1 00:00:04,550 --> 00:00:02,710 the launch of our first planetary 2 00:00:06,550 --> 00:00:04,560 defense test mission a new docking 3 00:00:08,629 --> 00:00:06,560 module for the space station and 4 00:00:10,870 --> 00:00:08,639 shielding the orion spacecraft from the 5 00:00:12,789 --> 00:00:10,880 heat a few of the stories to tell you 6 00:00:15,110 --> 00:00:12,799 about this week at nasa 7 00:00:17,510 --> 00:00:15,120 nasa's double asteroid redirection test 8 00:00:19,990 --> 00:00:17,520 or dart mission launched november 24th 9 00:00:22,230 --> 00:00:20,000 eastern standard time on a spacex falcon 10 00:00:23,670 --> 00:00:22,240 9 rocket from california's vandenberg 11 00:00:25,750 --> 00:00:23,680 space force base 12 00:00:28,470 --> 00:00:25,760 the mission will crash a spacecraft into 13 00:00:30,710 --> 00:00:28,480 an asteroid on purpose to see if it is a 14 00:00:32,630 --> 00:00:30,720 viable way to change the trajectory of 15 00:00:34,630 --> 00:00:32,640 an asteroid that might be on a collision 16 00:00:37,430 --> 00:00:34,640 course with earth in the future 17 00:00:39,830 --> 00:00:37,440 in fall 2022 the dart spacecraft will 18 00:00:42,630 --> 00:00:39,840 impact a small moonlit asteroid within 19 00:00:44,950 --> 00:00:42,640 the ditamas binary asteroid system 20 00:00:46,069 --> 00:00:44,960 dart's target asteroid is not a threat 21 00:00:48,150 --> 00:00:46,079 to earth 22 00:00:49,830 --> 00:00:48,160 in an online video they shot while on 23 00:00:51,830 --> 00:00:49,840 board the international space station 24 00:00:54,869 --> 00:00:51,840 nasa astronaut shane kimbrough and 25 00:00:56,950 --> 00:00:54,879 european space agency astronaut thomas k 26 00:00:59,270 --> 00:00:56,960 used what looks like a microgravity 27 00:01:01,270 --> 00:00:59,280 pillow fight to demonstrate the kinetic 28 00:01:03,590 --> 00:01:01,280 impactor technique the dart mission will 29 00:01:05,910 --> 00:01:03,600 use to deflect an asteroid 30 00:01:07,510 --> 00:01:05,920 shane is going to be the asteroid 31 00:01:09,830 --> 00:01:07,520 and i'm going to be the nasa dart 32 00:01:13,990 --> 00:01:09,840 mission you ready 33 00:01:17,510 --> 00:01:15,590 you can check out the full video at 34 00:01:19,190 --> 00:01:17,520 go.nasa.gov 35 00:01:21,590 --> 00:01:19,200 dart on station 36 00:01:23,109 --> 00:01:21,600 the 5-ton pre-show docking module was 37 00:01:25,910 --> 00:01:23,119 launched to the space station from 38 00:01:28,070 --> 00:01:25,920 kazakhstan on november 24th it was 39 00:01:30,550 --> 00:01:28,080 delivered by a progress spacecraft two 40 00:01:33,030 --> 00:01:30,560 days later pre-shall the russian word 41 00:01:35,109 --> 00:01:33,040 for port or birth has five available 42 00:01:36,710 --> 00:01:35,119 docking ports to accommodate multiple 43 00:01:38,630 --> 00:01:36,720 russian spacecraft 44 00:01:40,630 --> 00:01:38,640 on november 9th our super guppy 45 00:01:42,950 --> 00:01:40,640 transport aircraft landed at moffett 46 00:01:45,030 --> 00:01:42,960 federal airfield near our ames research 47 00:01:47,350 --> 00:01:45,040 center in northern california with the 48 00:01:49,749 --> 00:01:47,360 orion spacecraft's heat shield skin for 49 00:01:51,749 --> 00:01:49,759 our artemis 4 mission the heat shield 50 00:01:53,429 --> 00:01:51,759 skin will undergo heat and pressure 51 00:01:55,670 --> 00:01:53,439 treatment in california to give it the 52 00:01:58,230 --> 00:01:55,680 mechanical strength properties needed 53 00:02:00,469 --> 00:01:58,240 for orion's thermal protection system 54 00:02:02,550 --> 00:02:00,479 the heat shield will protect orion and 55 00:02:04,709 --> 00:02:02,560 astronauts inside the spacecraft from 56 00:02:06,789 --> 00:02:04,719 the intense heat generated on the return 57 00:02:09,190 --> 00:02:06,799 trip through earth's atmosphere near the 58 00:02:11,190 --> 00:02:09,200 end of the mission in their thanksgiving 59 00:02:13,589 --> 00:02:11,200 day message members of the international 60 00:02:15,430 --> 00:02:13,599 space station's expedition 66 crew 61 00:02:18,550 --> 00:02:15,440 talked about what the holiday means for 62 00:02:21,190 --> 00:02:18,560 them for us it's the food is a big part 63 00:02:23,270 --> 00:02:21,200 of it both being thankful for the fact 64 00:02:25,110 -->
