>>> IGNITION SEQUENCE.
>> GOOD MORNING AND WELCOME TO
MISSION CONTROL HOUSTON.
THESE SPECIALIST ARE MONITORING
SYSTEMS ON THE ORBITING
LABORATORY AND WORKING WITH THE
EXPEDITION 61 CREW MEMBERS AS
THEY PRESS AHEAD OVER THE NEXT
FEW HOURS.
THE WEEK KICKED OFF WITH THE
ARRIVAL OF A RECORD SHIPMENT OF
SUPPLIES ON A CARGO SHIPMENT
THAT INCLUDED THE HARDWARE
NEEDED FOR AN AMBITIOUS SET OF
SPACEWALKS NEEDED TO REPAIR THE
COOLING SYSTEM.
>> WELCOME TO SPACE TO GROUND.
I'M KATHERINE CLAYTON.
THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION
RECEIVED A FRESH DELIVERY OF
SUPPLIES.
THE CARGO VEHICLES LAUNCHED
NOVEMBER 2 FROM VIRGINIA.
ON NOVEMBER 4th EXPEDITION 61
ASTRONAUTS USED THE SPACE
STATION'S ARM TO CAPTURE THE
CARGO.
THEY LOADED THE CARGO INTO THE
VEHICLE.
THIS IS A RECORD BREAKING AMOUNT
OF CARGO THE ARRIVAL IS ALSO THE
FIRST TIME TWO VEHICLES WILL BE
IN ORBIT AT THE SAME TIME.
MD12 WILL JOIN MD11 THAT REMAIN
BEES IN ORBIT TO DEMONSTRATE
FUTURE CAPABILITIES.
MD12 WILL REMAIN AT THE SPACE
STATION UNTIL JANUARY.
BOEING TOOK AN IMPORTANT STEP TO
RETURN LAUNCH CAPABILITIES.
THE STAR LINER SPACECRAFT HAD A
CRITICAL MOUNTED ON MONDAY.
THE TEST VERIFIES EACH OF THE
STAR LINERS SAFETY SYSTEMS WILL
PROTECT ASTRONAUTS IN THE
UNLIKELY EVENT PRIOR TO LIFTOFF
BY MOVING THEM AWAY FROM THE
LAUNCHPAD.
DURING THE TWO MINUTE TEST THEY
WILL HAVE ORBITAL
MANEUVERERRING.
THEY PUSHED IT ONE MILE ABOVE
LAND.
THE SUCCESSFUL TEST IS ANOTHER
STEP TOWARDS MASSIVE FUTURE
MISSIONS.
ACTIVITY OUTSIDE THE STATION
WILL SOON RAMP UP AS THEY
PREPARE FOR A SERIES OF
SPACEWALKS FOR THE LARGEST
SCIENTIFIC MISSION.
THIS IS A SUB ATOPIC PARTICLE
DETECTOR THAT LOOKS FOR
ANTIMATTER.
16 COUNTRIES NEARLY 20 YEARS
DESERVE DEVELOP AND INSTALLED IN
2011.
THE REPAIR OF THE COOLING SYSTEM
WILL MAKE SURE THEY CAN PROVIDE
MORE DATA AND GROUNDBREAKING
SCIENCE.
THEY WILL HAVE A SERIES OF
BRIEFINGS ON TUESDAY, ON NASA
TV.
KEEP ENDING IN YOUR QUESTIONS
AND WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT WEEK.
>>> FLIGHT ENGINEER JESSICA WAS
AT THE CONTROLS OF THE ROBOTIC
ARM FOR THE OPERATION.
PUTTING TOGETHER THE USE OF THE
EDUCATION HE REQUIRED IN THE
YEARS OF TRAINING SHE RECEIVED.
SHE LEFT FOR A LOT OF QUESTIONS.
TAKE A LOOK.
>> WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE COLOR?
>> BLUE.
>> FAVORITE BOOK?
>> ANA.
>> ARE YOU A MORNING OR NIGHT
PERSON?
>> NOT A MORNING PERSON.
>> WHETHER OR NOT'S YOUR FEAR?
>> PLANTS DYING.
>> WHAT DO YOU DO OUTSIDE?
>> SPEND TIME-OUT DOORS HIKING
AND SKIING.
>>Reporter: FAVORITE ANIMAL?
>> OX.
>>Reporter: ONE SUPER POWER?
>> FLY.
>> MOST VALUABLE HIGH SCHOOL
CLASS YOU TOOK?
>> INTRODUCTION BIOLOGY.
>> WHAT'S A GOAL YOU PLAN TO
ACHIEVE THIS YEAR?
>> TO FULFILL MY FUTURE PLANS
FOR MY HIGH SCHOOL YEARBOOK TO
GO FOR A SPACEWALK.
>> IF YOU COULD GO TO MARS WHAT
WOULD YOU DO?
>> EXPLORE, MAYBE A SAND DUNE
SURFING.
>> IS THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE
STATION IS A LABORATORY IN SPACE
WHERE SCIENTIST CAN DO RESEARCH
IN A VARIETY AND REMOVE THE
CONSTANT OF GRAVITY FROM AN
EQUATION.
THIS IS ESPECIALLY USEFUL.
IN FINDING OUT HOW SURFACE
TENSION AND CAPILLARY FLOW COULD
MOVE FLUIDS IN MORE EFFICIENT
WAYS.
WHAT LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE HAVING
GUN CAN HELP IMPROVE SYSTEMS.
SUCH AS MOVING PROPELLENTS IN
FUEL TANKS DURING SPACE TRAVEL.

>> THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE
STATION MOOD YULE LABORATORIES
SUPPORT DIFFERENT MISSIONS.
THE FLAME DESIGN EXPERIMENTS IS
LOOKING INTO THE QUANTITY OF
SOOT PRODUCED UNDER A NUMBER OF
CONDITIONS.
THAT COULD PRODUCE DATA LEADING
TO NEW BURNERS THAT ARE MORE
EFFICIENT AND LESS POLLUTING.
>> WE HAVE SHOWN YOU A FEW
EXPERIMENTS TAKING PLACE.
THIS IS ANOTHER ONE, WE'LL LOOK
AT IT UP-CLOSE.
LAST YEAR THEY TURNED ON A
CAMERA WHILE WORKING WITH THE
CANCER THERAPY EXPERIMENTS.
SHE WAS GROWING CERTAIN CELLS.
THEY WOULD FIND OUT IF THE CELLS
GROWN IN SPACE COULD HELP WITH
CERTAIN CANCER MEDICATION.
>> GOOD MORNING, WELCOME TO ISS
TODAY.
I'M WORKING ON THE CANCER TRIAL
UP HERE ON ISS.
I HAVE SPENT QUIET A BIT OF
TIME.
WE ARE LOOKING AT A CELL.
THIS CELL IS FOUND IN EVERY
BLOOD VESSEL IN YOUR BODY.
PEOPLE WONDERING WHY WE GROW
THEM ON ISS AND SCIENTIST
BELIEVE THAT CELLS IN THE BODY
GROW VERISIMILAR UP HERE ON ISS.
THEY DON'T LIVE FOR LONG AND
THEY BELIEVE FOR SOME REASON
THEY GROW BETTER IN SPACE.
THIS IS ONE THING THEY ARE
TESTING ON ORBIT.
YOU CAN SEE THEM ON THE
COMPUTER.
THESE CELLS HELP FROM BLOOD
SUPPLIES AND TUMORS NEED BLOOD
SUPPLIES TO GET BIGGER AND
BIGGER.
ALL OF US HAVE BEEN IMPACTED BY
CANCER WHETHER IT'S A FAMILY OR
FRIEND.
CAN WE GROW THESE CELLS TO TEST
NEW CANCER DRUGS IF WE CAN STOP
THE BLOOD SUPPLY FROM GROWING WE
CAN HELP BEAT THE CANCER.
THAT'S ONE OF THE EXPERIMENTS WE
ARE LOOKING AT.
>> IN IS WHERE ALL THE CELLS
LIVE.
WHEN WE ARE DONE WORKING WITH
THEM WE PUT THEM IN THE CEILING
AND IT FEELS ALL NICE AND WARM
AND COMFORTABLE BECAUSE IT IS
JUST LIKE THE TEMPERATURE OF THE
HUMAN BODY.
WE LET THEM LIVE AND GROW THERE.
WE HAVE HAD THEM FOR TWO MONTHS.
WE FEED THEM AND GIVE THEM
NUTRITION.
THEY ARE LIKE MINIATURE CREW
MEMBERS LIVING WITH US.
WE ARE GOING TO THE NEW BIOCELL.
THESE BIOCELLS HAVE BEEN TREATED
WITH VARYING LEVELS OF A CANCER
DRUG.
RESEARCHERS LOOK AT THE IMAGES
ATTACK FOR THEM AND SEE HOW WELL
IT'S CONNECTING.
MAKING SURE THAT'S LEVEL.
YOU CAN SEE THE FORMATIONS HERE.
>> IT'S A GOOD SPOT.
>> YOU CAN SEE THE FORMATIONS
HERE.
THIS IS A GOOD REPRESENTATION
FOR BOTH OF THOSE.
>> THE STRUCTURE OF THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION
RELIES ON A SERIES THAT ARE
ENGINEERES TO WITHSTAND THE
FORCES THAT THEY ENCOUNTERS IN
LOWER EARTH ORBIT.
IN THE DEMONSTRATION VIDEO RICKY
WILL EXPLAIN THE SIGNIFICANCE OF
THE STRUCTURES AND THE FORCES
THEY ARE UP AGAINST IN
MICROGRAVITY.
♪ [ MUSIC ] ♪
>> HEY, THERE.
I'M RICKY ARNOLD.
WELCOME ABROAD THE INTERNATIONAL
SPACE STATION.
WE WILL TALK ABOUT THE SPACE
STATION TRUST.
THIS SEGMENT IS ABOUT 100 METERS
FROM SIDE TO SIDE.
A TRUST IS A SEGMENT OR PART OF
THE WHOLE TRUST STRUCTURE.
IT'S USED TO SUPPORT THE 16
SOLAR ARRAY BANNELS -- PANELS
THAT PROVIDE ENERGY FOR US.
IT INVOLVES TRIANGLES AND BEAMS.
>> WHY TRIANGLES?
THIS IS BECAUSE OF THEIR UNIQUE
PROTIES AND THEIR SPATIAL
OPENNESS.
TRIANGLES ARE MORE RIDGED.
THE NUMBER OF JOINTS THE MORE
PRONE THAT SHAPE IS TO BE
IMPACTED BY SHEER FORCES.
I LIKE TO TALK ABOUT TODAY, SOME
OF THE FORCES THAT CONNECT THE
TRUST.
THE FIRST FORCE I WOULD LIKE TO
TALK ABOUT IS COMPRESSION FORCE.
IT'S JUST LIKE IT SOUNDS TWO
THINGS COMING TOGETHER.
IF WE APPLY IT WHAT WILL HAPPEN?
WELL, LET ME GO AHEAD AND DO IT.
YOU CAN SEE RIGHT HERE WHERE THE
TRUST WOULD BEND.
WHAT DO YOU THINK THE OPPOSITE
FORCE OF COMPRESSION IS?
YEAH, IT'S PULLING APARTMENT WE
CALL THAT ATTENTION FORCE.
ATTENTION FORCE IS WHAT WILL
HELP RIDGED EYES BUT ALSO PULL
IT APARTMENT I WOULDN'T PULL IT
APART BECAUSE WE NEED IT.
IF YOU LOOK CAREFULLY THE NEXT
THING I WANT TO TALK ABOUT IS A
TWISTING FORCE.
WHEN I JUST LET GO OF THE TAPE
MEASURE IT WILL START TO HAPPEN
AGAIN AND YOU CAN START TO SEE
BECAUSE THE CENTER OF MASS
BECAUSE OF WHERE IT'S LOCATED
THE TAPE MEASURER STARTS TO
TWIST JUST A LITTLE BIT.
FINALLY THE FOURTH THAT CONNECTS
ALONG THE TRUST SEGMENT CAN
OCCUR AT A SINGLE POINT WHERE
TWO OPPOSING FORCES WORK ON A
SINGLE POINT ALONG THE TRUST.
JUST LIKE ON THE SURFACE.
THINK ABOUT THE EARTHQUAKES.
YOU COULD HAVE A PLATE ALONG A
FAULT LINE WHERE ONE SIDE IS
MOVING UPWARDS OR FORCED UPWARDS
AND THE OTHER SIDE IS MOVING
DOWNWARD.
IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS IT'S A
SHEER FORCE.
WE COULD HAVE THAT HAPPEN ON THE
TRUST SEGMENT.
IT'S SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
ONE THING TO THINK ABOUT IS
WHERE DO THE FORCES COME FROM.
ONE THING IS WE HAVE DRAG WITH
THE EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE THAT
COULD APPLY A FORCE ON THE TRUST
SEGMENT.
ANOTHER, I HINTED AT EARLIER IS
CREW WORKING INNED.
WE ARE UP HERE AND EXERCISING
AND MOVING EQUIPMENT AROUND.
WE HAVE AN AMAZING ENGINEERING
TEAM ON THE GROUND.
WE HAVE SPECIFIC DISCIPLINES.
THEIR JOB IS TO MONITOR ALL OF
THE FORCES ON THE INTERNATIONAL
SPACE STATION.
THEY KEEP TRACK OF ALL OF THE
FORCES AND WHERE THEY COULD BE
COMING FROM, VISITING VEHICLES,
AND THINGS THE CREW IS DOING
INSIDE THE SPACE STATION.
THEY WILL MAKE SURE THE FORCES
AREN'T SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH TO
CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE LABORATORY
AND LIVING SPACE WE HAVE UP
HERE.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING ME
TODAY.
SEE YOU NEXT TIME, SO LONG.
>> NASA'S EFFORT TO RETURN
ASTRONAUTS TO THE MOON BY 2024.
THEY WOULD LIKE TO USE THE WATER
TO SUPPORT A SUSTAINABLE
PROGRAM.
THE PRESENCE OF WATER ON THE
MOON IS A RELATIVE RESENT
DISCOVERY AND OPENING UP
EXCITING POSSIBILITIES.
ALSO INSIGHTING QUESTIONS OF
WHERE THE WATER CAME FROM.
>> EXPLORING THE PRESENCE OF
WATER ON THE MOON.
I'M JIM GREEN NASA'S CHIEF
SCIENTIST AND THIS IS SCIENCE AT
NASA.
>> WE ARE GOING TO THE MOON.
[ APPLAUSE ]
>> AS NASA PREPARES TO WHERE HE
TURN TO THE MOON.
ONE EXCITING OPPORTUNITY SCIENCE
IS PREPARING FOR IS THE ABILITY
TO USE TO WATER THAT EXISTS
THERE TO SUPPORT HUMAN
EXPLORATION.
THE DISCOVERY OF WATER HAS BEEN
RESENT.
THERE ARE JUST AS MANY QUESTIONS
ABOUT THE WATER'S ORIGIN.
IN THE LATE 1990s THEY FOUND
EXTRA HYDROGEN AT THE POLL.
WHERE THERE IS HYDROGEN THERE
MIGHT BE WATER.
THIS MISSION WAS DESIGNED TO
DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF HYDROGEN
THAT MIGHT BE PRESENT JUST BELOW
THE MOONS POLAR REASON.
TONY IS A SCIENTIST AT NASA'S
RESEARCH CENTER.
TO DETERMINE THE FORM OF
HYDROGEN AT THE POLES WE NEEDED
TO ACCESS MATERIAL BELOW THE
SURFACE.
WE CARRIED A PIECE OF ROCKET WE
LAUNCHED ON ALL THE WAY TO THE
MOON AND DIRECT DEPOSITED TO ONE
OF THE CRATERS NEAR THE SOUTH
POLE.
THIS CAUSED A BLOOM.
WE HAD A PROBE WITH NINE
DIFFERENT INSTRUMENTS.
THE LUNAR ORBITER SPACECRAFT WAS
ALSO MAKING OBSERVATIONS OF THE
BLOOM WHILE MAPPING THE LUNAR
SURFACE FROM IT'S ORBIT AROUND
THE MOON.
THEY HADN'T SEEN IT SUN IN OVER
TWO BILLION YEARS.
IN THE SUNLIGHT WE FOUND WATER
ABOUT 5% BY WEIGHT.
>> NOW W KNOW THERE IS WATER ON
THE MOON.
>> RESEARCH SCIENTIST JEN IS
ALSO HERE AND SHE WILL EXPLAIN
WHY THE DISCOVERY IS MUCH MORE
THAN A CURIOSITY.
>> ULTIMATELY, I BELIEVE WE WILL
BE LIVING ON THE MOON FOR
EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME.
WE MUST TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE
RESOURCES WE CAN FIND.
WATER IS H2 O.
IT'S A COMBINATION OF HYDROGEN
AND OXYGEN.
THIS MIGHT BE ABLE TO BE USED
FOR ROCKET FUEL AND BREATHING.
WATER ON THE MOON GIVES YOU A
NEW PARADIGM.
>> WE HAVE COULDN'TED TO STUDY
WATER AT THE LUNAR POLLS FROM
ORBIT WITH INSTRUMENTS ON
SEVERAL MISSIONS.
WE STILL HAVE A LOT OF
QUESTIONS.
WHERE DID THE WATER COME FROM?
SOME BELIEVE THE WATER AND OTHER
VOLATILES COULD BE REMNANTS OF
COMMITS AND ASTEROID IMPACTS.
OTHERS PORT TO RESENT METTIER
SHOWERS.
WE HAVE CONFIRMED THE THE WATER
EXIST IN THE CRATER NEAR THE
MOON'S SOUTH POLE WILL THE
IMPACT OCCURRED.
CAN WE EXPECT TO FIND IT IN
OTHER SUPER COLD REASONS.
>> WE WON'T BE ABLE TO KNOW THIS
UNTIL WE VISIT.
>> TO THE PROGRAM NASA IS
PLANNING TO DO JUST THAT.
SEARCHING FOR MORE INFORMATION
ABOUT THE MOON.

>> ONE WEEK AGO TOMORROW,
NOVEMBER 2, WAS THE 19th
ANNIVERSARY OF THE ARRIVAL OF
THE CREW TO THE INTERNATIONAL
SPACE STATION.
THE THREE KICKED OFF THE
CONTINUOUS HUMAN PRESENCE IN
SPACE THAT CONTINUES UP TO RIGHT
NOW.
SUPPORTING SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH
AND A PLATFORM TO TEST AND
PREFECT A NEW FLEET OF VEHICLES.
THIS IS VITAL TO OUR FUTURE IN
SPACE.
>> THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE
STATION.
THE FOOTBALL FIELD SIZED
LABORATORY FLYING AROUND PLANET
EARTH AROUND 17,500 MILES PER
HOUR.
IT'S OUR HOME IN LOW EARTH ORBIT
AND THE BRIDGE OF OUR FAR
REACHING SYSTEM.
A PLACE TO LEARN WHAT IT TAKES.
TO LIVE, TO WORK, TO THRIVE IN
SPACE.
THANKS TO SPACE AGENCIES
REPRESENTING A DOZEN COUNTRIES
AROUND THE WORLD.
IT WENT FROM THE DRAWING BOARD
TO LIFTOFF.
THAT KICKED OFF OVER A DECADE OF
CONSTRUCTION HALLING THE STATION
TO ORBIT PIECE BY PIECE ON
NASA'S SPACE SHUTTLE.
AFTER THE FIRST CREW ARRIVED IN
NOVEMBER OF 2000.
HUMAN WERE LIVING AND WORKING IN
SPACE
BUILDING ON THE LEGACY OF PAST
OUT PODIATRISTS.
THIS WAS THE NEXT JOURNEY.
THEY BUILT AND PROTECTED THE
TECHNOLOGY NECESSARY TO TRAVEL
TO OUR SOLAR SYSTEM.
THIS GAVE US A PLACE TO PREPARE
FOR THE NEXT GIANT LEAP INTO THE
UNKNOWN.
A NEW ERA IN OUT OF SPACE IS
UNFOLDING.
WHAT WAS THE DOMAIN OF NATIONS
AND GOVERNMENTS IS POPULATED BY
A GROWING SPACE FLEET BY
AMERICAN INDUSTRY.
PRIVATE SPACECRAFT AND HABITATS
AND TECHNOLOGY FOR FUTURE SPACE
MISSIONS AND AN OPEN DOOR FOR
COMPANIES AND RESEARCH
INSTITUTION AND STUDENTS AROUND
THE WORLD TO DO RESEARCH IN
SPACE THAT NEVER HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY BEFORE.
ALL OF THIS IS LAYING THE
FOUNDATION FOR A ROBUST ECONOMY
IN SPACE.
THERE ARE BEEN THOUSANDS OR
EXPERIMENTS AND HUNDREDS OF
SPACEWALKS AND ENDLESS HOURS OF
CHALLENGES AND SUCCESSES.
THIS IS FROM COUNTRIES AROUND
THE GLOB.
THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION
IS WHAT WE CAN ACHIEVE AS A
PLANET WHEN WE COME TOGETHER TO
DO THE THINGS THAT IS HARD.
THE WORK ISN'T SLOWING DOWN.
WE ARE READY THERE IF NEXT GIANT
LEAP.
WE ARE READY TO GO FARTHER.
WHAT WE DO AND LEARN ALONG THE
WAY IS FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL
HUMAN KIND.
>> IN THE 19 PLUS YEARS OF HUMAN
PRESENCE ON THE INTERNATIONAL
SPACE STATION MANY OF THE 239
DIFFERENT HUMAN BEINGS THAT HAVE
BEEN THERE HAVE UNDER GONE A
SHIFT IN THEIR WORLD VIEW.
LOOKING DOWN ON THE WORLD HAS
THAT EFFECT ON PEOPLE.
THE PHAENOMENON HAS A NAME.
THE OVER VIEW EFFECT.
