>>> GOOD MORNING, WITH THIS IS
THE VIEW AND THE INTERNATIONAL
SPACE STATION FLIGHT CONTROL
ROOM.
THEY ROUTINELY MONITOR THE
SYSTEMS OF THE STATION BECAME
ACCUSTOM TO A NEW NORMAL OF
SEVEN ASTRONAUTS.
THIS WEEKS ARRIVAL OF THE FIRST
OPERATIONAL FLIGHT OF THE CREW
DRAGON WITH FOUR NEW PEOPLE
BETTERS OF THE CREW MOVES TO
SPACE STATION PROGRAM INTO A NEW
ERA AND MOVES IT INTO COMMERCIAL
SPACE STATION INDUSTRY WHICH IS
ONE OF THE COMMON GOALS WHEN IT
STARTED FLYING 22 YEARS AGO
TODAY.
>> WELCOME TO SPACE TO GROUND.
I'M KATHERINE.
THIS WEEK WE MAKE HISTORY WITH
THE CREW ONE LAUNCH AND DOCKING.
>> AND RESILIENCE RISES.
NOT EVEN GRAVITY CONTAINS
HUMANITY AS WE EXPLORE ONE FOR
ALL.
>> NASA'S SPACEX CREW ONE
MISSION LIFTED OFF ON SUNDAY ON
THE SPACE X FALCON 9 ROCKET AT
THE SPACE CENTER IN FLORIDA.
THE SPACECRAFT MADE HISTORY
CARRYING MIKE HOPKINS, VICTOR
GLOVER TO THE INTERNATIONAL
SPACE STATION ON THE FIRST NASA
CERTIFIED SPACE SYSTEM.
THE CREW DRAGON NAMED RESILIENCE
DOCKED ON LATE MONDAY EVENING.
THEY JOINED THE EXPEDITION 46
CREW TO BEGIN A 67 MONTH STAY.
>> IT WAS AN AMAZING RIDE AND I
CAN'T TELL YOU HOW EXCITED WE
WERE WHEN THE ROCKET LIFTED AND
THE LAST 27 HORSE HAS GONE
PRETTY SMOOTH.
WE ARE EXCITED TO BE HERE AND
HUMBLED AND EXCITED TO BE APART
OF THE GREAT EXPEDITION.
WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE
NEXT SIX MONTHS AND CAN'T WAIT
TO GET STARTED.
>>REPORTER: THE CREW ONE ARRIVAL
IS NOT THE ONLY EXCITING THING
HAPPENING ON THE ISS.
THIS WEEK SURGE EXECUTED A
SPACEWALK.
THEY TESTED LEAK CHECKS.
THEY RELOCATED AN ANTENNA AND
LOOKED AT THE DOCKING COMPONENT.
THEY WILL REPLACE IT WITH THE
NEW LABORATORY.
IT'S SCHEDULED TO LAUNCH IN
2021. THEY RECEIVED HELP FROM
KATE RUBIN TO SUIT UP AND
MONITOR THEIR TASK.
THIS WAS THE FIRST SPACEWALK FOR
THIS GROUP AND THETH THIS YEAR.
SEE YOU NEXT WEEK.
>> YOU HAVE HEARD THE FIRST
COMMERCIAL SPACESHIP TO CARRY
FOUR CREW MEMBERS.
IT WAS THE FIRST OPERATIONAL
VEHICLE.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
WHAT WILL THEY BE DOING IN SPACE
AND HOW LONG WILL THEY BE THERE?
I KNOW, A LOT OF QUESTIONS.
WHO BETTER THAN THE CREW MEMBERS
THEMSELVES TO ANSWER THOSE
QUESTIONS AND MORE.
MEET THE ASTRONAUTS OF CREW ONE.
>> I'M VICTOR GLOVER NASA AS TRA
NAUGHT.
>> I'M DR. SHANNON WALKER.
>> I'M CERTIFICATAL MIKE HOPKINS
UNITED STATES AIR FORCE.
I'LL BE THE COMMANDER ON THE
CREW ONE MISSION TO THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION.
♪
>> CREW ONE IS THE DESIGNATOR
FOR THE FIRST OPERATIONAL
MISSION OF THE SPACE X CREW
DRAGON.
IT'S A NEW VEHICLE.
>> WE ARE STARTING THE PHRASE
WHERE WE FLY ASTRONAUTS TO THE
SPACE STATION ON COMMERCIAL CREW
VEHICLES.
>> WE WILL GO UP AND STAY FOR
THE FULL LONG DURATION FROM SIX
TO SEVEN MONTHS LONG.
>> ONE THING THAT IS DIFFERENT
WE WILL HAVE FOUR PEOPLE.
HOW DO FOUR PEOPLE LIVE AND
OPERATE SUCH A VEHICLE.
>> WE'D LIKE TO GET IT TO THE
SPACE STATION AND HOME SAFELY.
>> THIS IS THE VERY IMPORTANT
MISSION IT'S ALL DONE YOU TRAIN
FOR SPACEWALKS ROBOTICS TRAINING
AND STILL TAKING RUSSIAN
CLASSES.
>> THE SCIENCE PAYLOADS AND
MAINTENANCE AND ASSEMBLY ON THE
SPACE STATION.
>> HOW TO HANDLE EMERGENCIES ON
THE SPACE STATION TO HOW TO FLY

>> WE HAVE BEEN GOING OUT TO
SPACE X AND WORKING WITH THEM
FROM A TRAINING STANDPOINT.
IT'S A GREAT HONORRIZE'D LIKE TO
CONTRIBUTE YOU PLAY ALL DAY AND
FEELS GOOD WHEN YOU COME HERE TO
JSC AND YOU TRAIN.
IT'S MUCH MORE SERIOUS THAN
THAT.
IT HAS REALLY CONSEQUENCES BUT
AT THE SAME TIME.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT.
>> TO FLY A NEW SPACECRAFT TO
OUR HOME OF TWO DECADES IT'S AN
AMAZING ACCOMPLISHMENT.
>> AMERICANS SHOULD BE PROUD OF
THIS ACHIEVEMENT.
FOR THE REST OF THE 7.4 BILLION
PEOPLE I'LL OPEN THE DOOR FOR
YOU.
THIS IS SUPER NATIONAL
CORPORATION.
THEY HAVE A CHANCE TO RIDE ON
THIS.
SO, THIS IS A NEWER AN.
>> IT'S JUST TREMENDOUSLY
EXCITING AND FASCINATING TO KNOW
THAT KIDS ARE GROWING UP TODAY
THAT A HAVE ALWAYS HAD PEOPLE
LIVING IN SPACE AND ALWAYS HAD
THEM WORKING TOGETHER FOR PLANTS
AND ENGINEERING OBJECTIVES.
>> CREW ONE FOUR.
>> THE FOUR NEW CREW MEMBERS
THAT ARRIVED ON THE CREW DRAGON
SPACECRAFT WILL EXPANDED THE
NUMBER OF HOURS AVAILABLE FOR
EXPERIMENTS DONE IN THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION.
EXPERIMENTS THAT COVER MANY
DISCIPLINES INCLUDING MEDICAL
SCIENCE THAT COULD BENEFIT THE
MORE THAN 5 MILLION PEOPLE
AFFECTED BY PARKINSON'S DISEASE.
THEY WORKED ON AN EXPERIMENT
WITH A PROTEIN CRYSTAL NASA
ASTRO SARENA WALKED US THROUGH
THE EXPERIMENT.
>> WE ARE LOOKING FOR A SPECIAL
CRYSTAL STRUCTURE.
THE REASON THEY SENT IT UP IS
BECAUSE THE CRYSTALS CAN GROW
LARGER AND OF MUCH BETTER
QUALITY.
PARKINSON'S EFFECTS 5 MILLION
PEOPLE WORLDWIDE AND SCIENTISTS
ARE CONSTANTLY LOOKING FOR A
CREW.
THE CRYSTALS LIKE TO GROW IN
SPACE.
THEY ARE BETTER ABLE TO DEVELOP
AN INHIBITOR DRUG FOR PARKINSON.
NOT JUST AN INHIBITER DRUG BUT
WITH FEWER SIDE EFFECTS.
ALEX IS WORKING ON THE WALL.
HE HAS A MICROSCOPE AND PLATE HE
FILLS WITH THE SPECIAL PROTEIN
CRYSTAL STRUCTURE.
HE'S EXAMINING THEM UNDER THE
MICROSCOPE AND INTERACTING WITH
THE PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR TO
LOOK AT THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE TO
HELP IMPROVE THE LIGHTNING AND
CLARITY AND ALSO TAKE PICTURES
THAT WILL BE SENT BACK TO THE
GROUND.
ONBOARD WE ARE PROUD TO TAKE
PART IN THE EXPERIMENT.
SCIENTISTS HAVE REALIZED THE
MICROGRAVITY ENVIRONMENT GROWS
CELLS AND PROTEIN CRYSTALS AND
PROSIDES A WAY TO LOOK AT
DISEASES IN A BETTER WAY AND
DEVELOP NEW MEDICATIONS.
WE ARE HAPPY TO TAKE PART IN THE
SCIENCE UP HERE.
>>> THERE IS A LABORATORY IN
SPACE THAT PROVIDES BENEFITS ON
EARTH.
IT WILL TEACH US WHAT WE NEED TO
KNOW TO EXPLORE OUTER ORBIT LIKE
WHEN WE GO TO THE MOON IN A FEW
YEARS.
THERE ARE A FEW EXPERIMENTS THAT
ARE BUILDING ON ALL GOALS.
>> CEMENTING OUR GOAL IN SPACE.
AS YOUR DOG DRAGS YOU AROUND THE
BLOCK FOR HIS MORNING WALK.
YOU ARE NOT THINKING ABOUT THE
SIDEWALK.
THAT CONCRETE IS PRETTY GREAT.
NEXT TO THE WATER IT'S THE MOST
WIDELY USED MATERIAL ON EARTH.
IN THE FUTURE, CONCRETE MIGHT BE
USEFUL OFF THE PLANET.
THEY WILL NEED STIR DISTUFF THAT
CAN WEATHER SOLAR RADIATION AND
METEORITES.
NO ONE WOULD LIKE A CRACK IN THE
MOON DAYS.
THE KEY TO MAKING THE
CHRONOKEITH IS TO STUDY IT
OUT-OF-THE WORLD.
TWO EXPERIMENTS HAVE TAKEN PLACE
ABROAD THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE
STATION OR ISS TO DO THAT.
THE MICROGRAVITY OR MIX OR
MULTIUSE VERBAL PROCESS
FACILITY.
PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY
AND THE SPACEFLIGHT CENTER ARE
ANALYZING THE STUDY'S RESULTS.
CONCRETE IS A MIXTURE OF SAND,
GRAVEL, AND ROCKS GLUED TOGETHER
MADE OF WATER AND CEMENT POWER.
IT'S NOT AS MONDAIN AS IT LOOKS.
IT'S QUIET COMPLEX.
WHAT GOES ON IS KEY TO STRAIGHT
AND DURABILITY.
SCIENTIST DON'T UNDERSTAND THE
DETAILS OF THE CHEMISTRY AND
STRUCTURE.
PROCESSING METHODS ARE NOT CAST
IN STONE.
THERE IS PLENTY OF ROOM FOR
IMPROVEMENT.
ALEXANDRA, THE PRINCIPAL
INVESTIGATOR SAID THE
EXPERIMENTS ARE FOCUSED ON THE
PASTE THAT HOLDS THE MIXTURE
TOGETHER.
WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT GROWS
WHEN THERE IS NO GRAVITY DRIVEN
PHENOMENON.
THIS BEGINS WHEN WATER IS ADDED.
THE STRUCTURE CHANGES WHEN THE
GRAINS DISSOLVE.
AS THE OLD MOLECULES DESOLVE
CALCIUM STARTS TO CRYSTALLIZE.
MILLIONS OF CRYSTALS FORM
THROUGHOUT THE MIXTURE.
THEY LOCK TOGETHER WITH THE
CONCRETE INGREDIENTS.
WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE HOW THIS
WORKS OUT IN SPACE.
THIS COULD CHANGE THE STRUCTURE
AND MATERIAL PROPERTIES.
THE RATIO OF THE WATER AND POWER
IS CRITICAL TO MAKE THE
COMPONENTS COMBINE AND DETERMINE
THE STRAIGHT AND DURABILITY.
WILL THIS NEED TO BE DIFFERENT
ON THE MOON WHEN GRAVITY IS
ONE-SIXTH OF THE EARTHS.
THAT'S WHAT THE EXPERIMENT WILL
SHINE LIGHT ON.
ASTRONAUTS ADDED WATER TO
PACKETS OF CEMENT.
THEY ALSO ADDED ALCOHOL.
THEY ALSO HYDRATED DRY CEMENT
BUT USED A MACHINE TO SHOW
DIFFERENT GRAVITIES.
THEY WERE RETURNED TO EARTH FOR
ANALYSIS.
WE ARE SEEING AND DOCUMENTING
UNEXPECTED RESULTS SAYS RICHARD,
THE DIRECTOR.
WHAT WE FIND COULD LEAD TO
IMPROVEMENTS IN SPACE AND EARTH.
SINCE IT'S USED AROUND THE WORLD
EVEN A SMALL IMPROVEMENT COULD
HAVE A HUGE IMPACT.
WE MIGHT EVEN END UP WITH BETTER
SIDEWALKS FOR WALKING OUR DOGS.

>> THE STRUCTURE OF THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION
RELIES ON A SERIES OF TRUSSES.
RICKY ARNOLD WILL EXPLAIN THE
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STRUCTURES
AND THE FORCES THEY ARE UP
AGAINST IN MICROGRAVITY.
>> HEY, I'M RICKY ARNOLD AND
WELCOME TO THE INTERNATIONAL
SPACE STATION.
TODAY WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE SPACE
STATION TRUST.
THE SEGMENT IS ABOUT 100 ME
ENTERS FROM SIDE TO SIDE.
A TRUST IS A SEGMENT PART OF THE
STRUCTURE.
IT'S USE TO HOLD THE 16 SOLAR
ARRAY PANELS.
IT INVOLVES TRIANGLES AND BEAMS
THAT CAN BE SEEN ON BRIDGES IT
TRANSFERS LOADS AND TRIANGLES
ARE MORE RIDGED.
THEY HAVE FEWER JOINTS.
THE MORE JOINTS THE MORE PRONE
THE SHAPE WILL BE IMPACTED BY
FORCES.
WHAT I'D LIKE TO TALK ABOUT
TODAY ARE THE SOME OF THE FORCES
THE FIRST IS COMPRESSION FORCE.
IT'S TWO THINGS COMING TOGETHER.
IF YOU APPLY IT WHAT DO YOU
THINK WILL HAPPEN?
LET ME GO AHEAD AND DO IT.
YOU CAN SEE, RIGHT HERE WHERE
THE TRUSS WOULD BEND.
WHAT DO YOU THINK THE OPPOSITE
FORCE IS?
IT WILL PULL APART.
WE CALL THAT A TENSION FORCE.
A TENSION FORCE WILL HELP MAYBE
RIDGED THE TRUSS SEGMENT BUT
ALSO COULD PULL IT APART.
I WOULDN'T PULL APART THIS TAPE
MEASURER BECAUSE WE MIGHT NEED
IT.
IF YOU LOOK CAREFULLY THE NEXT
FORCE IS A TWISTING FORCE.
WE'LL CALL THAT TORSION.
WHEN I JUST LET GO OF THE TAPE
MEASURER YOU CAN SEE IT WILL
START TO HAPPEN A LITTLE BIT.
YOU CAN START TO SEE BECAUSE THE
CENTER OF MASS IS RIGHT HERE
WHERE THE TAPE MEASURER IS
LOCATED.
IT WILL START TO TWIST JUST A
BIT.
FINALLY, THE FOURTH FORCE ALONG
THE TRUSS SEGMENT CAN OCCUR WHEN
TWO OPPOSING FORCES WORK ON A
SINGLE POINT ALONG THE TRUSS.
JUST LIKE ON THE SURFACE.
THEY THINK ABOUT EARTHQUAKES.
IT'S ALONG THE FAULT LINE WERE
ONE PART IS MOVING UPWARD AND
THE OTHER SIDE IS MOVING
DOWNWARD.
THAT FORCE IN ONE POINT IN
OPPONENT SATE DIRECTIONS IS A
SHEER FORCE.
YOU CAN HAVE THAT HAPPEN ON THE
TRUSS SEGMENT.
SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
>> ONE THING TO THINK ABOUT
WHERE DO THE FORCES COME FROM?
>> ONE FORCE, WE ARE UP HERE
OUT-OF-THE EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE WE
HAVE DRAG WITH THE EARTH'S
ATMOSPHERE THAT APPLIES A FORCE
ON THE TRUSS SEGMENT.
ANOTHER ONE I HINTED AT IS CREW
WORKING INSIDE.
WE ARE UP HERE AND EXERCISING
AND MOVING EQUIPMENT AROUND.
SO, WE HAVE AN AMAZING
ENGINEERING TEAM ON THE GROUND
AND SPECIFIC DISCIPLINES THAT'S
JOB IS TO MONITOR THE FORCES ON
THE SPACE STATION.
THEY KEEP TRACK OF THE VARIOUS
FORCES I SPOKE ABOUT.
WHERE THEY COULD BE COMING FROM
INCLUDING WHAT'S GOING ON INSIDE
THE SPACE STATION AND MAKE SURE
THEY ARE NOT SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH
TO CAUSE DAMAGE FOR THE
WONDERFUL LABORATORY IN LOWER
EARTH'S ORBIT.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING ME.
SEE YOU NEXT TIME.
SO LONG.
>>> FUTURE NASA MISSIONS LIKE
THE ONES RETURNING AMERICAN
ASTRONAUTS TO THE MOON IN A FEW
SHORT YEARS ARE PART OF THE

>>> ALONG WITH A PLATFORM FOR
SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION IS A
PLACE FOR HUMANS TO GET A VIEW
OF THE PLANET UNLIKE ANY OTHER.
THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO HAVE BEEN
THERE SAY PICTURES ARE STILL
LACKING.
SEEING THE SUPER WIDE ANGLE VIEW
OF THE HOME PLANET WITH YOUR OWN
EYES CHANGES YOUR OUTLOOK ON THE
WORLD.
IT DID FOR MIKE FOREMAN.
>> COUNT-DOWN GETS TO ZERO AND
YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE IN A CAR
WRECK THE ROCKETS LIGHT OFF AND
GIVE YOU A KICK IN THE BACKSIDE
LIKE YOU WERE JUST REARENDED.
THEY LAUNCH YOU INTO SPACE AND
8-POINT MINUTES YOU ARE THERE.
I WISH I COULD DESCRIBE THE
WEIGHTLESSNESS OR VIEWS OF THE
EARTH.
I WAS NEVER THERE FOR MORE THAN
16 DAYS AT A TIME.
I WOULD GO TO A WINDOW AND TAKE
A LOOKOUT WHEN I HAD A SPARE
MINUTE.
SPACEWALKS SEEM TO BE BUSY AND
TASK FORCED EVENTS.
I HAVE TO DO THIS AND MOVE TO DO
THIS.
RARELY DID YOU HAVE A MINUTE TO
ENJOY THE VIEW.
THERE WERE THOSE MINUTES EVERY
ONCE IN A WHILE AND THE VIEW
OUTSIDE THE SPACECRAFT WITH THE
FULL PANORAMIC VIEW THROUGH YOUR
ELEMENT WAS GREAT.
I ALWAYS SAY DON'T DO THE
SPACEWALKS.
THE VIEW FROM THE FLAT WINDOW IS
PRETTY GOOD.
THE VIEW FROM OUTSIDE IS
AMAZING.
YOU CAN SEE THE COLORS OF BLUE
YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE.
THE SHADES OF BLUE AND THE THIN
ATMOSPHERE PROTECTING US.
IT'S OVERWHELMING WHEN YOU FIRST
SEE IT.
I THINK IF YOU ARE NOT A
CONVERSATIONIST BEFORE YOU GO TO
SPACE YOU ARE PARTLY ONE WHEN
YOU COME BACK YOU CAN SEE HOW
THIN THE ATMOSPHERE IS.
THIS WILL ALLOW US TO WALK
AROUND WITHOUT A SPACE SUIT ON.

BILLION PEOPLE ON THE PLANET FOR
JUST A FEW MINUTES.
