1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,400 New crew safely aboard the space station… A launch update on another space\h\h 2 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:06,480 station mission … And an international\h\h 3 00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:10,800 agreement on Artemis … a few of the stories\h to tell you about – This Week at NASA! \h 4 00:00:13,120 --> 00:00:16,640 NASA’s Kate Rubins is safely aboard\h the International Space Station.\h\h 5 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:22,640 She and Expedition 64 crewmates Sergey Ryzhikov,\h and Sergey Kud-Sverchkov, both of Roscosmos,\h\h 6 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:27,440 were greeted by our Chris Cassidy and others\h aboard the orbital outpost on Oct. 14,\h\h 7 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:31,040 just hours after launching from the\h Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. \h 8 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:37,520 NASA’s SpaceX Crew-1 mission to the International\h Space Station is now targeted for no sooner than\h\h 9 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:42,880 early-to-mid November. This will give SpaceX\h more time to evaluate some issues observed\h\h 10 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:47,360 during a recent non-NASA launch of its\h Falcon 9 rocket. The mission will be the\h\h 11 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:52,080 first commercial crew rotational flight to the\h station with the SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft. \h 12 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:58,880 During a virtual meeting of the International\h Astronautical Congress on Oct.13, NASA and 7\h\h 13 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:03,840 partner countries signed the Artemis Accords\h agreement for international participation in\h\h 14 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:09,680 our Artemis program, which includes sending the\h first woman and next man to the Moon in 2024. \h 15 00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:14,560 “The principles described in the\h Artemis Accords are what will create\h\h 16 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,560 a bright and prosperous future\h that we all want for ourselves\h\h 17 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:24,160 and for generations to come. These principles\h are grounded in the Outer Space Treaty.” \h 18 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:30,480 The founding members of the Artemis Accords are\h Australia, Canada, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg,\h\h 19 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,840 the United Arab Emirates, the\h United Kingdom, and the U.S. \h 20 00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:40,240 The OSIRIS-REx team’s first Touch-And-Go (TAG)\h sample collection attempt with asteroid Bennu\h\h 21 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:45,680 is targeted for Oct. 20. O-REx is attempting\h to be the first-ever NASA spacecraft\h\h 22 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,200 to collect a sample of an asteroid\h and send it back to Earth for study. \h 23 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:56,400 On Oct. 14, NASA announced the latest partnerships\h with space tech companies through a “Tipping\h\h 24 00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:01,200 Point” solicitation to develop commercial\h space capabilities, and to benefit future\h\h 25 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:07,120 NASA missions. The agency also provided an update\h on space tech efforts to enable human and robotic\h\h 26 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:12,560 exploration on the Moon and future operations\h on Mars. Learn more at nasa.gov/moontomars. \h 27 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:19,600 A NASA-developed sensor suite that could help\h robotic and crewed missions make precise,\h\h 28 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:25,280 soft landings on the Moon was launched aboard a\h Blue Origin New Shepard suborbital rocket on Oct.\h\h 29 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:30,560 13. The rocket's flight path provided a unique\h opportunity to further develop the sensors and\h\h 30 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:35,920 algorithms for potential use on Artemis missions. That’s what’s up this week @NASA … \h
