00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,440
A commercial mission returning\h
cargo from the space station …
 \h

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:08,560
The first space station spacewalk of the year …
And observing a massive volcanic eruption\h\h

3
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:12,320
from space … a few of the stories to\h
tell you about – This Week at NASA!
 \h

4
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:19,440
A SpaceX Dragon cargo resupply spacecraft is\h
slated to return to Earth from the International\h\h

5
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:25,200
Space Station loaded with more than 4,900\h
pounds of cargo, including supplies and an\h\h

6
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:31,680
array of microgravity scientific experiments.\h
The Dragon’s return will cap off SpaceX’s 24th\h\h

7
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:38,320
Commercial Resupply Services mission for NASA.
On Jan. 19 two Russian cosmonauts ventured outside\h\h

8
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:42,320
the International Space Station to conduct\h
the station’s first spacewalk of the year.\h\h

9
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:49,040
During the outing, Anton Shkaplerov and Pyotr\h
Dubrov of Roscosmos performed work to prepare\h\h

10
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:55,360
the new Prichal docking module for future Russian\h
visiting spacecraft. The first docking to Prichal\h\h

11
00:00:55,360 --> 00:01:00,640
is targeted for March, with the arrival of\h
three cosmonauts aboard a Soyuz spacecraft.
 \h

12
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:06,720
Several Earth-observing satellites are helping\h
scientists affiliated with NASA’s Disasters\h\h

13
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:12,800
programcollect and share data from the massive\h
volcanic eruption that obliterated the small,\h\h

14
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:19,120
uninhabited South Pacific island known as Hunga\h
Tonga-Hunga Ha‘apai. Damage assessments are\h\h

15
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:24,400
ongoing, but preliminary reports indicate that\h
populated communities in the island nation of\h\h

16
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:30,400
Tonga have taken heavy damage from volcanic\h
ash and a tsunami caused by the eruption.
 \h

17
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:36,240
Engineers at our Stennis Space Center conducted\h
the first RS-25 engine hot fire test of the\h\h

18
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:44,000
new year on Jan. 19. Four RS-25s will help\h
power our Space Launch System or (SLS) rocket\h\h

19
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:49,520
on future deep-space missions, including this\h
year’s uncrewed Artemis I mission around the Moon.\h\h

20
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:54,960
This was the second overall test in the current\h
test series which began in mid-December.\h\h

21
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:59,200
Each test provides valuable data that\h
can be used to help develop the engines.
 \h

22
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:05,280
The team assembling our X-59 Quiet SuperSonic\h
Technology (QueSST) aircraft is making great\h\h

23
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:10,320
progress with the developmental X-plane.\h
The crew successfully added the tail,\h\h

24
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:14,800
attached and tested out the positioning of\h
the nose, performed a system check of the\h\h

25
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:21,280
ejection seat, and moved the X-59’s\h
GE F414 engine to facilitate a 3D\h\h

26
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:28,000
engine scan. This scan helps engineers better\h
understand the F414’s fit in the engine bay.\h\h

27
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:33,520
The X-59 is being built to conduct research\h
aimed at reducing the loudness of sonic booms\h\h

28
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:39,120
that can occur during supersonic flight.
That’s what’s up this week @NASA … For more\h\h
