Astronauts Eric Boe and Suni Williams tried
on the new suits, which were unveiled Jan.

25.

7
00:00:21,910 --> 00:00:26,650
In addition to meeting NASA’s requirements
for safety and functionality, the new design

8
00:00:26,650 --> 00:00:31,720

and technology demonstrations following their
launch to the ISS in late spring.

15
00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:09,659
The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s
HTV-6 cargo ship left the space station on

16
00:01:09,659 --> 00:01:15,250
Jan. 27, a little more than six weeks after
delivering more than four-and-a-half tons

17
00:01:15,250 --> 00:01:21,140
of supplies, experiments and the six new lithium-ion
batteries and the adapter plates that were

18
00:01:21,140 --> 00:01:28,270
installed during two spacewalks earlier this
month to upgrade the station’s power system.

19
00:01:28,270 --> 00:01:35,729
NASA Television provided coverage of the Jan.
24 funeral service at Houston’s St. Martin’s

21
00:01:43,770 --> 00:01:49,229
The Gemini and Apollo astronaut left his mark
on the history of exploration by flying three

22
00:01:49,229 --> 00:01:55,560
times in space, twice to the moon, and is
the last human to leave his footprints on

23
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,950
the lunar surface.

24
00:01:58,950 --> 00:02:05,740

accidental fire that occurred inside an Apollo

25
00:02:05,740 --> 00:02:12,420
spacecraft on the launchpad at Cape Kennedy
– tragically claiming the lives of astronauts

26
00:02:12,420 --> 00:02:17,430
Virgil Grissom, Edward White and Roger Chaffee.

27
00:02:17,430 --> 00:02:23,800
The mission, originally designated Apollo
204, was to be the first crewed flight of

28

29
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:30,030
It later became known as Apollo 1.

30
00:02:30,030 --> 00:02:35,010
Investigation of the accident led to major
design and safety improvements of the Apollo

31
00:02:35,010 --> 00:02:40,180
spacecraft for the coming journeys to the
moon.

32
00:02:40,180 --> 00:02:42,299
