13
00:03:51,110 --> 00:03:54,730
WOW IS ALL I CAN SAY.

14
00:03:54,730 --> 00:03:57,280
>> YOU CAN FEEL IT IN HERE.

15
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,830
THERE'S AN ELECTRIC ATMOSPHERE
THIS MORNING WITH A LOT GOING

16
00:04:00,830 --> 00:04:01,830
ON.

17
00:04:01,830 --> 00:04:04,680
OUTSIDE OUR DOORS IT'S MISSION
TEAM MEMBERS FRIENDS FAMILY AND

18
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,300
OTHERS GETTING READY FOR THIS
INCREDIBLE ACHIEVEMENT.

19
00:04:07,300 --> 00:04:11,320
THERE'S MEMBERS OF THE SCIENCE
TEAM GETTING READY FOR SOME OF

20
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:20,419
THE BEST VIEWS WE HAVE EVER SEEN
THE SPACECRAFT IS ON ITS OWN.

21
00:04:20,419 --> 00:04:24,810
THEY WERE PROGRAMMED INTO
COMPUTERS LAST WEEK AND, IN

22
00:04:24,810 --> 00:04:27,330
FACT, LET'S CHECK IN ON NEW
HORIZONS.

23
00:04:27,330 --> 00:04:30,720
THIS IS THE EYES ON THE SOLAR
SYSTEM OF NEW HORIZONS.

24
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:38,060
IT'S BASED ON ACTUAL COMMAND.

25
00:04:38,060 --> 00:04:45,910
NOW SPEAKING OF EXCITEMENT
DEWAYNE IS GOING TO HEAD OUT TO

26
00:04:45,910 --> 00:04:50,080
FLY BY COUNTDOWN CENTER AND
HERE'S A MESSAGE FOR SOMEONE

27
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:54,369
THAT ISN'T AS FAR AS PLUTO BUT
DEFINITELY OUT OF THIS WORLD.

28
00:04:54,369 --> 00:05:02,110
>> HI, I'M ASTRONAUT SCOTT
KELLY.

29
00:05:02,110 --> 00:05:05,870
NASA IS ALL ABOUT EXPLORATION
AND DISCOVERY.

30
00:05:05,870 --> 00:05:10,660
WHETHER IT'S HERE, CLOSE TO
EARTH, OR NOW BILLIONS OF MILES

31
00:05:10,660 --> 00:05:17,060
AWAY AT PLUTO AND THE FAR EDGE
OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM.

32
00:05:17,060 --> 00:05:20,039
UNTIL NOW PLUTO IS A MYSTERY.

33
00:05:20,039 --> 00:05:24,860
THE LAST UNEXPLORED MAJOR BODY
IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM BUT THAT'S

34
00:05:24,860 --> 00:05:26,490
ALL ABOUT TO CHANGE.

35
00:05:26,490 --> 00:05:31,800
THE SPACECRAFT IS MAKING HISTORY
AFTER A NINE YEAR JOURNEY AS IT

36
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,760
ENCOUNTERS PLUTO AND IT'S SYSTEM
OF MOONS.

37
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:40,599
I'M EXCITED TO SEE THE CLOSE UP
IMAGES OF THIS PLANET AND TO SEE

38
00:05:40,599 --> 00:05:47,700
NASA COMPLETE THE DISTANT
REACHES OF OUR SOLAR SYSTEM.

39
00:05:47,700 --> 00:05:50,610
FROM THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE
STATION I'M SENDING MY HEART

40
00:05:50,610 --> 00:05:54,950
FELT BEST WISHES AND
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NEW

41
00:05:54,950 --> 00:05:56,550
HORIZONS TEAM.

42
00:05:56,550 --> 00:06:01,800
JUST LIKE ME ALL OF US AT NASA
CAN PROUDLY SAY MY OTHER VEHICLE

43
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:11,129
IS ON ITS WAY TO PLUTO.

44
00:06:11,129 --> 00:06:12,870
>> DEWAYNE BROWN IS OUTSIDE.

45
00:06:12,870 --> 00:06:15,960
LET'S CHECK DOWN WITH HIM IN
COUNTDOWN CENTRAL.

46
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:17,900
LOTS OF EYES ON THE CLOCK OUT
THERE?

47
00:06:17,900 --> 00:06:19,820
>> EVEN MORE.

48
00:06:19,820 --> 00:06:30,379
SO TAKING A LITTLE BREAK AND
HOPEFULLY THEY'LL ALL BE HERE.

49
00:06:30,379 --> 00:06:31,379
>> CAN YOU HEAR ME?

50
00:06:31,379 --> 00:06:33,270
>> I GOT YOU.

51
00:06:33,270 --> 00:06:37,750
>> I APOLOGIZE FOR BEING LATE
BUT THE CROWD IS SO THICK IN

52
00:06:37,750 --> 00:06:39,039
HERE IT'S UNBELIEVABLE.

53
00:06:39,039 --> 00:06:42,860
IF I CLOSE MY EYES I WOULD THINK
I WAS IN NEW YORK AT TIMES

54
00:06:42,860 --> 00:06:43,860
SQUARE.

55
00:06:43,860 --> 00:06:49,669
COUNTDOWN AND WHAT YOU'RE
HEARING NOW IS A SPEECH BY THE

56
00:06:49,669 --> 00:06:53,659
MISSION'S TEAM PROJECT MANAGER.

57
00:06:53,659 --> 00:06:56,870
HE'S TALKING TO THE CROWD.

58
00:06:56,870 --> 00:06:58,539
THE EXPERIENCE.

59
00:06:58,539 --> 00:07:05,090
AND EVERYTHING EVERYONE IS 
SO

60
00:07:05,090 --> 00:07:06,859
EXCITED.

61
00:07:06,859 --> 00:07:12,550
>> I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR 30
YEARS.

62
00:07:12,550 --> 00:07:14,650
IT'S ABSOLUTELY AMAZING HERE.

63
00:07:14,650 --> 00:07:19,650
WE'LL TRY TO GET INTERVIEWS HERE
AND THEN I'LL TOSS IT BACK TO

64
00:07:19,650 --> 00:07:21,729
YOU AND SEE IF WE CAN GET SOME
SPECIAL GUESTS.

65
00:07:21,729 --> 00:07:22,729
>> OKAY.

66
00:07:22,729 --> 00:07:25,669
WHILE WE'RE DOING THAT, LET'S
CHECK BACK IN ON THE EYES ON

67
00:07:25,669 --> 00:07:26,669
PLUTO SIMULATION.

68
00:07:26,669 --> 00:07:31,690
YOU CAN CHECK OUT THE ACTIVITY
ONLINE AT EYES.NASA.GOV TO POINT

69
00:07:31,690 --> 00:07:32,690
OUT WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT HERE.

70
00:07:32,690 --> 00:07:36,280
THIS IS WHAT THE SPACECRAFT IS
DOING HERE.

71
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,570
YOU CAN SEE THE INSTRUMENTS
GOING THROUGH THEIR OBSERVATIONS

72
00:07:39,570 --> 00:07:44,010
COLOR CODED TAKING THE SCAN OF
PLUTO.

73
00:07:44,010 --> 00:07:46,419
IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING OVER
THE HEART RIGHT THIS SECOND.

74
00:07:46,419 --> 00:07:48,570
>> AMAZING OBSERVATION.

75
00:07:48,570 --> 00:07:57,770
SO WE'LL SEE IF HE'S GOT HIS
INTERVIEWS.

76
00:07:57,770 --> 00:08:03,430
WITH US IS ALICE BOWMAN THE
MISSION OPERATIONS MANAGER AND

77
00:08:03,430 --> 00:08:05,700
MY FIRST QUESTION FOR YOU IS
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

78
00:08:05,700 --> 00:08:08,839
SHOULDN'T SOMEBODY BE FLYING THE
SPACECRAFT BUT NEW HORIZONS IS

79
00:08:08,839 --> 00:08:10,190
ON ITS OWN.

80
00:08:10,190 --> 00:08:22,960
PROGRAMMED TO BE DOING ALL OF
THESE MANEUVERS NEAR PLUTO.

81
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,409
>> IT'S JUST TICKING DOWN IT'S
CHECKLIST.

82
00:08:25,409 --> 00:08:29,020
THOSE COMMANDS ARE FIRING OFF AT
THE TIME SCIENTISTS WANT THEM TO

83
00:08:29,020 --> 00:08:30,650
FIRE OFF.

84
00:08:30,650 --> 00:08:34,320
THIS IS WHEN YOU GET THE BEST
SCIENCE.

85
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,620
SO WE DON'T WANT IT TO TALK TO
US.

86
00:08:37,620 --> 00:08:39,240
WE WANT IT TO TAKE SCIENCE.

87
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:40,620
THAT'S WHAT IT'S DOING.

88
00:08:40,620 --> 00:08:45,020
MANY OF THE TEAM MEMBERS ARE
HERE.

89
00:08:45,020 --> 00:08:46,880
>> WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME WE
HEARD FROM IT?

90
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,680
>> WE HEARD FROM IT LAST NIGHT.

91
00:08:49,680 --> 00:08:54,380
WE STARTED THE TRACK ABOUT
10:08:00†P.M.

92
00:08:54,380 --> 00:09:02,680
EASTERN AND WE HAD
SIGNAL UNTIL 11:17†P.M.

93
00:09:02,680 --> 00:09:06,879
>> IT CAN'T TAKE DATA AND TALK
TO US AT THE SAME TIME.

94
00:09:06,879 --> 00:09:11,800
>> WE BUILT THEM FOR LONG
DURATION AND YOU WANT TO HAVE AS

95
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,330
FEW MOVING PARTS AS POSSIBLE.

96
00:09:14,330 --> 00:09:22,290
WE HAD THAT FIXED ANTENNA TO YOU
HAVE TO POINT THAT ANTENNA BACK

97
00:09:22,290 --> 00:09:25,350
TO EARTH SO IT CAN BEAM THAT
SIGNAL.

98
00:09:25,350 --> 00:09:28,160
LIKEWISE WHEN YOU TAKE SCIENCE
OBSERVATIONS YOU HAVE TO TAKE

99
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,769
THAT SPACE TEST AND POINT THOSE
INSTRUMENTS TO WHERE THOSE

100
00:09:31,769 --> 00:09:34,860
OBJECTS ARE THAT THEY WANT TO
OBSERVE.

101
00:09:34,860 --> 00:09:38,589
>> LIKE YOU MENTIONED BEFORE,
YOU KNOW, LESS TIME ON PLUTO,

102
00:09:38,589 --> 00:09:41,370
MORE TIME TALKING TO EARTH IS
LESS TIME ON PLUTO AND THE

103
00:09:41,370 --> 00:09:44,860
BUSIEST TIME RIGHT NOW FOR THIS
ENCOUNTER HAPPENING, YOU

104
00:09:44,860 --> 00:09:46,250
DEFINITELY DON'T WANT TO BE
LOOKING AT EARTH.

105
00:09:46,250 --> 00:09:49,560
>> NO, DEFINITELY NOT.

106
00:09:49,560 --> 00:09:51,339
>> LET'S TAKE IT THROUGH THE
TIME LINE THEN OF WHAT HAPPENS

107
00:09:51,339 --> 00:09:52,580
TODAY AND THROUGH TONIGHT.

108
00:09:52,580 --> 00:09:54,930
WE'VE SEEN THE OBSERVATIONS
HAPPENING ON BOARD.

109
00:09:54,930 --> 00:09:58,079
WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF THE DAY?

110
00:09:58,079 --> 00:10:04,430
>> I'LL STEP BACK AND SAY WE HAD
A LOT OF ACTIVITY LAST NIGHT.

111
00:10:04,430 --> 00:10:09,360
WE DIDN'T HAVE SIGNAL FROM THE
SPACECRAFT BUT HE WERE ACTUALLY

112
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,709
UP LINKING SIGNALS TO THE
INSTRUMENT ON BOARD AND OF

113
00:10:12,709 --> 00:10:17,860
COURSE WE HAVE TO START THOSE UP
LINKS ABOUT 4.5 HOURS BEFORE

114
00:10:17,860 --> 00:10:20,860
THAT EXPERIMENT IS TAKING PLACE
ON THE SPACECRAFT.

115
00:10:20,860 --> 00:10:27,560
WE HAD 7 OF THE DEEP SPACE
NETWORK ANTENNAS TRAINED ON NEW

116
00:10:27,560 --> 00:10:30,550
HORIZONS AND SENDING AN UP LINK
SIGNAL.

117
00:10:30,550 --> 00:10:33,240
WE STARTED THAT ABOUT 3:00†A.M.

118
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:39,720
THIS MORNING AND WE CONTINUED
THAT AND WE'LL TAKE A BREAK AND

119
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:44,060
IN A COUPLE OF HOURS DO THAT
AGAIN.

120
00:10:44,060 --> 00:10:51,800
YOU'LL SEE A START TO CONGREGATE
THERE A LITTLE BIT BEFORE

121
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,410
PERHAPS 7:00†P.M.

122
00:10:54,410 --> 00:10:58,720
AND WE WILL
HOPEFULLY I'M SURE GET SIGNAL AT

123
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,529
8:53†P.M.

124
00:11:00,529 --> 00:11:02,350
LOCAL.

125
00:11:02,350 --> 00:11:15,550
WE'LL HAVE A VERY SHORT WINDOW
AND THAT'S OUR PLAN FOR TODAY.

126
00:11:15,550 --> 00:11:20,589
>> A LITTLE BIT OF REST IN
BETWEEN I WOULD THINK.

127
00:11:20,589 --> 00:11:21,689
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

128
00:11:21,689 --> 00:11:23,370
GOOD LUCK TONIGHT.

129
00:11:23,370 --> 00:11:27,980
>> I HAVE TO SAY TOO, THE SOCIAL
MEDIA BUILD UP ON THIS HAS JUST

130
00:11:27,980 --> 00:11:33,540
BEEN INCREDIBLE AND, I MEAN, GO
TO NASA SOCIAL†-- JASON, I'M

00:22:40,779 --> 00:22:43,039
LOTS OF MOVING PIECES.

310
00:22:43,039 --> 00:22:45,570
WHAT'S THE SECRET TO SUCCESS
LIKE THIS?

311
00:22:45,570 --> 00:22:48,230
>> PEOPLE OFTEN THINK THAT THE
SUCCESS TO MISSIONS LIKE THIS

312
00:22:48,230 --> 00:22:52,240
IS, YOU KNOW, THE ENGINEERS, THE
HARDWARE, THE MISSION ITSELF BUT

313
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,760
THE REAL KEY IS THE TEAM WORK.

314
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,769
THAT'S WHAT NASA EXCELS AT.

315
00:22:58,769 --> 00:23:06,929
BRINGING ENGINEERS TOGETHER TO
DO THESE INCREDIBLE FEETS LIKE

316
00:23:06,929 --> 00:23:10,159
WE HAVE JUST DONE WITH NEW
HORIZON.

317
00:23:10,159 --> 00:23:13,740

CELEBRATING THE MOMENT BY WHICH

322
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:26,241
THE NEW HORIZONS SPACECRAFT HAD
IT'S CLOSEST APPROACH TO PLUTO

323
00:23:26,241 --> 00:23:29,740
AS IT'S TAKING ALL THE
INCREDIBLE DATA BUT WE'RE NOT

324
00:23:29,740 --> 00:23:30,799
TALKING TO THE SPACECRAFT.

325
00:23:30,799 --> 00:23:32,640
IT'S DOING IT'S JOB.

326
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:36,769
TONIGHT WE'RE GOING TO GET THE
SIGNAL, THE PING THAT IT MADE IT

327
