00:00:13,490 --> 00:00:11,720
this week at NASA during an Earth Day

2
00:00:16,129 --> 00:00:13,500
visit to Goddard Space Flight Center

3
00:00:17,990 --> 00:00:16,139
NASA deputy administrator lori garver

4
00:00:20,750 --> 00:00:18,000
received a tour of the Landsat data

5
00:00:22,340 --> 00:00:20,760
continuity mission control room and was

6
00:00:24,890 --> 00:00:22,350
briefed on Goddard earth science

7
00:00:27,019 --> 00:00:24,900
programs Garber also took some time to

8
00:00:29,630 --> 00:00:27,029
discuss the earth science priorities of

9
00:00:32,569 --> 00:00:29,640
the president's fiscal year 2014 budget

10
00:00:37,750 --> 00:00:32,579
proposal for NASA for new earth science

11
00:00:41,090 --> 00:00:37,760
missions in 2014 alone including 17

12
00:00:44,959 --> 00:00:41,100
operational earth scientist missions so

13
00:00:47,209 --> 00:00:44,969
this is very robust operation focus area

14
00:00:49,190 --> 00:00:47,219
NASA also celebrated Earth Day with a

15
00:00:52,130 --> 00:00:49,200
range of activities for travelers and

16
00:00:54,049 --> 00:00:52,140
visitors at dc's Union Station to help

17
00:00:56,299 --> 00:00:54,059
them better understand the agency's

18
00:01:00,889 --> 00:00:56,309
mission to sustain the planet's systems

19
00:01:03,770 --> 00:01:00,899
and climate NASA Administrator Charlie

20
00:01:05,170 --> 00:01:03,780
Bolden and Leland Melvin the agency's

21
00:01:08,060 --> 00:01:05,180
associate administrator for education

22
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:08,070
were among those in attendance at this

23
00:01:12,500 --> 00:01:10,890
year's White House Science Fair part of

24
00:01:15,410 --> 00:01:12,510
the president's educate to innovate

25
00:01:17,630 --> 00:01:15,420
campaign the event aims to motivate

26
00:01:20,690 --> 00:01:17,640
students to excel in science technology

27
00:01:24,620 --> 00:01:20,700
engineering and math I just had a chance

28
00:01:28,249 --> 00:01:24,630
to see some of the outstanding exhibits

29
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:28,259
that have been put forward by some of

30
00:01:32,270 --> 00:01:30,210
these amazing young people and let me

31
00:01:35,719 --> 00:01:32,280
just start by saying in my official

32
00:01:38,060 --> 00:01:35,729
capacity as president this stuff's

33
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:38,070
really cool NASA supports this in other

34
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:39,570
events that encourage student

35
00:01:43,609 --> 00:01:41,850
development of STEM related skills and

36
00:01:45,649 --> 00:01:43,619
the pursuit of careers that could

37
00:01:50,660 --> 00:01:45,659
benefit the agency the nation and

38
00:01:53,569 --> 00:01:50,670
humankind the near-earth object camera

39
00:01:55,819 --> 00:01:53,579
or neo cam an infrared sensor that could

40
00:01:58,580 --> 00:01:55,829
improve NASA's ability to detect and

41
00:02:00,620 --> 00:01:58,590
track asteroids and comets has passed a

42
00:02:02,870 --> 00:02:00,630
critical design test in an environment

43
00:02:05,630 --> 00:02:02,880
mimicking the temperatures and pressures

44
00:02:07,670 --> 00:02:05,640
of deep space the postage stamp-sized

45
00:02:09,979 --> 00:02:07,680
device has greater resolution and

46
00:02:12,290 --> 00:02:09,989
sensitivity than previous generations of

47
00:02:13,830 --> 00:02:12,300
infrared sensors and could be vital to

48
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:13,840
NASA's recently announced

49
00:02:19,110 --> 00:02:16,330

composite flaps that should reduce drag

109
00:04:58,450 --> 00:04:56,540
and eliminate a major source of aircraft

110
00:05:01,300 --> 00:04:58,460
noise during takeoff and landing

111
00:05:04,420 --> 00:05:01,310
supporting NASA's goal of simultaneously

112
00:05:09,190 --> 00:05:04,430
reducing noise emissions and fuel use by

113

129
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:51,770
from the telescope is providing clues

130
00:05:56,770 --> 00:05:53,810
about the evolution of galaxies and the

131
00:05:58,840 --> 00:05:56,780
causes of star formation bringing us

132
00:06:01,320 --> 00:05:58,850
closer to understanding how galaxies

133
00:06:04,719 --> 00:06:01,330
like our own Milky Way were formed and

134
00:06:06,670 --> 00:06:04,729
that's this week @nasa for more on these

135
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:06,680
and other stories or to follow us on
