for the next generation 914 00:38:58,290 --> 00:38:53,410 spacecraft and we'll be launching soon 915 00:39:01,950 --> 00:38:58,300 now transitioning to sls it's really 916 00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:01,960 been rejuvenating to work on America's 917 00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:05,290 Next losses and aboard station helping 918 00:39:09,870 --> 00:39:07,330 us learn how to live and work in space 919 00:39:12,450 --> 00:39:09,880 as it is impossible pretty darn well 920 00:39:15,270 --> 00:39:12,460 while we prove new technologies and 921 00:39:18,690 --> 00:39:15,280 conduct science research to improve life 922 00:39:21,330 --> 00:39:18,700 here on earth our investigations into 923 00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:21,340 early onset osteoporosis and astronauts 924 00:39:27,180 --> 00:39:23,890 may enhance the detection of 925 00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:27,190 osteoporosis and patients here on earth 926 00:39:32,950 --> 00:39:30,170 the President's budget proposal funds 927 00:39:34,900 --> 00:39:32,960 innovations in space technology that 928 00:39:37,630 --> 00:39:34,910 will enable tomorrow's discoveries 929 00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:37,640 across NASA's wide spectrum of missions 930 00:39:43,330 --> 00:39:40,370 while fueling our economy for years to 931 00:39:45,940 --> 00:39:43,340 come pushing data to the user is really 932 00:39:47,910 --> 00:39:45,950 key users can always use more data 933 00:39:50,650 --> 00:39:47,920 especially the scientific community 934 00:39:53,230 --> 00:39:50,660 game-changing technologies may help 935 00:39:56,470 --> 00:39:53,240 advance our date to visit an asteroid as 936 00:39:58,660 --> 00:39:56,480 early as twenty twenty-one through an 937 00:40:01,780 --> 00:39:58,670 unprecedented feat of technology 938 00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:01,790 innovation and scientific discovery NASA 939 00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:05,330 will work to identify capture and move 940 00:40:11,740 --> 00:40:08,690 an asteroid raising the bar for human 941 00:40:16,720 --> 00:40:11,750 exploration and help inform us on how to 942 00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:16,730 better protect our home planet NASA's 943 00:40:21,070 --> 00:40:18,770 balanced portfolio of groundbreaking 944 00:40:23,710 --> 00:40:21,080 science missions will continue to 945 00:40:26,410 --> 00:40:23,720 monitor and collect critical data about 946 00:40:28,270 --> 00:40:26,420 Earth's climate and systems we do a lot 947 00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:28,280 of work on the polar region where we've 948 00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:30,290 taken scientists and instruments that 949 00:40:34,570 --> 00:40:32,330 can measure the thickness of ice not 950 00:40:36,310 --> 00:40:34,580 only can they measure how how high it is 951 00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:36,320 above the sea level but they can 952 00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:37,970 actually measure through the ice down 953 00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:39,770 till they reach water and then through 954 00:40:44,110 --> 00:40:41,450 that till they reach bedrock to 955 00:40:48,370 --> 00:40:44,120 understand our beginnings spacecraft are 956 00:40:49,900 --> 00:40:48,380 speeding to Jupiter Pluto and series I'm 957 00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:49,910 excited about my work and crowd 958 00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:51,530 propellant whose will help make it 959 00:40:56,740 --> 00:40:53,690 possible for us to someday explore the 960 00:40:59,830 --> 00:40:56,750 far reaches of our solar system peering 961 00:41:02,590 --> 00:40:59,840 into other galaxies and spotting planets 962 00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:02,600 around other stars thousands of planet 963 00:41:07,030 --> 00:41:04,130 candidates have been discovered to date 964 00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:07,040 hundreds of which are earth-sized the 965 00:41:11,140 --> 00:41:09,170 data are already hinting that planets 966 00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:11,150 are abundant in the galaxy and soon 967 00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:13,130 we'll know what percentage of stars 968 00:41:17,260 --> 00:41:15,010 Harbor planets more like our own earth 969 00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:17,270 they soon will be joined by the 970 00:41:22,540 --> 00:41:19,450 revolutionary james webb space telescope 971 00:41:25,210 --> 00:41:22,550 to delve farther back in time to the 972 00:41:26,860 --> 00:41:25,220 very origins of the universe we're here 973 00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:26,870 in NASA Goddard Space Flight centers 974 00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:27,290 clean 975 00:41:30,970 --> 00:41:29,330 we're we're testing a robotic arm that 976 00:41:33,940 --> 00:41:30,980 will help assemble the James Webb Space 977 00:41:36,580 --> 00:41:33,950 Telescope and as curiosity continues 978 00:41:38,620 --> 00:41:36,590 roving Mars on history's most daring 979 00:41:40,750 --> 00:41:38,630 mission to the red planet NASA is 980 00:41:42,610 --> 00:41:40,760 planning another robotic mission to 981 00:41:45,940 --> 00:41:42,620 Earth's nearest neighbor along with 982 00:41:47,380 --> 00:41:45,950 current mission maven and insight with a 983 00:41:49,450 --> 00:41:47,390 budget in place we're able to continue 984 00:41:51,340 --> 00:41:49,460 testing the development of exciting 985 00:41:53,590 --> 00:41:51,350 missions to Mars including the Maven 986 00:41:55,180 --> 00:41:53,600 mission maven will be able to explore 987 00:41:56,710 --> 00:41:55,190 whether or not the atmosphere of Mars 988 00:41:58,150 --> 00:41:56,720 has evolved over time and if the 989 00:42:00,760 --> 00:41:58,160 majority of it is actually been lost 990 00:42:03,100 --> 00:42:00,770 interplanetary space forever NASA's 991 00:42:05,890 --> 00:42:03,110 cutting-edge Aeronautics research will 992 00:42:09,130 --> 00:42:05,900 continue making air travel safer cleaner 993 00:42:12,130 --> 00:42:09,140 and quieter or Americans and everyone 994 00:42:14,050 --> 00:42:12,140 the world over NASA's always trying to 995 00:42:15,100 --> 00:42:14,060 push research push boundaries and one of 996 00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:15,110 the things we're trying to do is to 997 00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:17,930 bring commercial supersonic travel to 998 00:42:22,720 --> 00:42:19,610 the world we're working closely with 999 00:42:24,790 --> 00:42:22,730 other government agencies to mitigate 1000 00:42:27,610 --> 00:42:24,800 the environmental concerns of aviation 1001 00:42:30,580 --> 00:42:27,620 and this project will certainly have an 1002 00:42:32,230 --> 00:42:30,590 impact looking at five or ten years our 1003 00:42:34,150 --> 00:42:32,240 dynamic weather routes tool is an 1004 00:42:35,950 --> 00:42:34,160 example of how NASA will improve the 1005 00:42:37,930 --> 00:42:35,960 future of air transportation the 1006 00:42:39,730 --> 00:42:37,940 software will help Airlines and air 1007 00:42:41,500 --> 00:42:39,740 traffic controllers find efficient and 1008 00:42:43,900 --> 00:42:41,510 safe paths for aircraft to fly around 1009 00:42:45,550 --> 00:42:43,910 bad weather potentially saving about a 1010 00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:45,560 hundred million dollars each year and 1011 00:42:50,140 --> 00:42:48,050 operations and fuel costs and finally 1012 00:42:53,410 --> 00:42:50,150 NASA will continue to educate and 1013 00:42:56,500 --> 00:42:53,420 inspire our children to dream big work 1014 00:42:58,930 --> 00:42:56,510 and study hard and reach for the stars 1015 00:43:01,260 --> 00:42:58,940 as America's next generation of 1016 00:43:04,540 --> 00:43:01,270 scientists technologists engineers 1017 00:43:06,490 --> 00:43:04,550 mathematicians and astronauts all you 1018 00:43:08,230 --> 00:43:06,500 really need to do is you know get that 1019 00:43:10,150 --> 00:43:08,240 spark going in that little kids mind you 1020 00:43:12,220 --> 00:43:10,160 know about what he can do and and they 1021 00:43:14,410 --> 00:43:12,230 just you set them off and they go out to 1022 00:43:16,780 --> 00:43:14,420 learn I love working with young 1023 00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:16,790 scientists having their first experience 1024 00:43:20,630 --> 00:43:19,370 as researchers because I remember my 1025 00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:20,640 first experience in 1026 00:43:24,349 --> 00:43:22,170 srdjan my first time solving a problem 1027 00:43:26,779 --> 00:43:24,359 so I love giving young signed as an 1028 00:43:28,519 --> 00:43:26,789 opportunity to solve their first problem 1029 00:43:30,259 --> 00:43:28,529 and that in itself is building a 1030 00:43:33,259 --> 00:43:30,269 foundation to take us farther into the 1031 00:43:35,509 --> 00:43:33,269 future and grow our young engineers the 1032 00:43:38,059 --> 00:43:35,519 president's fiscal year 2014 budget 1033 00:43:40,329 --> 00:43:38,069 proposal ensures United States 1034 00:43:43,069 --> 00:43:40,339 leadership in space exploration and 1035 00:43:45,380 --> 00:43:43,079 scientific discovery for years to come 1036 00:43:48,170 --> 00:43:45,390 while making critical advances in 1037 00:43:50,900 --> 00:43:48,180 aerospace and Aeronautics to benefit the 1038 00:43:52,490 --> 00:43:50,910 American people all in more innovative 1039 00:43:54,620 --> 00:43:52,500 and cost-effective ways that will
