farther into space 195 00:10:10,230 --> 00:10:07,210 than ever before quote we must remember 196 00:10:12,900 --> 00:10:10,240 that America has always been a frontier 197 00:10:16,770 --> 00:10:12,910 nation and then he asked Congress to 198 00:10:18,390 --> 00:10:16,780 quote fully fund the Artemis program to 199 00:10:19,860 --> 00:10:18,400 ensure that the next man and the first 200 00:10:23,550 --> 00:10:19,870 woman on the moon will be American 201 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:23,560 astronauts and he said in fact it said 202 00:10:28,710 --> 00:10:25,930 quote used this as a launching pad to 203 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:28,720 ensure that America is the first nation 204 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:32,290 to plant its flag on Mars 205 00:10:41,269 --> 00:10:38,569 [Applause] 206 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:41,279 if the president's support for NASA 207 00:10:47,179 --> 00:10:42,930 wasn't clear before it should be obvious 208 00:10:49,879 --> 00:10:47,189 now the administration and a bipartisan 209 00:10:52,879 --> 00:10:49,889 coalition in the Congress are committed 210 00:10:55,879 --> 00:10:52,889 to utilizing the great talents of this 211 00:10:57,470 --> 00:10:55,889 agency we call NASA their support for 212 00:11:00,559 --> 00:10:57,480 what we are doing is not empty rhetoric 213 00:11:03,850 --> 00:11:00,569 they are backing up our vision of a 214 00:11:06,139 --> 00:11:03,860 renewed era of discovery by giving NASA 215 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:06,149 ever-increasing budgets every year and 216 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:10,170 now we must deliver it is up to us to 217 00:11:15,799 --> 00:11:13,410 deliver it was only ten months ago that 218 00:11:18,079 --> 00:11:15,809 Vice President Mike Pence announced the 219 00:11:20,540 --> 00:11:18,089 president's policy to accelerate the 220 00:11:22,069 --> 00:11:20,550 Artemis programs timeline and land the 221 00:11:26,150 --> 00:11:22,079 first woman in the next man on the moon 222 00:11:28,970 --> 00:11:26,160 by 2024 he instructed all of us to adopt 223 00:11:33,019 --> 00:11:28,980 a spirit of relentless determination and 224 00:11:36,079 --> 00:11:33,029 a renewed sense of focus no one embodies 225 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:36,089 this more than astronaut Cristina Cooke 226 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:38,730 who just last week finished her nearly 227 00:11:42,919 --> 00:11:40,170 year-long mission aboard the 228 00:11:46,249 --> 00:11:42,929 International Space Station during her 229 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:46,259 rookie mission she broke records for the 230 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:47,850 longest single space flight by a woman 231 00:11:55,220 --> 00:11:51,689 and ventured outside the station on six 232 00:11:58,280 --> 00:11:55,230 different spacewalks including not just 233 00:12:00,919 --> 00:11:58,290 the first one but the first three all 234 00:12:02,070 --> 00:12:00,929 woman extra vehicular activities in 235 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:02,080 history 236 00:12:12,060 --> 00:12:08,970 [Applause] 237 00:12:15,390 --> 00:12:12,070 like Cristina the Artemis programs 238 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:15,400 bolded bold vision must be matched by 239 00:12:20,910 --> 00:12:18,010 our unflinching devotion to what is 240 00:12:23,030 --> 00:12:20,920 necessary to advance the nation farther 241 00:12:25,710 --> 00:12:23,040 and faster than ever before 242 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:25,720 nowhere has this been more apparent than 243 00:12:30,350 --> 00:12:27,850 the progress made on the Space Launch 244 00:12:35,460 --> 00:12:30,360 System rocket and the Orion crew capsule 245 00:12:39,420 --> 00:12:35,470 the 2021 budget and Marshall and me Shu 246 00:12:40,829 --> 00:12:39,430 and Kennedy and Johnson they should all 247 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:40,839 be happy everybody at NASA should be 248 00:12:45,690 --> 00:12:42,010 happy this is important 249 00:12:47,010 --> 00:12:45,700 the 2021 budget fully funds SLS and 250 00:13:00,710 --> 00:12:47,020 Orion 251 00:13:04,220 --> 00:13:00,720 we've built for deep-space missions in 252 00:13:06,410 --> 00:13:04,230 over a generation last year engineers 253 00:13:08,690 --> 00:13:06,420 engineers fully assembled the Orion 254 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:08,700 spacecraft in preparation for the 255 00:13:13,850 --> 00:13:11,130 Artemis one mission and are now halfway 256 00:13:17,330 --> 00:13:13,860 through the final testing at crumble 257 00:13:20,030 --> 00:13:17,340 explained Brook station in Ohio after 258 00:13:21,650 --> 00:13:20,040 final testing is complete the Orion will 259 00:13:25,130 --> 00:13:21,660 be returned to the Kennedy Space Center 260 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:25,140 and be be stacked atop the Space Launch 261 00:13:32,270 --> 00:13:27,930 System in preparation for the Artemis 262 00:13:34,610 --> 00:13:32,280 one mission let's talk about SLS the 263 00:13:37,220 --> 00:13:34,620 Space Launch System rocket is the 264 00:13:39,140 --> 00:13:37,230 foundation of our 21st century space 265 00:13:42,380 --> 00:13:39,150 exploration missions to the moon and to 266 00:13:44,180 --> 00:13:42,390 Mars it's unprecedented power and 267 00:13:47,510 --> 00:13:44,190 capabilities will send American 268 00:13:50,090 --> 00:13:47,520 astronauts farther than ever before just 269 00:13:51,650 --> 00:13:50,100 a few months ago engineers completed 270 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:51,660 assembling the core stage and 271 00:13:57,260 --> 00:13:55,170 integrating the four rs.25 engines in 272 00:14:00,080 --> 00:13:57,270 fact the rs.25 engines behind me and 273 00:14:02,810 --> 00:14:00,090 right here at Stennis Space Center we 274 00:14:05,690 --> 00:14:02,820 will conduct the green run test for the 275 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:05,700 SLS that's for you congressman Plaza 276 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:13,490 [Applause] 277 00:14:17,570 --> 00:14:15,930 congressman Palazzo stuck around just 278 00:14:18,860 --> 00:14:17,580 he's got to get to the airport to help 279 00:14:20,450 --> 00:14:18,870 us with our funding but he stuck around 280 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:20,460 just to hear me say that line just so 281 00:14:24,590 --> 00:14:23,490 everybody's

twelve foot tall course stage 285 00:14:32,420 --> 00:14:30,690 it's the largest rocket ever built by 286 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:32,430 the agency and a monumental engineering 287 00:14:37,370 --> 00:14:35,490 feat in its own right it is a testament 288 00:14:40,579 --> 00:14:37,380 to American enterprise and ingenuity 289 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:40,589 with more than a thousand large and 290 00:14:45,650 --> 00:14:43,250 small businesses in 44 states 291 00:14:48,430 --> 00:14:45,660 contributing to the design and the 292 00:14:52,330 --> 00:14:48,440 assembly the SLS rocket is in fact 293 00:14:59,360 --> 00:14:56,389 [Applause] 294 00:15:05,299 --> 00:14:59,370 let's go out to the b2 test stand here 295 00:15:08,210 --> 00:15:05,309 it's Dennis thanks sir I'm astronaut 296 00:15:09,739 --> 00:15:08,220 Roger Chari hi I'm dawn Davis and like 297 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:09,749 you said we're standing here at Stennis 298 00:15:13,639 --> 00:15:11,850 Space Center in front of the b2 stand 299 00:15:15,019 --> 00:15:13,649 and just like there's a lot of history 300 00:15:17,030 --> 00:15:15,029 and heritage there at Aerojet Rocketdyne 301 00:15:18,679 --> 00:15:17,040 where you guys are at there's a whole 302 00:15:20,900 --> 00:15:18,689 bunch of history and heritage here at 303 00:15:22,850 --> 00:15:20,910 Stennis but specifically this b2 test 304 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:22,860 stand right now we have loaded up the 305 00:15:27,230 --> 00:15:25,050 SLS core stage which is going to launch 306 00:15:28,999 --> 00:15:27,240 the Artemis one mission on the unmanned 307 00:15:30,439 --> 00:15:29,009 test but before that they're going to do 308 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:30,449 a green run was like you mentioned 309 00:15:35,090 --> 00:15:32,850 safety and reliability is key as we take 310 00:15:37,249 --> 00:15:35,100 on the challenges that await us as we go 311 00:15:39,499 --> 00:15:37,259 back to the moon and beyond and the SLS 312 00:15:41,059 --> 00:15:39,509 is key because unlike the saturn v in 313 00:15:42,259 --> 00:15:41,069 apollo we're going back to the moon to 314 00:15:44,150 --> 00:15:42,269 stay this time and to build a 315 00:15:46,730 --> 00:15:44,160 sustainable presence at the moon and 316 00:15:48,259 --> 00:15:46,740 mars eventually not only are we going 317 00:15:49,790 --> 00:15:48,269 back to the moon though but this year is 318 00:15:51,499 --> 00:15:49,800 super exciting in the astronaut office 319 00:15:52,460 --> 00:15:51,509 because there's three new vehicles and 320 00:15:54,199 --> 00:15:52,470 development all at the same time 321 00:15:56,869 --> 00:15:54,209 something that's never happened in the 322 00:15:58,579 --> 00:15:56,879 agency so besides SLS we're also working 323 00:16:00,650 --> 00:15:58,589 with our commercial partners at SpaceX 324 00:16:02,210 --> 00:16:00,660 and Boeing to launch Americans from US 325 00:16:04,549 --> 00:16:02,220 soil back to the space station this year 326 00:16:06,679 --> 00:16:04,559 and as you mentioned Christina cook just 327 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:06,689 coming back a great testament to 328 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:08,850 overcoming the challenges of space just 329 00:16:12,199 --> 00:16:10,410 like the engineers and scientists here 330 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:12,209 at NASA being overcoming the challenges 331 00:16:16,369 --> 00:16:14,370 that await us as we move forward so it's 332 00:16:17,809 --> 00:16:16,379 great exciting to see the budget rollout 333 00:16:20,239 --> 00:16:17,819 and to know we have the support of the 334 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:20,249 country and bipartisan support as we 335 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:22,410 endeavor to take on these challenges but 336 00:16:26,030 --> 00:16:23,730 in the near term we're gonna have to 337 00:16:27,799 --> 00:16:26,040 launch this rocket and to do that we 338 00:16:29,749 --> 00:16:27,809 have a green run test coming up so here 339 00:16:31,759 --> 00:16:29,759 to talk about that as dawn Davis so 340 00:16:33,139 --> 00:16:31,769 right Roger exciting times for NASA but 341 00:16:35,809 --> 00:16:33,149 especially here at Stennis Space Center 342 00:16:37,939 --> 00:16:35,819 at the SLS core stage research right now 343 00:16:40,249 --> 00:16:37,949 on our historic beetle test and in 344 00:16:41,929 --> 00:16:40,259 preparation for green run testing so the 345 00:16:44,239 --> 00:16:41,939 green run testing provides us the first 346 00:16:46,069 --> 00:16:44,249 opportunity to do integrated testing of 347 00:16:48,230 --> 00:16:46,079 the core stage components starting with 348 00:16:50,030 --> 00:16:48,240 individual testing and actually 349 00:16:52,369 --> 00:16:50,040 culminating with the firing of all four 350 00:16:54,169 --> 00:16:52,379 rs.25 engines generating over two 351 00:16:55,850 --> 00:16:54,179 million pounds of thrust just like you 352 00:16:57,739 --> 00:16:55,860 would have don't launch so exciting 353 00:16:59,660 --> 00:16:57,749 times again as we prepare for our boys 354 00:17:01,999 --> 00:16:59,670 back to the moon I can tell you in the 355 00:17:03,439 --> 00:17:02,009 astronaut office there's quite a bit of 356 00:17:05,059 --> 00:17:03,449 competition going on to see who's gonna 357 00:17:06,829 --> 00:17:05,069 get to be able to sit in the front row 358 00:17:09,360 --> 00:17:06,839 of this test a few

of the people in 493 00:23:19,610 --> 00:23:16,770 the audience 1819 494 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:19,620 even 20 years old were they've never 495 00:23:23,450 --> 00:23:21,690 lived a day of their lives when there 496 00:23:26,030 --> 00:23:23,460 weren't people living and working in 497 00:23:27,410 --> 00:23:26,040 space that is a monumental achievement 498 00:23:29,870 --> 00:23:27,420 not just for the United States of 499 00:23:31,670 --> 00:23:29,880 America but for the entire coalition of 500 00:23:34,130 --> 00:23:31,680 nations that we lead on the 501 00:23:36,500 --> 00:23:34,140 International Space Station as we plan 502 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:36,510 to go forward to the moon sustainably we 503 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:38,970 want to bring the American aerospace 504 00:23:43,669 --> 00:23:41,490 industry with us through a program that 505 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:43,679 we call the commercial lunar payload 506 00:23:50,419 --> 00:23:48,210 services initiative clipz clipz is fully 507 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:50,429 supported by the 2021 budget and will 508 00:23:56,090 --> 00:23:52,770 utilize the capabilities of American 509 00:23:58,450 --> 00:23:56,100 industry to deliver 16 NASA Science and 510 00:24:01,880 --> 00:23:58,460 Technology payloads to the lunar surface 511 00:24:04,610 --> 00:24:01,890 starting next year that means next year 512 00:24:06,790 --> 00:24:04,620 we are putting payloads on the surface 513 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:06,800 of the moon for the first time since 514 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:08,410 1972 515 00:24:16,870 --> 00:24:14,810 [Applause] 516 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:16,880 let's go out to the Goddard Space Flight 517 00:24:22,900 --> 00:24:18,890 Center and get an update on some of 518 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:22,910 these clips missions hi I'm Noah Petro 519 00:24:26,470 --> 00:24:24,650 at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in 520 00:24:27,430 --> 00:24:26,480 Greenbelt Maryland on the project 521 00:24:29,890 --> 00:24:27,440 scientists on the Lunar Reconnaissance 522 00:24:31,420 --> 00:24:29,900 Orbiter an incredible spacecraft that 523 00:24:33,970 --> 00:24:31,430 we've had orbiting the moon now for over 524 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:33,980 ten years creating the most amazing data 525 00:24:38,410 --> 00:24:35,570 set for our nearest neighbor in space 526 00:24:40,030 --> 00:24:38,420 the moon now as part of the Artemis 527 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:40,040 program NASA is working with multiple 528 00:24:44,020 --> 00:24:41,810 American companies to deliver new 529 00:24:45,910 --> 00:24:44,030 science to the lunar surface we call it 530 00:24:47,890 --> 00:24:45,920 the commercial lunar payload services or 531 00:24:49,900 --> 00:24:47,900 clips we've identified more than two 532 00:24:52,420 --> 00:24:49,910 dozen experiments to send to the surface 533 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:52,430 with these small Landers first 16 534 00:24:55,990 --> 00:24:54,170 experiments are set to launch next year 535 00:24:58,060 --> 00:24:56,000 and 5 of the experiments are being built 536 00:24:59,620 --> 00:24:58,070 right here at Goddard with those 537 00:25:01,090 --> 00:24:59,630 experiments we'll be able to learn about 538 00:25:03,220 --> 00:25:01,100 the composition of the surface of the 539 00:25:05,230 --> 00:25:03,230 Moon the dynamics of the interaction of 540 00:25:07,150 --> 00:25:05,240 the moon with the Sun and the presence 541 00:25:10,030 --> 00:25:07,160 and distribution of volatile zhh on the 542 00:25:12,130 --> 00:25:10,040 lunar surface now right here I have a 543 00:25:14,260 --> 00:25:12,140 very small experiment it's called the 544 00:25:16,870 --> 00:25:14,270 lunar retroreflector array it's a small 545 00:25:19,090 --> 00:25:16,880 set of eight mirrors this experiment 546 00:25:21,070 --> 00:25:19,100 will be mounted to the top of a lander 547 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:21,080 and so when it's sitting on the surface 548 00:25:23,890 --> 00:25:22,250 we'll be able to shoot laser beams 549 00:25:25,990 --> 00:25:23,900 whether we're shooting laser beams from 550 00:25:29,050 --> 00:25:26,000 a spacecraft orbiting overhead or a 551 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:29,060 rover this laser beams and the 552 00:25:32,260 --> 00:25:30,530 interaction with this these sets of 553 00:25:34,030 --> 00:25:32,270 mirrors will tell us exactly where the 554 00:25:36,250 --> 00:25:34,040 lander isn't on the surface of the moon 555 00:25:38,500 --> 00:25:36,260 it'll act as sort of a beacon that one 556 00:25:39,970 --> 00:25:38,510 point will tell us exactly about where 557 00:25:41,830 --> 00:25:39,980 it is in space and if we make those 558 00:25:43,360 --> 00:25:41,840 measurements repeatedly we'll understand 559 00:25:44,170 --> 00:25:43,370 how that point is moving in space and 560 00:25:45,700 --> 00:25:44,180 that can tell us something about the 561 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:45,710 interior of the moon this is a very 562 00:25:49,810 --> 00:25:46,970 exciting opportunity from this 563 00:25:51,940 --> 00:25:49,820 incredibly small package now I'm very 564 00:25:53,620 --> 00:25:51,950 happy to send you over to my colleague 565 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:53,630 Mehdi Benna as we talk about his 566 00:25:58,120 --> 00:25:55,850 experiment called seal thanks as you can 567 00:26:00,880 --> 00:25:58,130 see we are here in one of NASA's Goddard 568 00:26:03,550 --> 00:26:00,890 clearings where we are finishing the 569 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:03,560 integration of the same instrument seald 570 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:05,570 stands for the surface and exosphere 571 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:07,930 alterations by landers this instrument 572 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:11,690 will be a test of measuring how the 573 00:26:18,130 --> 00:26:14,330 tenuous environment of the moon is 574 00:26:20,500 --> 00:26:18,140 altered by the exhaust plumes of the 575 00:26:23,260 --> 00:26:20,510 lander this will allow scientists to 576 00:26:26,620 --> 00:26:23,270 gain more insight in how future 577 00:26:28,150 --> 00:26:26,630 spacecraft landing may affect soil 578 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:28,160 samples that are 579 00:26:32,740 --> 00:26:30,770 than in the vicinity so that's so one of 580 00:26:35,140 --> 00:26:32,750 the things we have gone on a Goddard 581 00:26:38,890 --> 00:26:35,150 we're very excited

--> 00:28:31,980 of astronomers as they seek to better 622 00:28:38,090 --> 00:28:35,250 understand the universe I'm gonna anchor 623 00:28:40,910 --> 00:28:38,100 here for a second think about this when 624 00:28:43,340 --> 00:28:40,920 we talk about the James Webb Space 625 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:43,350 Telescope we're talking about a 626 00:28:49,070 --> 00:28:45,690 telescope that will be somewhere around 627 00:28:51,380 --> 00:28:49,080 10 degrees Kelvin almost absolute zero 628 00:28:53,510 --> 00:28:51,390 and temperature it is going to see for 629 00:28:56,300 --> 00:28:53,520 the first time in human history the 630 00:28:58,430 --> 00:28:56,310 first light in the universe it will be 631 00:28:59,660 --> 00:28:58,440 an infrared it won't be in light but 632 00:29:02,120 --> 00:28:59,670 that's because as the universe has 633 00:29:04,490 --> 00:29:02,130 expanded it has gone from light waves to 634 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:04,500 now infrared that is going to be an 635 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:06,570 absolute stunning moment not just in the 636 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:08,130 history of the United States of America 637 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:11,010 but a stunning moment for our nation and 638 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:13,370 for the world and it will forever add 639 00:29:19,730 --> 00:29:15,810 chapters to science books and history 640 00:29:21,230 --> 00:29:19,740 books closer to earth the 2021 budget 641 00:29:22,910 --> 00:29:21,240 supports a robust fleet of 642 00:29:26,380 --> 00:29:22,920 next-generation Earth Observatory 643 00:29:31,030 --> 00:29:26,390

planetary science 666 00:30:35,690 --> 00:30:33,870 including providing funds to study the 667 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:35,700 celestial bodies around us like never 668 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:39,210 before the Mars 2020 Rover is a very 669 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:41,730 exciting mission that I anticipate also 670 00:30:46,190 --> 00:30:44,610 will rewrite textbooks this summer we 671 00:30:48,919 --> 00:30:46,200 will launch this Rover as part of our 672 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:48,929 next-generation robotic explorations 673 00:30:53,150 --> 00:30:50,970 this mission will not only look for 674 00:30:55,549 --> 00:30:53,160 signs of habitable conditions on Mars in 675 00:30:58,570 --> 00:30:55,559 the ancient past but also search for 676 00:31:02,270 --> 00:30:58,580 signs of past microbial life itself and 677 00:31:05,030 --> 00:31:02,280 include and I love this part and include 678 00:31:07,170 --> 00:31:05,040 the first-ever helicopter to fly on 679 00:31:13,089 --> 00:31:07,180 another world 680 00:31:16,129 --> 00:31:13,099 [Applause] 681 00:31:18,049 --> 00:31:16,139 Mars 2020 will also test methods for 682 00:31:19,789 --> 00:31:18,059 producing oxygen from the Martian 683 00:31:22,699 --> 00:31:19,799 atmosphere for the first time and 684 00:31:24,589 --> 00:31:22,709 identify resources on the surface that 685 00:31:27,499 --> 00:31:24,599 could support our future astronauts 686 00:31:30,379 --> 00:31:27,509 long-term missions furthermore the Mars 687 00:31:33,799 --> 00:31:30,389 2020 Rover will initiate a long sought 688 00:31:36,949 --> 00:31:33,809 after mission of returning Martian rocks 689 00:31:39,769 --> 00:31:36,959 and soil to the earth for further study 690 00:31:43,269 --> 00:31:39,779 let's go to NASA's Jet Propulsion lab to 691 00:31:46,609 --> 00:31:43,279 hear more about this pioneering mission 692 00:31:48,919 --> 00:31:46,619 hi I'm Raquel via Nueva here at NASA's 693 00:31:51,619 --> 00:31:48,929 Jet Propulsion Laboratory now it's been 694 00:31:54,019 --> 00:31:51,629 a dream of scientists for generations to 695 00:31:56,479 --> 00:31:54,029 bring back samples from the surface of 696 00:31:58,639 --> 00:31:56,489 Mars and right now the Mars 2020 Rover 697 00:32:00,799 --> 00:31:58,649 mission is laying the groundwork and 698 00:32:02,839 --> 00:32:00,809 that's why I'm in the Institute 699 00:32:05,299 --> 00:32:02,849 instrument laboratory with Jessica 700 00:32:07,789 --> 00:32:05,309 Samuels and she's here to tell us what's 701 00:32:10,939 --> 00:32:07,799 going on here well we use this facility 702 00:32:12,559 --> 00:32:10,949 to develop and design our hardware and 703 00:32:14,809 --> 00:32:12,569 software systems for our Mars mission 704 00:32:17,629 --> 00:32:14,819 and how does the sampling system work so 705 00:32:20,449 --> 00:32:17,639 we have a drill on the end of our 706 00:32:22,069 --> 00:32:20,459 robotic arm and as we are drilling the 707 00:32:25,009 --> 00:32:22,079 surface of Mars and we'll be collecting 708 00:32:27,349 --> 00:32:25,019 pieces of Mars into the sample tube at 709 00:32:29,959 --> 00:32:27,359 that time we'll then transfer that 710 00:32:32,809 --> 00:32:29,969 sample tube into the inside of the rover 711 00:32:34,969 --> 00:32:32,819 and then seal it for storage as we 712 00:32:37,069 --> 00:32:34,979 continue to explore the surface after 713 00:32:39,559 --> 00:32:37,079 we've collected a diverse set of samples 714 00:32:42,249 --> 00:32:39,569 we will drop them off onto the surface 715 00:32:45,049 --> 00:32:42,259 and then have them there for future 716 00:32:46,759 --> 00:32:45,059 sample return mission to continue well I 717 00:32:49,129 --> 00:32:46,769 know you have some tests to keep doing 718 00:32:51,919 --> 00:32:49,139 and I'm actually gonna go check out the 719 00:32:54,109 --> 00:32:51,929 next phase at a different lab we're at a 720 00:32:56,539 --> 00:32:54,119 testing lab affectionately known as the 721 00:32:58,939 --> 00:32:56,549 sandbox and I am here with Austin 722 00:33:01,039 --> 00:32:58,949 Nicholas now can you explain how we are 723 00:33:03,799 --> 00:33:01,049 gonna bring back samples from Mars so 724 00:33:05,899 --> 00:33:03,809 starting from after 2020 has deposited 725 00:33:07,489 --> 00:33:05,909 tubes on the surface there are two more 726 00:33:09,439 --> 00:33:07,499 missions to go and bring the tubes back 727 00:33:12,289 --> 00:33:09,449 to earth the first is a lander mission 728 00:33:14,239 --> 00:33:12,299 it carries three major elements a sample 729 00:33:15,739 --> 00:33:14,249 fetch rover and a sample transfer arm 730 00:33:18,019 --> 00:33:15,749 that lets you transfer the samples from 731 00:33:19,999 --> 00:33:18,029 the fetch Rover into the rocket and a 732 00:33:21,649 --> 00:33:20,009 Mars ascent vehicle which is a rocket 733 00:33:22,219 --> 00:33:21,659 that brings the samples from Mars into 734 00:33:24,499 --> 00:33:22,229 space 735 00:33:26,370 --> 00:33:24,509 meanwhile the orbiter has also launched 736 00:33:27,990 --> 00:33:26,380 from Earth in 2026 and is making it 737 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:28,000 way towards Mars and it'll be in 738 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:29,890 position by the time the Rockets fully 739 00:33:33,930 --> 00:33:32,050 loaded the orbiter will then go to the 740 00:33:35,580 --> 00:33:33,940 sample container that the Rockets put 741 00:33:37,140 --> 00:33:35,590 into space and then capture it 742 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:37,150 ultimately bringing them to earth in 743 00:33:39,990 --> 00:33:37,930 2031 744 00:33:41,550 --> 00:33:40,000 that sounds complicated it is 745 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:41,560 complicated but fortunately we're not 746 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:42,970 doing it alone so we have a great 747 00:33:46,020 --> 00:33:44,290 partnership with the European Space 748 00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:46,030 Agency and they're providing some major 749 00:33:49,620 --> 00:33:48,130 pieces of this mission within NASA we've 750 00:33:51,990 --> 00:33:49,630 actually got a number of centers working 751 00:33:53,010 --> 00:33:52,000 on all of the different pieces so we're 752 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:53,020 partnering with Marshall Space Flight 753 00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:54,250 Center for the Mars ascent vehicle 754 00:33:59,400 --> 00:33:57,010 Langley and Ames for the earth entry 755 00:34:00,780 --> 00:33:59,410 vehicle Glenn for the sample fetch Rover 756 00:34:02,910 --> 00:34:00,790 wheels and we're partnering with Goddard 757 00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:02,920 for the orbiter payload and so there's 758 00:34:06,630 --> 00:34:04,930 really a whole NASA effort to get more 759 00:34:08,669 --> 00:34:06,640 sample return done sounds like there is 760 00:34:11,369 --> 00:34:08,679 a lot of work to be done but this all 761 00:34:13,590 --> 00:34:11,379 kicks off with the launch of Mars 2020 762 00:34:15,659 --> 00:34:13,600 this summer in Cape Canaveral Florida 763 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:15,669 and there's lots of excitement here as 764 00:34:28,569 --> 00:34:25,829 [Applause] 765 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:28,579 the Mars sample return mission is a high 766 00:34:32,859 --> 00:34:30,290 priority not only for the scientific 767 00:34:34,839 --> 00:34:32,869 knowledge it will provide but also the 768 00:34:36,879 --> 00:34:34,849 opportunity it presents to tackle a 769 00:34:39,220 --> 00:34:36,889 difficult technological challenge 770 00:34:41,770 --> 00:34:39,230 remember Mars 2020 is going to have the 771 00:34:43,450 --> 00:34:41,780 first Mars helicopter the Mars sample 772 00:34:46,869 --> 00:34:43,460 return will include the first-ever 773 00:34:49,389 --> 00:34:46,879 rocket launched from another planet for 774 00:34:51,970 --> 00:34:49,399 more than 50 years the Aeronautics 775 00:34:54,159 --> 00:34:51,980 Mission Directorate at NASA has advanced 776 00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:54,169 game-changing technologies like 777 00:34:59,050 --> 00:34:56,690 fuel-efficient turbofan engines fuel 778 00:35:02,050 --> 00:34:59,060 saving winglets lighter composite 779 00:35:04,240 --> 00:35:02,060 structures and digital fly-by-wire to 780 00:35:07,950 --> 00:35:04,250 shape modern aviation as we know it 781 00:35:10,750 --> 00:35:07,960 truly NASA is with you when you fly 782 00:35:13,780 --> 00:35:10,760 today we are reinventing aviation for 783 00:35:15,970 --> 00:35:13,790 the next 50 years where aircraft look 784 00:35:18,430 --> 00:35:15,980 different and aircraft are powered 785 00:35:20,530 --> 00:35:18,440 differently the world of aviation is 786 00:35:22,900 --> 00:35:20,540 about to change forever and the men and 787 00:35:25,510 --> 00:35:22,910 women of NASA are leading those changes 788 00:35:27,579 --> 00:35:25,520 the 2021 budget fully supports 789 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:27,589 Aeronautics research that enables 790 00:35:32,319 --> 00:35:30,130 breakthroughs such as our x57 791 00:35:35,650 --> 00:35:32,329 all-electric experimental airplane 792 00:35:37,030 --> 00:35:35,660 scheduled to fly later this year lessons 793 00:35:39,790 --> 00:35:37,040 learned from the x57 794 00:35:43,690 --> 00:35:39,800 are already being shared with the new 795 00:35:45,609 --> 00:35:43,700 electric vertical lift vehicle market we 796 00:35:48,700 --> 00:35:45,619 are also moving forward on the testing 797 00:35:52,319 --> 00:35:48,710 of the low boom flight demonstrator with 798 00:35:56,140 --> 00:35:52,329 an anticipated first flight in 2022 a 799 00:35:58,059 --> 00:35:56,150 successful quiet supersonic flight 800 00:36:00,730 --> 00:35:58,069 demonstration will pave the way for 801 00:36:03,430 --> 00:36:00,740 Overland supersonic flight that could 802 00:36:06,010 --> 00:36:03,440 cut commercial flight times in half and 803 00:36:08,890 --> 00:36:06,020 the budget supports one Aeronautics 804 00:36:11,470 --> 00:36:08,900 project that in my opinion has one of 805 00:36:12,339 --> 00:36:11,480 the greatest potentials to change all of 806 00:36:15,660 --> 00:36:12,349 our lives 807 00:36:18,460 --> 00:36:15,670 urban air mobility in the near future 808 00:36:20,829 --> 00:36:18,470 semi and fully autonomous vehicles will 809 00:36:23,530 --> 00:36:20,839 provide many new services and carry 810 00:36:26,109 --> 00:36:23,540 packages and people in and around cities 811 00:36:28,599 --> 00:36:26,119 large and small a big part of the urban 812 00:36:30,309 --> 00:36:28,609 air mobility world is the small drones 813 00:36:32,930 --> 00:36:30,319 that will transform the commercial 814 00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:32,940 delivery for industry 815 00:36:39,500 --> 00:36:35,130 see response and agricultural mining 816 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:39,510 monitoring and so much more friends this 817 00:36:45,170 --> 00:36:42,690 is who we are at NASA all across this 818 00:36:48,500 --> 00:36:45,180 agency I see people that perfectly 819 00:36:51,170 --> 00:36:48,510

00:39:08,700 the jewel of our efforts in low-earth 857 00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:11,490 orbit as we celebrate 20 years of 858 00:39:16,510 --> 00:39:14,130 continuously living and working in space 859 00:39:19,039 --> 00:39:16,520 and this year with commercial partners 860 00:39:22,579 --> 00:39:19,049 American astronauts will once again 861 00:39:23,059 --> 00:39:22,589 launch on American Rockets from American 862 00:39:26,450 --> 00:39:23,069 soil 863 00:39:29,450 --> 00:39:26,460 this year we bring to life the core 864 00:39:32,180 --> 00:39:29,460 stage of the most powerful rocket ever 865 00:39:34,849 --> 00:39:32,190 built the Space Launch System and the 866 00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:34,859 Orion spacecraft will complete its 867 00:39:40,130 --> 00:39:37,290 testing then to make its way to our 868 00:39:43,099 --> 00:39:40,140 space coast for the uncrewed Artemis one 869 00:39:45,020 --> 00:39:43,109 mission during the course of 2020 the 870 00:39:47,990 --> 00:39:45,030 developments of the gateway lunar 871 00:39:51,770 --> 00:39:48,000 station will pave the way for our return 872 00:39:54,140 --> 00:39:51,780 to the moon like 2024 with every 873 00:39:57,300 --> 00:39:54,150 advancement for the moon we push forward 874 00:39:59,520 --> 00:39:57,310 similar capabilities for Mars 875 00:40:02,490 --> 00:39:59,530 and just as we have recently expanded 876 00:40:04,980 --> 00:40:02,500 the astronaut corps we once again will 877 00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:04,990 invite explorers to apply for the 878 00:40:10,950 --> 00:40:07,810 missions ahead as we reach farther and 879 00:40:13,620 --> 00:40:10,960 farther out we see more of the intricate 880 00:40:15,780 --> 00:40:13,630 beauty of our home planet our fleet of 881 00:40:17,970 --> 00:40:15,790 earth satellites and the scientists 882 00:40:21,540 --> 00:40:17,980 using their data will reveal insights 883 00:40:24,290 --> 00:40:21,550 about our ever changing planet for the 884 00:40:27,330 --> 00:40:24,300 first time we will fly our experimental 885 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:27,340 all-electric aircraft with motors better 886 00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:30,610 efficient and reliable and this year we 887 00:40:35,310 --> 00:40:32,770 will see the final results from our 888 00:40:39,390 --> 00:40:35,320 field demos of a system to support the 889 00:40:42,090 --> 00:40:39,400 safe flight of drones in the drumbeat of 890 00:40:45,420 --> 00:40:42,100 this year we will see our spacecraft get 891 00:40:48,210 --> 00:40:45,430 closer and closer to the Sun touch the 892 00:40:52,260 --> 00:40:48,220 surface of an asteroid and launch our 893 00:40:55,020 --> 00:40:52,270 most advanced Rover yet to Mars this is 894 00:40:58,020 --> 00:40:55,030 a year of action our progress across 895 00:41:01,230 --> 00:40:58,030 this agency is growing with each 896 00:41:04,410 --> 00:41:01,240 milestone we are preparing to go farther 897 00:41:07,030 --> 00:41:04,420 than ever before and lay the foundation 898 00:41:14,510 --> 00:41:07,040 for all that comes next 899 00:41:19,260 --> 00:41:14,520 [Music] 900 00:41:22,170 --> 00:41:19,270 50 years ago we went to the moon we 901 00:41:26,070 --> 00:41:22,180 called it Apollo well many people don't 902 00:41:31,340 --> 00:41:26,080 know is that Apollo had a twin she was a 903 00:41:37,830 --> 00:41:34,620 we are returning to the men as a new 904 00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:37,840 generation of explorers this time to 905 00:41:43,410 --> 00:41:40,690 stay and to prepare to achieve
