1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,937
Moving ahead with
space station power upgrades.

2
00:00:03,937 --> 00:00:07,841
Some VIPs hear about some
very important missions.

3
00:00:07,841 --> 00:00:11,177
And new eye-popping views of Earth
from space …

4
00:00:11,177 --> 00:00:14,614
A few of the stories to tell you about, 
This Week at NASA!

5
00:00:15,415 --> 00:00:20,787
On April 28, NASA astronaut Steve Bowen
and United Arab Emirates astronaut

6
00:00:20,787 --> 00:00:25,191
Sultan Alneyadi did work outside
the International Space Station

7
00:00:25,191 --> 00:00:28,628
to prepare for the installation of more
new solar arrays

8
00:00:28,628 --> 00:00:31,264
to augment the station’s power system.

9
00:00:31,264 --> 00:00:34,367
Four of the upgraded arrays have
been installed already.

10
00:00:34,367 --> 00:00:38,304
The remaining two will be installed
on a future spacewalk.

11
00:00:39,239 --> 00:00:45,545
On April 25, Vice President Kamala Harris,
Republic of Korea President Yoon Suk Yeol,

12
00:00:45,545 --> 00:00:51,418
NASA Deputy Administrator Pam Melroy,
and others visited our
Goddard Space Flight Center.

13
00:00:51,418 --> 00:00:56,056
They were briefed on our space exploration
efforts, as well as missions addressing

14
00:00:56,056 --> 00:01:00,994
climate change, like TEMPO, 
which is similar to Korea’s GEMS.

15
00:01:00,994 --> 00:01:06,099
Both missions are revolutionizing
the way we observe air quality from space.

16
00:01:06,866 --> 00:01:11,704
These recently released views of Earth in
ultra-high definition, or 4K,

17
00:01:11,704 --> 00:01:16,376
might just be the next best thing
for those of us who may
never make it to space.

18
00:01:16,376 --> 00:01:22,048
The imagery was captured from the space
station between March 2022 and March 2023.

19
00:01:22,048 --> 00:01:27,554
Check it out for yourself
at go.nasa.gov/earth4k.

20
00:01:28,354 --> 00:01:33,159
For the first time since 2019, there 
was in-person competition at our

21
00:01:33,159 --> 00:01:35,795
Human Exploration Rover Challenge.

22
00:01:35,795 --> 00:01:39,766
The event was an opportunity for
student-built, human-powered rovers

23
00:01:39,766 --> 00:01:47,273
to be tested on a course that simulates
the terrain of the Moon, Mars,
and other distant bodies.
