00:00:15.730 --> 00:00:21.880
 TDRS-H is the first in a series of three advanced Tracking and Data Relay satellites that 

5
00:00:21.880 --> 00:00:27.250
 provide high data-rate support to the International Space Station and Space Shuttle. 

6
00:00:27.250 --> 00:00:33.680
 One of the major enhancements for this TDRS group is the ability to provide high data-rate 

7
00:00:33.680 --> 00:00:38.880
 support to the ISS and Space Shuttle with high-resolution digital television. 

8
00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:42.660
 The trio can also relay enormous volumes of data at rates 

9
00:00:42.660 --> 00:00:46.730
 thousands of times faster than the standard home computer.
