WELCOME TO THE LOOK AT THE
ACTIVITY GOING ON INSIDE OF THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION
FLIGHT CONTROL ROOM AT NASA
NASA'S JOHNSON SPACE CENTER IN
HOUSTON THIS THESE MEN AND WOMEN
ARE THE CURRENT TEAM KEEPING AN

THE CREW IS SPAIN WITH THE TRAIL
THIS I TASKS.
THERE IS A SIMILAR TEAM ON DUTY
HERE EVERY HOUR OF EVERY DAY.
65 COMMANDER AND AMERICAN
RUSSIAN AND FRENCH CREWMATES
HAVE BEEN TAKING CARE OF STATION
MAINTENANCE TASKS THIS WEEK ALL
WHILE SUPPORTING ONE-OF-A-KIND
SCIENCE ROW STENCH STAGS' LAB

IN THE STATION'S LAB MODULES.
WELCOME TO SPACE TO GROUND.
I AM CLAY LA FRANCE FROM SCIENCE
EXPERIENCE AND IN FLIGHT MAIN
INNOCENCE THE CREW ONBOARD THE
SPACE STATION HAS BEEN HARD AT
WORK THIS WEEK.
JAXA ASTRONAUT MONITOR EARLIER
THIS WEEK TO BE A PARTIES PAINT
IN THE CANADIAN SPACE AGENCY'S
VASCULAR AGING STUDY.
THE BUY OH MONITOR IS A WEARABLE
TECHNOLOGY SYSTEM DESIGNED TO
LOOK AND FEEL AS COMFORTABLE AS
TYPICAL SNUG T-SHIRT BUT IN
REALITY, IT IS ACTUALLY
MONITORING THE WEAR EAR HEART
RATE, ACTIVITY LEVEL AND
BREATHING RATES.
IT DATA FROM ULTRASOUNDS AND
BLOOD TESTS WILL BE SENT BACK TO
RESEARCHES AS PART OF THE
VASCULAR AGING EXPERIMENT WHICH
THE THIRD OF THE SERIES OF
SCIENTIFIC EXPERIENCES THAT
STUDIES THE EFFECTS OF
WEIGHTLESSNESS ON ASTRONAUT'S
BLOOD VESSEL AND HEART ONBOARD
THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION.
THE VASCULAR AGE STUDY IS
LOOKING AT ISSUES KNOWN TO POSE
RISKS TO ASTRONAUT'S HEALTH LIKE
RAD AUGUSTS AND INSULIN
RESISTANCE.
STUDYING THE RESPONSES OF THE
CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM IN SPACE
BETTER EQUIPS US TO UNDERSTAND
HOW ARTERIES AGE HERE ON EARTH.
ON MONDAY, NASA ANNOUNCED THE
FOURTH AND FINAL NUMBER FOR THE
UPCOMING NASA SPACEX CREW 3
MISSION TO THE ISS.
NASA ASTRO KNOTS CLAY WAS
SELECTED TO SERVE AS THE
MISSIONS CYST FORCE THE CREW 3
MISSION WHICH IS TARGETED TO
LAUNCH AS EARLY AS
OCTOBER23rd.
SHE WILL BE JOINING CREWMEMBERS,
NASA ASTRONAUTS, RAJA AND TOM AS
THE MISSIONS COMMANDER AND
PILOT RESPECTIVELY AND ASTRONAUT
WILL WHO WILL SERVE AS MISSION
SPECIALISTS THIS WILL BE THE
FIRST SPACEFLIGHT AND NASA
ASTRONAUT JANUARY OF 2020 AFTER
COMPETING TWO YEARS OF TRAINING.
COMES FROM ASHLAND, A FIFTH
GRADER FROM NEW YORK, WHO WANTED
TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS TO GARBAGE
ON THE ISS.
IT IS A GREAT QUESTION THERE IS
NO TRASH PICKING IN SPACE WHICH
MEANS STOWAGE BAGS AFTER A RAISE
AT THE STATION THE CREW WILLOWED
IT WITH THE TRASH BAGS AND OTHER
ITEMS TO BE REMOVED.
THESE VEHICLES WILL BE PART
FILLED WITH THOUSANDS OF POUNDS
OF THE DISPOSABLE ITEMS
ULTIMATELY BURNING UP IN THE
ATMOSPHERE DURING REIN TRY.
THE NANORACKS BISHOP AIRLOCK
WHICH WAS RECENTLY INSTALLED ON
THE STATION ALSO HAS THE ABILITY
TO JETTISON THE ORBITING LAB TO
BE BURNED UP IN THE ATMOSPHERE.
AND THEN, THAT IS SPACE TO
GROUND NOR WEEK.
THANKS FOR WATCHING.
WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT WEEK.

>> HELLO.
I AM ASTRONAUT RANDY BRESNIK.
I WANT TO KNOW THE BEST PARTS OF
BEING ASTRONAUT UP IN SPACE THAT
THE VIEW OF THE EARTH FROM THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION IS
ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR.
VIEWING THE EARTH FROM SPACE IS
A BIG PART OF OUR JOB AND IN A
DIGS TO MANY OTHER IMPORTANT
FUNCTIONS, THE INTERNATIONAL
SPACE STATION SERVES AS GLOBAL
MONITORING AND DIAGNOSIS
STATION.
WE TAKE UP OBSERVATION CROSS THE
GLOBE AIMED AT RESOLVING
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES WE FACE ON
THE HOME PLANET.
LET'S HAVE A LOOK.
IT'S THE HANDS ON AND AUTOMATED
CAMERAS AND IMAGE CAPTURE
EQUIPMENT.
THESE TOOLS ENABLE ASTRONAUTS TO
BOTH OBSERVE AND EXPLAIN WHAT
THEY ARE WITNESSING IN
REAL-TIME.
THE IMAGE CAPTURE EQUIPMENT ON
THE SPACE STATION WILL ALSO
PROVIDE INPUT TO PERSONNEL BACK
ON EARTH AND WORKING TO PROGRAM
THE STATION'S AUTOMATED SYSTEMS
OR FINDING FLEXIBILITY AND AT
VANTAGE OVER SENSORS ON UNMANNED
SPACECRAFT AND SATELLITE.
RESEARCHES FIND THIS ESPECIALLY
USEFUL WHEN UNEXPECTED NATURAL
BENDS SUCH AS VOLCANIC
ERUPTIONS, EARTHQUAKE WHERES,
HURRICANE, FIRES, OTHER NATURAL
DISASTER LIKES FLOODS OCCUR.
THE BARS?
AL AND INNER AND AGENCY
PARTNERSHIPS ARE FUNDAMENTAL TO
THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION.
DATA SHARING THAT CAN BENEFIT
PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD IS
FACILITATED.
PROMOTING INTERNATIONAL
COLLABORATION ON A RANGE OF
OBSERVATION ACTIVITIES.
IT CAN BE ATTACHED LIKE ON THE
SPACEWALK.
SEVERAL INSTRUMENTS HAVE BEEN
INSTALLED AND RESEARCHERS WERE
AROUND THE GLOBE ARE POSING
ADDITIONAL PAYLOADS TO INSTALL.
AND CONTINUING TO USE A
COMBINATION OF CREW OPERATED AND
EARTH OBSERVATION PAYLOADS.
THE SPACE STATION COLLECTS

FURTHER THAN BEFORE IN THE YEARS
TO COME.
>> MAKING SPACE FOR TECHNOLOGY
DEVELOPMENT.
>> ISS IS EARTH'S ONLY ORBITING
LABORATORY.
THAT IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT NOT
ONLY ALLOWS US TO CONDUCT
RESEARCH THAT BENEFITS ALL OF US
ON EARTH, IT ALSO PROVIDES THE
ONLY MICROGRAVITY ENVIRONMENT IN
WHICH WE CAN TEST TECHNOLOGIES
CRITICAL TO OUR DEEP SPACE
EXPLORATION IN THE NEAR AND FAR
TERM FUTURE.
HERE ENGINEERING MODELS CAN BE
VALIDATED AND NEW TECHNOLOGY AND
SYSTEMS FOR FUTURE MISSIONS CAN
BE DEMONSTRATED WITHOUT RISKS AS
CREW MEMBERS.
HISTORICALLY, THE MERCURY
PROGRAM ENABLED THE GEMINI
PROGRAM, WHICH IN TURN ENABLED
THE APOLLO PROGRAM THROUGH
TECHNOLOGIES AND SYSTEMS
ADVANCEMENTS.
TODAY, THE SPACE STATION IS
GIVING US A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE
IN LONG DURATION SPACECRAFT
OPERATIONS AND SERVING AS A TEST
BED FOR NEW TECHNOLOGY AND
UPGRADED VEHICLE SYSTEMS WHICH
ARE ENABLING FUTURE MISSIONS.
DAVE IS NASA'S ISS TECHNOLOGY
DEMONSTRATION RESEARCH PORTFOLIO
MANAGER.
HE NOTES THE ISS LETS US
DEMONSTRATE THAT A TECHNOLOGY
WORKS AS INTENDED IN A
SPACECRAFT ENVIRONMENT.
DEMONSTRATION ON THE SPACE
STATION INFORM OPERATORS AND
FLIGHT CREWS HOW THE SYSTEM
OPERATES.
PROVES INOPERABLE WITH OTHER
SYSTEM AND DEMONSTRATES SYSTEM
AND RELIABILITY.
THERE ARE MANY TECHNOLOGIES AND
CAPABILITY HAS NEED TO BE
DEVELOPED AS WE MOVE FORWARDED
TO THE MOON AND ON TO MARS.
FOR EXAMPLE,
RESEARCHES HAVE RECENTLY TESTED
A NEW DESIGN OF SOLAR ARRAY THAT
WILL BE USED ON THE FIRST MODULE
OF THE DEEP SPACE GETAWAY THE
FUTURE SPACE STATION THAT WILL
SERVE AS HOME BASE TO THE MOON.
SOLAR ARRAYS IN OPERATION RIGHT
NOW NEED TO UNFOLD BEFORE
BECOMING ACTIVE.
BUT NEW DESIGNS ALLOW FUTURE
SOLAR ARRAYS TO ROLL OUT AND
ALSO RETRACT.
THEY WERE TESTED FOR STRENGTH
AND DURABILITY ON THE ISS AND
WERE DESIGNED TO BE COMPACT THAN
CURRENT RIDGED PANELS.
NASA ORION IS A FOUR-PERSON
EXPLORATION CRAFT DESIGNED TO
TAKES A FLOATINGS IF YOU ARE
THEY WERE IN SPACE THAN ANYONE
HAS GONE BEFORE.
IT IS BACKUP NAVIGATION SYSTEM
USES A NEW TECHNOLOGY THAT IS
BIG.
IT CAPTURES IMAGES OF THE MOON
OR EARTH AND BASED ON THEIR SIZE
AND ANGLE AN ALGORITHM ORIAN'S
LOCATION.
THESE OPTICS CANNOT BE TESTED ON
EARTH BECAUSE IT WOULD DISTORT
THE IMAGES ENOUGH TO MAKE THE
ALGORITHM INACCURATE.
THE ALGORITHM WAS CONFIRMED TO
WORK PROPERLY.
A SECONDARY BENEFITS THE SYSTEM
WAS TESTED AT SPACECRAFT SPEED
MAKING FOR A REALLOT LIS TICK
NAVIGATION SCENARIO.
AS PEOPLE TRAVEL DEEPER TO SPACE
THEY WILL NEED SOLUTIONS TO A
VARIETY OF SAFETY CHALLENGES.
FOR INSTANCE, IF A FIRE BREAKS
OUT, HOW FAST CAN IT GROW AND
SPREAD IN A MICROGRAVITY
ENVIRONMENT ANOSMIAS' SPACECRAFT
FIRE RECEIVE THE OR SAPPHIRE
PROGRAM HAS ALREADY CONDUCTED A
SERIES OF EXPERIMENTS ON THREE
ISS CARGO VEHICLES TO MEASURE
FLAME GROWTH, OXYGEN USE, AND

>> WHEN THOSE ARTEMIS ASTRONAUTS
EXPLORE THE SURFACE OF THE MOON,
THEY WIN WEARING A BRAND-NEW
SPACESUIT.
HERE'S THE STORY OF THE
EXPLORATION EXTRA VEHICULAR
MOBILITY UNIT.
THE SUIT THAT WILL LETS A STREET
NOS EXPLORE LIKE NEVER BEFORE.
>> A NEW REAR OF EXPLORATION IS
BEGINNING.
NASA IS BUILDING ON THE
EXPERIENCE AND PREPARING TO GO
FURTHER.
ASSOCIATING UP A BASE CAMP IN
ORBIT AROUND THE NOON NEVER
KNOWN AS THE GATEWAY.
EXPLORING THE SURFACE OF THE
MOON, LIKE NEVER BEFORE.
AND PREPARING TO ONE DAY GO TO
MARS.
TO ACCOMPLISH ALL OF THIS, NASA
WILL NEED A NEW SPACESUIT FOR
ITS ASTRONAUTS, ONE THAT IS MORE
FLEXIBLE, VERSATILE, AND
DURABLE, THAN ANY MADE BEFORE.
ENGINEERS ARE NOW HARD AT WORK,
BUILDING, TESTING, MAKING SURE
IT'S UP TO THE TEST FOR FUTURE
EXPLORATIONS.

♪ SOME OF THE GREATEST MOMENTS
HAVE TAKEN PLACES WITH A HUMAN
IN A SPACESUIT, WHETHER IT WAS
THE FIRST JOURNEY OUTSIDE OF THE
SPACECRAFT, OR TRAVERSING
MOUNTAINOUS MOON SCAPE, THIS
SPACESUIT MADE IT POSSIBLE.
THE ACT OF SENDING A SUITED
HUMAN OUTSIDE OF THE SPACECRAFT
IS CALLED EVA.
>> WHAT IS AN EVA.
>> IT IS ACRONYM THAT STANES FOR
EXTRA VEHICULAR ACTIVITY WHICH
IS A SPACEWALK.
WE TAKES ASTRONAUT LET THEM GO
OUTSIDE IN THE VACUUM OF SPACE.
>> THE SPACESUITS CURRENTLY IN
USE FOR EVA'S WERE DESIGNED IN
THE 197 70'S.
FOR SPACE SHUTTLE MISSION.
THEY HAVE BEEN UPGRADED OVER THE
YEARS FOR WORK ON THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION.
AND HAVE SERVED NASA WELL.
ON THE PAST 20 YEARS, THERE ARE
A HANDFUL OF SPACEWALKS WITH HE
HAVE DONE AND DONE PLANNED
SPACEWALKS FOR MAINTENANCE AS
HARDWARE BREAKS WE CAN DO
SPACEWALKS AS WE IMPROVE AND
UPGRADE HARDWARE OR THE HUBBLE
SPACE TELESCOPE AND REPAIRING
SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENTS IN ORDER
TO ENABLE SCIENCE.
THOSE EVA'S TOOK PLACE IN
MICROGRAVITY WHERE THEY FLOAT
AND NEED TO USE THEIR HANDS TO
MOVE FROM PLACE TO PLACE.
BUZZ MOONWALKERS WORKING IN ONE
SIXTH EARTH'S GRAVITY WILL NEED
SPACESUITS TO LET THEM USE THE
HANDS AND FEET WALKING TO
DESTINATIONS AND BENDING AND
REACHING AS THEY EXPLORE FOR
THIS NEW TYPE OF WORK AS? HAS
BEEN TESTING PROTOTYPE PLANETARY
SUITS CULL MY MATING IN A NEW
SUIT DESIGN THE XEMU.
IT IS EXPLORATION, EXTRA
VEHICULAR ACTIVITY MOBILITY UNIT
SO EXPLORATION SPACESUIT SO IT
IS A SPACESUIT YOU WILL USE AS
WE MOVE FOR WE'RE ON GATEWAY
MISSION ON THE LUNAR MISSIONS
WITH THE ARTEMIS THEN WHERE WE
ARE USING THAT TO TASK THE SUITS
YOU WANT TO USE TO GO TO MARS SO
EVENTUALLY HAVE TO BE PENT AND
VERY CONFIDENT IN YOUR HARDWARE
WHEN YOU TO GO DO A MISSION THAT
FAR AWAY.
ONE MUCH THE MOST OBVIOUS
CHANGES IN THE NEW SPACESUIT IS
THE WAY THEY GET IN AND OUT OF
IT.
DONNING THE CURRENT SUIT IN THE
MULTISTEP PROCESS OF WRIGGLING
FROM THE UPPER TORSO AND GETTING
HELP ATTACHING A PAIR OF SPACE
PANTS THE NEW GENERATION
SPACESUIT FEATURES A HATCHBACK
WHERE THEY SIMPLY SLIDE IN AND
OUT OF THE ONE PIECE BODY OF THE
SUIT.
ANOTHER BIG FEATURE OF THE SUIT
IS THE WAY THE ASTROS ARE ABLE
TO MOVE WHILE WEARING IT.
APOLLO ASTRONAUTS LARNED THEY
HAD TO HOP TO GET AROUND ON THE
MOON.
THE SUIT DESIGN SOMETIMES MADE
IT DIFFICULT FOR THE ASTRONAUTS
TO WORK.
KAY WE SEE THAT WENT ALL THE
WAYNE.
>> NOT QUITE.
ENGINEERS LEARNED VALUABLE
LESSONS FROM THOSE SUITS.
HIM REMOVED DESIGN FOR THE NEXT
GENERATION SPACESUIT WILL ALLOW
ASTRONAUTS TO WALK ON THE MOON,
NOT HOP.
ADDITIONALLY, ASTRONAUTS WILL
EXPERIENCE AN IMPROVED RANGE OF
MOTION.
THE NEW SUITS ARE WORK NOW, WE
REALLY HOPE TO PROVIDE IMPROVED
MOBILITY AND COMFORT ALONG WITH
REDUCED, POTENTIAL AND REALLY
LIKE I SAID, PROVIDES THE BEST
TOOL WE CAN PROVIDE THEN WE WANT
TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THEM THE
ABILITY TO KNEEL DOWN, PICK UP A
ROCK, LIKE THEY DO THE GEOLOGY
THEY ARE WORK ON AND WENT WANT
TO BE RELIABLE DURABLE SUIT THEY
CAN USE DAY AFTER DAY AND NOT
HAVE TO DO MAINTENANCE WITH IT
WHILE THEY ARE NEEDING TO DO
THEIR MISSION SO THERE IS A LOT
OF THOSE ASPECTS THAT GO INTO
IMPROVING THE SUIT WE WILL
PROVIDE FOR THE LUNAR MISSION.
>> I AM PROVED MOBILITY IS NOT
THE ONLY FEATURE ENGINEERS HAVE
BEEN WORKING ON.
THE ASTRONAUTS WILL ALSO BE
CARRYING A SPECIAL BACKPACK.
KNOWN AS THE PORTABLE LIFE
SUPPORT SYSTEM.
THE BACK PACK AND THE SPACESUIT
THAT HAS THE INTERESTING PARTS
TO KEEP THE CREW NECK ALIVE LIVE
WHILE ON THE SPACEWALK AND
OXYGEN, STORED AS GAS, FOR
BREATH, PRESSURE REGULATORS THAT
REGULATE INSIDE OF THE SPACESUIT
THE VENTILATION LOOP AND WATER
LOOP WE CALL THE THERMAL LOOP
THAT PROVIDES TRACE CONTAMINANT
AND CARBON DIOXIDE FROM THIS
BREATHING ENVIRONMENT IN THE
COOLING FOR THE CREW MEMBER AND
THE SUIT ONBOARD THE SYSTEM.
WHILE THE PLSS HAS BEEN ON
PREVIOUS SPACESUITS WHERE THIS
HE AM PROVED VERSION WILL OFFER
GREATER CONTROL OF THE SYSTEMS
FOR THE ASTRONAUTS.
AND LONGER LIFE FOR EACH EVA.
ALLOWING MORE EXPLORATION.
>> THE PLSS LABS ARE AWESOME,
SUPER FUN PLACE.
WE ASSEMBLE THE SUPPORTS THEN WE
TEST.
IT IS OUR OPPORTUNITY TO FIND
THINGS AND FIX THINGS BEFORE WE
GIT ON ORBIT.
LOVE WITH WHAT WE DO.
WE WANT TO SEE THE SYSTEM FLY
AND BE USEFUL AND HELP A PERSON
EXPLORE THE MOON IN A MORE CAP
CAN MANNER THAN THEY WERE ABLE
TO DO DURING APOLLO, SO IT IS A
GREAT JOB.
1:00.
>> SO I WANT YOU TO PERFORM
ISOLATED JOINT MOMENT TO
UNDERSTAND HOW THE SUIT MOVES.
>> TESTING FOR THE NEW SPACESUIT
CONTINUES UNDER WATER IN THE
NEUTRAL BUOYANCY LAB HERE THE
WEIGHTLESS ENVIRONMENT OF SPACE
CAN BE SIMULATED TO PUT THE SUIT
THROUGH THE PACES.
SO BEING ABLE TO TEST THE SUIT
IN THE POOL IN MICROGRAVITY
VINYLS ALLOWS US TO ARE RATE ON
DESIGN AND MAKE IT BETTER AND
GET FEEDBACK FROM ASTRONAUTS AND
OTHER STRINGERS OF TRAINING.
>> CUE REACH ALL THE WAY ACROSS
AND DO THE CROSS SWITCHES WITH
THE OPPOSITE ARM.
A YEAH.
IT IS REAL EASY.
>> TO GET THE SWITCHES WITH MY
OPPOSITE ARM.
I WOULD RANK AS EXCELLENT.
COME ON.
I WILL GET LOWER.
IT IS FLATTER.
>> YEAH.
>> VERY GOOD.
SO IF IT COULD HAPPEN IN REAL
LIFE, THIS IS SPECTACULAR
TRANSLATION.
WE ARE VERY LUCKY.
IT IS LIKE BRAND-NEW SPACECRAFT.
>> EVEN THE NEW CELL AND
EVERYTHING.
>> IT DOES.
>> SPACESUITS ARE ALSO TESTED IN
THE ACTIVE RESPONSE GRAVITY
OFFLOAD SYSTEM.
YEAH.
SO THE ARGOS ELECTRONICALLY IS
ABLE TO TUNE ASTRONAUTS NOW
EXACTLY TO WHATEVER GRAVE AT
THIS TIME THAT IS WE'RE
PRACTICING THAT DAY.
WHETHER IT IS MY CROW GRAVITY,
LUNAR GRAVITY OR MARTIAL
GRAVITY.
THE OTHER NICE THING ABOUT ARGOS
YOU ARE ABLE TO GET RIGHT NEXT
TO THE ASTRONAUTS THEY ARE
WORKING HELPING FIGURE OUT A
PROBLEM AS THEY WORK THROUGH THE
DEVELOPMENT OF THE TEST FOR THE
SUIT OR A PIECE OF HARDWARE GET
THE REAL-TIME FEEDBACK.
SPACESUIT HARD WAY IS NOT THE
ONLY THING BEING TESTED ON
EARTH.
NASA IS LOOKING AT HUMAN
PERFORMANCE AS IMPORTANT FACTOR
IN DESIGNING EVA'S IN SPACESUIT.
RELATED TO A SPACESUIT.
A LOT OF TIMES PEOPLE THINK
ABOUT THE HARDWARE THE DIFFERENT
PIECES BUT I WANT TO LOOK AT THE
EVA SCENARIO THE HUMAN INSIDE OF
THE SUIT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY
ARE PERFORMING BOTH PHYSICALLY,
COGNITIVELY IS GOING WELL AND
LOOK AT THING LIKE PHYSICAL EX
CERTIFICATION, COGNITIVE WORK
ARE WORKLOAD, INJURY RIGS K,
TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY
ARE NOT IMPAIRED BY THE EVA
SYSTEM ANSWER MORE THAN THEY
HAVE TO BE.
THE NASA TEAM USES VIRTUAL
REALITY TECHNOLOGY.
MOTION CAPTURE AND OTHER TOOLS
TO STUDY WHAT IT TAKES FOR HUMAN
TO CONDUCT EVA.
WE'RE ABLE TO DO IS BRING ACTUAL
NO KIDDING DATA TO THE TABLE
THAT REALLY MOVES THE OPINIONS.
THAT IS OUR PRIMARY BENEFIT FOR
HOW WE KIND OF ENHANCE EVA COME
INS AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT THIS
NOT FROM THE HARDWARE BUT
OPERATION STANDPOINT FIRST AND
FIRST AT THE HUMAN THEN SAY WHAT
DO THEY NEED BE ABLE TO DO TO BE
READY FOR THE JOB.
ALL THE WORKSHOP THE SPACESUIT
HERE ON EARTH IS BUILDING UP TO
THE ULTIMATE TEST.
TO FLY IT IN SPACE.
>> SEW WE'RE BUILDING A FLIGHT
UNIT XCMU AND LAUNCH TO IT THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION AND
WE'LL DO EVA WITH CURRENT
SPACESUIT AND EMU THAT WE USE
TODAY AND WE'LL GO OUT IN PAIRS
AND HAVE BEEN THE ASTRONAUT
WORKING TOGETHER.
WITHIN IN THE OLD SUIT AND THE
NEW SUIT.
WE'LL TEST THE FUNCTIONALLY TIN
A LOW GRAVITY ENVIRONMENT OUT IN
THE VACUUM OF SPACE THAT WILL
HOPE US TEST A LOT OF THE
SYSTEMS.
EVA ON THE SPACE STATION WILL
SET THE STAGE FOR THE FUTURE.
WHEN THE SUIT WILL NEED TO
PERFORM A VARIETY OF MISSIONS
BEYOND LOW EARTH ORBIT.
>> YEAH.
SO A GREAT EX PEAL IS NASA'S
GATEWAY.
SO EVEN THOUGH IT IS IN LUNAR
ORBIT, IT IS STILL A
MICROGRAVITY PLATFORM SOS A
STREET NOS WOULD BE FLOATING IN
SPACE SO USE THE LESSONS WOE
LEARNED FROM THE INTERNATIONAL
SPACE STATION TO USE SPACEWALK
ON THE GATEWAY AND REALLY
ADVANTAGE US TO USE ONE
SPACESUIT IN AT GATE WANES THE
LUNAR SURFACE SO THEY CAN DO
BOTH OF THOSE THINGS.
FOR EVA'S ON THE MOON, THE NEW
SPACESUIT WILL GIVE ASTRONAUTS
UNPRECEDENTED ABILITIES AS THEY
EXPLORE THE LUNAR SURFACE.
>> REALLY THIS IS THE FIRST TIME
WE ARE TRYING TO BRING A SUIT
THAT IS OPTIMIZED FOR HUMAN
PERFORMANCE AND OPTIMIZED FOR
LUNAR EXPLORATION SO YOU CAN
ACTUALLY BEEN DOWN, INTERACT
WITH THE GROUND SO YOU HAVE THE
VISIBILITY YOU NEED, THE
MOBILITY YOU NEED ACCOMPLISH
THESE TASKS?
NEW SUIT WILL ALLOW US THE
SELECTION ABILITY TO DO
EXPLORATION.
GET DOWN TON THE SURFACE AND
SEND GEOLOGIST THE SURFACE AND
REALLY LET THEM ACT LIKE
GEOLOGIST IN A SPACESUIT.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT A
SUIT LIKE THAT WILL HAVE BEEN
CREATED AND REALLY EXCITING TO
BE ART PART OF THAT TO DO WHAT
NASA WAS MEANT TO DID AND THIS
IS TO DO EXPLORATION.
THE SUIT WILL REALLY HELP ENABLE
THE AGENCY TO GO DO EXPLORATION.
>> EVERYONE MY GENERATION WAS
NOT ALIVE AT THIS TIME WE WENT
TO THE MOON AND WANTON DO IT
AGAIN AND WANT TO DO IT BETTER.
WE WANT TO DO MORE SCIENCE.
WE WANT TO STAY LONGER.
WE WANT TO GET MORE OF IT.
WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY DO IT
NOW.
SO WOE ARE EXCITED ABOUT IT.
>> WITH THE NEW TECHNOLOGY, NEW
DESIGN, AND GREATER MOBILITY,
AND GREATER VERSATILITY IN HOW
IT CAN USED, NASA'S NEW
SPACEWALKING SUIT IS TRULY
TAILORED FOR THE NEXT GENERATION
OF SPACE EXPLORERS.
