00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,106
WHY ARE WE SENDING SLIME MOLDS

2
00:00:03,106 --> 00:00:04,562
REGOLITH SIMULANT

3
00:00:04,562 --> 00:00:06,122
NEW SCIENCE HARDWARE

4
00:00:06,122 --> 00:00:08,921
AND MUSCLE CELLS TO THE SPACE STATION?

5
00:00:08,921 --> 00:00:13,448
THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION 
IS A LAB LIKE NO OTHER.

6
00:00:13,448 --> 00:00:18,359
A NORTHROP GRUMMAN CYGNUS WILL SOON 
DELIVER DOZENS OF NEW EXPERIMENTS.

7
00:00:18,359 --> 00:00:23,888
LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT’S ON BOARD
NORTHROP GRUMMAN’S 16TH CARGO MISSION.

8
00:00:23,888 --> 00:00:25,767
REDWIRE REGOLITH PRINT

9
00:00:25,767 --> 00:00:30,000
SCIENTISTS WILL TEST 3D PRINTING IN SPACE USING
MATERIAL SIMULATING LUNAR AND MARTIAN SOIL.

10
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,520
THIS PROCESS COULD EVENTUALLY BE USED TO
CONSTRUCT HABITATS ON OTHER PLANETS.

11
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,263
CARDINAL MUSCLE

12
00:00:36,263 --> 00:00:40,226
RESEARCHERS WILL TEST THERAPEUTIC DRUGS MEANT TO DIMINISH MUSCLE LOSS

13
00:00:40,226 --> 00:00:44,192
USING MUSCLE CELLS CULTURED IN MICROGRAVITY.

14
00:00:44,192 --> 00:00:46,468
KENTUCKY RE-ENTRY PROBE EXPERIMENT (KREPE)

15
00:00:46,468 --> 00:00:50,034
CAPSULES WILL DEPLOY WHEN CYGNUS RE-ENTERS THE ATMOSPHERE

16
00:00:50,034 --> 00:00:54,464
AND TRANSMIT DATA TO TEST AN AFFORDABLE THERMAL PROTECTION SYSTEM.

17
00:00:54,464 --> 00:00:57,394
FOUR BED CO2 SCRUBBER

18
00:00:57,394 --> 00:01:00,374
THIS STUDY DEMONSTRATES A SPACECRAFT CARBON DIOXIDE REMOVAL TECHNOLOGY.

19
00:01:00,374 --> 00:01:04,450
THE SCRUBBER INCLUDES MECHANICAL UPGRADES AND AN IMPROVED ABSORBANT.

20
00:01:04,450 --> 00:01:06,282
FLOW BOILING AND CONDENSATION EXPERIMENT (FBCE)

21
00:01:06,282 --> 00:01:09,680
A NEW FACILITY WILL ENABLE EXPERIMENTS THAT COULD SUPPORT IMPROVEMENTS

22
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:14,527
TO MANY THERMAL CONTROL SYSTEMS IN MICROGRAVITY.

23
00:01:14,527 --> 00:01:15,681
BLOB

24
00:01:15,681 --> 00:01:20,976
FRENCH STUDENTS WILL REPLICATE STUDIES CONDUCTED IN ORBIT TO SEE HOW SLIME MOLDS’ BEHAVIOR IS AFFECTED BY MICROGRAVITY.

25
00:01:20,976 --> 00:01:25,009
THE STUDENTS WILL COMPARE THE MOLD SPEED, SHAPE, AND GROWTH.
