the red planet the systems she worked on

38
00:01:36,069 --> 00:01:33,200
make sure the rover knows the direction

39
00:01:37,910 --> 00:01:36,079
it's pointed and updates that position

40
00:01:40,469 --> 00:01:37,920
for teams back on earth

41
00:01:43,429 --> 00:01:40,479

with the replica of the rover

44
00:01:52,230 --> 00:01:49,119
not only do we study other worlds we

45
00:01:55,109 --> 00:01:52,240
also study earth our very own planet

46
00:01:57,670 --> 00:01:55,119
from space the landsat program maps

47
00:02:00,709 --> 00:01:57,680

exoplanets these are planets that orbit

98
00:04:07,429 --> 00:04:04,640
around other stars using several nasa

99
00:04:10,309 --> 00:04:07,439
observatories she was able to study a

100
00:04:11,910 --> 00:04:10,319
puffy exoplanet with low density similar

101
00:04:14,550 --> 00:04:11,920
to styrofoam

102
00:04:17,909 --> 00:04:14,560
nicole's work is expanding what we know

103
00:04:23,430 --> 00:04:21,030
at nasa women innovate break barriers

104
00:04:25,430 --> 00:04:23,440
and explore the unknown

105
00:04:28,629 --> 00:04:25,440
the list of their accomplishments is

106
00:04:31,189 --> 00:04:28,639
being built upon every single day

107
00:04:33,749 --> 00:04:31,199
this march take a moment to recognize

108
00:04:36,390 --> 00:04:33,759
the contributions of women in the world

109
00:04:44,780 --> 00:04:36,400
around us and together we celebrate
