00:00:00,810 --> 00:00:05,140
“Here’s some of the stories trending This
Week at NASA!”

2
00:00:05,140 --> 00:00:11,620
On July 10, our Juno spacecraft completed
its 7th perijove – or close flyby of Jupiter.

3
00:00:11,620 --> 00:00:16,820
It flew directly over the planet’s iconic
Great Red Spot – about 5,600 miles above

4
00:00:16,820 --> 00:00:17,820
it.

5
00:00:17,820 --> 00:00:22,499
All of the spacecraft's science instruments,
and its JunoCam imager were active – providing

6
00:00:22,499 --> 00:00:28,009
the first up-close look at the ten-thousand-mile-wide
storm that has intrigued humans for hundreds

7
00:00:28,009 --> 00:00:29,009
of years.

8
00:00:29,009 --> 00:00:34,150
Juno's next close flyby of Jupiter will occur
on Sept. 1.

9
00:00:34,150 --> 00:00:39,930
A new flyover video was released to celebrate
the two-year anniversary of our New Horizons

10
00:00:39,930 --> 00:00:45,430
spacecraft’s flyby of Pluto, which happened
July 14, 2015.

11
00:00:45,430 --> 00:00:52,440
Meanwhile, on July 10 our SOFIA aircraft used
its 100-inch telescope to probe the space

12
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:59,110
around 2014 MU69 as the small Kuiper Belt
object occulted – or passed in front of

13
00:00:59,110 --> 00:01:00,360
a star.

14
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:05,309
The event provided an opportunity to look
for debris that might pose a risk when New

15
00:01:05,309 --> 00:01:10,750
Horizons flies by on Jan. 1, 2019.

16
00:01:10,750 --> 00:01:15,140
During the week of July 10, we teamed with
military personnel in the waters off the coast

17
00:01:15,140 --> 00:01:21,689
of Galveston, Texas to evaluate various techniques
astronauts will use to safely exit our Orion

18
00:01:21,689 --> 00:01:26,770
spacecraft after it returns from deep space
missions and splashes down in the Pacific

19
00:01:26,770 --> 00:01:27,770
Ocean.

20
00:01:27,770 --> 00:01:33,509
Ideally, small boats of Navy personnel will
be able to quickly assist the crew -- returning

21
00:01:33,509 --> 00:01:36,560
it and Orion to an awaiting naval ship.

22
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:44,090
Orion is designed to sustain a crew that has
splashed down in the ocean for up to 24 hours.

23
00:01:44,090 --> 00:01:49,689
Our Langley Research Center hosted a centennial
symposium July 12-14 at the Hampton Roads

24
00:01:49,689 --> 00:01:51,780
Virginia Convention Center.

25
00:01:51,780 --> 00:01:57,249
The event marked the 100th anniversary of
the center and featured NASA aerospace experts,

26
00:01:57,249 --> 00:02:02,409
those from industry, government, other space
agencies, as well as officials from academia.

27
00:02:02,409 --> 00:02:06,119
And that’s what’s up this week @NASA …
