LIVE FROM THE CENTRAL COAST OF
CALIFORNIA.
THIS IS LAUNCH COVERAGE OF SWOT.
>> YOU ARE LOOKING AT LAUNCH
COMPLEX A AT VANDENBERG.
WE ARE 45 MINUTES AWAY FROM
LIFTOFF OF THE FALCON 9 ROCKET
FOR THE MISSION ALSO KNOWN AS
SWOT.
IT US THE FIRST SATELLITE
MISSION TO SURVEY NEARLY ALL
WATER ON THE EARTH'S SURFACE.
IT WILL HELP REACCEPTERS ADDRESS
SOME OF THE MOST CLIMATE CHANGE
QUESTIONS OF OUR TIME.
HELLO.
AND WELCOME.
I A WITH NASA COMMUNICATIONS, I
AM JOIN BY NADIA.
WELCOME, NADIA.
>> GOOD MORNING RAQUEL.
NOW SHE IS DIRECTOR OF THE OCEAN
FIS EKES PROGRAM AT MASSAS
SCIENCE MISSION DIR ACTOR ATE IN
THE EARTH'S SCIENCE DIVISION.
NADIA AS A MISSION SCIENTISTS
WHAT DO YOU FEEL MOST EXCITED
ABOUT ON THIS VERY EARLY MORNING
WELL, RAQUEL, WE ARE LAUNCHING
SWOT.
THE NEXT MISSION TO TRACK WATER
ON THE EARTH'S SURFACE.
IT HAS BEEN A LONG JOURNEY, 20
YEARS TO TAKE US TO THE
LAUNCHPAD ONE DAY.
TODAY DREAMS ARE COME ARE COMING
TRUE P. YA IS IT IMPORTANT TO
TRACK?
>> WATER IS LIFE.
EIGHT BILLION PEOPLE LIVE ON
THIS PLANET.
WE ALL DEPEND ON THE WATER TO
SURVIVE AND PROSPER.
WE USE WATER TO DRINK, TO GROW
OUR CROPS, WE USE WATER TO
PRODUCE ENERGY AND SUPPORT OUR
ECONOMY.
WATER IS WHAT CONTROLS OUR
CLIMATE.
AND WEATHER.
SO ESSENTIAL I, SWOT WOULD TRACK
ALL OF THIS WATER, FOR THE SAME
REASON THAT FOLLOWS WATER ON
OTHER PLANETS BECAUSE WATER IS
ESSENTIAL TO LIFE, AS WE KNOW
IT.
>> ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL.
I HAVE PLENTY MORE QUESTIONS FOR
YOU COMING UP.
AND WE WILL BE TALKING YOUR
QUESTIONS THOUGHT THE BROADCAST.
ACCEPTED US YOUR QUESTIONS USING
THE HASHTAG TRACKING WORLD WATER
TO LEARN MORE THE SWOT MISSION.
NASA IS CELEBRATING THE
COMPLETION OF ITS HISTORIC
ARTEMIS 1 FLIGHT TEST, THE
LAUNCH FROM KENNEDY SPACE CENTER
LAST MONTH WAS VIEW BY MILLIONS
AROUND THE WORLD.
WHILE IN ORBIT AROUND THE MOON,
THE UNCREWED ORION SPACECRAFT
GAVES THE BREATHTAKING PICTURES.
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING NADYA, TAKE
A LOOK AT THAT DETAIL.
>> SPLASHDOWN FROM TRANQUILITY
BASES TO THE TRANQUIL WATERS OF
THE PAIVIC THE LATEST CHAPTER OF
NASA'S JOURNEY OF THE MOON COMES
TO A CLOSE.
ORION BACK ON EARTH.
>> ON SUNDAY, DECEMBER 11th
AT 9 CRON 40:00 A.M. SPA EFIC
ORION SPLASHED DOWN AFTER 26 IN
DAY MISSION THE ARTEMIS PROGRAM
WILL EXPLORE MORE OF THE MOON
THAN EVER BEFORE AND ESSENTIAL
EVENTUALLY LAN THE FIRSTS A NOS
ONMARS.
VERY EXCITING INDEED.
>> IN FACT ARTEMIS AND CLIMATE
CHANGE ARE TWO PRI OR TESS FOR
THE AGENCY.
YOU KNOW EARTH AND MOON ARE
DIRECTLY CONNECTED AS WELL.
LOOKING HOW CLIMATE CHANGE MIGHT
IMPACT THIS EARTH MOON SYSTEM SO
THERE MAY BE MORE CONNECTION
BETWEEN SWOT AND ARTEMIS, SO
STAY TUNED.
WE'LL STAY TUNE FOR THAT COP
NEXT.
NOW LET'S INTRODUCE YOU TO THE
TEAM COVERING TODAY'S LAUNCH.
HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARE GATHERED
RIGHT NOW AT OUR HAWK NEST
VIEWING AREA.
THAT IS WHERE NASA'S JASMIN
HOPKINS WILL TALK TO OUR EXPERTS
NASA'S MEGAN CRUZ AND DANNY
GIBSON WILL PROVIDE US WITH
COMMENTARY ARE THE MISSION
DIRECTOR CENTER.
MEGAN, NASA LAUNCH SERVICES
PROGRAM SELECTED SPACEX TO SEND
SWOT INTO ORBIT.
>> YES.
FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF HOURS WE
HAVE BEEN LISTENING AS THEY
PREPARE FOR LAUNCH TODAY.
GREAT NEWS BOTH THE VEHICLE AND
THE SPACECRAFT ARE HEALTHY.
THE RANGE IS GREEN.
THE WEATHER IS LOOKING
EXCELLENT.
1-00% GO FOR LAUNCH.
>> YEAH.
ABSOLUTELY.
IT IS NOT ALL THE CASE.
BUT WE HAVE GREAT WEATHER FOR
THIS S.
>> I LOVE HEARING 100%.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME HAVE
HEARD 100% FOR LAUNCH.
THAT EXCITING.
COME MEN TEATING WITH ME TODAY
IS DENTON GIBSON, IS MISSION
MANAGER WITH NASA LAUNCH SERVICE
PROGRAM AND THER FEK PERSON TO
CHAT TODAY.
>> FOR A LONG TIME I WAS FALCON
9 LAUNCH SERVICES PROGRAM AND
STARTED WORKING WITH THE FALCON
9 DURING THE FIRST MISSION WITH
SPACEX, SO THAT WAS MANY YEARS
AGO.
>> MANY YEARS AGO.
BUT A LOT OF EXPERIENCE YOU ADD
TODAY.
THE NEXT BIG STEP FOR LAUNCH
TODAY IS START LOADING PROPEL
INTO THE ROCKET.
A FEW MINUTES AGO, THE NASA TEAM
GIVE A GO.
BUT NOW WE HAVE TO DO A SPACEX
POLL, RIGHT?
>> WITH THE NASA POLL, THE
VARIOUS GROUPS WITHIN NASA
MAKING SURE EVERYBODY IS READY
TO GO.
YOU HEARD THAT POLL, EVERYBODY
IS GOOD TO GO, NOW THE SPACEX
TEAM IS GOING TO CONFIRM WITH
THE NASA TEAM WE ARE READY TO
GO.
OK, PERFECT.
A LIVE LOOK AT LAUNCHPAD 4 EAST
HERE AT RAN DENBERG.
WE MONITOR THE SPACEX WE TOLD
YOU ABOUT AND CHECK BACK IN ONCE
FUELING BEGINS.
BACK TO YOU.
>> THANK YOU.
WE HAVE A FUN WAY TO INTERACT
WITH OUR LAUNCH BROADCAST RIGHT
NOW.
YOU CAN PRINTOUT A SWOT BINGO
CARD.
NAYDA IS HOLDING ONE UP HERE.
IT HAS DIFFERENT WORD ON THE
CARD YOU WILL HEAR WATCHING THIS
SHOW.
TO PRIP ONE, SCAN THIS QR CODE
ON THE SCREEN AND HAVE THE
WEBSITE GO.NASA. GOV.
WHEN YOU HEAR A WORD MARK IT
OFF.
WHEN YOU GET A BINGO, SHARE THE
WIN ON SOCIAL MEDIA WITH THE
HASHTAG TRACKING WORLD WATER.
GOOD WAY TO STAY.
YES, IS PUN.
IT IS FUN TO PLAY WITH KIDS
DURING CHRISTMAS.
>> EXACTLY.
NOW LET'S GO OVER THE SPECKS OF
THE SWOT SATELLITE.
IT WEIGHS MORE THAN 4600 POUNDS
AT LUNCH.
THE SATELLITE IS JUST OVER
16 FEET IN HEIGHT.
IT IS SOLAR PANELS EXTEND TO
MORE THAN 48 FEET IN LENGTH THE
SIZE AFTON NICE COURT AND COVER
OVER 90% OF EARTH'S SURFACE AT
LEAST ONCE EVERY 21 DAYS THEN
SWOT WILL INCREASE THE TRACK OF
LAKES FROM A FEW THOUSAND TO
OVER A MILLION.
THE MISIS SET TO RUN FOR THE
NEXT THREE YEARS.
JPL SHIP.
IT'S THE PAYLOAD TO FRANCE IN
THE SUMMER OF 2021S. FOR MORE
THAN AND YEAR, ENGINEERS WORKED
IN SPACES TO SPER GRIT ANTES THE
SATELLITES AFTER A SERIES OF
FUNCTIONAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL
TESTS IT WITH AS READY TO ARE
THE TRIP FROM THE AIRPORT BACK
TO THE U.S.
IN OCTOBER, UT ARRIVED AT RAN
DENBERG SPACE FORCE BASE WHERE
IT WAS MATED WITH THE FALCON 9.
NOW NAYDA, THIS IS A COMPLEX
INTERNATIONAL PARTNERSHIP.
CAN YOU TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE
CHALLENGES THE TEAM FACED?
>> WELL, WE GELLED VERY WELL
WELL OUR PARTNERS.
SPREADING SIX CONTINENTS.
QUITE A SOCCER TEAM, JUST LIKE A
WORLD CUP.
>> EXACTLY.
NOW YOU ARE ALL HERE TODAY.
>> YES, WE ARE.
SWOT WILL HELP US.
TAKE A LOOK.
>> SO TO ME SWOT IS WATER.
>> SWOT IS RESCISSION.
>> END WIN WORD, I WOULD
DESCRIBE SWOT AS BEAUTIFUL.
>> SWOT STANDS FOR SURFACE,
WATER AND OCEAN TOP GRAPHY.
>> OBSERVING THE WATER SURFACE
IN THE OCEAN, ON THE LAND.
THE WITH AER SUR FASHION HEIGHT
WILL ALLOW USES TO ACCESS WATER
STORAGE.
WATER IS ONE OF THE PRECIOUS
RESOURCES.
>> IT IS UNIQUE BECAUSE IT'S THE
FIRST GLOBAL VIEW OF THE EVER
CHANGING WATER SUPPLY ON EARTH.
SWOT'S MAIN INSTRUMENT SETS
APART SWOT FROM OTHER MISSIONS
IS UNIQUE INSTRUMENT.
>> THE INSTRUMENT USES THE TWO
AND TEN INS WHICH ARE SPREAD OUT
ON EITHER SIDE OF THE SPACECRAFT
TO BOUNCE SIG FELLS OFF OF BOTH
OF THOSE TO GET A MUCH LARGER
VIEW OF THE SURFACE.
BEING ABLE TO DO IT IN HIGH
RESOLUTION HIGHER AC RAT SY
THEN,S, A SIDE WITH SWOT SO TA
WE ARE ABLE TO MEASURE LARGE
TRACKS OVER THE EARTH AND
RELATIVELY SMALL AMOUNT OF TIME.
>> WE ARE ALSO HELPING THE
GLOBAL COMMUNITY TO BE ABLE TO
CON BE THERE BUT AND COLLABORATE
TOWARD MAKING THE HOME PLANET A
BETTER PLANET.
SWOT WILL MAKE OUR MODELS BETTER
AND HELPS US BE ABLE TO HAVE
THAT PRECIOUS RESOURCE.
>> IF WATER IS OUT OF BALANCE,
IT COULD BRING PROBLEMS.
>> NOW WE ARE FACING A TIME THAT
WE NEED TO BE VERY PRECISE.
THEREFORE WE CAN ACCURATELY
PREDICT WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE
COASTAL CITIES 50 YEARS FROM
NOW.
>> IT IS A FINITE SOURCE.
WE CANNOT RELY ON THAT FOREVER.
S SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT.
>> I AM SO EXCITED AND CAN'T
WITH IT TO TO SEE HOW IT IL WILL
IMPACT THE LIVES OF OTHER.
WE KNOW THE MISSIONS WE WORK ON
ARE GOING TO HAVE IMPACT ON OUR
CHILDREN AND OUR GRANDCHILDREN.
NASA HASES A FAMILY OF
SATELLITES IN ORBITING NOW
STUDYING HOW THE WHOLE EARTH
WORKS AS A SYSTEM.
KAREN ST GERMAIN, THANK YOU FOR
JOINING US TODAY.
>> GREAT TO BE HERE.
>> WHAT KIND OF ROLE WILL SWOT
PLAY IN NASA'S NEAT OF EARTH
OBSERVING SATELLITES?
>> WELL, NASA HAS A SUITE OF 25
SATELLITES TODAY.
MISSIONS THAT ARE LOOKING DOWN
AT EARTH AT THE ATMOSHPHERE, AT
THE LAND, THE ICE, AND THE
OCEANS THESE SATELLITES TELL US
HOW THE EARTH WORKS AS A SYSTEM.
SWOT -- WE LIVE ON A WATER PLAN
GET.
SO SWOT WILL GIVES THE FIRST
HIGH-DEFINITION VIEW OF NOT JUST
THE OCEANS, BUT THE INLAND
WATERS AS WELL.
>> EXCITING ADDITION TO THE
FAMILY.
ABSOLUTELY.
NOW, WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM
SPACE TOOLS LIKE SATELLITES THAT
WE CANNOT GATHER HER ON EARTH?
>> WELL, SPACES THE MATE HIGH
GROUND.
IT IS A UNIQUE VANTAGE POINT
FROM WHICH WE CAN SEE THE IN
TIRE EARTH AND THAT IS
ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT WHEN WE ARE
LOOKING AT PARTS OF THE EARTH
THAT ARE REMOTE, DIFFICULT FOR
HUMANS TO GET TO.
I CAN GIVE YOU ONE EXAMPLE.
THE SOUTHERN OCEANS PLAY
INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT ROLE IN OUR
CLIMATE.
THEY HAVE OBSERVED MORE THAN,
WELL, THE OCEANS IN TOTAL HAVE
OBSERVED A QUARTER OF THE CARBON
DIOXIDE THE GREENHOUSE GASES
THAT HAVE BEEN ADMITTED IN THE
INDUSTRIAL AGE.
THE SOUTHERN OCEANS PAUSE THEY
ARE COLD PLAY AN IN CRED PLY
IMPORTANT ROLE, SO FROM THE
UNIQUE VANTAGE POINT OF SPACE,
WE CAN SEE THE EREMOTE AREAS TO
BETTER UNDERSTAND HOW THEY PLAY
TO THE GLOBAL SYSTEM.
HOW DO YOU SEE SWOT BEING A
TRAIL BLAZER OVER THE NEXT
DECADE.
>> THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION.
WE ARE ALREADY HARD AT WORK
BUILDING THE NEXT GENERATION OF
EARTH OBSERVING SAT LIES THESE
WILL ALSO LOOK AT ALL THE
ASPECTS OF THE EARTH'S SYSTEM
BUT JUST AS IMPORTANT AS WHAT WE
ARE DOING IS HOW WE ARE DOING
IT.
WITH OPEN SCIENCE PRINCIPLES TO
DISCOVER.
AND WITH PARTNERS AROUND THE
WORLD, SO SWOT IS IN PAN ANYWAYS
BLAZING THE TRAIL FOR HOW WE
WILL DEVELOP THAT NEXT
GENERATION OF CAPABILITIES TO
ACCELERATE DISCOVERY AND THE USE
OF THE DATA TO INFORM DECISIONS
AROUND THE WORLD.
HOW ARE YOU FEELING ABOUT
TODAY'S LAUNCH?
>> I CANNOT BE MORE EXCITE.
WE HAVE BEEN WAITING THE SWOT
LAUNCH AS THE TEAM HAS GONE
THROUGH THE CHALLENGES THAT YOU
DISCUSSED A FEW MOMENTS AGO, SO
IT THATS ABOUT AND LONG ROAD TO
GET HER AND WE ARE SO EXCITED WE
CANNOT WAIT.
>> VERY EXCITING THANK YOU SO
MUCH, KAREN SHALL FOR JOINING
US.
>> END JO THE LAUNCH.
I'M ALL WITH.
ALL RIGHT.
THANKS.
NOW, IT IS T MY US IN 32 MINUTES
AND COUNTS TO TODAY'S LAWN OF
THE SWOT SATELLITES.
LET'S CHECK IN ON LAUNCH
OPERATIONS.
MEGAN IS LIVE.
MEG AND, PREPARATIONS FOR THIS
LAUNCH BEGAN HOURS AGO, SO WHERE
DO WE STAND RIGHT NOW?
>> YES.
SO NOW LIQUID OXYGEN AND RP1 OR
ROCKET-GRADE KEROSENE ARE GOING
IN TO THE ROCK ACCOUNT'S FIRST
STAGE RIGHT.
ITS UNDERWAY.
EVERYTHING IS GOING SMOOTH SO
FAR.
NO SOMEBODY SHOES TO REPORT.
PERFECT.
IF YOU TAKE A LIVE LOOK AT THE
PAD HERE, A BEAUTIFUL SHOT OF
THE PAYLOAD FARING THERE WITH
SWOT TUCKED SAFELY INSIDE.
YOU KNOW, DENTON, WE TACKED
ABOUT WHY SPACEX FUELING SO
CLOSES TO LAUNCH.
WHY WHEN OTHER LAUNCH PROVIDERS
START HOURS EARLIER IF YEAH.
ONE OF THE MAIN REASONSES SO
THEY ARE VERY, VERY COLD.
THAT WHICH I IT I LOYS THIS YOU
THEM TO FIT MORE FUEL AND OX
GUISE INTO A TANK WITHOUT HAVING
TO IN CREASE THE SIZE OF THIS HE
TANK.
AND THE REASON WHY IT IS SO
CLOSES TO LAWN, YOU DON'T WANT
THOSE DENTON 5 TO HEATP AND
CAUSE TO YOU BLEED OFF.
ET CETERA.
THAT IS WHY THEY DO IT SO CLOSE
TO LAUNCH.
IT DOESN'T GIVE THE FUEL AND
THOSE PROPELLANTS MUCH TIME TO
HEAT UP?
>> AS WE LOOK AT THE LIVE
PICTURE HERE.
YOU CAN SEE THAT TELLTALE SIGN
OF SUIT ON THE BOOSTER THERE.
THAT MEANS IT IS FLOWN TO SPACE
BEFORE.
YES.
IT HAS FLOWN FIVE TIMES BEFORE
US.
THE COME BUY IS AND A HALF SPACE
FORCE MISSIONS AS WELL AS
COMMERCIAL MESSINGS SO WE DO
HAVE FA MILL EAR TY WITH THE
BOOSTER.
A LITTLE SEASONING.
>> I LOVE HOW YOU SAY THAT.
OK.
PERFECT.
SO FAR SORE GOOD.
A QUAY WHY IT COUNT.
WE HEARING THE CALLOUTS WE ARE
EXPECTING NOTHING OUT THE
ORDINARY.
SO FAR SO GOOD.
WE'LL SEND IT BACK TO YOU GUYS.
>> THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE.
WE'LL GO DOOR TO COMMENTATOR AS
WE GET CLOSER TO LAUNCH IN A FEW
MINUTES ABOUT YOU FIRST WE HAVE
QUESTIONS TO ANSWER ABOUT THE
SWOT MISSION AND WATER.
HI, MY NAMES MEADOW.
AM SEVEN YEARS OLD.
I LIVE IN CALIFORNIA.
I WONDER HOW MUCH WATER IS ON
PLANET EARTH?
>> HI, MEADOW.
GOOD QUESTION.
A LOT OF WATER.
>> AND WE VERY A SOCIAL MEDIA
QUESTION COMING UP AS WELL.
LET'S SEE IT.
>> WHATS THE MOST IMPORTANT
THING TO KNOW AS NASA
SCIENTISTS?
>> WELL, HARD WORK.
OF PHYSICS IS A GOOD FIELD.
TO HAVE FUN WHILE DOING.
>> YOU POSSESS THOSE NAYDA WE
HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION COMING UP.
>> WHAT IS THE ACCURACY OF SWOT?
>> IT IS VERY PRECISE MISSION.
WE ARE IMPROVING THE ACCURACY
TEN X COMPARED TO THE CURRENT
OBSERVING CAPABILITY OVER THE
OCEAN WATER AND INLAND WATERS AS
WELL.
THANK YOU.
>> IT IS PARTICULARLY CLOSE TO
THE COAST.
AS WE COLLECT MORE AND MORE DATA
WE CAN ESTIMATE THE RATE, WHICH
IS THE CHANGE OVER A CERTAIN
PERIOD, THIS IS WHAT THE RATE
IS.
YES, EXCELLENT QUESTION.
NOW REMEMBER YOU CAN SEND YOUR
QUESTIONS ON-LINE BUY USING THE
HASHTAG TRACKING WORLD WATER.
NOW, YOU ARE LOOKING LIVE TO THE
LAUNCHPAD RIGHT NOW.
WE ARE T MINUS 28 MACHINES TO
LIFTOFF.
SWOT DATA WILL HELP RESEARCHES
BETTER UNDERSTAND THE OCEAN'S
ROLE TO CLIMATE CHANGE.
LET'S GO TO JASMIN LIVE AT THE
HACK'S NEST TO LEARN MORE FOR
THE MISSION SCIENCE.
>> THANK YOU.
WELCOME TO THE HAWK'S NEST.
THIS IS THE MAIN VIEWING
LOCATION AT VANDENBERG.
THIS ARE OVER 500 GUESTS
SCHEDULED TO BE IN HE
SURROUNDING AREA TONIGHT T.ING
NOW I AM THRILLED TO BE JOINED
BY THE SWOT PROJECT SEE YOU
INTERESTS WHO HAS BEEN WORK ON
WATER UPONNER TOKING MESSINGS
OVER TWO DECADES.
WELCOME, LEE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> OF COURSE.
>> WE RESO GLAD TO YOU HAVE.
S VERY PEGS.
WHAT IS THE MAIN SCIENCE GOALS?
>> THE MAIN SCIENCE GOALS IS TO
BETTER UNDERSTAND THE OCEAN'S
ROLE IN THE CLIMATE CHANGE.
AND HOW IN A WARMING CLIMATE IS
AFFECTING THE EARTH'S REMEMBERS,
LAKES AND RESERVOIR.
SO MORE THAN 90% OF THE HEAT
INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION, THE
GLOBAL WARMING HAS BEEN OBSERVED
AND STORED IN THE DEEP SEE AND
SWOT WILL PROVIDE HIGH
DEFINITION VIEW FOR CALCULATING
OCEAN CURRENTS THAT TRANSPORT
THE HEAT FROM THE ATS FER TO THE
DEEP SEE, SO THE DATA TAT WILL
AM PROVE OCEAN MODELS TO ACCESS
THE OCEAN'S CAPACITY IN THE
FUTURE TO KEEP ABSORBING HEAT
AND PROTECT HUMANITY FROM GLOBAL
WARMING THEN, ALSO, IN THE
WARMING CLI MEAT THE WATER CYCLE
MAKING IT DIF DIFFICULT TO TRACK
AND DIFFICULT TO REDICT DROUGHT
SO MOTH OF THE LAKES AND RIVERS
ARE NOT WELL SAMPLED BUT THE
SWOT FOR THE FIRST TIME WILL
PROVIDE A GLOBAL SURVEY OF THE
LAKE STORAGE OF WATER AND LOW
RAT RATES OF RIVER WILL ALLOW
USES TO BTER MODEL AND MACHINE
AGE THE WATER RESOURCE AND
PREDICT THE DROUGHT.
THAT IS A NUTSHELL.
VERY GOOD IN A NUTSHELL.
SO WHAT IS THAT SWOT APART FROM
PREVIOUS SATED LIGHTS?
>> YEAH.
IT US ALL ABOUT RESOLUTION AND
THE COVERAGE.
FOR INSTANCE THE FOOTPRINT OF
THE RADAR ON SWOT IS 1,000 TIMES
SMALLER THAN CONVENTIONAL
MAINING THE RESOLUTION OF THE
SWOT MUCH, MUCH HIGHER.
WITHOUT ANY GAPS BETWEEN
78 DEGREESEST SNORT AND SOUTH.
>> WOW.
WE REGETTING SOMETHING WE HAVE
NEVER SEEN BEFORE.
LEE, YOU HAVE BEEN WORK ON SWOT
SINCE THE BEGINNING FOR 20
YEARS.
WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE TO BE
HERE FOR LAUNCH?
>> YEAH.
THIS MISSION IS 20 YEARS IN THE
MAKE.
THESE ARE THE FOURTH SATELLITE
MISSIONS I SERVE ADDS THE
PROJECT SCIENTISTS, SO BUT THIS
MISSION HE IS THE MOST COMPLEX
AND CHALLENGING.
SO IT IS MIXTURE OF EXCITEMENT,
FULFILLMENT, AND ALSO SOME AND
EYE TY.
A RIGHT.
YEAH.
A LITTLE BIT OF AND XY THE.
KNOW THAT YOU AND YOUR TEAM WILL
BREATH A SIGH OF RELIEF WHEN ARE
DONED.
>> AXE LIE.
>> FANTASTIC.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
JONEING.
>> THANKS.
>> OF COURSE.
>> BACK TO YOU.
THANK YOU JASMIN AND LEE.
THE SWOT SATELLITE IS TRULY
REMARKABLE SPACECRAFT.
EARLIER I GOT A CHANCE TO LOOK
AT IT UPCLOSE WITH SWOT MANAGER.
>> WE ARE STANDING HERE IN FRONT
OF A ONE-THIRD JAIL MODEL OF
SWOT.
SO CAN YOU TELL US A LITTLE BIT
MORE ABOUT THE KEY SCIENTIFIC
INSTRUMENTS ONBOARD.
>> ABSOLUTELILY.
SO ON THIS NOTLE ON THIS MODEL,
OF COURSE, YOU SEE THE FULL
SPACECRAFT, BUT THE INSTRUMENT
PACKAGE IS REALLY ON THIS
CONFIGURATION HE FIRST FEATURED
WITH OUR BRAND-NEW INSTRUMENT
CALLED THE KAREN K BAND.
WHAT MAKES IT MOTE ARE IS HAVING
A RADAR WITH SIGNALS THAT ARE
TRANSMITTED AND RECEIVED FROM
TWO SEPARATE ANTENNAS THAT ARE
SEPARATED BAY LARGE DISTANCE WE
NEED OTHER INSTRUMENTS TO MAKE
SWOT WORK WE VERY A RADAR WHICH
IS MORE TRADITIONAL, WHICH GIVES
US PRECISE BUT SMALL MASS, WE
HAVE MICROWAVE RADIOMETER THAT
IS USED TO CORRECT THE
MEASUREMENT IN TERMS OF THE
WATER VAPOR AS THE SIGNAL IS
GOING THROUGH AND WE ALSO NED A
SET OF INSTRUMENTATIONS THAT
TELLS US A VERY ACCURATE
POSITION OF THE SPACECRAFT IN
SPACE ITSELF.
>> CAN YOU CAN LET US KNOW HOW
SWOT WILL COMMUNICATE?
>> DATA FIRST ALL.
SCIENCE DATA EVERY DAY THIS HAS
TO BE DOWNLINKED, PROCESS, ROD
DUCTMENT THE KEY TO BEING ABLE
TO DO THAT OF COURSE IS WE HAVE
A LARGE MEMORY RECORDER INSIDE
OF THE MODULE HERE AND THEN
GETTING IT OUT IS A JOB OF THIS
ANTENNA SYSTEM THAT IS X BAND
ANTENNA SYSTEM THAT IS
DOWNLINKING THE 600 MEGAABOUT IT
PER SECOND THEN WE HAVE F BAND
SYSTEM THAT IS MORE FOR COME
MACHINE AND CELL AND BASIC
MISSION OPERATION.
>> WE OBVIOUSLY CANNOT TAKE SWOT
LIKE THIS IN SPACE.
HOW WILL IT FOLD AND UNFOLD IN
LAUNCH?
>> YEAH T. THE WHOLE SYSTEM
SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE COMPACT AND
FOLDED UP TO THE SIDE OF THE
PAYLOAD MODULE THAT YOU SEE HERE
AND IT BASICALLY DEPLOYS IN
THREE PHASE, ONE THAT IS FIRST
COMING UP, THEN MOVING OUT AND
THEN THE ANTENNAS FINALLY DEPLOY
ON THE SIDE OF THE CELLS THEN
THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS LOCKED
INLAYS.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH PARAG.
THANK YOU.
>> TIME TO CHECK WIN THE LAUNCH
TEAM TO SEE HOWL THE COUNTDOWN
IS PROGRESSING.
MEG AND AND DENTON, HOW ARE WE
LOOKING?
>> SO WE ARE T MAY US IN 21:59
AND COUNTING UNTIL LIFTOFF.
FUELING OF THE SPACEX FALCON 9
CONTINUES RIGHT?
>> YEAH.
IT IS CONTINUING JUST FINE.
OFFING IS MOVING ALONG AS IT
SHOULD.
GREAT F. GREAT NEWS.
THE U.S. SPACE FORCE IS
RESPONSIBLE TO MAKE SURE IT IS
SAFE TO FLY?
ANY CONCERNS THERE?
NO, ACTUALLY.
THE RANGE IS GREEN RIGHT NOW.
WEATHER IS LOOKING GOOD.
AL THE CORRECT CONFIG RACES SO
WE ARE COMPLETELY GROWN NOW.
>> TALK TO ME ABOUT TRA
CROCKERIES IT IS NOT EASY ASK TO
DESIGN THAT, FLIGHT.
>> MO.
THAT IS THE WAY THEY SAY.
THIS IS BASICALLY YOU TRY TO GET
FROM THE LAUNCHPADDED TO A POINT
IN SPACE AND ALONG THE WAY,
THERE RACE SOME THINGS YOU MAY
ENCOUNTER AND OTHER ORBITING
SATELLITES, SOME DEBRIS UP THERE
VAUGHN TO MAKE SURE YOU AVOID
IT.
THE WORK IS INTERESTING BECAUSE
THE TEAM HAS A VERY DETAILED
MODEL OF ANNAN POLITICAL MODEL
OF HOW THE LAUNCH VEHICLE WILL
PERFORM THEN MR RY THAT WITH
EVERYTHING ORBITING IN EARTH
TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WE CAN
TAKE AND LAUNCH AND A LOT OF
WORK THAT GOES INTO.
THAT IS THE REAL ROCKET SEE YOU
HIMSELF WHY IS DONE THEN TALKING
YEARS OF WORK.
YES.
IN SOME CASE ITS OVER A PERIOD
OF YEARS WHERE YOU DEVELOP IN
YOUR FROM VICTORY FOR THE
SPACECRAFT THEN ALSO DEVELOP IN
THE LAUNCH VEHICLES SO IT IS A
LOT OF WORK THAT GOES INTO.
YEAH.
TODAY'S LAUNCH WILL YOU KNOW, BE
A HUGE MOMENT FOR A LOT OF
PEOPLE WHO HAVE WORKED WHO HAVE
WORKED ON THE SPACECRAFT WHO
WORKED ON THE VEHICLE AND YOU
KNOW, IT IS MANY YEARS OF HARD
WORK.
YES.
IT HAS BEEN 20 YEARS SINCE THE
FOLKS, WITH ON THE SPACECRAFT
HAS BEEN WORKING THIS MISSION SO
IT IS GOING TO BE EXCITING TIME
FOR EBB.
NOW HERE THEY ARE CAN SEE AGAIN
THE SPACECRAFT SITTING IN THE
PAYLOAD BARING ON THE LAUNCHPAD
HERE AT VANDENBERG.
SPACE FORCE MONITORS THIS HE
WEATHER FOR US.
ACIN, LET'S TAKE LOOK AT THE
WEATHER GRAPHIC.
THE LAUNCH WEATHER OFFICER
REPORTING 100% GO FOR LAUNCH
AMAZING SP.
YEAH.
YES.
YES GOOD TO SEE THATP?
THAT!
TO HAVE IT.
OK.
SPEAK OF SEEING, IT SEEM LOOK WE
ARE GOING TO SEE THE LAUNCH
TODAY.
RIGHT.
WE CAN ACTUALLY SEE THE LAUNCH
VEHICLE.
YEAH.
HERE WE.
>> THE VENTING WE WERE TALKING
ABOUT.
WE HAVE TO VENT RIGHT TO
MAINTAIN THE RIGHT KIND OF
PRESSURE.
YES.
THAT IS CORRECT.
SEE THIS AS NORMAL PART OF IT.
YOU WILL SEE IT CYCLING ON AND
OFF AND MAIN TAG THE APPROPRIATE
PRESSURE WITHIN THE TANK.
>> OK.
ALL RIGHT.
SO EVERYTHING IS LOOKING GOOD.
CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THIS LAUNCH AS
WE WERE TALKING ABOUT SO WE'LL
SEND IT BACK TO YOU RAQUEL AND
NAYDA.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
JOININGS NOW ON THE WEST COAST
IS JANET PETRO, THE CENTER
DIRECTOR FOR KENNEDY SPACE
CENTER ON THE EAST COAST IN
FLORIDA.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US
TODAY,IAN WET.
>> THANK YOU.
HAPPY TO BE HERE.
GREAT.
>> WE VERY SEVERAL LOCATION IN
FLOOR TASH WHERE BUT ALSO, AS
FAR AWAY AS ALASKA AND NEW
ZEALAND.
IT GENERALLY DEPENDS ON THE
SCIENCE MISSION ITSELF, FLIGHT
THE SCIENCE MISSION AND THE
ORBIT THAT IT NEEDS TO BE IN TO
CON DOING THE SCIENCE, SO IN
GENERAL, WE LAUNCHED FROM THE
EAST COAST WHEN WE NEED MISSION
THEN IN THE CASE OF TODAY WHERE
WE ARE LOOKING AT THE MISSIONS
WE LAUNCH OUT OF THE WEST COAST
HERE AT RAN DENBERG.
>> TELL US ABOUT THE KENNEDY
SPACE CENTER INVOLVEMENT HERE?
>> THE KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, WE
ARE VERY, VERY PROUD TO HOST THE
LAUNCH SERVICES PROGRAM.
WE ARE BEEN DOING SO SINCE 1998.
THAT PROGRAM, I AM PROUD OF THAT
PROGRAM I TEND TO THINK OF THEM
AS THE WORLD RENOWN EXPERTS IN
LAUNCH VEHICLES THEN I DO
UNDERSTAND ALL OF THE LAUNCH
VEHICLES AND PROVIDE A GREAT
SERVICE TO THE AGENCY.
THEY PROVIDE DATA TELEMETRY,
THEN, TODAY, WE ARE PROVIDING
THE LAUNCH SERVICES AND THE
MISSION ASSURANCE FOR EACH OF
THE MISSIONS, LOOK I SAID, THEY
ARE BEEN DOING IT SINCE 90 THEY
DO A REALLY, REALLY GREAT JOB
WHEREVER AND WHATEVER LOCATION
THE MISSION IS GOING OUT.
SO VERY, VERY PROUD OF THAT
PROGRAM AND WE HOST THEM OUT THE
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER.
>> WHAT IS COMING UP IN THE
FUTURE?
OH, GOODNESS.
AM SO HE OF FOCUS ON THIS YEAR.
WE HAD THE JPS2 AND NOW THE --
NOW WHAT WE ARE DOING TODAY WITH
SWOT.
AM TRYING TO THINK NEXT YEAR.
WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A BREAK
UNTIL APRIL COMING UP.
WE DID EARLIER THIS YEAR LAUNCH
THE MISSION.
>> RIGHT.
>> OF COURSE, YEAH, OTHER
MISSIONS OUTSIDE OF THE LAUNCH
SERVICES PROGRAM, OF COURSE, WE
DO THE CREW TO THE INTERNATIONAL
SPACE STATION.
WE DO THE CARGO TO THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION, YOU
KNOW, WE JUST CAME FROM OUR BIG
MISSION WAS ARTEMIS AND REVERY
PROUD TO GET THAT LAUNCH OUT OF
THE PAD AND WE JUST RECOVERED
THE VEHICLE DOWN IN SAN DIEGO
AND TAWA AN INCREDIBLE EXPENSE.
EXPLORATION GROUND SYSTEMS
PROGRAM DOWN AT KENNEDY THEY ARE
THE IN WITHS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
LAUNCH PIECE OF THAT PROGRAM AND
THEN RECOVERY OPERATION HERE ON
THE WEST COAST, AND THEY DID A
REALLY OUTSTANDING JOB.
WE HAD A TREMENDOUSLY BUSY YEAR
AT THE KENNEDY SPACE CENTER AND
I WOULD LIKE TO SAY IT IS OUR
DIAMOND ANNIVERSARY OUR 6th
ANNIVERSARY OF SO IT WAS GREAT
WAY TO REALLY CAP OF THE YEAR
WITH ARTEMIS AND NOW ENDING WITH
THE SWOT PROGRAM HERE TONIGHT.
WE HAD A RECORD NUMBER OF
LAUNCHES.
50 LARCHES WE SUPPORTED FROM THE
EAST COAST.
WHETHER ON OUR PROPERTY, OR ON
THE SPACE FORCE PROPERTY CAPE
CANAVERAL, WE PROVIDE ALL KINDS
OF SERVICES WHETHERS THE PROPEL
AND SERVICES OR STANDING UP THE
EOC, SO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT, 53
LAUNCHES, THAT IS ONE A WEEK.
ONE A WEEK.
>> THANK YOU, JAN MET, SO MUCH.
>> HAPPY ANNIVERSARY.
THANK YOU ALL.
THERE IS A GROWING COMMUNITY
EAGER TO USE SWOT DATA.
LET'S GO TO JASMIN LIVE AT THE
HAWK'S NEST TO MEET ONE OF THEM.
>> YES, RAQUEL T. THAT HE IS
RIGHT.
AAM HERE WITH SOMEONE WHO IS
EAGER TO GOT THE HANDS WITH THE
SWOT DATA WITH THE SERIES GROUP
IN YO.
WELL TOBY.
>> THANKS.
GLAD TO BE HER.
I'M ARE SO GLAD TO HAVE YOU
HERE.
YOU ARE A RESEARCH HIGH DROLL
LOW GISTS WITH THAT GROUP.
CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT ARE THE
APPLICATIONS OF SWOT?
>> WELL, SWOT HE IS AMAZING
BECAUSE IT HAS UNIQUE CAPABILITY
OF MEASURING WATER LEVEL OVER A
BIG AREA.
SO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE WATER
MANAGERS THERE IS A LOT OF
EXCITEMENT THERE PAUSE WE DON'T
HAVE THIS KIND OF CAPABILITY AT
PRESENT AND DO THINGS FROM THE
FIELD INDIVIDUAL POINTS AND
THING LIKE THAT ARE HARD TO MAKE
IN THE FIELD THEN SO WE HAVE A
LOT OF INTERESTS FROM PEOPLE
THAT ARE LIKE MUNICIPAL WATER
AGENCIES AND STATE AGENCIES AND
FOR DAM SAFETY AND FEDERAL
AGENCIES AND ALL INTEREST IN
GETTING THEIR HANDS ON WATER
LEVEL DATA IN PARTICULAR AND
STORAGE SO VERY EXCITING.
IT IS VERY EXCITING.
REALLY BUT I HEAR YOU SAYING
SWOT IS CHANGING THE GAME.
WHAM ARE THOSE SPECIFIC AND
ICATIONS MAYBE AGRICULTURE OR
FLOOD ZONES?
HOW IS IT CHANGING OUR LEAVES IN
THE OWN BACKYARD?
>> FOR EXAMPLE, FLOOD RISKS WE
DON'T HAVE A GOOD SENSE OF WHERE
FLOODING OH COARSE WHEN AND WHY
AND HOW MUCH REMEMBERS FOR
FLOODING TO CURE.
A GOOD PLACE FOR THAT IS ON THE
COAST.
WE DON'T HAVE VERY MANY GAUGES
ALONG THE COAST AS THE FRESH
WATT AND SALTWATER INTERFACE.
YEAH.
I THINK WE'LL SEE A LOT OF
CHANGES THERE AND A LOT OF
CHANGES INLAND OR SWOT, TOO.
THEY HEARD THERE IS WATER
COMING.
THESE ARE AGENCIES THAT ARE
NONGOVERNMENTAL, THAT ARE
GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS
RANGING FROM CITY LEVEL WATER
AGENCIES UP TOP FEDERAL
AGENCIES, SO A LOT OF EXCITEMENT
THERE FROM THE WATER COME
PENALTY.
RIGHT.
VERY EXCITING.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR JOINING.
RAQUEL, BACK TO YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
THIS WILL BE THE LAST LAUNCH
FORS IN SA'S ASSOCIATED
ADMINISTRATOR FOR THE SCIENCE
MISSION DIRECTORATE AND THOMAS.
DURING THOMAS' SIX YEARS IN THE
ROLE, HE HAS OVERSEEN FEARLY 1
HP00 SYIANS MISSIONS INCLUDING
SWOT, DART, THE DOUBLE ASTEROID
REDIRECTION TEST THE MARS 2020
MISAND THE JAMES WEBB TELESCOPE
AND COAUTHORED AND AUTHORED HERE
THAN 2-00 ARTICLES THEN RECEIVED
MANY AND PHYSICIAN SY AWARDS
CONGRATULATIONS, MOMS THAT.
A CONGRATULATIONS.
SO MUCH WILL BE MISSED HE IS
KNOWN FOR THE ENERGY AND
SCIENTIFIC CURIOSITY AND WHEN I
WAS IN THE FIRST LAUNCH WITH HIM
HE WAS SUPPORTIVE SO YEAH.
SO MUCH WILL BE MISSED IN.
CON BT LATIONS ENJOY.
WELL DESERVED.
>> AXLEY ENJOY THAT.
WELL, THE PRESIDENT OF FRANCE'S
SPACE AGENCY PHILIPPE SENT US
THIS MESSAGE ABOUT TODAY'S LAWN.
>> I AM VERY PROUD TO SEND YOU
THIS MESSAGE AND BE WITH YOU.
I WANT TO SAY ONCE AGAIN, BE A
FEW WORDS OF HOW PROUD I AM TO
BE INVOLVED IN THIS AMBITIOUS
INTERNATIONAL ADVENTURE
ALONGSIDE OF NASA.
THE FIRST MISSION TO SURVEY THE
WATT HE ON A GLOBAL JAIL.
THE WATER ISES A FINE DYNAMIC
ARE ALL VITAL DATA TAT THAT ARE
GOING TO HELP US BETTER ADOPT
THE CLIMATE.
I WISH YOU A SUCCESSFUL LAUNCH.
GO SWOT GO.
>> IT IS FRONT AND CENTER FOR
EVERYONE INCLUDING AS.
JOINING NOW IS MASAS' SANDRA
CONNELLY.
PG THANK FOR JOINING.
>> THANK YOU FOR HALVING ME.
>> AS A LEADER IN SEE YOU WHY,
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE ART PA
OF MISSION INTO THIS IS SUCH AN
EXCITING MISSION.
IT IS UNPRECEDENTED IN MANY
WAYS.
IT IS GOING TO BE THE MISSION
THAT FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER WE
ARE MEASURING SURFACE WATER
AROUND THE WORLD.
FRESH WATER SORS, SALTWATER
SORSES HOW THEY EBB AND FLOW HOW
THE END ARE GE IS TRANSFERRED
ACROSS THE WATER BODY ALSO THE
ENVIRONMENT THAT IS GOING TO
HELP US IMPROVE THE WATER
FORECASTING ABILITY AND OUR
CLIMATE PREDICTION ABILITY.
>> REAL TRAIL BLAZER IFMENT NOW
SWOT IS A JOINT MISSION.
CLIMATE CHANGE KNOWS NO
UPONDRIES SO WHY IS IT WERE FOR
MISSION TO BE INTERNATIONAL
COLLABORATION?
>> SO SCIENCE KNOWS NO UPONDRIES
RIGHT.
SO OUR SCIENTIST ARE FROM AROUND
THE WORLD THIS PARTNERSHIP IS
TREMENDOUSLY IMPORTANT AND SPANS
OVER 30 YEAR ON OCEAN MISSIONS
AND THAT IS NOT EVEN COUNTING
OTHER PARTNERSHIPS WE HAVE TO
ACHIEVE OUR SCIENCE SO WE ARE
LOOKING FORWARD TO MONEY MANY
MORE MISS TOGETHER WITH THEM.
>> AS YOU KNOW SWOTS THE FIRST
THAT IS COME PLY AND.
CAN YOU TELL US MORE ABOUT
NASA'S OPEN SCIENCE AND HOW DO
WE KEEP THE YEAR OF OPEN
SCIENCE?
WE REABLE TO LOOK AT IT AS A
GLOBAL SYSTEM, RIGHT?
AND THE DATA TAT WE CO RECK OVER
THE 50 YEARS ALLOW US TO REALLY
LOOK AT THE GROUND AND THE
ATMOSPHERE AND THE OCEANS AND
WHAT OPEN SEE YOU ANSWER IS AND
OPEN DATA WILL ENABLE US TO DO
TO TAKE TO THE NEXT LEVEL AND
GIVE TO IT THE INDIVIDUAL
AUTOSSERS WHETHER DECISION MAKER
A THE LOCAL LEVEL, AT THE
REGIONAL LEVEL OR EVEN TRAVEL
CO-SES TO GIVE THAT INFORMATION
TO PEOPLE SO THEY CAN MAKE
INFORMED DECISIONS REGARDLESS.
WE DON'T NEED TO ACTUALLY BE A
SCIENTIST OR EN NEAR TO BE TIBE
LEVERAGE THE DATA AND APPLY TO
IT THE DAY TO DAY BUSINESS.
LOOKING FORWARD TO THE DATA.
THANKS SO MUCH T.
>> THANK.
>> NOW, LET'S HEAD OVER TO OUR
COME MEN TARO ITERS WE ARE T
MINUS 7 MINUTES OF LAUNCH OF THE
FALCON 9 ROCKET FROM RAN DENBERG
PACE FORCE BASE.
MEGAN WILL NAVIGATE US THROUGH.
>> YEAH JUNCTIONER EIGHTPMENS TO
LIFTOFF.
WE ARE LOOKING FANTASTIC FOR
LAWN.
WEATHER IS A GO.
NO COLLISION CONCERNS ON THE
RANGE FOR INSTANTANEOUS
OPPORTUNITY TO LAUNCH AT 34:00
6:47 SPA PA SICK TIME AM WE SEE
A LIVE SHOT OF THE FALCON
SITTING ON LAUNCHPAD HERE IN RAN
DENPERG.
THIS REUSABLE TWO-STAGE ROCKET
STANDING ABOUT 230 FEET TALL THE
FIRST STAGE HE IS THE BOTTOM
TWO-THIRDS OF WHAT YOU SEE THERE
THAT IS CALL THE BESTER THEN,
RIGHT THAT, YOU CAN SEE THE
BLACK FLEECE THAT'S THE
INTERSTAGE ADAPTER WHICH
CONNECTS THE FIRST AND SECOND
STAGE THEN AT THE TOP THE
PAYLOAD FARING THEN YOU SEE SWOT
PAINTED ON THERE AND SWOT IS
TUCKED SAFELY INSIDE OF IT AND
FOLDED UP TO THE SIZE OF A
MID-SIZE CARE.
>> ENGINE CHILL.
>> WE JUST HEARD THE CALL-OUT
FOR STAGE ONE ENGINE.
THEN BASICALLY WHAT THAT IS JUST
GETTING THE ENGINE READY FOR THE
KNOW OF THE COLDER TEMPERATURES
SO KIND OF LOOK YOU I PAM GIN TO
JUMP IN A COLD POOL AND YOUR
MUSCLES TENSE UP AND EVERYTHING
ELSE.
WE DON'T WANT THAT.
WE SLOWLY START TO BLEED IN
THOSE LIQUID OXYGEN THAT BRING
IT DOWN TO THE TEMPERATURE THAT
IT WILL BE SEEING DURING FLIGHT.
THAT IS WHAT THAT IS.
IT IS FOR OBSERVING THE STRESS
ON THE ENGINES AND GETTING READY
FOR NIGHT.
SO WE SEE THAT HE LIQUID OXYGEN
VENTING OFF NOW THE FIRST AND
SECOND STAGES ROOTING.
YEAH.
YOU ARE SEEING THAT PAUSE THE
BOOSTER IS VERY, VERY COOL
BECAUSE THAT LIQUID OCTOBER GEN
IN SIDE OF THERE THEN YOU HEAR
THE CALL OUTFOR STAGE ONE AND
WRAPPING AND YOU THE STABLE AND
OF THE STAGE ONE RIGHT NOW AND
SO WE SHOULD HERE THAT CALL
WITHOUT HERE APE FEW SECONDS.
>> SPACEX IS ALSO LOADING.
RODING INTO BOTH STAGES.
WE WILL CONTINUE TO TOP OFFLE
UNTIL ABOUT A MINUTE AND A HALF
BEFORE LAUNCH.
FALCON 9 USES HELIUM AS PRESSURE
ANT MEANING IT USES HELIUM TO
MACHINE TAIN PURCHASE SHARP THE
TANKS AS LIQUID OXYGEN AND RP1
ARE CONSUME BOOED I THE ENGENS
DURING ASSENT?
>> THE FIRST STAGE HAS NINE
MERLIN ENGENS WHEN THE NAME
FALCON 9 THE SECOND STAGE HAS
SEASON GEL OR M VAC ENGINE SO
YOU WILL HEAR REFERENCES TO M
VAC THROUGHOUT THE COUNT.
NEXT CALL-OUT WILL COME IN A
COUPLE OF SECOND AND HAR THE
SPACECRAFT HE IS ON INTERNAL
POWER ANCONING GURE FOR LAUNCH
WHICH MEAN THE SPACECRAFT IS NOW
RUNNING ON BATTERIES VER SES
GETTING BAT ARES FROM THE STRONG
THERE.
TANKS ARE PRESSING FOR RETRACK.
THE STRONG BACK IS GETTING READY
THAT MAN A CALL STRUCTURE YOU
SEE JUST TO THE RIGHT OF THE
VEHICLE AND JUST BRES PRESSES UP
THE TANK AND GET READY AND SEE
IT TILT BACK LEGALLY I SHALY IN
THE WE GET CLOSER TO LAUNCH AND
SEW A TILT ABOUT 45 MACHINE
DEGREES BACK AND GET OUT OF THE
WAY AND FALCON 9 CAN DOLLARS THE
PAD WITH NO ISSUES THEN THAT
TILT STARTS WHEN YOU SEE THAT
CRADLE AND KIND OF LIKE A HUG.
>> YEAH.
THAT IS CORRECT.
>> YOU CAN SEE THE CRADLE
OPENING UP.
A FEW INS AFTER THAT IS
COMPLETED STRONG BACK WILL TILT
BACK SLIGHTLY.
NOW WE'LL PAUSE FOR UPCOMING
POLL HERE.
>> COUNTDOWN ONE.
>> COPY.
>> THE LAUNCH MANAGER FOR THIS
MISSION.
NAS'S LAUNCH MANAGER FOR THIS
MISSION.
NASA'S LAUNCH MANAGER FOR THIS
MISSION.
AGAIN WE SEE THAT RETRACKING AND
YOU SEE THE CONNECTIONS TWO IN
THE STRONG BACK AND THE ROCKET.
THOSE ARE UMBILICALS THAT IS
WHAT CONTINUES TO FEED THE
ROCKET WITH LIQUID, RECK
INTERESTS TY, GASES, ROOTING UP
UNTIL LAUNCH, RATING.
>> THAT IS CORRECT.
WHAT WE ARE WAITING TO HEAR NOWS
THE SPACE X TEAM CONFIRMING WITH
THE NASA LAUNCH MANAGER THAT THE
TEAM IS READY TO GO.
COUNTDOWN ONE.
GO AHEAD.
>> NASA IS GO FOR SWOT LAUNCH.
>> THERE YOU GO.
PERFECT LAUNCH.
>> COMPLETE.
STAGE ONE GO.
>> YEP.
YOU HEARD THE TEAM IS ALL GOOD
TO GO.
SOING NOW STAGE ONE LOAD IS
COMPLETE.
AT THIS POINT AND TIME THE STAGE
ONE IS COMPLETELY FILLED WITH
FUEL AND WE ARE WAYING TO TOP
OFF.
TODAY WE ARE TREATED TO SONIC
BOOMS SINCE THE BOOSTER WILL LAN
BACK HERE AT VANDENBERG SPACE
FORCE BASE ABOUT 1,000 FEETED
FROM THE WHERE IT IS GOING TO
LAWN.
YES.
IT IS ALWAYS EXCITING TO SEE.
I MEAN, JUST SO FASCINATING THAT
THE BOOSTER IS GOING TO LANDS
ACALLY VERY CLOSE TO WHERE IT
TOOK OFF FROM.
THAT IS GOING TO BE GREAT.
AS YOU SAD AGAIN.
VISION K IS SO DRET WE WON'T
JUST SEE THE LAUNCH WE WILL SEE
THE BOOSTER COMING BACK TO LAND.
YEAH.
IT IS TAKING EVERYTHING I HAVE
TO STAY INSIDE AND NOT GO
OUTSIDE.
YOU HAVE TO SIT IN HERE WITH ME.
THEN THE LAST FEW MINUTES FALCON
9 IS PER FORKING FINAL HEALTH
CHECKS ON THE PRIMARY
COMMUNICATIONS THEN AVI ON KS IN
THE PROPULSION SYSTEMS THIS IS
ROCK RANGE IS GREEN.
HE WILL HAR THE DALOUT FOR STAGE
TWO AND AT THAT PONE ALL THE
PROPEL ANDS WILL BE LOAD ON.
STAGE TWO.
YOU HEARD THAT HE CALL-OUT SO
ALL THE PROPELLANTS ARE DONE
LOADING THEN AT TIME WE ARE
GEARING UP FOR FALCON 9 TO GO TO
START-UP WHICH IS BASICALLY THE
COMPUTER TALKING OVER AND GOING
THROUGH THE LAST SET OF CONFIG
RAGES AND CHECKS TO MAKE SURE W.
>> REMEMBER, HOW BENTON WAS
TELLING US EARLIER WE SEE THE
AMS OF LIQUID OXYGEN COMING OFF
OF THE ROCKETS.
FLUCTUATING THOUGHT THE COUNT
HERE AND WHAT WE ARE SEEING
AGAIN TO MEAN TAIN THAT PURCHASE
SHORE THE CORRECT PRESSURE IN
BOTH STAGES.
YES.
WHAT YOU ARE SEEING NOW IS THEM
VENTING THE UMBILICAL TOWER.
ENT HAVING THIS OUT.
GETTING IT READY TO GO FOR LAWN.
WE HEARD THAT START-UP.
WE HEARD.
ITS THE FLIGHT COME POOTER
TAKING OVER AND JUST PREPARING
FOR THE INITIAL LAUNCH SEQUENCE.
NOW BOTH STAGES ARE PRESSURIZING
FOR LAUNCH.
CONFIRMING GO FOR LAUNCH.
RANGE REMEAN MANS GO.
WEATHER IS GO.
THIS LAUNCH WILL HARK THE
101st MISSION OF NASA'S LAUNCH
SERVICES PROGRAM BASE AT KENNEDY
SPACE CENTER.
HERE WE GO.
>> 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5,4, 3, 2, 1.
ENGINE IGNITION.
LIFTOFF.
LIFTOFF OF SWOT.
OUR FIRST GLOBAL SURVEY OF
EARTH'S SURFACE WATER TO STUDY
HOW THIS EVER CHANGING RESOURCE
AFFECTS OUR CLIMATE.
A NICE VIEW FROM THE GROUND
CAMERAL SWITCH TOP THE ONBOARD
CAMERA.
NOW DENTON YOU DIDN'T GO OUTSIDE
TO SEE THE LAWN BUT NOW WE ARE
FEELING IT INSIDE HERE IN THE
MISSION DIRECTOR CENTER THE
RUMBLE ALL AROUND US FROM
LAUNCH.
>> ABSOLUTELY NU GETTING A GOOD
LOOK AT THE ONBOARD CAMERA
LOOKING DOWN TON THE AFT END OF
THE ROCKET AND YOU SEA CAN SEE
THE MERLIN ENGENS COMING TO LIFE
THERE.
>> THIS ROOM COMING TO LIFE
REALLY.
LOTS OF RUMBLE GOING ON HERE.
WE ARE SOON GOING TO HEAR THAT
IT IS GOING FASTER THAN THE
SPEED OF SOUND OL LOWED BY
FALCON 9 REACHING WHAT IS CALLED
MAXQ THE MOMENT OF PEAK MECHANIC
STRESS ON THE ROCKETS.
>> GETTING GOOD SHOT THERE.
>> WE JUST STEPPED THROUGH MAXQ.
IT MEANS GETTING THE SECOND
STAGE ENGINE READY TO START
WHICH MEAPS WE ARE COMING UP ON
STAGE SEPARATION SHORTLY AND
FOLLOWED BY STAGE TWO IGNITION.
WE SEE THE BEAUTIFUL SHOT OF ALL
OF THE MERLIN ENGENS ALL NINE OF
THEM LIT UP.
THAT IS 1.7 MILLION POUNDS OF
THRUST LOOKS LIKE.
>> LOTS OF THRUST SO THE NEXT
CALL-OUTS ARE GOING TO COME IN
QUICK SUGGESTION SESSION SO
WE'LL WALK THEM THROUGH QUICK.
WE WILL HAVE MAIN ENGINE CUT
OFF.
THAT IS MCO MEANING THEY GOING
TO SHUTDOWN THEN A FEW SECONDS
AFTER THAT, STABLE ONE AND TWO
WILL ACCEPT SEPARATE AND STAGE
ONE WILL DOLL A FLIP AND DO A
BOOST BURN TO ORIENT ITSELF BACK
TOWARD EARTH FOR THAT LANDING
HERE.
THERE WE GOT A GOOD SHOP IN THE
THE CAMERA LOOKING UP.
SEPARATION CONFIRMED.
>> AND WE JUST HEARD.
THERE YOU GO.
>> LIVE VIDEO OF STAGE ONE AND
TWO ON SEPARATION.
>> TECHNICIAN.
>> AND THIS IS A GOOD LOOK.
>> BACK ENGINE COME LIFE.
THAT IS GREAT.
YOU ARE SEEING THE STAGE ONE
BOOSTER DO A FLIP.
LIT UP.
THIS IS CAMERA SHOT OF STAGE ONE
HERE.
AGAIN, ON THE WAY BACK TO EARTH.
BOOST BACK BURN ENDING.
>> NOMINAL TRAJECTORIES.
THAT CALL-OUT WAS TO SAY STAGE
ONE AND STAGE TWO DOING WHAT
THEY WERE EXPECTING THEM TO
DOMENT WE ARE HOPING TO GET A
VIDEO OF TEAMING ONE LANDING SO
SOMETIMES WE DON'T ALWAYS GET IT
BECAUSE OF THE COMING IN SO FAST
AND STIPES HARD TO CAPTURE SO
SOMETIMES WE DON'T GET IT ALL
THE WAY BUT HOPING TO GET A GOOD
VIDEO THIS TIME.
>> T PLUS 4:10 INTO THE LAUNCH
OF SWOT THEN WEEDED A NOMINAL SO
FAR NO ISSUES TO REPORT AGAIN
THIS IS A VIDEO OF A LIVE SHOT
OF THE ENGINE ON STAGE TWO.
SURFACE WATER AND OCEAN TOP
GRAPHY AND THE FIRST MISSION TO
PROVIDE HIGH DEFINITION DATA ON
MORE THAN 90% OF THE WATER ON
THE PLAN NOT'S SURFACE.
I IS A JOINT MISSION BETWEEN
NASA AND FRANCE'S SPACE AGENCY
WITH CONTRIBUTIONS FROM BOTH THE
CANADIAN AND UK SPACE AGENCIES.
THE FIRST TO LAUNCH FROM RAN
DENBERG SPACE FORCE IS ABOUT AND
THE SIXTH SCIENCE MISSION
OVERALLTO LARCH ON FALCON 9.
>> YES.
WE GOT A LOT MORE MISSION COMING
UP ON THE FALCON.
YEAH.
TO SEE THE PARTNERSHIP GROW FOR
YOU, TOO.
>> YEAH?
YOU WORK FROM SPACEX FROM THE
BEGINNING.
YEAH.
AND SEEING THE EVOLUTION OVER
THE YEARS HAS BEEN AMAZING TO
WATCH.
>> SO COG UP WE'LL SEE THE
BOOSTER BEGIN THE ENTRY BURN
SOON AND AGAIN THAT IS TO SLOW
IT DOESN'T AS IT APPROACHES
EARTH FOR THE LANDING HERE BACK
AT THE BASE.
INSTEAD OF A DRONE SHIP.
YEAH.
IT IS AWESOME TOLL SEE IT COME
BACK.
AS I MENTIONED BEFORE.
I HAVE SEEN IT LANDING RIGHT
VERY CLOSES TO WHERE IT TOOK OFF
FROM IS AWESOMELE HOW DOES THIS
WORK?
APANE WE HAVE THE IN TRY BURN
THAN SLOWS IT DOWN THEN A
LANDING BURNING.
YEAH.
YOU HAVE THE BOOST BACK BURN TO
GET IT BACK.
THE ENTRY BURN SLOWS IT DOWN AS
IT COMES IN THEN YOU HAVE THE
LANDING BURN AND YOU SEE IT PUT
DOESN'T GENTLY ON THE PAD.
YEAH.
SPACEX IS REAL PROS AT LANDING
BOOSTERS.
YEAH.
IT IS BECOMING RAW TEEN FOR THEM
AT THIS POINT AND TIME AND
NORMAL COURSE OF BUSINESS TO
THEM.
U HEARD THE CALL-OUT TO IN THE
TRY BURN.
THERE WE GO.
WE GOT AT GOOD VIDEO ROUGH IT.
YEAH.
CAN SEE THE HEAPER SONIC GRID
SPANS ILLUMINATED BY THE FLAME
FROM THE BOOSTER.
>> STAGE ONE.
>> THE SCREEN WENT BLACK THERE
BECAUSE THEY JUST SHUT DONE THE
IN GIN.
>> THAT IS CORRECT.
NOW THAT WE DONE WITH THE IN TRY
BORN THE NEXT BORN IS LANDING
BURN.
ONE ENGINE LIGHT BEFORE IT TOUCH
DOWN T.
>> CORE ARELY GENTLY SETTING IT
DOWN ON THE PAD.
THE NEXT MILESTONE FOR THE
SECOND STABLE IS GOING TO BE
ONE.
>> YEAH.
THE FIRST HUT JOUB OF THE SECOND
STAGE ENGINE AND FOR THIS
MISSION THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE
TWO BURNS AND AFTER STAGE TWO
SHOWS DOWN THEN COAST FOR AHIGH
WITH THEN YOU GOT A GOOD VIDEO
OF STAGE ONE.
ABOUT TO LAN HOW EXCITING.
COMING TO THE LANDING BURN
THERE.
AGAIN THE GRID MOVING EVER SO
HAS LOOTINGLY TO MAKE SURE IT IS
COOING DOWN HOW THEY WANT IT TO
COME DOWN.
YEAH.
CAN SEE THE PAD COMING INTO
VIEW.
THERE IT IS.
WOW.
SONIC BOOK.
THEN THE SON KNG BOOMS.
THE TRADEMARK SONIC BOOMS THEN
GOOD TOUCHDOWN.
>> TOP-DOWN.
PER FEG.
OH.
STABLE ONE LANDING IS COCONFIRM.
SO GOODED TO SEE THAT LINE VIDEO
AGAIN SOMETIMES WE DON'T GET IT.
THAT WAS AMAZING TO SEE AND FEEL
REALLY.
>> SEE AND FEEL.
AND WE GET TO USE THE BOOSTER'S
GEAN.
YEAH.
AGAIN.
THIS IS THE SIXTH FLIGHT OF THIS
BOOSTER.
>> THAT IS RIGHT.
SO WE ARE AWAITING THE SHUTDOWN
OF THE SECOND STAGE T. YES.
WHEN DOES SHUTDOWN, IT IS WEST
OF THE SOUTHERN TIP OF BAJA,
CALIFORNIA, AGAIN, EXACTLY WHERE
WE WANT IT TO BE FOLLOWING THE
WELL THOUGHTOUT PLANNED
TRAJECTORY.
EVERYTHING IS LOOKING NOM LAL.
STAGE TWO IS WHERETTES SUPPOSED
TO BE AND LOOKING GOOD.
>> SHUTDOWN.
>> HERE WE GO.
YEP.
>> NOMINAL ORBIT.
>> CONFIRMED.
THAT'S THE TRA JK ARE YOU ARE
SEEING FLYING SOUTH OF WHERE IT
LAUNCH THEN CONTINUE TO FLY
SOUTH DOWN YOU WARD ANTARCTICA.
AGAIN EVERYTHING GOING AS PECKED
SO FAR.
THE SECOND SUSTAIN IS GOING TO
COAST FOR 30 MINUTE THEN YOU CAN
SEAT IS SHUT DOWN THERE FROM THE
VIEW THIS IS THE VIEW OF THE
SPACECRAFT.
AGAIN, BECAUSE THE PAYLOAD
FARING HAS BEEN YET TY SENNED
YOU SEE SWOT RIGHT THERE ON THE
SCREEN.
EXPOD NOW WE DONE NEED TO SAFELY
GET OUT OF THE ATMOSPHERE.
CORRECT.
THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THE FARING
IS PROTECTED WHILE THE VEHICLE
IS FLYING THROUGH THE ATMOSPHERE
AT SUPERSONIC SPEEDS AND THEN
ONCE YOU GET UP OUT OF THAT.
THERE IS NOTHING TO HARM THE
SPACECRAFT SO YOU CAN YET TY SEN
THAT EXTRA WEIGHT AND GIVE YOUR
VEHICLE A LOT MORE PERFORMANCE
ONCE YOU GET RID OF THE EXTRA
WEIGHT.
OK.
THE ENGINE NOT GLOWING ORANGE AS
IT HAD BEFORE THEN AGAIN ITS
SHUTOFF SO IT WILL COAST FOR 30
MINUTESES WITH SWOT ATTACHED TO
IT BEFORE SOME MANEUVERS ARE
NEEDED TO KEEPETTE ON THE RIGHT
TRAING WHY RY AGAIN TO GET IT IN
THE ORBIT WE WANT IT IN SO THEN
WE ARE GOING TO BE BACK THEN
WITH YOU TO WALK YOU THROUGH.
FOR NOW WE'LL SEND IT BACK TO
RAQUEL AND NAYDEA WHO ARE EX XID
TO TALK HOW IT LAUNCHED TODAYED?
>> THAT IS RIGHT, MEG AND AND
DENTON.
JUST TEN MINUTE AGO, WE WATCHED
A SPECTACULAR LAUNCH FROM RAN
DENBERG HERE IN CALIFORNIA.
DESCRIBE WHAT WAS GOING THROUGH
YOUR MIND AT THAT TIME?
>> WHAT A SPECTACULAR TRULY
SPECTACULAR LAUNCH.
ITS WITHS A VERY BRIGHT SPLASH
AND VERY LOUD ONE, TOO.
WHAT AN ENTRANCE.
WELCOME.
WELCOME TO THE ERA OF SWOT.
VERY EXCITED.
>> SOME TEARING GOING ON HER.
OH, YEAH.
YEAH.
WHEN THE CAR WANT OFF.
WE HAD CAR ALARMS GOING OFF.
WAITS PEEKS HOOKINGER THIS HE
VIEW.
NOW SOON THE SWOT SATELLITE
ONONBOARD WILL SEPARATE FROM THE
SPACECRAFT.
SWOT STAN FOR SURFACE WATER AND
OCEAN TOPOGRAPHY AND THE
SATELLITE WILL SURVEY PEARLY ALL
THE WATER ON EARTH'S SURFACE IN
UNPRESS END DENTED DETAIL AND
SWOT WILL PROVIDE IN SITES INTO
HOW HOW THE SOCIAL INFLUENCES
CLIMATE CHANGE HOW THE WARMING
WORLD AFFECTS LAKES AND RIVERS
AND HOW COMMUNITIES CAN BETTER
PREP FOR DISASTERS LIKE FLOODS
AND WE ARE COVERING EVERY ANG OF
THE SPOT WITH MISSION FROM THE
NEW DATA TAT THE SATELLITE WILL
PROVIDE TO HOW IT IS PAVING HE
WHICH FOR FUTURE NASA ETHER'S
MISSIONS.
NOW SWOT IS A COMBINATION OF
WORK BUY A GLOBAL TEAM OF END GO
NEARS SCIENTISTS AND TECHNICIAN
COMMITTED TO PROIM IMPROVING OUR
UNDERSTANDING OF ETHER AND LET'S
GET TO KNOW THE PEOPLE BEHIND
THE MISSION.
>> PLANNING REQUIRES US
UNDERSTANDING HOW MUCH WATER WE
HAVE.
WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE WATER
CYCLE IS A LOT AND SWOT WILL
PROVIDE THAT.
>> I AM EDRIK DAVIS AND
INTEGRATION TECH EN NER AT JPL.
STUDIED THE WORLD'S RIVERS.
>> SWOT IS EARTH ORBITING
SATELLITE THAT STANDS FOR
SURFACE WATER OCEAN TOP PRF IF
I.
SWOT WILL MAKE MEASUREMENTS OF
WATER SURFACE ON THE OCEAN AND
ALSO ON THE LAKE AND RIVERS OF
ENTIRE GLOBE THIS WILL BE A
REVOLUTION AROUND RELATIONSHIPS
AND SWOT WILL BE THAT PRIG
ACROSS THE WORLD.
SWOT IS BEING JOINED I HELP FROM
CANADA.
AND REALLY NICE TO KNOW THE
SYSTEM WOE ARE BUILDING WILL
COLLECT DATA TAT THAT WILL HELP
PEOPLE.
I THINK FOON HI I FOUND A
MEANING ALL THE RESEARCH.
I BELIEVE SWOT WILL BECAUSE WE
ALL NEED WATERMENT NOW MORE THAN
EVER WATER CONNECTS US ALL.
IT MAY BE THE ONE THING THAT
UNITES US ALL.
WE GEL WELL TOGETHER.
WE DREM.
IN IF HE NEARS MAKE THE SCIENCE
FICTION DREAM COME TRY AND CO EK
OFLY WE MAKE THE NASA MAGIC THAT
ENABLES DISCOVERIES FOR THE GOOD
OF HUMANITY.
>> MADGE EK IN DEED.
WE WANT TO SHOW HOW SOME OF
SWOT'S TECHOLOGY WORKS BUT TO DO
THAT WE HADED TO GO TAP NA THE
ATHLETIC SKILLS FOR ONE.
TAKE A LOOK.
>> ALL RIGHT.
IN ORER TO LEARN MORE ABOUT SWOT
WE VERY TO PLAY LITTLE BASS CAN
HE PAL F. RIGHT.
HE ARE TOOING TO EXPLAIN HOW THE
HEART OF THE SWOT MISSION WORKS
WHICH HE ISES A NEW IN TRUEMENT
AND WHICH WE LOVINGLY CALLED
KAREN.
SO KAREN HAS TWO AND CONTINUE
NAS THAT ARE RATE FOR A TEN
METER BECOME AND ONE OF THE AND
TENS TRANSMITS A SIGNAL THATNESS
BO BACK THEATER'S SR. FIS THEN
RECEIVES BY TWO.
THEN A LITTLE BIT DEA LAID AND
OUT OF SINGH NOW USES THE
INFORMATION TO COMPUTE THE
DISTANCE WEN THE SATELLITE AND
THEth'S SURFACE AND CALL YOU
CAN LATE THE WITH AER HEIGHT SO
SEE HOW WE CAN EXPLAIN WITH IT A
BASS CAN HE APPROXIMATELY.
STAND SIX FEET AWAY FROM ME.
IT IS HERE PRETTY GOOD IF THIS
IS FER EK IF.
WE'LL WITNESS THE BALL.
JUST LIKE SWOT SATELLITES BONSES
BETWEEN TWO ANTENNAS.
OK.
>> WHAT ARE WE.
>> ING HERE NOW SNO WE ARE
SEEING HOW THE BALL WHICH IS THE
RATE OF BEAM BONSES EVER
THEth'S SURFACE THEN KNOW
THE RANGE THE DISTANCE AND WE
COME PLOT THE HEIGHT OF THE WITH
AER SURFACE SO THE OCEAN IS NOT
A FLAT SURFACE.
THERE IS WAVES LOOK HOW DO YOU
CALCULATE THAT INTHAT IS RIGHT.
LET'S BRING A BOX.
>> OK.
IF YOU NOTICE WHEN THE WATER IS
A LITTLE BIT HIGHER THAT THE
B
THE TELEMETRY AND OPEN A NEW
AWAY OF OBSERVING THEth'S
QUARTER HEIGHT SO YES IS A
PIVOTAL MOMENT AND VERY EXCITED
ABOUT IT.
YEAH.
YES.
LOOK YOU MENTIONED BEFORE THE
SCIENTIFIC HART OF SWOT
SATELLITES THE KA BAND RADAR OR
KAREN AND SHALL HOUR ALSO HAVE
HE HEIGHT OF WITH AER ON THE
ETHER.
JAS MACHINE IS LIVE AT THE
LOOK'S NOSE LEARN MOUR ABOUT HOW
IT WAS BUILT.
>> THAT IS RIGHT.
WE ARE BACK AT THE HACK'S NEST
JOIN PEE THE LEAD SYSTEM EN HER
FOR THE KAREN IN TRY AM ON SWAT.
WELCOME.
HI.
WE ARE SO GLAD TO YOU HAVE HERE.
THE LAUNCH LIT UP THE SKY.
WHAT DID YOU THINK IT WAS
IMPRESS.
REALLY IM PREEMPRESSIVE.
WAS.
IT WAS BUTTE.
YOU WORKED ON THE IN TRUE.
CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT SETS THAT
APART FROM OTHER INSTRUMENTS?
S SO CARN.
NASA HAS LAUNCHED RADARS BEFORE
TO STUDY THE OCEAN FROM SPACE
BUT KAREN IS A VERY SPECIAL
TYPE.
IT IS ARE A ARE DAR THAT MEAN
THE SIG TELL THAT HIMSELF BOS
OFF THE EARTH IS RECEIVED SIM
TAN OSLY BAY TWO ANTENNAS.
AND THE TWO ANTENNASES ARE
SEPARATE BY LONG DISTANCE ABOUT
HALF THE SIZE OF THE TENNIS
COURT AND THEY HAVE TO BE
POSITIONED VERY PREASSESLY SO EF
VERIES LIKE MICROMETERS SO
TALKING ABOUT THE WIDTH OF A
HAIR SO YOU CAN AM GIN A LOT OF
COMPLEXITY TO THE MISSIONS BUT
IS THAT TECHNOLOGY THAT ENABLES
THE RES LUGS AND THE ACCURACY
THAT WE ARE EXPECTED ACHIEVE OF
THE EARTH.
ROOTING.
WE ARE SEEN THISES IN A
RESCISSION WE NEVER HAD BEFORE
WHICH IS EXCITING AND COMPLEX SO
ANY CHAL LEPS THAT YOUR TEAM
WILL FACE WHILE CREATING.
>> YES.
WITHIN I TOLD YOU BEFORE ABOUT
CAN CALL POSITION WE NEED TO
HAVE AND TWO ANTENNAS AND WE
ALSO HAVE VERY HIGH-POWER AND WE
NEED ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF POWER TO
K ABLE GET THAT SIG TELL BACK TO
THE SAT LATE FROM THE EARTH AND
THAT IS DETECTABLE PI THE RADAR
AND THAT LEVEL OF POWER AT OUR
FREQUENCY FROM SPACE IS TECH NO
HODGE CALL ACHIEVEMENT THEN VERY
WITH RATE MATCHES THE AMOUNT OF
DATA OVER 60 OF DATA EVERY DAY.
WEED TO REDUCE SO THAT IS
MANAGEABLE THEN WE CAN DOWN LINK
IT THE GROUND AND FOR THAT WE
ARE DOING UNIQUE SIGNAL
PROCESSES IN THE RADAR IN SPACE.
>> RIGHT.
IT REALLY IS.
YOU AND YOUR TEAM HOWLED BE
HAPPY AND YOU YOURSELF HAVE BEEN
WORK ON THIS FOR A DECADE AND
HOW DOES IT FEEL YOU KNOW?
I KNOW THE LAST FEW WEEKS CAN BE
A RACE TO THE FINISH LINE.
WHAT IS IT LOOK THAT YOU SAW
THIS LAUNCH WELL, FOR ME, SEEING
MY PROJECT SINCE I STARTED AT
JPL AND OVER 16 YEARS.
NOW WOE ARE GETTING DATA TAT
FROM SPACE WE NED TO MAKE SURE
THAT THE DATA IS VALID AND IT
HAS THE ACCURATE SY WE ARE
EXPECTING THEN GOING TO BE A
VERY DIFFICULT CRITICAL BUY
ITSELF.
RIGHT.
THIS IS JUST BEGINNING.
THANKS SOP FOR END JOG US.
THANK YOU.
>> BACK TO YOU.
>> HOW.
HOW CAN WE SEE WATER FROM SPACE?
ARE A HI MARK.
NASA CAN SEE DIFFERENT ASPECTS
OF WATER FROM SPACE.
WE CAN SEE HOW HOT THE SURFACE
TEMPERATURE OF THE WITH AER IS
AND HOW SALTIES THE WATER AND WE
CAN SEE HOW HEAVY THE MASS OF
WATER AND GRAVE TY AND WE COULD
OR SEE THE VOLUME OR THE HEIGHT
OF WATER WITH SATELLITES LIKE
SWOT FOR EXAMPLE AND SEE LIQUID
WATER AND FROZEN WATER LOOK SEA
ICE AND SEE THE WATER WITH IN
THE ATMOSPHEREMENT YEAH.
WE CAN SEE DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF
WATER.
GOOD QUESTION.
SO MACHINE HI WAY THEN WE SEE
SOCIAL MODE YA QUESTIONS COMING
IN.
>> WE HAVE HOW MANY TIMES PER
DAY WILL SWOT ORBIT THE EARTH?
>> SO ON AVERAGE, WITH'S NOMINAL
IS 21 A DAY.
>> OK.
ANOTHER WITHIN NOW.
HOW ACCURATE IS THE EQUIPMENT
WHEN MASH SHORING THE CURRENT
SEA LEVEL FROM SPACE?
>> WE ARE TARGETING ACCURACY OF
SEA LEVEL MEASUREMENTS WERE
SPACE.
WHICH IS TRULY BREAKTHROUGH AND
IMPROVE AM OF WHAT WE ARE
CURRENTLY DOING F. YES.
YOU ARE DOING A DAD JOB ANSWER
THE QUESTIONS THEN ANOTHER ONE
COMING IN FOR YOU.
>> WHAT IS OCEAN TOP GRAPHY?
HOW DOES IT WORK WITH SWOT?
>> WITH, THINK OF IT AS OCEAN
TOPOGRAPHY LIKE MOUNTAINS AND
RALLIES LOOK I WAS DRIVING HERE
FROM LAX.
LIKE ON THE GROUND YOU CAB SEE
ON THE OCEAN SURFACE I THINK OF
IT AS WELL.
>> GREAT EXPLANATION.
WE HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION FOR
YOU, TOO.
LET'S GET TO THIS ONE AND WILL
YOU BE ABLE TO TELL HOW CLAN THE
WATER IS?
WE WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE THEM
WATER QUALITY AND THE CHEMICAL
COMPOSITION BUT MOSTLY FOLK
SEASON THE VOLUME STORAGE AND
THE HEIGHT OF THIS WITH AER WITH
SWOT.
OK.
SEE IF WE HAVE ANOTHER ONE FOR
YOU.
>> WE ARE.
SO WITH THOROUGHSING SEA LEVELS
WE DO SEE AM CLAUDEING THOSE
RELATED TO FLOODING SO WILL
CONTINUE THE LEGACY OF
PREDICTION OR FLOOD EVENTS
RELATED TO THE RISING OCEAN.
WILL THIS HELP DETERMINE HOW
MUCH DRINKABLE WATER IS
CURRENTLY AVAILABLE?
YES.
WE ARE TARGETING FRESH WATER AND
OUR RESERVOIRS IN LAKE AND OTHER
RESERVOIRS AND STORAGE THAT
CHANGE IN THEIR VOLUME AND
EXTEND YET DRINKING IN THE
AVAILABLE WATER FOR YOU.
YOU OFFERED GREAT IN SIGHT TO
SWOT.
THANK YOU.
>> NOW BEFORE SWOT DATA
RESEARCHERS COULD ONLY COLLECT
INFORMATION ON A FEW THOUSAND
RIVERS LIKES THEN MORE THAN ONE
MILLION.
HERE IS A K WILLING AT HOW THAT
KIND OF DATA CAN HAVE A HUGE
IMPACT ON PEOPLE'S DALLY LIVES.
>> SWOTS THE INTERNATIONAL SAT
LIT THAT GOING TO GIVE US
COMPLETE VIEW HERE ON THEATER
AND WHAT IS HAPPEN IN THE LOOK
AND RESERVOIRS AND REMEMBERS IN
THE OCEANS AND TELL US HOW SEA
LEVEL IS RISING THEN ALONG THE
COAST L.A.S THEN THE OPEN OCEAN
AND GIVE US GOOD UNDERSTANDING
OF HOW IT IS MOVING ABOUT THE
EARTH.
>> OUR GOAL IS TO PROVIDE DATA
AND FORECASTS AND WATCHES AND
WARPINGS THAT IS KEIKO LOCATIONS
LOOK THE WILLIAMETTE RIVER IN
PORTLAND IS WHICH IS A MAJOR
CITY THAT HAS SEEN SOME FLOODS.
THE WATER QUALITY OF THE DATA
TAT THAT WE HAVE THAT FEEDS INTO
OUR MODELS THE BTER THE
FORECASTS ARE GOING TO BE THE
MORE TIME THAT PEOPLE WILL HAVE
TO PROTECT THEMSELVES AND THIS
PROPERTY.
A TOOL LIKE WO SWOT WILL HELP US
TO MAKE PRODICTIONS FOR THE
FUTURE.
>> THIS IS ONE OF IN NY HERE IN
OREGON.
IT IS A HUMAN MADE LAKE.
IT IS RESERVOIR OPERATE THE ARMY
CORPS OF IN NEARS THE WATER
MANAGER HERE IS BEING USED BY
WEATHER PREDICTION AND MODELS IN
THE HOPE IS DATA LIKE SWOT MAY
BE IN CORN OPERATE IN TO HELP
THEM BETTER UNDERSTAND THIS AND
WE DON'T WANT TO OVERTAP AND
START LETTING WATER IT QUICKLY
THEY HAVE TO MAKE A LOT OF
COMPLICATED DEASES.
WE WANT TO KEEP THE COMMUNITY
SAFE IN THE PEST WAY WE CAN AND
HOW DO WE BEST MANAGE THE
RESERVOIRS IN TERMS OF PUTTING
WATER OUT DOWN TREAM TO PREVENT
FLOODING AT LARGER JAIL.
IN LOTS OF STATESES THERE ARE
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF
RESERVOIRS THEN MANY OF THOSE
RESERVOIRS DON'T HAVE AUTO
MATTED GUAMING AVAILABLE SO
THESE AGENCIES HAVE TOEST MATE
HOW MUCH WATER IS IN THE AND HOW
THAT IS CHANGING THEN WITH SWOT
THEY CAN MONITOR THAT DIRECTLY
FROM SPACE.
>> FOR US IN ALASKA WE HAVE
MONEY MANY RIVERS THEN ONLY A
FEW OF THEM ARE MEASURE THEN AS
WE SAY GAUGED.
THEN REALLY OPENS UP THE AMOUNT
OF RIVERS THAT WE CAN HELP
UNDERSTAND WHAT HAP PEP WHEN
THEY FLOOD OR HOW THEY FLOOD AND
THAT REALLY IMPROVES OUR ABILITY
TO MANAGE OUR INTRAK TURE AND TO
DESIGN STRUCTURE THAT IS WHERE
SWOT WILL MAKE A BIG DEF REPS.
ONE OF THE PARTNERS WE REWORKING
WITH HE IS THE DEPARTMENT OF
DEFENSE AND TRYING TO FILL GAPS
IN THE DATA TAT THEY THAT HAVE
ALONG THE CAST LOOPS.
OUR APPROXIMATELY TARY IS
CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPEN
ON GLOBAL SCALES ACROSS THE
GLOBE SO SWOT WILL PROVIDE A THE
OPPORTUNITY TO FILL IN THE GAPS
AND ALLOW THEM TO MAKE THE
IMPACT AC SEMS THEY NEED FOR SEA
LEVEL RISE AND UNDERSTANDING AND
GIVE THEM THES IN THEY NED TO
LISTEN FOR AND ADOPT TO THE
CHANGES IS REALLY CRITICALLY
IMPORTANT.
THE MESS MISS RIVER DELL TALL
ARE EX AM HI IMPORTANT BECAUSE
IT ACTS AS BUFFER TEN US AND THE
THREATENING OCEAN.
RIGHT AT THE COAST SO THIS IS
QUITE IMPORTANT BUS AS SEA LEVEL
RISES THE OCEAN WILL MY GRIT
INTO THE LAND BRINGING MORE SALT
INTO THE LAN SO THREATENS THE
INTRASTICK TURE AND THE WETLANDS
ALONG ALONG THE COST AND
HOPEFULLY THE TYPES OF MO MODELS
YOU ARE PRODUCING CAN DECIDE TO
MAN AGE THE RIVER DELL AND SWOT
ON THE OWN WELL ALLOW US TO
UPSCALE THE TYPES OF STUDIES TO
THE WORLD.
>> I AM EX XID ABOUT THE
INFORMATION WE GOT FROM SWOT.
I THINK WE CAN POTENTIALLY SEE
SOME IMMEDIATE IMPACT ON WITH'S
LAUNCH TO THESE COMMUNITIES.
>> SWOT IS BER NATIONAL
COLLABORATIVE EFFICIENT NOT ONLY
BETWEEN NASA AND CONTRIBUTIONS
FROM THE CANADIAN SPACE AGENCY
AND THE UK SPACE AGENT.
WELL HEAR IN A MOMENT.
JOINS NOW IS THE A AIDIAN SPACE
AGENCY.
THANK YOU FOR DOWN FROMMING US
TODAY.
>> THANK FOR HAVING ME.
GOOD MORNING.
>> WE ARE HAPPY TO WORK WITH OUR
INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS GONE ON
SOLVING ISSUE YOUS THAT MATTER
TO ALL OF US.
SWOT IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT
TO CANADA.
WE HAVE THE LONGEST SHORELINE ON
THE PLANET.
AND WE HAVE OVER ONE MILLION
LAKES AND IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO
MONITOR THE CHANGE OF THOSE
LOOKS OVER TIME.
SWOT IS GOING TO BENEFITS A AYIP
FOR WATER MANAGEMENT BUT WILL
SUPPORT HUMANITY IN THE FACE OF
CLAY MATE CHANGE.
REALLY IS INTERNATIONAL
EFFICIENT AS WE SAY.
IT IS CALLED THE EXTENDED
ATTRACTION STRONG BUILT BY CAN
DAN THE HIGH-POWERED AMLY FIRE
THAT WILL HELP THOSE BANDS
PRECISION MEASUREMENTS FOR
MEASURING THE SURFACE WATER AND
SO IN ADDITION TO THE DEVICE
THAT WE ARE CON PURCHASE BUTTING
WE HAVE SCIENCE RESEARCHERS THAT
ARE INVOLVED WITH THE SWOT
SCIENCE TEAM AND DEVELOPING THE
OBJECTS THEN ALSO WORKING TO
DEPLOY IN STREWS KEY SIGHTINGS
ACROSS CANADA.
YES.
WE ENJOY WORKING AND WHAT IS THE
SCIENCE USES.
AND USES THAT.
AND THAT SHORELINE NAVIGATE
OFGATION SERVICES TO A'S IN WHY
IS VERY IMPORTANT AND WHETHER
FORECARRING PORE CASTING AND
GOING TO BE VERY IMPORTANT AS
WELL AS WELL AS JUST MONITORS AS
I MENTIONED THE LAKES AND MAKE
SURE THAT WE THAT WE KEEP OUR
EYE ON THE LAKE MEAúMEREMENTS
THEN OUR VERY MUCHS ARE LOOKING
TO THE NORTH IN HELPING NORTHERN
COME IN TIES AS WELL SO WE ARE
TALKING ABOUT CLEAN WATER SIMPLY
AND WE ARE TALKING ABOUT WATER
MANAGEMENT FOR THE COASTLINES
FOR HYDROELECTRICITY I DO DO
WANT TO MANSION I AM SO EXXID
ABOUT WHAT THEY WILL DO WITH
OPEN DATA.
>> OK.
THE DATA AHEAD AND WANT TO KNOW
WHAT WAS LAUNCH LIKE FOR YOU
TODAY?
WELL, I WAS EXHILARATING THEN WE
HAD CHEERS AND EXCITE OUTSIDE
AND OUTDOORS THEN EXCITING FOR
ME AND TO SEE THE RETURN OF THE
BOOSTER.
NOW THE UK AGENCY WASN'T ABLE TO
BE ON THE SET WITH US BUT LEFT
THIS MESSAGE.
>> THE UK SPACE AGENCY HAS ON
PURCHASE BUD TO SWOT BY END AND
LIKE THE INDUSTRY TO BE A PART
OF THE MY NELED.
WE WERE APPROACHED TO BUILD THE
INSTRUMENT FOR THE MISSION AND
THED A COMPLEX BIT OF DIRE D
BUILD IN THIS HE UK WHICH IG SEG
NOETHEN AL THE RADAR PULSES AROD
THE INSTRUMENTS AND IN K THAT
BUILT.
THIS IN THE UK WE ARE FORTUNATE
TOT HAVE THE WORLD LEADING
SIRENS WHO UNDERSTAND BOTH THE
OCEAN AND HOW THE OCEAN MOVE AND
HOW SATELLITE CAN BE USED TO
MEAúMERE THAT.
IT IS REALLY EXCITING TO BE A
PART OF A BIG EúHAITING MISSION
AND TAKES LONG, LONG TIME TO
COME THROUGH TO A LAUNCH IN 2022
TO BE PART OF THAT JOURNEY ON
THE POLICY SIDE END BE A LENGTH
PEOPLE TO DO THE BEST OF BRITISH
UR
BRITISH SCIENCE IN PART OF A
HUGE GLOBAL WATER SR. FAY THAT
IS SO IMPORTANT FOR CHOW MATE
CHANGE AND ENOUGH TO MAKE A
DIFFERENCE TO WHAT WE UNDERSTAND
ABOUT OUR WORLD.
AGE. ALL RIG KE SWOT WILL MASH
FLOOR THEth'S WATER ON THE
GLOBAL WEATHER AND TAKE INTO
ACCOUNT HOW MUCH FRESH WATER
FLOWS IN AND OUT OF LAKE,
RIVERS, BACK TO HE OCEAN AND
ALSO LOOK AT SHIP AND SEA LEVEL.
YOU HAVE A DEMONSTRATION THAT
ILLUSTRATES THE IMPORTANCE OF
OUR WATER THAT INVOLVES A GALLON
OF WATERING HERE.
RIGHT.
WE WANTED TO LOOK A LITTLE BIT
OF THE WATER TOAGE WATER GOODEDO
ETH GO AND WATER CYCLE AND WE
PAM GOD THAT ALL OF THE WATER ON
UR
AND OF CLEAN WATER AND HOW THE
WITH AER MOVES.
THE OCEAN IS THE ULTIMATE SOURCE
OF ALL THE WATER.
IT COMES WERE THE OCEAN OR
RECYCLED FROM IT.
BUT SOME MAKES HE WHICH ON THE
LISTEN AND SOME IS STORED IN THE
ATMOSPHERE SO IF YOU DO A HALF
OF A JUG JUG OF LIQUID THAT
WOULD BE REPRESENTATIVE OF HOW
MUCH WATER ISOCON TEENED IN OUR
ATMOSPHERE.
OUT TOO MUCH RIGHT.
JUST A LITWANTE BIT.
BLUT A TD
LIQUID AND WILL LET YOU DO THE
MATH IN TERMS OF HOW MANY.
THAT MUCH WOULD BE
REPRESENTATIVE OF HOW MUCH
AVAILD
LAND.
ABOUT HALF PERCENT ONLY.
SO WE HHUANS DEPEND ON THIS
SUPPLY OF OCEAN TO LAN AND WE
HAVE DRUG TO LOOK YOU HAVE IN
CALIFORNIA THAT YOU EXPERIENCE
AND THE OCEAN S
SUPLY OF WATER IS
TOO MUCH WE GET FLOODS AND
INUNDATION JUST LIKE PEOPLE
ECOOKS ON THE EAST COAST.
SO THIS MOVEMENT AND SUPPLY
DEMAND CHAIN IN THIS
COMPLETENESS WOULD BE BY WIT WHO
LOOK YOU AND I SEEING IT IN THE
GALLON.
>> YETHE D.
WHAT IS TOO MUCH WATER COMES
BACK IF THE OCEAN AS YOU WERE
DESCRIBING?
>> YEAH.
>> WELL, THEN, OCEAN BECOMES
HIGHEIN P
THE VOLUME OF THE OCEAN RISES
YEAH.
>> HOW MUCH WOULD IT RISE?
>> WELL CURRENTLY WE ARE
OBSERVING ABOUT 3! 4-MILLIMETER
OF GLOBAL SEA LEVEL RISE.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT MAKES
SENSE.
IN GALLONS THAT WOULD BE BE
ABOUT 3-00 TRILLION OF GALLONS A
YEAR T.S THAT HOW MUCH WATER WE
ADD EVERY YEAR INTO THE OCEAN.
OK.
THAT IS A GIANT N HHBER HOW HOW
CAN YOU HELP PUT THAT TO SCALE.
CA WHA
REALIZE, WELL, IF YOU LINE UP
AND ALL OF THE JARS THEN YOU
WOULD CALLOER THE DISTANCE FROM
STAND AND BACK SO YEAH IT IS A
LITWANTE WATER.
THE SUN IS BACONS
>> YEAH.
>> INTERESTING.
WELUME THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THS
NOW TECH OL HOAGIE TRACKS
CHANGES IN WATER VOL HHE OVER
TIME YOU LOOK YOU MENNED THEN
GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF
THE ETHER'S WATER C GOLE AND CAN
BE USED TO HELP PREPARE FOR
RISING SEAS AND CHANGING
COASTLINES THEN LET'S LEARN MORE
ABOUT EARTH'S WATER.
IF ALL THAT WATER WAS IN SABLUEF
A SINGLE DROP IT WOULD BE
860 MILES WIDE AND OF COURSE IT
IS NOT.
'S WATER BUDGET TELLS US WHERE
THAT WATER IS AND WHAT FORM IT
TAKES.
SOME MASH SHORE THE GROUNDWATER
WHILE SWOT WILL ATHEN ALO FILL S
IN THE KNOWLEDGE BY MASH SHORING
FRESH WATTAPE POSSIBLE HD
TOGETHER THESE MISSIONS HELP
BRING THE NASA WATT OTHER BUDGET
AND C GOLE NA FOC OV.
SO NEXT TIME YOU FEEL A DROP OF
REASON ON THE FACE I G GIN ALL
THE PLACES THE WATER MAY HAVE
BEEN DURING THE LAST FEW BILLION
LD EARS WHERE IT MYING E
NEXT.
>> SPEAKING OF FAMILY LOOKS LIKE
WE HAVE A SPECIAL SIN P PRIN Y R
YOU IN.
OK.
OONS
HI NASA.
>> AM EIGHT YEARS OLD.
I AM IN WASHINGTON, D.C.
>> HI.
LD ES.
THIS IS KER RAR MY DAUGHTER SO I
HOPE YOU PARENTS WILL KOTHEP YOU
SAFE AND YOUR PUPPIES AS WELL.
WHEN YOU GROW UP BY 2050 I THINK
SEA LEVEL I BELIEVE WOULD BE
HALF METER HIGH IN WASHINGTON,
W. WHICH IS ABOUT 20-INCH OF
EXTRA WATER SO THAT WOULD BE
YOUR J> H TO KOTHEP YOUR P
SUPIES
SAFE AND ACTUALLY NASA HAS VERY
USEFUL TOOL WHERE WE COULD
DEMONSTRATE AND PREDI C1 O
LEVEL RISE 10, 90, 50 EVEN
1--YEARS FROM NOW.

WE HAVE SOCIAL QUESTIONS COMING
IN FOR YOU AS WELL.
THE FIRST ONE COMING UP HERE.
OK.
WHO DOESES WHAT M WHO D

YEAH.
NASA HAS BEEN LONGSTANDING
PARTNERS AND WORK FOR MORE THARO
30 YEARS ESPECIALLY FOR
SATELLITE TELEMETRY AND THIS
BLOTHEN THE RELATIONSHIP WEH.
BEEN DOING VERY STRONGLY AND
SSREPNG AND WHEN WE TALK ABOUT
COLLABORATION IT WAS TRULY
COLLABORATIVE EFFORT WHEN WE
WERE DOING BOTH TESTING AND
ENGINEERING AND OPINION POINTING
WATER BACK BETWEENMETEPL AND IN
FRANCE MULTIPLE TIMES SO BOTH
AGENCIES CONTROO MUTED MAJOR IN
TOF
>> THE QUESTIONS JUST KEEP
COMING IN IF.
WE HAVE ANOTHER SOCIAL QUESTION
FOR TO YOU ANSWER.
HOW LONG WILL SWOT BEP SPACE?
>> THE TIME LIEN IS THREE YEAR
SO WE GIVE A REASONABLE TIME
ECINE TO FULFILL IN NEARING
OBJECTIVES BUT LODGER THAN THAT
WOULD BEH.
FOR OUR VINE ISES TO USE DATA
PEYON THE TúTOOTHE YEARS.
>> MILEAT BOW F OVS.
LET'S GET THE NEXT SOCIAL
QUESTION.
ÃC1 O
W IS THE DATA SHARED?
IL WILL BE SOON BE WOKING WITH
THE FRENCH GALLOERNMENT TO SINGY
THE LINK BETWEEN WATER MANAGE
PRESIDENT AND SPACE IN STRUCINGE
IT IS AN EXXING SUBG I C1 O
WELL, THANKMENT WE THINK SO,
TOO.
SO THIS IS DATA THAT WOULD BE
AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC THROUGH

SA AND DATA REVABLUERS AND NOT
J OVT THAT, WE ARE ACTUALLY
WELCOMING COMMUNITY TO HELP
IASSAS ARE DATE THE DATA PRIOR
TO THE OF RY OF DATA SET AND ARE
LAXPERMANENT THAT SANS
IENTIONED THAT WE ARE GOING
THROUGH IT AND NASA IS CALLED
OPEN SOONS THEN DEL OVTERING AND
SHARING PREVALIDATED DATA SETS
WITH THE SCIENCE COMMUEVA0 AND
ALL HANDS ON DECK AND YOU WANT
TO BE WORKING WITH TRA WE A TURS
THIS PERSON WHO ASKED THIS
QUESTION AND WELCOMES.
>> DATA FOR ALL TSTANTHANKS SO
MUCH.
WE STILL HAVE TIME TO DEBT YOUR

>> HELLO AGAIN, GUYS.
FROM INSIDE HERE AT RAN DENBERG
IN CENTRAL CALE
ACTUALLY SITTING NEXT WHERE TO
WHERE THEY ARE BECBTSE WE CAN
ECISTEN TO TON THE TEAM WHOE
TILL WORKING FOR LAWN SO ITS A
BLOTHEN A ABOUTOF

BLUREVANG RED HOT ANY MORE BECAE
IT HAS BEEN COASTING NOW RIGHT
O IOR 36EN MP M.
LD EAH.
WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW IS
T HILLING DONE THE IN GONE AS WE
TACKED ABOUT REALLYIER AND JUST
COOLING DONE THE IN GIN GETTING
TO TEAK ON THOSE YOU

DEGREES SO YOU SEE IT NOW AND
T HILLING THE END GN DOWN AND
SSETTING READY FOR SECOND ENGINE
START AND THIS BURN IS DREPNG TE
O IINAL ORBIT ADJ OVTMENTS E
GETTING TO SPACECRAFT SEPARATION
SO HAPPEEVANG NOW AND WE SHOULD
HEAR THE STAGE.
>> SO WE SAW A MAP THERE THAT IS
ARE A O YACK I THAT IS SHOWING
WHERE STAGE TWO IS.
ING NOW ISMETE OVT SOUTH OF SOUH
AFRRESIA ALONG THE COAST OF
ANTARCTICA SO TRAVELED PRETTY

>> AS SOON AS WE GET THE RANGE
OF THAT THE IN GIN WILL START UP
AGAIN THEN SHORTLY AFTER THAT IT
IS HARD TO BE SINGT WE A ON THEH
END OF THE AFRICAN CONTENT IN
SOUTH AFRRESIA SO THE GROUND

SPACECRAFT SEPARATION.
SOL AHEREIN WE ARE WE HEAD TO TS

ALL RIGHT WE SEE THE END DEN
ECYING NOW THE SECOND BURN E
SECOND STAGE.
STILL CARQUING SWOT.

BLOTHEN AT YIT FOR SIX MONTHS D
THE S.W.A.T. TEAM WORK ON THIS
O IOR MANY YEAR THEN TúTOILR
EXCITING MISSION TO COME OF
T OURSE WE STILL NOTHED THAT
ACQUISITION OF SIG FELL AND NOT
GETTING AHAD OF OURSELVES BUT SO
HAPPY BECBTSE THIS IS THE PLAN
MET WE CARE THE MOST.
HO MUCH WORK IS DEVOTED TO
ING EARTH?
IT MOTHERS THAN PEOPLE THINK
N
PEOPLE KNOW US FOR COOL MARS
RECOVERS AND HELICOPTER THEN
OH ISITINGMETE YIITER AND WONDEL
TELESCOPES THAT LOOK INTO DEEP
SPACE AND WE D
SPACE AN THAT BUT WITH
THE LBTNCH OF SWOT WE HAVE 15
EARTH SCIENCE MISSIONS CURRENTLY
OPERATES DEDRESIATED MISSIONS OR
BIG INSTRUMENT ON OTHER
INSTRUMENT THEN A LOT OF.
>> S ON EARTH WHEN AREA OF WE DO
SOMETHING WE WANT IT TO BE
ADVANCED SO WE ARE ALWRATIS THE
ONES TRYING TO PUSH THE ON
BOUNDARIES OF WHAT IS P.W.SIBLE
AND WHAT SWOT GOING TO DO AND
WHOLE NEW WAY OF, SHORING
LAARTH'S WATER AND WE WANT TO
PUSH THE UPON DYES WITH AL THE
15 MINAQ THEN WE GOT ABOUT 7 MOE
THAT WE ARE WORKING ON.
>> THOUGH NEXT SEVEN MISS THAT
LD OU MENTION.
LD EAACK
FOUR WILL LAUNCH IN THE NEXT
CO YILE OF YEARS THE FIRST TúTOE
ARE FARLEY SMALL ACTUALLY SMALL
MISSIONS BUT HAVE FOC OVED

REALLY IMPORTANT.
THE THION.
GOING TO WORK ON METHANE SUPER

EXPEDITING SO ALL THREE KIND OF
SMALLP WITAQ BUT THE NEXT REALLY
BIG EARTH SCIENCE MISSION ON THE
SCALE OF IT MOT IS A MISSION WHI
C
IS COLLABORATION MIS'S FIRST
MAJOR COULD LAB OPERATION WITH
THE INDIAN SGENCE AGENCY SO SO
EXCITING.
IT IS REALLY GREPNG TO BE A PIGS
THAT IS GREPNG TO TEACH US

NOW WE SEA A GOOD VIDEO THERE OF
THE SWOT SIN CCEO YRESIAT ALONGP
AND THERE IS ANOTHER CYCLING
THROUGH OF THE ENGINE.
SO YEAACK
ONCE WE GET TO THE POINT WHERE
WE SEPARATION OPLURS THEN
CAL OPW
THAT AND NOW THERE IS A SLIGHT
T HANCE WE MRATI GET ACQUISITION
SIGNAL THE SPACECRAFT AT THAT
POINT AND TIME BUT THAT IS THE
PRIMAQU OSIOORINGTR UNTY TO GET.
YOU WERE MENTIONING A GROUND
STATION THERE.
IT IS BECAUSE WHEN WHEN THE
SPACECRAFT SEPARATES THE FALCON
SECOND STAGE WE WANT TO MAKE
SURE WE KNOW WHERETTE IS.
WE DO THAT BY USING THE GROUND
STATION.
RIGHT.
CORRECT.
THE MILOUND STATION IS WHAT IS
CAPTURING THE VIDEO ARE SEEING

'S GET TO THE NEXT QUESTION.
>> THERE IS MORE WATER THE AT HE
IS ORS.RESIER ON EARTH THAN THEE
IS ALL OF THE SR. FIS OCEAN ON
THE EARTH?
WHAT AMOUNT IS UNKNOWN CURRENTLY
THEY ARE ASKING YOU TOUGH
.
YES.
I THINK MAYBE THEY ARE EXCITED
WITH THE DHATONSTRATION SO MOST
OF HE WATER IS LOCATED IN THE
OCEAN.
AND OO HY TINY PORTION OF THE
