lunar roving robot and discussing space

00:00:11,830 --> 00:00:10,000
policy and priorities a few of the

5
00:00:14,629 --> 00:00:11,840
stories to tell you about this week at

6
00:00:18,630 --> 00:00:16,870
on december 2nd nasa astronauts tom

7
00:00:20,470 --> 00:00:18,640
marshburn and kayla baron ventured

8
00:00:22,550 --> 00:00:20,480
outside the international space station

9
00:00:25,429 --> 00:00:22,560
for a spacewalk to replace a faulty

10
00:00:27,509 --> 00:00:25,439
antenna system the antenna recently lost

11
00:00:29,830 --> 00:00:27,519
its ability to send signals to earth via

12
00:00:32,150 --> 00:00:29,840
nasa's tracking and data relay satellite

13
00:00:34,150 --> 00:00:32,160
system although the antenna's condition

14
00:00:36,630 --> 00:00:34,160
has had limited impact on station

15
00:00:38,790 --> 00:00:36,640
operations mission managers decided to

16
00:00:41,270 --> 00:00:38,800
swap it out with a new antenna to ensure

17
00:00:42,950 --> 00:00:41,280
communications redundancy nasa's

18
00:00:45,350 --> 00:00:42,960
volatiles investigating polar

19
00:00:47,590 --> 00:00:45,360
exploration rover or viper went through

20
00:00:49,270 --> 00:00:47,600
a second round of egress testing at our

21
00:00:51,510 --> 00:00:49,280
johnson space center

22
00:00:54,389 --> 00:00:51,520
similar to a car after a cross-country

23
00:00:56,229 --> 00:00:54,399
trip on an auto transport viper's egress

24
00:00:58,549 --> 00:00:56,239
is the process of the rover making its

25
00:01:00,869 --> 00:00:58,559
way out of the lunar lander and down

26
00:01:02,869 --> 00:01:00,879
onto the surface of the moon albeit

27
00:01:04,070 --> 00:01:02,879
after a much longer journey from earth

28
00:01:06,310 --> 00:01:04,080
to the moon

29
00:01:08,469 --> 00:01:06,320
viper is the agency's first lunar mobile

30
00:01:11,350 --> 00:01:08,479
robot and is scheduled to be delivered

31
00:01:13,109 --> 00:01:11,360
to the moon in late 2023 as part of our

32
00:01:15,590 --> 00:01:13,119
commercial lunar payload services

33
00:01:17,510 --> 00:01:15,600
initiative on december 1st the first

34
00:01:19,590 --> 00:01:17,520
national space council meeting under the

35
00:01:22,469 --> 00:01:19,600
biden harris administration was held at

36
00:01:24,390 --> 00:01:22,479
the u.s institute of peace in washington

37
00:01:26,789 --> 00:01:24,400
in her remarks vice president and

38
00:01:28,950 --> 00:01:26,799
council chair kamala harris touched on

39
00:01:31,590 --> 00:01:28,960
several topics including the need for

40
00:01:33,910 --> 00:01:31,600
global cooperation to help make space

41
00:01:37,109 --> 00:01:33,920
exploration as safe as possible

42
00:01:39,429 --> 00:01:37,119
as activity in space grows

43
00:01:41,830 --> 00:01:39,439
we must reaffirm

44
00:01:43,429 --> 00:01:41,840
yes the rights

45
00:01:46,950 --> 00:01:43,439
of all nations

46
00:01:48,270 --> 00:01:46,960
and we must demand responsibility

47
00:01:52,469 --> 00:01:48,280
from all

48
00:01:59,429 --> 00:01:55,030
we must establish and expand

49
00:02:01,429 --> 00:01:59,439
rules and norms on safety and security

50
00:02:04,230 --> 00:02:01,439
on transparency

51
00:02:06,550 --> 00:02:04,240
and cooperation the event also featured

nasa administrator bill nelson who spoke

53
00:02:11,910 --> 00:02:09,200
about how nasa helps to inspire students

54
00:02:13,990 --> 00:02:11,920
to pursue educations and careers within

55
00:02:17,030 --> 00:02:14,000
a science technology engineering and

56

administrator pam melroy visited our

59
00:02:25,910 --> 00:02:23,120
marshall space flight center on november

60
00:02:28,390 --> 00:02:25,920
29th and 30th for a first-hand look at

61
00:02:30,550 --> 00:02:28,400
the center's vital work to advance the

62
00:02:32,070 --> 00:02:30,560
deep space exploration endeavors of our

63
00:02:34,070 --> 00:02:32,080
artemis program

64
00:02:35,910 --> 00:02:34,080
marshall manages the agency's space

65
00:02:38,150 --> 00:02:35,920
launch system rocket which will power

66
00:02:40,630 --> 00:02:38,160
the next generation of exploration under

67
00:02:42,949 --> 00:02:40,640
artemis including uncrewed and crude

68
00:02:45,110 --> 00:02:42,959
flight tests around the moon that will

69
00:02:47,270 --> 00:02:45,120
pave the way for more complex missions

70
00:02:49,430 --> 00:02:47,280
to send astronauts to the moon in

71
00:02:50,790 --> 00:02:49,440
preparation for eventual human missions

72
00:02:53,030 --> 00:02:50,800
to mars

73
00:02:55,110 --> 00:02:53,040
nasa is accepting applications for new

74
00:02:57,110 --> 00:02:55,120
flight directors to lead highly trained

75
00:02:59,350 --> 00:02:57,120
teams during human space flight missions

76
00:03:01,670 --> 00:02:59,360
to the international space station and

77
00:03:03,589 --> 00:03:01,680
upcoming artemis missions to the moon

78
00:03:07,110 --> 00:03:03,599
and eventually the first human missions

79
00:03:11,030 --> 00:03:07,120
to mars qualified u.s citizens can apply
