>> Good morning.
And welcome to a view of the
international space station
flight control room at NASA's
johnson space center.
You are WATCHING the light
control team members as they
keep an eye on the space station
systems and stand by to work on
the expedition 65 crew members.
The station crew members got
a new commander this week and
three new crew mates.
Two are on the commercial
contract with plans to shoot
scenes for a movie.

>> Welcome to space to ground.
There is a lot of change on
boardLET iss with new crew
arriving and others preparing to
leave.
>> You have been an amazing crew
mate.
And you are going to be a superb
commander.
CONGRATULATIONS.
>> On Monday October 4, the
ASTRONAUT took control of the
space station.
In the traditional change of
command CEREMONY.
He is the fourth European
ASTRONAUT to command the iss and
the first French ASTRONAUT to
hold the position.
He will remain at as commander
until November where he will
pass the command role over
before he returns with his crew
mates o. Tuesday the crew on
board the space station welcome
three new three mates when the
hatches open for the latest
mission to the orbiting lab.
Three and a half-hours after its
launch the soyuz ship docked at
the station's module.
On his fourth flight into space

joined by participanting making
their first flightS INTO space.
They will film segments for
a movie titled challenge under
a commercial agreement.
Last week NASA and Spacex set

>> The international space
station is well-known as an
orbiting LABORATORY.
Its mission also includes
prepare us for future
EXPHRORation, improving life
down here on earth and urging
commercialization of space.
One of the great success stories
is a product called cube sAcs.
think of the international space
station and most likely you
imagine an orbiting LABORATORY
with scientists observe where
plants, materials and humans
react to micro gravity
CONditions.
In the past decade it has served
a different role, that of being
a business incubator.
THIS is one of its star products
the cube sat.
it is one of many types of
satellites now found in space.
It is one of the smallest.
It is a compact 10 by 10 by
10-centimeter cube.
It can be deployed for
a fraction of what its larger
cousins cost.
Early small SATELLITEs launched
from the station were thrown
into space by Russian
cosMONoughts.
Crew members began utilizing the
air lock in the Japanese module
and not long after the American
COMPANY built and began
operating a more robust deployer
on the station capable of
launching up to 48 u per cycle
that changed everything.
The manager of space station
business and economic
development at johnson space
center.
He remembers how a CUSTOMER
launched the CAPABILITies Aboard
of space station.
They wanted to take high
resolutioning PHOTOs of earth.
You can take PICTURES from the
space station your coverage is
limited.
With cube sates you can position
them to cover almost any point
on earth.
In a relatively short time they
deployed several generations
from the space station, proving
the viability of their
technology approach and their
business model.
With the successes, they
expandED TO an operational fleet
of over 150 satellites and it
gives them the ability to image
the entire earth's land mass
every day.
It is now in high demand by
COMPANies and governments to use
this big data in the fields of
agriculture, foresty, mapping
and disaster response.
Within a decade the COMPANY has
grown from a true START UP to
employing nearly 500 people.
Multiple companies are now
building small launch vehicles
specifically to deploy cube
sates and other small SATELLITEs
into low earth orbit.
The companies as well as
students and non-profit
organizations.
They are used to provide
internet services to the most
remote places on the planet.
They are building better weather
and climate models to improve
weather forecasting.
They are ENABELING text
messaging for your phone, AROUND
the globe and even without
a cell signal.
They are also leaving the plan
E. the first and SECOND inter

Some missions will serve as
PATHFINDERs to map the way for
the Artemis MISSIONs to the
moon.

mission Artemis one.
It concludes with this
OBSERVATION today more and more
a single large and exopinionsive
SATELLITE is being replaced by
one of the newest members of the
SATELLITE portfolio.
A flock of small, less expensive
and powerful cube sates.
It has broadens CAPABILITies
that was never envisions but it
has enabled them to be
a sustained commercial success
CONtributing SIGNIFICANTly to
the growing space market place.

>> The effort to design and
produce the hardware we'll need
to explore the moon on Artemis
missions isn't restricted just
to NASA ENGINEERs and
scientists.
We have a program designED TO
reach out for the particular
expertise of today's college
students for their help in
developing the software and
technology that will be needed
to create those new tools.
Take a look at what the program
is doing not only for
EXPLORATION but for student
education.
NASA is building exciting new
technologies to help ASTRONAUTs
EXMORE the moon and it is
tapping into the UNIQUE
perspective of today's college
students.
To CONtribute research to the
new tools.
today is test day.
NASA ENGINees are helping
evaluate software designed by
students.
The task is to see how the
technology can help during
a space MISSION.
The culminING A of the hard
work.
>> It is space suit user
interface technologists for
students.
We have students design graphic
user interface for the suit
helmet bubble.
AdS up display would be fairly
far out from your face.
So maybe a couple feet or
further.
What the student, using is a
head-mounted display.
We have refer to that as the
heads on like it is on the head.
And it is only maybe a half-inch
or so away from the eyes and
they wear it like goggles.
It allows them to not only see
the real environment in front of
them or around them, but also it
over lays text or imagery in
front of their eye so they see
that on top of the real
environment.
ZOO seeing both the graphic over
lays and the real environment is
called AUGMENTed reality.
The challenge for the STUDENTS
is to use this technology to
help during one of the most
difficult tasks encountered by
humans in space.
>> An eva or extra vehicular
activity a fancy word for space
walk can a crew member leaving
their vehicle, spacecraft in
a pressurized suit.
E, va's if you ask an ASTRONAUT
they are much like doing brain
SURGERY and running a marathon
at the same time.
What we do with suits is
simulating this intense eva
environment and introduce an
AUGMENTed reality display in
harmony with the audio feed that
comes over the loop from mission
control.
>> ASTRONAUTs today don't have
AUGMENTed reality visible inside
the spaceEL ELTs they rely on
train, mission control and in
some cases a small bookLET known
as a cuff check list should they
need more information.
The suits project challenges the
students to look forward and
wonder what if ASTRONAUTs could
access data using this
technology?
What would it look like?
>> Suits is an aweSOME program
and ask teams to create a user
interface.
It can be virtual reality or
AUGMENTed reality.
The goal is to basically build
a tool that ASTRONAUTs can use
when doing space operations.
>> Students come up with ideas
that run the gamut of eva
activity such as operating
complex equipment, cataloging
a lunar sample or navigating to
a remote location.
>> Our main goal was to build
a minimalistic and unobtrusive
interface that is easy to use
and use hand gestures and voice
command to control the eva
system.
>> NASA mentors and academia
sponsors help the student
achieve their goalS.
>> I would like to say we riled
each other up positively in the
sense we were able to achieve
greater things because we would
say hey, what if we do this or
do that or wouldn't it be
aweSOME if we do this?
We were positively reinforcing
each other's interest.
>> They try out their ideas in
a simulated space walk so that
they and the students see what
works and what needs tweaking.
It's a unique educational
experience.
>> We had ISSUEs while testing,
it is cool to see it being
tested.
My favorite part of working with
the team is everyone is trying
to learn and share what they
know.
We all come from different
majors and backgrounds.
BY THE end of the cycle everyone
knew a little bit about
programming.
>> It helps interpersonal
schools to work within a team
and improve being technical
COMMUNICATION amIN can talk
about systems and software.
Helping me be more -- it is
great to see them grow.
IT is great to see them
collaborating with each other,
collaborating with subject
matter experts to make designs
more effective or more
EFFICIENT.
>> The research gathered in
suits benefits NASA too as it
develops its own designs for
possible graphic displays.
It's future forward work that is
needed now.
>> When I ENTERed the field of
AUGMENTed reality for eva
displays were was one paper I
could reference.
What suits provides to the
ENGINEERs at NASA is the ability
to EXMORE many different designs
to explore many concepts and
really have a think tank, if you
will, for what the future of the
displays look like.
>> All the hard work, testing
and learning points to
a brighter future using this
technology.
>> It is an Amalgamation of
doing something I love and also
seeing the VALUE that would come
off of it.
And I think that's the same for
most of my peers as well.
You could see real genuine
passion working on this.
We really want this to work.
We really want tech and space
EXPLORATION and that was
fulfilling to me and the team as
well.
>> Building this software for
these display system like giving
the crew members super powers
and something I love about it,
but also getting to engage with
academia and the talent we have
in academia and in universities.
That is what we need to see and
the creativity that comes from
it to make these tools the best
they can be.
With NASA suits we want to see
your vision.
>> Your vision.
This is NASA suits and we want
to see your vision.
>> International space station
crew members spend some of their
time on station TPHAEUPBTinance
some on science activities and
other experience flying on space
including STUDENTs studying
science, technology and math.
In this video expedition 65's
SHANE Kimbrough talks about how
ASTRONAUTs use their senses in
space and how they adapt TO BE
in weightlessness.
♪MUSIC PLAYING♪
>> Hello, I am shame Kimbrough
and I'm an ASTRONAUT living and
working on the international
space station.
In this demonstration I'll talk
about the five main senses we
have and how we use them up here
on the station.
Let's go check them out.
As humans we have five senses
that let us observe the world
around us.
They are sight, taste, smell,
hearing and touch.
Our senses help us determine
whether or not we like something
but also warn us if something is
wrong.
Sometimes our senses pick up
very good things like the smell
of fresh baked cookies or taste
of yummy pieces a. other times
our senses may warn us of
DANGER, the smell of something
burning or feeling of something
hot.
Let's go through the five senses
and talk about what we may
observe with them up here on the
station.
>> Sight.
>> The sense of sight ALLOWS US
TO see the world AROUND us or in
my case, space.
One wayy ON use sight is look at
different experiments and record
the results back to earth.
Some notice their sight changes
after living Aboard micro
gravity.
SCIENTIST, conducting research
on here on ASTRONAUTs like me.
Our sense of taste comes from
our TONGUE and it tells our
brain what kind of food and
NUTRIENTs we are putting into
our body.
We can tell if something is
super sweet or salty because of
this.
Sometimes ourinoses can be a bit
stuffy and it is harder to taste
food.
So lots of us love to add hot
sauce to many of our meals to
amplify the taste.
Just like with taste, sometimes
our sense of smell can change as
the liquids in our body move
around.
Once our bodies have adjust *RBG
micro gravity has a diSTEUFRBG
smell.
In terms of hearing inside the
international space station
there is constantinize from the
different machines that keep our
air flowing and experiments
running.
Our sleeping quarters block some
of the noise so we can get
a good night's sleep each night.
What do you think you would hear
outside the space STPHAEUGZ you
better be wearing a space
constitute so you can hear the
fan noises in the space suit.
If you are able to be outside of
that space suit you would hear
absolutely nothing because sound
cannot travel in space because
it has no air to travel through:
When you think of touch you
think of observing how things
feel with your fingers.
Since we are flowing we have to
touch and grab on to objects
using our hands or our feet.
CAN YOU use your feet to walk up
here if you carefully hook them
under hand rails as you go.
This is knowledge whiching we
like to use our hands more than
our feet.
We will use our happeneds to
move Along and carry objects
with our legs.
Thank you for learning about the
five main senses with me today.
Start thinking about your five
senses and how they help you
observe and adapt to your
environment down on earth.
See you next time.
>> The international space
station provides a spot to keep
an eye on the changes occurring
here on the planet.
It turns out it does more than
that.
CosMONout, a member of
expedition 1 more than 20 years
ago and later commander of
expedition 11 says the more than
800 days spent in space over his
whole career helped him develop
his perspective on the power of
humage beings from all over the
planet working together in
space.
>> I think good -- I thought wow
that is probably interesting
thing to spend my life on.
first in orbit you feel
weightlessness and I remember
LOOKING outside I was amazed to
see it and before that although
we knew we are on the globe but
you see the earth and that was
a surprise.
I knew it, but to see with your
own eyes and a thin LAYER of
ATMOSPHERE protecting us.
That is another interesting
experience.
When you look down you have
a blue filter and it makes all
COLORs actually not distinct.
Green is not so green.
It is more like bluish green.
Blue is more blue because we
have more blue from ATMOSPHERE.
We have really bright COLORs
during SUNrise and SUNset.
We have a lot of brightness and
a lot of COLORs.
when you get down you realize it
is more difcull to find things
on the surface than on the maps.
On the maps vuBORDERs.
In space you have no BORDERs and
only nature.
River, mountainses, beach, water
and forest.
You start to understand in many
cases our separation on the
earth is more artificial.
We are living on the same
surface.
You start to feel we are more
united.
on the ground we live in
a different country with
different view on something but
being in space we all exposed to
harsh environment.
We all have about the same
motivation to go up and majority
of us I would say all of us in
space start to care about
environment, about earth about
people on earth.
You start to feel
[INAUDIBLE]
We live on the same earth with
the same station and spacecraft
flying through the space and we
have joint problems together.
Environmental, technical,
philosophical sometimes.
We solve them together.
That's the best way to help
today.
I think what we do in space and
what we do together is a good
example of how people need to
live on the ground.
I know people sometimes argue,
no good reason for that.
Again, especially in harsh
environment you rely on each
other and try to help each
other.
That's how we live in space and
that's probably can be a good
example for people on the
ground.
I'm happy all this political
doesn't affect us too much.
We keep this area protected and
keep the good example to show
maybe politicians and maybe
other people in my country, your
country showing that that's
really how we need to live.
