1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,470
Some news about our 
Moon to Mars Architecture.

2
00:00:03,470 --> 00:00:07,207
Chalk up another one for 
our frequent flyer on Mars.

3
00:00:07,207 --> 00:00:11,111
And yes, this spacecraft “scan” 
find things in the sky.

4
00:00:11,111 --> 00:00:14,447
A few of the stories to tell you about,
This Week at NASA!

5
00:00:15,248 --> 00:00:19,986
NASA released results of the agency’s 
first Architecture Concept Review,

6
00:00:19,986 --> 00:00:24,924
an analysis process to align our 
Moon to Mars exploration strategy

7
00:00:24,924 --> 00:00:27,827
and codify the supporting architecture.

8
00:00:27,827 --> 00:00:32,365
The architecture defines the rockets, 
spacecraft, spacesuits, operations,

9
00:00:32,365 --> 00:00:37,303
and other elements needed to support human
missions to the Moon and Mars.

11
00:00:42,542 --> 00:00:47,614
April 19 marked the two-year anniversary
of our Ingenuity helicopter’s

12
00:00:47,614 --> 00:00:49,482
first flight on Mars.

13
00:00:49,482 --> 00:00:53,586
To date, it has completed 50 flights on
the Red Planet, and reached

14
00:00:53,586 --> 00:00:56,589
a new altitude record of 59 feet.

15
00:00:56,589 --> 00:01:01,061
Ingenuity, a technology demonstration
designed to prove powered, controlled

16
00:01:01,061 --> 00:01:03,563
flight on another planet was possible,

17
00:01:03,563 --> 00:01:06,699
was expected to make
no more than five flights.

18
00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:12,739
On April 18, our Transiting Exoplanet
Survey Satellite, or TESS,

19
00:01:12,739 --> 00:01:15,241
celebrated five years in space.

20
00:01:15,241 --> 00:01:20,213
In that time, TESS has mapped more than 
93% of the entire sky,

21
00:01:20,213 --> 00:01:25,485
discovered 329 new planets, and provided 
new insights into an array of

22
00:01:25,485 --> 00:01:30,190
cosmic phenomena, from stellar pulsations
and exploding stars

23
00:01:30,190 --> 00:01:32,592
to supermassive black holes.

24
00:01:33,460 --> 00:01:38,364
On April 20 and 21, we hosted free Earth
Day events at Union Station

25
00:01:38,364 --> 00:01:43,203
in Washington, D.C., with hands-on 
activities to illustrate the many ways

26
00:01:43,203 --> 00:01:45,505
NASA does Earth science.

27
00:01:45,505 --> 00:01:49,676
We also hosted a virtual Earth Day
celebration with interactive online

28
00:01:49,676 --> 00:01:54,147
content and resources, including
some available in Spanish.

29
00:01:54,147 --> 00:02:01,754
