GOOD MORNING AND WELCOME TO
MISSION CONTROL HOUSTON.
THAT IS A LIVE VIEW INSIDE OF
THE FLIGHT CONTROL ROOM LOCATED
INSIDE OF THE JOHNSON SPACE
CENTER.
YOU SEE THE ORBIT TEAM KEEPING A
CLOSE EYE ON THE SPACE STATION.
IN ADDITION TO THEIR USUAL
RESEARCH AND STATION
MAINTENANCE, IT IS CRAMPED FULL
OF ALL SORTS OF IMPORTANT
ACTIVITIES BOTH INSIDE AND
OUTSIDE OF THE SPACE STATION.
WELCOME TO SPACE TO GROUND HERE
IN JORDAN.
WEEK THEY VENTURED OUTSIDE OF
THE SPACE STATION FOR A
SPACEWALK.
COMMANDER OLEG KONONENKO AND
ALEXEY OVCHININ CONDUCTED THE
FOURTH SPACEWALK OF 2019 AFTER
HEADING OUT THE AIRLOCK, THE DUO
SET OUT TO INSTALL HANDRAIL ON
THOSE RUSSIAN SEGMENTS RETRIEVE
SCIENCE EXPERIMENT AND CONDUCT
MAINTENANCE WORK.
TWO COSMONAUTS PAID TRIBUTE TO
ALEXEY LEONOV.
LEONOV WAS THE FIRST HUMAN TO
CONDUCT THE SPACEWALK ON
MARCH16th, 1965, DURING THE
MISSION WHEN HE EXITED THE
SPACECRAFT FOR 12 MINUTES.
IMPORTANT SCIENCE BEING
CONDUCTED IN MICROGRAVITY IS
GETTING READY TO COME BACK.

HOME.
SOME OF WHICH REPLICATES THE
STRUCTURE AND THE FUNCTION OF
HUMAN ORGANS BUT WHEN THEY ARE
THE SIZE OF A THUMB DRIVE, IT
MAKES IT A BIT EASIER TO FIT.
TISSUE CHIPS ARE TINY DEVICES
THAT CONTAIN HUMAN CELLS IN A 3D
MATRIX TO HELP SCIENTISTS STUDY,
RESPOND TO STRESSES, DRUGS,
GENETIC CHANGES AND
MICROGRAVITY.
CHIPS SPECIALIZED TO LOOK AT
BLOOD BRAIN BARRIER,
MUSCULOSKELETAL DISEASE AND
KIDNEY FUNCTION CAN BE TESTED ON
THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION
TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS TO THE
ORGANS IF YOU TAKE AWAY GRAVITY.
TISSUE CHIPS WILL BE ON THE

PREPARING THE HARDWARE OUT TO
SPACE IS ONLY PART OF THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION'S
MISSION OF PREPARING FOR NASA'S
FUTURE FLIGHTS OF EXPLORATION.
SCIENTISTS ARE USING THE STATION
TO FIND WAYS TO PROTECT HUMAN
EXPLORERS FROM THE NEGATIVE
EFFECTS OF BEING IN
WEIGHTLESSNESS THAN THE

LONG TRIPS TO DEEP SPACE
INCLUDING THE GALACTIC COSMIC
RADIATION THAT COMES FROM

>> ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES
ON THE MISSION TO MARS IS
PROTECTING THE CREW FROM
RADIATION.
YOU CANNOT SEE IT.
YOU CANNOT FEEL IT.
YOU DON'T KNOW THAT YOU ARE
GETTING BOMBARDED BY RADIATION.
BUT WE DO HAVE OPERATIONAL
SYMMETRY AND CREW PERSONAL
METERS WHERE WE CAN MEASURE IT.
SPACE RADIATION COMES FROM THREE
MAJOR SOURCES.
ONE IS THERE ARE RADIATION
PARTICLES TRAPPED AROUND THE
EARTH AND THEY ARE CALLED THE
RADIATION BELTS.
THE SECOND SOURCE OF RADIATION
IS FROM THE SUN.
DURING TIMES OF INTENSE SOLAR
ACTIVE THAT COULD BE SOLAR
STORMS AND HIGH FLUXES OF
RADIATION PROTONS AND REACH
EARTH.
THE THIRD SOURCE OF RADIATION IN
SPACE IS CALLED GALACTIC COSMIC
RADIATION AND THAT IS THE ONE
THAT IS OF MOST CONCERN FOR A
MISSION TO MARS.
THE GALACTIC COSMIC RAYS COME
WERE EXPLODING STARS WE CALL
SUPERNOVAS.
I THINK THE COMMON
MISCONCEPTIONS IS HOW DIFFERENT
IT IS FOR R THE TYPE OF
RADIATION WE HAVE HERE ON EARTH.
SO HERE ON EARTH, WHEN YOU THINK
ABOUT SITTING DOWN IN A DENTIST
CHAIR.
THEY PUT SOME KIND OF LED
BLANKET ON THE CHEST TO STROKE
YOU AGAINST X-RAYS.
IN SPACE, IT ACTUALLY IS
DIFFERENT.
WE DON'T WANT HEAVY BAITS MAKES
THE EXPOSURE WORSE AND THING
LIKE WATER AND POLYETHYLENE.
IN SPACE WE HAVE PARTICLE
RADIATION INSTEAD OF ELECTRO
MAGNETIC.
PART KILLS BASICALLY EVERYTHING
ON THE PERIODIC TABLE, HYDROGEN
UP THROUGH NICK HE'LL AND
URANIUM BUT MOVING AT SPEEDS
THAT ARE CLOSE TO SPEED OF
LIGHT.
SO THINKING ABOUT THE
DIFFERENCES OF SPACE RADIATION.
WE HAVE A LONG HISTORY, A DECENT
AMOUNT OF DATA ABOUT THE
BIOLOGICAL CONSEQUENCES OF
EXPOSURE TO TERRESTRIAL
RADIATION WHERE WE LACK DATA AND
HAVE A LARGE AMOUNT OF
UNCERTAINTY AS THE BIOLOGICAL
CONSEQUENCE OF SPACE RADIATION
AND SO REALLY THE NEXT STEPS
ARE, AND THE ONGOING STEPS ARE
TO UNDERSTAND THOSE MARKERS
BETTER AND THE BIOLOGICAL
CONSEQUENCES THAT FOLLOW THEM.
♪
>> UP THERE IN ORBIT THEY CAN
EXPERIENCE STRUCTURAL CHANGES TO
THE HEART DURING LONG DURATION
SPACEFLIGHTS.
WHAT AND HOW THAT CHANGE OH
COARSE IS NOT YET CLEARLY
UNDERSTOOD.
THAT IS WHY RESEARCHES ARE
INVESTIGATING CARDIOVASCULAR
STEM CELLS.
SO THEY CAN GET BETTER, THEY CAN
GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF
THE ROLE THE CELLS PLAY IN THE

IN RESPONSE SO THERE IS A LOT WE
CAN LEARN FROM THESE EXPERIMENTS
SO THE CURRENT LABORATORY HAS
BEEN STUDYING CELLS FIRE WHILE

WE ARE LOOKING AT DISPARITIES IN
THE RESPONSE OF CELLS CAN
OBTAINED FROM NEW NATO PATIENTS
VERSUS ADULT PATIENTS AND HOW
THAT EXISTED IN MOLECULAR LEVEL

CELLS USING THE SAME CLONES AND
WE ARE ABLE TO COMPARE THE TWO
RESULTS AND SEE IF WE CAN USE
MICROGRAVITY OR SOME TYPE OF
MICROGRAVITY-INSPIRED TREATMENT
TO HELP PROMOTE CARDIAC REPAIR.
WE'RE EXCITE FORDS THE
SPACEFLIGHT.
WE HAVE BEEN LEARNING QUITE A
BIT FROM THE SIMULATION AND WE
THINK THAT WITH THE SPACEFLIGHT
WE'RE ABLE TO TRULY EXTEND THE
OBSERVATION AND HOPEFULLY
PROMOTE CARDIAC REPAIR DEVELOPED
BY TISSUE AND EVEN ADVANCE THESE
INSIGHTS AND ANTICIPATING
TREATING ILLNESSES IN SPACE.
LEARNING MORE ABOUT RADIATION
THE OTHER ASPECTS OF THE
SPACEFLIGHT, THE INTERNATIONAL
SPACE STATION IS HELPING US KNOW
WHAT IT WILL TAKE TO MAKE THOSE
SUCCESSFUL JOURNEYS OUT TO THE
SOLAR SYSTEM ONE DAY.
LIKE TO THE MOON AND MARS AND
OTHER DESTINATIONS.
LEER A FEW EXAMPLES OF HOW THE
STATION IS BUILDING THOSE
MISSIONS OF THE FUTURE.
>> SO YOU WANT TO GO TO MARS?
HOW DOES NASA'S INTERNATIONAL
SPACE STATION HELP US EXTEND
HUMAN RESINS INTO DEEP SPACE?
IN THE FUTURE WHEN ASTRONAUTS
LAND ON MARS IT WILL BE
IMPORTANT LESSONS TO LEARN THIS
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION.
REWIND.
240MILES ABOVE THE EARTH THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION IS
WHERE WE LEAVE AND WORK IN
SPACE.
HERE IS WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED SO
FAR: FIRST THERE IS TAKING CARE
OF THE ASTRONAUTS PROLONGED
WEIGHTLESSNESS CAN LEAD TO
VISION LOSS, COORDINATION LOSS,
THANKS TO THE SPACE STATION,
COUNTER MEASURES ARE BEING
DEVELOPED TO KEEP ASTRONAUTS
HEAL THINK FOR LONG DURATION
MISSIONS.
THEN, THERE IS THE EQUIPMENT.
SPACECRAFT COMMUNICATION, WATER
RECYCLING, AIR AND POWER
PRODUCTION ARE ALL BEING TEST
DRIVEN THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE
STATION.
WHAT WE LEARN ABOUT OPERATING
AND MAINTAINING OUR GEAR IN THE
SPACE WILL PAVE THE WAY FOR
FUTURE MISSIONS INTO OUR SOLAR
SYSTEM.
AND THAT IS HOW THE STAYS
SPATIAL IS HELPING US EXTEND
HUMAN PRESENCE INTO DEEP SPACE.

STATION HAS THE BIG MISSION TO
SUPPORT FUTURE EXPLORATION TO

ALL OF THOSE GOALS COME TOGETHER
IN ONE PROGRAM.
WHICH USES THE STATION THE

♪ SMALL SATELLITE AND BIG
DISCOVERIES.
PRESENTED BY SCIENCE AT NASA.
REMEMBER THE OLD ADAGE, BIG
THINGS COME IN SMALL PACKAGES?
SPACE UPDATED IT IN THE FORM OF
CUBESATS.
I MAN GIN A REAL WORKING
SATELLITE THAT IS SO SMALL, YOU
CAN HOLD IT IN YOUR HANDS.
JUST FOUR INCHES OR TEN
CENTIMETER IS A CROSS, THESE
CUBES CAN BE EXPANDED
INCREMENTALLY DEPENDING ON THE
SPECIFIC MISSION OBJECTIVES.
ORIGINALLY DEVELOPED IN 1999 BY
CAL POLY SAN LUIS OBISPO AND
STANFORD UNIVERSITY FOR
EDUCATION PURPOSES.
NASA HAS SINCE USED HEM FOR NEW
SCIENCE MISSIONS AND TO TEST NEW
ELECTRON EKES SENSORS AND
SOFTWARE THAT MAY BE INCLUDED ON
LARGER MISSIONS.
MIKE CHIEF TECHNOLOGIST FOR NASA
SCIENCE MISSION DIRECTORATE SAYS
THE ABILITY TO TEST NEW
TECHNOLOGY AT A FRACTION OF THE
COST OF A LARGER SATELLITE MAKES
THEM INVALUABLE AND REALLY OPENS
YOUR EYES TO MANY POSSIBILITIES.
JUST AS EYE OPENING AS THE WAY
CUBE SATES ARE QUICKLY UNLOCKING
NEW SCIENTIFIC DATA.
FOR EXAMPLE, WHILE CONVENTIONAL
SATELLITES HAVE LONG OBSERVED
CLOUDS AND HAVE PROVIDED
ESTIMATES OF THE LIQUID
PRECIPITATION THEY HOLD.
THEY HAVE NEVER OBSERVED THE
SMALLER ICE PARTICLES THAT
CREATE ENORMOUS RAIN CLOUDS.
THE CUBE SAT CONTAINED A NEW
SUBMILLIMETER WAVELENGTH
RADIOMETER THAT COULD MAKE A
MEASUREMENT OF THE SMALL FROZEN
CRYSTALS THAT MAKE UP ICE
CLOUDS.
AFTER BEING DEPLOYED FROM THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION IN
MAY OF 2017, ICE CUBE CREATED A
GLOBAL MAP OF ICE CLOUD, THE

SOME DAY, THIS TECHNIQUE MAY
HELP IMPROVE LONG RANGE WEATHER

WAS LAUNCHED IN MAY OF 2018 THE
MARCO AND THE MARCO B CUBESATS
BEGAN THEIR SEVEN MONTH JOURNEY

MARCO'S ROLES WAS TO HELP RELAY
COMMUNICATIONS DURING THE
LANDING PROCESS.
LANG DATA WAS TRANSMITTED TO THE
MARS RECONNAISSANCE OR BITTER
WHERE THE RADIO STORED AND
FORWARDED RULES TO EARTH AFTER A

LABORATORY.
HI, WELCOME ABOARD THE ISS.
I AM ASTRONAUT RICKY ARNOLD AND
CURRENTLY ON ISS WHERE YOU CAN
SEE LAPTOPS, AND OTHER
SCIENTIFIC EQUIPMENT.
THERE IS ANOTHER EXPERIMENT RACK
WHERE YOU CAN SEE ULTRASOUND
IMAGING, MORE LAP TOPS, CAMERA
WHERE ARE OTHER EQUIPMENT, ALL
STUFF THAT REQUIRES ELECTRICAL
POWER.
IN FACT, WE HAVE SO MUCH
EQUIPMENT FOR SCIENCE AND LIFE
SUPPORT THAT OUR ELECTRICAL
SYSTEM HAS ABOUT EIGHT MILES AND
13 KILOMETERS OF WIRING TO MAKE
IT WORK.
SO WHERE DOES THIS COME FROM?
TAKE A LOOK.
FROM HERE IN THE CUPOLA AND
THROUGH OTHER WINDOWS YOU CAN
SEE THE SOLAR ARRAYS SOAKING IN
THE SUN LIGHT.
THEY ARE MASSIVE.
THESE FOUR SOLAR ARRAYS ARE MADE
OF SOLAR CELLS WHICH ARE
PURIFIED CHUNKS OF THE ELEMENT
TOGETHER THE SOLAR ARRAYS
CONTAIN A TOTAL OF 262400 SOLAR
CELLS AND COVER THE AREA OF
27,000 SQUARE FEET AND MORE THAN
HALF OF THE AREA OF A FOOTBALL
FIELD.
THAT IS HUGE.
WHEN THE STATION IS IN SUN
LOOTING THE SOLAR ARRAYS PRODUCE
ABOUT 60% MORE POWER THAN WE
ACTUALLY NEED DURING THE
DAYTIME.
AND THAT EXTRA POWER GOES
DIRECTLY TO CHARGING THE LITHIUM
ION BATTERIES AND THOSE
BATTERIES ARE ESSENTIAL BECAUSE
THEY PROVIDE THE POWER NEEDED
DURING THE 16 NIGHTTIMES WE HAVE
PER DAY HERE ON THE SPACE
STATION.
THE ENERGY OUR SOLAR ARRAYS CAN
PRODUCE IS HUFF TO POWER 4 HOMES
AND MAXIMIZE THE POWER WE
GENERATE BY ROTATING THE RACE IN
TWO AXIS ONE LIKE A WIND MILL TO
TRACK THE SUN THROUGH THE COURSE
OF THE DAY.
THE OTHER TO TRACK THE SUN'S
