00:04:42,150 --> 00:04:41,350
this rover is the beginning of the next

5
00:04:44,390 --> 00:04:42,160
generation

6
00:04:47,030 --> 00:04:44,400
of mars missions whose purpose is to

7
00:04:49,749 --> 00:04:47,040
prepare mars samples for return to earth

8
00:04:51,830 --> 00:04:49,759
and pave the way for eventual human

9
00:04:54,870 --> 00:04:51,840
exploration of mars

10
00:04:57,270 --> 00:04:54,880
for nearly a decade over 3 000

11
00:04:58,150 --> 00:04:57,280
team members from nasa's jet propulsion

12
00:05:00,150 --> 00:04:58,160
laboratory

13
00:05:01,909 --> 00:05:00,160
and partners from around the world have

14
00:05:04,310 --> 00:05:01,919
put their hearts and souls

15
00:05:06,310 --> 00:05:04,320
and many long hours into building the

16
00:05:09,029 --> 00:05:06,320
most technologically advanced

17
00:05:10,310 --> 00:05:09,039
interplanetary vehicle we've ever sent

18
00:05:13,430 --> 00:05:10,320
to mars

19
00:05:15,749 --> 00:05:13,440
with seven instruments 23 cameras

20
00:05:17,749 --> 00:05:15,759
a robotic arm and state-of-the-art

21
00:05:19,830 --> 00:05:17,759
mobility and sampling systems

22
00:05:21,350 --> 00:05:19,840
we've given it everything it needs to

23
00:05:24,550 --> 00:05:21,360
succeed in its mission

24
00:05:25,510 --> 00:05:24,560
except a name so nasa asks students from

25
00:05:27,430 --> 00:05:25,520
around the country

26
00:05:28,950 --> 00:05:27,440
to submit their ideas for the rover's

27
00:05:32,469 --> 00:05:28,960
name now

34
00:06:08,150 --> 00:06:06,080
2020 rover was built i'm raquel

35
00:06:10,469 --> 00:06:08,160
villanueva and i'm here today with

36
00:06:11,510 --> 00:06:10,479
many of the engineers and scientists who

37
00:06:13,670 --> 00:06:11,520
built the rover

38
00:06:15,590 --> 00:06:13,680
and will operate it once it lands on

39
00:06:18,150 --> 00:06:15,600
mars they're waiting

40
00:06:19,430 --> 00:06:18,160
just like you to find out which name has

41
00:06:21,430 --> 00:06:19,440
been selected from the

42
00:06:23,670 --> 00:06:21,440
thousands of entries submitted by

43
00:06:25,590 --> 00:06:23,680

soon to show you

47
00:06:37,990 --> 00:06:37,120
where the name will go on the rover but

48
00:06:40,150 --> 00:06:38,000
for now

49
00:06:41,110 --> 00:06:40,160
let's head on over to a school somewhere

50
00:06:44,309 --> 00:06:41,120
in america

51
00:06:45,189 --> 00:06:44,319
to find out the name of nasa's next mars

52
00:06:47,189 --> 00:06:45,199
rover

53
00:06:49,830 --> 00:06:47,199
d'am bell is one of our partners in the

54
00:06:50,629 --> 00:06:49,840

you are sending us to all kinds of

60
00:07:11,749 --> 00:07:08,639
places in our solar system

61
00:07:14,790 --> 00:07:11,759
it is beyond impressive and exciting and

62
00:07:16,629 --> 00:07:14,800
speaking of exciting this is the big day

63
00:07:20,230 --> 00:07:16,639
where we find out the name

64
00:07:22,390 --> 00:07:20,240
of nasa's next mars rover this journey

65
00:07:25,909 --> 00:07:22,400
started back in august we had 28

66
00:07:26,629 --> 00:07:25,919
000 entries 4 700 judges and it's all

67
00:07:29,110 --> 00:07:26,639
brought us

68
00:07:30,710 --> 00:07:29,120
right here to learn that winning name i

69
00:07:44,150 --> 00:07:30,720
am in burke virginia

70
00:07:49,589 --> 00:07:44,160
at lake braddock secondary school blake

71
00:07:52,790 --> 00:07:51,670
so my name is deanne i'm with future

72
00:07:55,110 --> 00:07:52,800
engineers one of the partner

73
00:07:56,790 --> 00:07:55,120
organizations that put on this contest

74
00:07:59,189 --> 00:07:56,800
and i bet we have some future engineers

75
00:08:02,550 --> 00:07:59,199
in this room and some future scientists

76
00:08:05,589 --> 00:08:02,560
and some future explorers and guess what

77
00:08:06,629 --> 00:08:05,599
we are the artemis generation we are

78
00:08:09,670 --> 00:08:06,639
sending humans

79
00:08:12,230 --> 00:08:09,680
back to the moon we are exploring mars

80
00:08:14,230 --> 00:08:12,240
and i cannot wait to find out the name

81
00:08:15,430 --> 00:08:14,240
for the next robotic explorer headed to

82
00:08:17,350 --> 00:08:15,440
mars

83
00:08:19,749 --> 00:08:17,360
so without further ado i'm going to

84
00:08:21,749 --> 00:08:19,759
bring up two very important people

85
00:08:23,670 --> 00:08:21,759
we have two of nasa's top leading

86
00:08:26,710 --> 00:08:23,680
scientists we have dr

87
00:08:27,350 --> 00:08:26,720
thomas zurbukin also known as dr z he's

88
00:08:30,230 --> 00:08:27,360
in charge of

89
00:08:32,149 --> 00:08:30,240
all of science at nasa and he has a

90
00:08:35,430 --> 00:08:32,159
personal preference for the sun

91
00:08:37,670 --> 00:08:35,440
and also the planet mercury he's also

92
00:08:39,350 --> 00:08:37,680
accompanied by dr lori glaze back here

93
00:08:40,790 --> 00:08:39,360
she's in charge of all of planetary

94
00:08:43,190 --> 00:08:40,800
science at nasa

95
00:08:45,509 --> 00:08:43,200
and she loves volcanoes but not the ones

96
00:08:47,350 --> 00:08:45,519
here the ones in our solar system

97
00:08:48,710 --> 00:08:47,360
so without further ado i'm going to let

98
00:08:56,070 --> 00:08:48,720
dr z take it away

99
00:09:01,030 --> 00:08:59,110
hey thank you deanne and hi everybody

100
00:09:02,870 --> 00:09:01,040
here at the high school at chapel and

101
00:09:05,110 --> 00:09:02,880
everywhere around the world we're making

102
00:09:08,470 --> 00:09:05,120
history right now

103
00:09:09,670 --> 00:09:08,480
we're making history right here today we

104
00:09:13,190 --> 00:09:09,680
are naming

105
00:09:14,790 --> 00:09:13,200
a spacecraft that will go to mars

106
00:09:16,310 --> 00:09:14,800
and make measurements we've never made

107
00:09:18,630 --> 00:09:16,320
before

108
00:09:20,710 --> 00:09:18,640
it will be the first leg of the first

109
00:09:23,750 --> 00:09:20,720
round trip of humanity

110
00:09:25,350 --> 00:09:23,760
to mars bringing back these samples that

111
00:09:28,550 --> 00:09:25,360
tell us secrets about

112
00:09:28,560 --> 00:09:34,829
and the name of this mission

113
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:37,290
is

114
00:09:48,829 --> 00:09:40,210
[Music]

115
00:09:48,839 --> 00:10:02,230
perseverance

116
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:06,870
you know curiosity got

117
00:10:10,550 --> 00:10:09,670
to planet mars when many of you are

118
00:10:14,550 --> 00:10:10,560
babies or

119
00:10:16,230 --> 00:10:14,560
little kids and curiosity is what we

120
00:10:18,870 --> 00:10:16,240
need when we explore

121
00:10:21,110 --> 00:10:18,880
it pulls it forward it's about that

122
00:10:21,829 --> 00:10:21,120
motivation to explore beyond what's

123
00:10:25,430 --> 00:10:21,839
there

124
00:10:27,030 --> 00:10:25,440
curiosity is always part of exploration

125
00:10:29,430 --> 00:10:27,040
but when you flip over that metal you

126
00:10:32,470 --> 00:10:29,440
look at the other side what is there

127
00:10:33,990 --> 00:10:32,480
it's perseverance there has never been

128
00:10:36,949 --> 00:10:34,000
expiration

129
00:10:38,310 --> 00:10:36,959
never never be making history without

130
00:10:44,230 --> 00:10:38,320
perseverance

131
00:10:46,230 --> 00:10:44,240
what exploration is all about

132
00:10:49,110 --> 00:10:46,240
perseverance is a strong world

133
00:10:49,829 --> 00:10:49,120
a word it's about making progress

134
00:10:51,990 --> 00:10:49,839
despite

135
00:10:53,110 --> 00:10:52,000
obstacles everybody who's ever tried

136
00:10:56,230 --> 00:10:53,120
building hardware

137
00:10:59,269 --> 00:10:56,240
i tried knows how important it is

138
00:11:01,990 --> 00:10:59,279
and it will be important for this rover

139
00:11:05,269 --> 00:11:02,000
today but as we go forward

140
00:11:07,110 --> 00:11:05,279
space exploration is hard and it's

141
00:11:07,910 --> 00:11:07,120
difficult it has been difficult in the

142
00:11:10,470 --> 00:11:07,920
past

143
00:11:11,670 --> 00:11:10,480
but it's so exciting and we need

144
00:11:14,150 --> 00:11:11,680
everybody

145
00:11:15,190 --> 00:11:14,160
to engage we need the artemis generation

146
00:11:18,710 --> 00:11:15,200
in this room

147
00:11:19,829 --> 00:11:18,720
all of you and many more in the united

148
00:11:24,150 --> 00:11:19,839
states

149
00:11:27,190 --> 00:11:24,160
and beyond we go together to mars

150
00:11:28,069 --> 00:11:27,200
together with the united states and with

151
00:11:30,550 --> 00:11:28,079
our international

152
00:11:31,590 --> 00:11:30,560
and commercial communities and the

153
00:11:34,550 --> 00:11:31,600
perseverance

154
00:11:36,310 --> 00:11:34,560
rover will lead the way to the next

155
00:11:38,870 --> 00:11:36,320
generation

156
00:11:39,829 --> 00:11:38,880
of exploration exploration that at this

157
00:11:41,990 --> 00:11:39,839
moment in time

158
00:11:43,590 --> 00:11:42,000

if i can unfold this paper

181
00:13:08,230 --> 00:13:05,829
curiosity insight spirit

182
00:13:10,310 --> 00:13:08,240
if you think about it all of these names

183
00:13:11,990 --> 00:13:10,320
of past mars rovers are qualities we

184
00:13:14,470 --> 00:13:12,000
possess as humans

185
00:13:15,990 --> 00:13:14,480
we're always curious and seek

186
00:13:17,590 --> 00:13:16,000
opportunity

187
00:13:21,110 --> 00:13:17,600
we have the spirit and insight to

188
00:13:23,110 --> 00:13:21,120
explore the moon mars and beyond

189
00:13:24,230 --> 00:13:23,120
but if rovers are to be the qualities of

190
00:13:26,310 --> 00:13:24,240
us as a race

191
00:13:27,990 --> 00:13:26,320
we missed the most important thing

192
00:13:30,069 --> 00:13:28,000
perseverance

193
00:13:32,710 --> 00:13:30,079
we as humans evolved as creatures who

194
00:13:35,190 --> 00:13:32,720
could learn to adapt to any situation

195
00:13:36,470 --> 00:13:35,200
no matter how harsh we are species of

196
00:13:38,150 --> 00:13:36,480
explorers

197
00:13:39,910 --> 00:13:38,160
and we will meet many setbacks on the

198
00:13:43,750 --> 00:13:39,920
way to mars however

199
00:13:46,230 --> 00:13:43,760
we can persevere we not as a nation

200
00:13:47,670 --> 00:13:46,240
but as humans will not give up the human

201
00:13:49,540 --> 00:13:47,680
grace will always persevere into the

202
00:13:59,750 --> 00:13:49,550
future

203
00:14:04,310 --> 00:14:01,590
we're going to have a moment now of a

204
00:14:07,350 --> 00:14:04,320
little q a with alex

205
00:14:09,990 --> 00:14:07,360
so congratulations again alex

206
00:14:11,430 --> 00:14:10,000
thank you this is a really tremendous

207
00:14:13,350 --> 00:14:11,440
achievement

208
00:14:15,750 --> 00:14:13,360
i enjoyed meeting you i got to be one of

209
00:14:17,750 --> 00:14:15,760
the four panelists that did the

210
00:14:19,430 --> 00:14:17,760
interviews with the nine finalists and

211
00:14:20,790 --> 00:14:19,440
so it's great to finally get to meet you

212
00:14:22,629 --> 00:14:20,800
in person

213
00:14:24,389 --> 00:14:22,639
and when we had our interview we talked

214
00:14:26,150 --> 00:14:24,399
about a lot of different things but

215
00:14:28,069 --> 00:14:26,160
maybe you could share with the group

216
00:14:31,829 --> 00:14:28,079
here today the folks in the room and the

217
00:14:35,269 --> 00:14:31,839
folks that are watching us online

218
00:14:38,389 --> 00:14:35,279
why it is that you love space so much

219
00:14:41,750 --> 00:14:38,399
that's actually really easy when

220
00:14:42,790 --> 00:14:41,760
i turned 11 my parents decided to send

221
00:14:46,389 --> 00:14:42,800
me to space camp

222
00:14:49,110 --> 00:14:46,399
as a birthday present and

223
00:14:49,430 --> 00:14:49,120
originally i didn't know what to expect

224
00:14:50,629 --> 00:14:49,440
but

225
00:14:52,949 --> 00:14:50,639
i don't know if any of you have ever

226
00:14:54,069 --> 00:14:52,959
been to space camp but as you're driving

227
00:14:56,550 --> 00:14:54,079
up to the campus

228
00:14:57,670 --> 00:14:56,560
there's this building that is blocking

229
00:15:00,710 --> 00:14:57,680
the view of the

230
00:15:04,069 --> 00:15:00,720
model of the saturn v that's

231
00:15:07,030 --> 00:15:04,079
just on campus and as you drive up to

232
00:15:08,310 --> 00:15:07,040
the campus you see the capsule of the

233
00:15:11,350 --> 00:15:08,320
saturn v

234
00:15:12,710 --> 00:15:11,360
slowly rise above the building and 11

235
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:12,720
year old me saw that

236
00:15:16,389 --> 00:15:14,210
and lost his mind

237
00:15:17,750 --> 00:15:16,399
[Laughter]

238
00:15:19,189 --> 00:15:17,760
i immediately knew that space is

239
00:15:20,470 --> 00:15:19,199
something i was doing for the rest of my

240
00:15:22,550 --> 00:15:20,480
life

241
00:15:23,910 --> 00:15:22,560
that is just a great story i love that

242
00:15:25,990 --> 00:15:23,920
it's inspirational

243
00:15:28,150 --> 00:15:26,000
and a lot of us at nasa were in your

244
00:15:31,430 --> 00:15:28,160
shoes when we were your age

245
00:15:33,829 --> 00:15:31,440
and were inspired uh to go on and

246
00:15:35,189 --> 00:15:33,839
become engineers and scientists and

247
00:15:38,310 --> 00:15:35,199
explorers

248
00:15:39,590 --> 00:15:38,320
and uh it took for all of us an enormous

249
00:15:41,509 --> 00:15:39,600
amount of perseverance

250
00:15:42,949 --> 00:15:41,519
to get to where we are today so we

251
00:15:45,189 --> 00:15:42,959
really appreciate the name that you've

252
00:15:47,829 --> 00:15:45,199
suggested for our next mars rover

253
00:15:48,629 --> 00:15:47,839
so just one more question can you share

254
00:15:51,590 --> 00:15:48,639
with us

255
00:15:53,030 --> 00:15:51,600
what your goals are as a young person

256
00:15:55,189 --> 00:15:53,040
who wants to make your own mark in

257
00:15:57,189 --> 00:15:55,199
exploration

258
00:15:58,310 --> 00:15:57,199
so let's start a little bit more

259
00:15:59,510 --> 00:15:58,320
short-term goals

260
00:16:02,310 --> 00:15:59,520
high school diploma

261
00:16:04,470 --> 00:16:02,320
[Laughter]

262
00:16:06,310 --> 00:16:04,480
get that first get those two years of

263
00:16:09,509 --> 00:16:06,320
language

264
00:16:12,710 --> 00:16:09,519
do those and

265
00:16:15,829 --> 00:16:12,720
after that i want to go to college

266
00:16:16,710 --> 00:16:15,839
get a degree in some form of engineering

267
00:16:18,790 --> 00:16:16,720
or science

268
00:16:20,150 --> 00:16:18,800
space engineering and astronautics sound

269
00:16:23,030 --> 00:16:20,160
good right now

270
00:16:24,790 --> 00:16:23,040
and then after that go work at nasa as

271
00:16:27,590 --> 00:16:24,800
in engineer

272
00:16:29,990 --> 00:16:27,600
perfect sounds like a great plan thanks

273
00:16:34,230 --> 00:16:31,990
i think they support that plan all right

274
00:16:37,910 --> 00:16:34,240
alex now do you have any questions

275
00:16:39,829 --> 00:16:37,920
for uh dr z or for lori i do

276
00:16:41,269 --> 00:16:39,839
so could you tell me more about the

277
00:16:42,949 --> 00:16:41,279
arguments program

278
00:16:44,310 --> 00:16:42,959
so we're really excited about artemis

279
00:16:45,590 --> 00:16:44,320
you know we've been

280
00:16:47,590 --> 00:16:45,600
in low earth orbit with the

281
00:16:49,350 --> 00:16:47,600
international space station

282
00:16:51,430 --> 00:16:49,360
the whole duration of your lives if

283
00:16:53,350 --> 00:16:51,440
you're students here for over 18 years

284
00:16:54,550 --> 00:16:53,360
there's always been americans up there

285
00:16:55,350 --> 00:16:54,560
together with their international

286
00:16:58,790 --> 00:16:55,360
partners

287
00:17:02,069 --> 00:16:58,800
and it's time to go beyond we want to go

288
00:17:03,189 --> 00:17:02,079
to the moon with that next generation of

289
00:17:05,590 --> 00:17:03,199
explorers and

290
00:17:07,909 --> 00:17:05,600
new technologies go to the moon learn

291
00:17:09,029 --> 00:17:07,919
how to stay there sustainably not to

292
00:17:11,590 --> 00:17:09,039
stay there forever

293
00:17:13,590 --> 00:17:11,600
but to learn how to go to mars because

294
00:17:16,150 --> 00:17:13,600
even though we're sending a rower

295
00:17:17,429 --> 00:17:16,160
this year to mars we really want to send

296
00:17:19,829 --> 00:17:17,439
people and bring them back

297
00:17:22,230 --> 00:17:19,839
safely so that is the ultimate goal of

298
00:17:26,470 --> 00:17:22,240
the artemis generation

299
00:17:28,630 --> 00:17:26,480
all right and in 10 years

300
00:17:31,510 --> 00:17:28,640
most of the people in this room will be

301
00:17:32,950 --> 00:17:31,520
out of college and looking for a job

302
00:17:35,190 --> 00:17:32,960
what are going to be the cool nasa

303
00:17:36,390 --> 00:17:35,200
missions i love that question so let me

304
00:17:37,350 --> 00:17:36,400
tell you about some of the cool things

305
00:17:38,870 --> 00:17:37,360
we'll be doing

306
00:17:40,950 --> 00:17:38,880
in about 10 years when you all get out

307
00:17:41,590 --> 00:17:40,960
of college number one we talked about

308
00:17:44,150 --> 00:17:41,600
the mars

309
00:17:46,230 --> 00:17:44,160
2020 the perseverance rover is going to

310
00:17:48,950 --> 00:17:46,240
be collecting samples it's the first

311
00:17:49,590 --> 00:17:48,960
leg of the first round trip from earth

312
00:17:52,470 --> 00:17:49,600
to mars

313
00:17:53,830 --> 00:17:52,480
and back to bring those samples back to

314
00:17:56,470 --> 00:17:53,840
earth and so we're hoping

315
00:17:58,789 --> 00:17:56,480
in the 2030s that we will be bringing

316
00:18:00,950 --> 00:17:58,799
those samples back here to earth

317
00:18:02,470 --> 00:18:00,960
that'll be incredibly cool we also have

318
00:18:04,870 --> 00:18:02,480
a mission right now that we're

319
00:18:06,710 --> 00:18:04,880
beginning work on called dragonfly which

320
00:18:10,390 --> 00:18:06,720
is going to be a mission to send an

321
00:18:10,950 --> 00:18:10,400
octocopter drone to the surface of titan

322
00:18:14,230 --> 00:18:10,960
which is a

323
00:18:16,150 --> 00:18:14,240
moon of saturn really cool place and

324
00:18:19,270 --> 00:18:16,160
that one's supposed to launch in 26 and

325
00:18:20,230 --> 00:18:19,280
it's supposed to land on titan in 2034

326
00:18:22,150 --> 00:18:20,240
and so that's going to do some

327
00:18:23,029 --> 00:18:22,160
incredible science on the surface of

328
00:18:24,549 --> 00:18:23,039
titan

329
00:18:25,990 --> 00:18:24,559
going even further than that we're

330
00:18:27,270 --> 00:18:26,000
thinking about missions that could

331
00:18:29,270 --> 00:18:27,280
potentially go

332
00:18:31,430 --> 00:18:29,280
to uranus or neptune there's a really

333
00:18:33,510 --> 00:18:31,440
important opportunity at the end

334
00:18:34,870 --> 00:18:33,520
of the 2020s where all of the planets

335
00:18:37,270 --> 00:18:34,880
line up just right that we could

336
00:18:39,590 --> 00:18:37,280
actually go visit uranus and neptune

337
00:18:40,950 --> 00:18:39,600
at the same time so that's a really cool

338
00:18:42,789 --> 00:18:40,960
thing that we're looking at

339
00:18:44,950 --> 00:18:42,799
we're thinking about missions to go land

340
00:18:46,230 --> 00:18:44,960
on the surface of other icy moons like

341
00:18:48,470 --> 00:18:46,240
the moon of europa

342
00:18:49,909 --> 00:18:48,480
that's around jupiter that's got ice and

343
00:18:51,669 --> 00:18:49,919
we think a liquid ocean beneath we'd

344
00:18:53,590 --> 00:18:51,679
like to land on the surface there

345
00:18:55,110 --> 00:18:53,600
or enceladus another moon of saturn

346
00:18:55,750 --> 00:18:55,120
where we think there might be liquid

347
00:18:59,430 --> 00:18:55,760
oceans

348
00:19:01,590 --> 00:18:59,440
and maybe even potentially

349
00:19:03,590 --> 00:19:01,600
signs of life inside those liquid oceans

350
00:19:05,430 --> 00:19:03,600
so there are some incredibly

351
00:19:07,270 --> 00:19:05,440
amazing opportunities that are coming in

352
00:19:08,950 --> 00:19:07,280
the 2030s

353
00:19:10,950 --> 00:19:08,960
so we look for all of you guys to join

354
00:19:12,870 --> 00:19:10,960
us at nasa at that time i was just gonna

355
00:19:14,950 --> 00:19:12,880
say that and guess what nasa needs you

356
00:19:16,150 --> 00:19:14,960
and nasa needs all of you and nasa needs

357
00:19:19,430 --> 00:19:16,160

00:22:49,190 --> 00:22:48,799
mars and venus that's about as good as i

432
00:22:52,390 --> 00:22:49,200
can

433
00:22:54,310 --> 00:22:52,400
remember from high school days that now

434
00:22:56,310 --> 00:22:54,320
when you look out in the sky

435
00:22:57,669 --> 00:22:56,320

436
00:23:01,350 --> 00:22:57,679

come on don't be shy don't be shy

570
00:28:35,510 --> 00:28:34,159
hello um are you gonna come board

571
00:28:37,190 --> 00:28:35,520
somebody should go ahead and grab the

572
00:28:40,549 --> 00:28:37,200
prize that robbie's giving you

573
00:28:42,470 --> 00:28:40,559
all right thank you roby

574
00:28:44,149 --> 00:28:42,480
so the fun fact about this prize is this

575
00:28:47,269 --> 00:28:44,159
is actually the semifinalist prize

576
00:28:48,389 --> 00:28:47,279
packet so in this contest there were 155

577
00:28:51,510 --> 00:28:48,399
semi-finalists

578
00:28:53,269 --> 00:28:51,520
nine finalists but there were 28 000

579
00:28:54,789 --> 00:28:53,279
entries and those entries were

580
00:28:56,789 --> 00:28:54,799
phenomenal i think you know

581
00:28:57,990 --> 00:28:56,799
best of all that the competition was was

582
00:29:00,549 --> 00:28:58,000

583
00:29:01,830 --> 00:29:00,559
tough and so we just want to take a

584
00:29:04,149 --> 00:29:01,840
moment to acknowledge

585
00:29:05,590 --> 00:29:04,159
every single student that submitted an

586
00:29:08,710 --> 00:29:05,600
entry in this contest

587
00:29:10,950 --> 00:29:08,720
your enthusiasm for space is phenomenal

588
00:29:14,149 --> 00:29:10,960
and we just encourage you to keep going

589
00:29:17,110 --> 00:29:14,159
keep going that that passion has a home

590
00:29:17,669 --> 00:29:17,120
in this family of space exploration so

591
00:29:19,669 --> 00:29:17,679
um

592
00:29:24,830 --> 00:29:19,679

all right thanks deanne

603
00:30:09,269 --> 00:30:06,840
what does everyone here think of the new

604
00:30:12,389 --> 00:30:09,279
name

605
00:30:15,909 --> 00:30:12,399
i can feel your energy right now

606
00:30:22,470 --> 00:30:19,190
and with us here is jennifer

607
00:30:24,710 --> 00:30:22,480
trosper she is the mission manager

608
00:30:26,149 --> 00:30:24,720
for perseverance and she's going to tell

609
00:30:29,029 --> 00:30:26,159
us a little bit more about

610
00:30:30,230 --> 00:30:29,039
where the name will go on the rover

611
00:30:32,310 --> 00:30:30,240
thanks raquel

612
00:30:34,630 --> 00:30:32,320
well it is awesome to be here with the

613
00:30:36,950 --> 00:30:34,640
mars 2020 team

614
00:30:38,950 --> 00:30:36,960
for the unveiling of the name of the

615
00:30:48,830 --> 00:30:38,960
rover how many of you think that is an

616
00:31:01,350 --> 00:30:51,510
and how many of you

617
00:31:07,029 --> 00:31:04,789
all right so now finally

618
00:31:08,870 --> 00:31:07,039
now that everybody knows the name i can

619
00:31:11,509 --> 00:31:08,880
open this package

620
00:31:12,310 --> 00:31:11,519
here it we in fact this is the rover

621
00:31:14,549 --> 00:31:12,320
name plate

622
00:31:16,389 --> 00:31:14,559
it's a flight spare it's not the actual

623
00:31:19,750 --> 00:31:16,399
one that's going to go on the rover

624
00:31:20,310 --> 00:31:19,760
but it's just like it the rover name

625
00:31:23,590 --> 00:31:20,320
plate

626
00:31:25,269 --> 00:31:23,600
is we made uh several because even we

627
00:31:27,669 --> 00:31:25,279
didn't know what the rover's name

628
00:31:29,830 --> 00:31:27,679
was going to be so this is the rover

629
00:31:41,350 --> 00:31:29,840
name plate with perseverance

630
00:31:48,230 --> 00:31:44,789
i really like the font selection it's

631
00:31:50,389 --> 00:31:48,240
very spacey so this is actually it

632
00:31:51,750 --> 00:31:50,399
functions on the rover's robotic arm as

633
00:31:53,750 --> 00:31:51,760
a rock guard

634
00:31:55,190 --> 00:31:53,760
my robotic arm people are sitting here

635
00:31:56,710 --> 00:31:55,200
saying so when the rubber drives you

636
00:31:58,230 --> 00:31:56,720
want to make sure that the cables that

637
00:32:00,470 --> 00:31:58,240
are underneath this

638
00:32:02,789 --> 00:32:00,480
don't get damaged and you can see the

639
00:32:05,830 --> 00:32:02,799
rover's robotic arm in this picture

640
00:32:06,789 --> 00:32:05,840
and you can see the name plate on the

641
00:32:09,110 --> 00:32:06,799
arm

642
00:32:11,509 --> 00:32:09,120
so now i'm going to put this here weighs

643
00:32:12,549 --> 00:32:11,519
about 100 grams and i think we have some

644
00:32:15,750 --> 00:32:12,559
video

645
00:32:17,669 --> 00:32:15,760
of the nameplate being made you can see

646
00:32:19,990 --> 00:32:17,679
there it is it's in a shop that was

647
00:32:22,549 --> 00:32:20,000
local to los angeles

648
00:32:24,310 --> 00:32:22,559
one of the things that they did is they

649
00:32:25,029 --> 00:32:24,320
covered this with the thermal black

650
00:32:28,149 --> 00:32:25,039
anodized

651
00:32:29,909 --> 00:32:28,159
paint and then they etched in laser

652
00:32:31,430 --> 00:32:29,919
the name perseverance and you'll see

653
00:32:33,509 --> 00:32:31,440
that in the video

654
00:32:35,750 --> 00:32:33,519
now i love the name perseverance for the

655
00:32:37,350 --> 00:32:35,760
rover it's awesome for the rover this

656
00:32:38,310 --> 00:32:37,360
rover is going to have challenges those

657
00:32:40,070 --> 00:32:38,320
of us who've

658
00:32:41,750 --> 00:32:40,080
taken rovers to mars before know that

659
00:32:41,990 --> 00:32:41,760
mars always throws different things at

660
00:32:45,990 --> 00:32:42,000
you

661
00:32:48,230 --> 00:32:46,000
persists and perseveres

662
00:32:50,470 --> 00:32:48,240
and so one of the things i also really

663
00:32:53,190 --> 00:32:50,480
like about this name though

664
00:32:54,230 --> 00:32:53,200
is that perseverance is a characteristic

665
00:32:56,950 --> 00:32:54,240
of the team

666
00:32:58,149 --> 00:32:56,960
behind the rover all of you people in

667
00:33:00,470 --> 00:32:58,159
this room

668
00:33:03,110 --> 00:33:00,480
all of the people in the overflow room

669
00:33:06,149 --> 00:33:03,120
all of the people across this country

670
00:33:09,430 --> 00:33:06,159
who spent the last nearly decade

671
00:33:12,549 --> 00:33:09,440
getting us to having a rover in florida

672
00:33:14,950 --> 00:33:12,559
right now in 2020.

673
00:33:16,630 --> 00:33:14,960
you guys have persevered and now i need

674
00:33:19,509 --> 00:33:16,640
you to help me with uh

675
00:33:21,029 --> 00:33:19,519
with something so over 3 000 people and

676
00:33:23,350 --> 00:33:21,039
perseverance means

677
00:33:24,389 --> 00:33:23,360
overcoming challenges overcoming

678
00:33:26,789 --> 00:33:24,399
obstacles

679
00:33:28,389 --> 00:33:26,799
and moving forward to get to your

680
00:33:31,750 --> 00:33:28,399
mission success

681
00:33:33,909 --> 00:33:31,760
so over 3 000 people how many problems

682
00:33:35,190 --> 00:33:33,919
and challenges have you guys had to

683
00:33:37,669 --> 00:33:35,200
overcome

684
00:33:38,470 --> 00:33:37,679
in the last decade to get us to where we

685
00:33:40,389 --> 00:33:38,480
are today

686
00:33:42,789 --> 00:33:40,399
numbers i need numbers like it i know

687
00:33:45,750 --> 00:33:42,799
it's more than a hundred thousand

688
00:33:49,190 --> 00:33:45,760
a million i hear a million any other

689
00:33:52,230 --> 00:33:49,200
numbers anybody want to hold okay so

690
00:33:54,789 --> 00:33:52,240
something squared e okay

691
00:33:56,870 --> 00:33:54,799
thank you i knew that jpl would offer me

692
00:34:00,310 --> 00:33:56,880
something like that okay so

693
00:34:03,590 --> 00:34:00,320
we have overcome you have overcome so

694
00:34:04,870 --> 00:34:03,600
many challenges this team has so much

perseverance

696
00:34:08,869 --> 00:34:06,559
and we will continue to have

697
00:34:11,109 --> 00:34:08,879
perseverance so in honor of you guys

698
00:34:12,069 --> 00:34:11,119
there's a video here that tells a little

699
00:34:15,190 --> 00:34:12,079
bit about

700
00:34:16,629 --> 00:34:15,200
some more folks on the team

701
00:34:18,470 --> 00:34:16,639
when you go to another planet there's

702
00:34:19,349 --> 00:34:18,480
just so much potential for making brand

703
00:34:20,950 --> 00:34:19,359
new discoveries

704
00:34:23,030 --> 00:34:20,960
i'm actually putting something together

705
00:34:23,669 --> 00:34:23,040
that's flying to mars one way or another

706
00:34:25,109 --> 00:34:23,679
you're going to be

707
00:34:27,030 --> 00:34:25,119
on the ground in seven minutes we want

708
00:34:28,470 --> 00:34:27,040
it to be there safely

709
00:34:29,909 --> 00:34:28,480
my name is heather bottom and i'm

710
00:34:30,310 --> 00:34:29,919
helping prepare the spacecraft that will

711
00:34:31,990 --> 00:34:30,320
fly

712
00:34:33,750 --> 00:34:32,000
our next mars rover to the martian

713
00:34:35,270 --> 00:34:33,760
surface my name is diana trujillo and i

714
00:34:37,270 --> 00:34:35,280
work with robotic arms to collect

715
00:34:38,950 --> 00:34:37,280
samples on mars i'm al chen and i lead

716
00:34:40,470 --> 00:34:38,960
the landing team for march 2020.

717
00:34:41,750 --> 00:34:40,480
my name is michelle tommy colizzi my

718
00:34:42,550 --> 00:34:41,760
name is muji gay stricker my name is

719
00:34:44,149 --> 00:34:42,560
jerry kagdar

720
00:34:46,790 --> 00:34:44,159
my name is katie stackmorgan and i'm

721
00:34:48,790 --> 00:34:46,800
helping to protect the next mars rover

722
00:34:50,550 --> 00:34:48,800
mars 2020 will be seeking signs of

723
00:34:52,069 --> 00:34:50,560
ancient life in the rock record of mars

724
00:34:53,349 --> 00:34:52,079
what we're trying to do is to drove

725
00:34:56,069 --> 00:34:53,359
around the surface of this

726
00:34:57,270 --> 00:34:56,079
unknown planet collect samples process

727
00:34:58,310 --> 00:34:57,280
the tubes as they come back

728
00:35:00,630 --> 00:34:58,320
to look for things that we call

729
00:35:01,589 --> 00:35:00,640
biosignatures so that eventually we can

730
00:35:03,270 --> 00:35:01,599
bring those samples

731
00:35:05,829 --> 00:35:03,280
back to earth and determine for the very

732
00:35:07,829 --> 00:35:05,839
first time did life exist on mars

733
00:35:09,750 --> 00:35:07,839
but also where could it be preserved for

734
00:35:09,990 --> 00:35:09,760
four more billion years for us to find

735
00:35:11,589 --> 00:35:10,000
it

736
00:35:12,710 --> 00:35:11,599
before the rover actually flies you have

737
00:35:14,470 --> 00:35:12,720
to make sure that everything works

738
00:35:16,069 --> 00:35:14,480
properly with the flight software

739
00:35:18,150 --> 00:35:16,079
and the hardware we hit the atmosphere

740
00:35:19,990 --> 00:35:18,160
going you know 12 13 000 miles per hour

741
00:35:21,510 --> 00:35:20,000
after the journey through space through

742
00:35:23,750 --> 00:35:21,520
the vacuum we

743
00:35:25,190 --> 00:35:23,760
try to test all of our hardware to the

744
00:35:26,550 --> 00:35:25,200
environments that we would see

745
00:35:28,870 --> 00:35:26,560
so that's why a lot of the testing

746
00:35:29,589 --> 00:35:28,880
happens behind me we spend lots and lots

747
00:35:31,430 --> 00:35:29,599
of hours here

748
00:35:33,589 --> 00:35:31,440
testing everything it gets put in an

749
00:35:35,829 --> 00:35:33,599
oven it gets put in various chambers and

750
00:35:38,630 --> 00:35:35,839
clean rooms so what we can see over here

751
00:35:40,230 --> 00:35:38,640
is the stacked spacecraft the robotic

752
00:35:41,510 --> 00:35:40,240
arm is actually right behind me

753
00:35:43,190 --> 00:35:41,520
this is the place where the magic

754
00:35:44,710 --> 00:35:43,200
happens this is the mars yard and this

755
00:35:45,829 --> 00:35:44,720
is where our rovers practice driving

756
00:35:47,510 --> 00:35:45,839
over rocky terrain

757
00:35:49,589 --> 00:35:47,520
there are hundreds of people that have

758
00:35:50,630 --> 00:35:49,599
to come together and build a spacecraft

759
00:35:52,230 --> 00:35:50,640
you kind of have to put those different

760
00:35:52,950 --> 00:35:52,240
pieces together and make sure that those

761
00:35:55,349 --> 00:35:52,960
pieces all

762
00:35:57,510 --> 00:35:55,359
are going to work and i feel like such a

763
00:35:59,109 --> 00:35:57,520
lucky person to be working on this

764
00:36:00,470 --> 00:35:59,119
everything that you're touching and all

765
00:36:01,430 --> 00:36:00,480
this hard work that you're putting in

766
00:36:03,030 --> 00:36:01,440
the long hours

767
00:36:10,829 --> 00:36:03,040
20 years your children will be reading

768
00:36:24,550 --> 00:36:20,630
great

769
00:36:25,990 --> 00:36:24,560
surprise we weren't sure

770
00:36:28,870 --> 00:36:26,000
we were going to be able to do this

771
00:36:31,430 --> 00:36:28,880
today but because of the hard work

772
00:36:32,710 --> 00:36:31,440
of our team members our jpl team members

773
00:36:34,470 --> 00:36:32,720
in florida

774
00:36:36,230 --> 00:36:34,480
we have a picture we'd like to share

775
00:36:37,589 --> 00:36:36,240
with you not only has the rover name

776
00:36:40,310 --> 00:36:37,599
been selected

777
00:36:54,150 --> 00:36:40,320
but it has been placed on the flight

778
00:36:56,950 --> 00:36:54,160
rover robotic arms

779
00:36:57,589 --> 00:36:56,960
another close-up image there's our

780
00:37:00,470 --> 00:36:57,599
close-up

781
00:37:02,150 --> 00:37:00,480
image and as you guys all know when we

782
00:37:04,310 --> 00:37:02,160
stow the robotic arm

783
00:37:05,349 --> 00:37:04,320
what we look at with our cameras is

784
00:37:07,670 --> 00:37:05,359
perseverance

785
00:37:09,109 --> 00:37:07,680
so we will never forget as we're driving

786
00:37:10,630 --> 00:37:09,119
around mars now

787
00:37:12,230 --> 00:37:10,640
getting the name plate on the rover

788
00:37:14,069 --> 00:37:12,240
isn't the last thing we have to do

789
00:37:15,109 --> 00:37:14,079
before launch but it's one of the last

790
00:37:16,470 --> 00:37:15,119
things

791
00:37:18,069 --> 00:37:16,480
i don't know you guys know a few more

792
00:37:18,950 --> 00:37:18,079

row

794
00:37:23,990 --> 00:37:22,320
ray says two okay two things all right

00:37:27,910 --> 00:37:26,079
finishing out the functional testing

797
00:37:29,510 --> 00:37:27,920
we want to test everything make sure it

798
00:37:32,630 --> 00:37:29,520
works before we send it off

799
00:37:33,510 --> 00:37:32,640
to mars then we'll start to stow we'll

800
00:37:35,670 --> 00:37:33,520
start to

801
00:37:37,670 --> 00:37:35,680
stow the rover we'll put it inside the

802
00:37:39,030 --> 00:37:37,680
descent stage we'll encapsulate it

803
00:37:40,950 --> 00:37:39,040
inside of the back shell on the heat

804
00:37:42,710 --> 00:37:40,960
shield add the cruise stage it will be

805
00:37:43,750 --> 00:37:42,720
fully stacked we'll put it on the atlas

806
00:37:46,470 --> 00:37:43,760
launch vehicle

807
00:37:47,430 --> 00:37:46,480
