Thanks to all of you for sending us such great questions. Two lucky winners are about to find out that they'll

00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:15.000
be getting NOAA-N mission gift packs. Gift packs include a NOAA-N mission poster, patch, fact sheet and a lapel pin.

00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:24.000
Winners are for today's Webcast, are John from Capac and Harriet from Baton Rouge.

00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:33.000
One of our next NASA Direct Webcast will highlight NASA's exciting Return to Flight Space Shuttle mission STS-114. Here's what's coming.

00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:55.000
Primarily, STS-114 is a re-supply, re-servicing, repair mission of the International Space Station

00:00:55.000 --> 00:01:04.000
I'm a robotics operater on both the shuttle arm, helping out with the inspection process with the inspection boom and sensors and all those things

00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:11.000
On the first EVA, first spacewalks, they will be dedicated to demonstration of the repair techniques

00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:18.000
We're going to take new materials up there, we're going to fix some broken things and we're going to test some of the things we

00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:22.000
need to learn to inspect and repair our own Space Shuttle.

00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:29.000
The Space Station's teaching us what is required of us as humans to live and function in space.  It's teaching us what is the

00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:33.000
consequence of living in space on us as human beings.

00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:40.000
We have a Multi-Purpose Logistics Module in the payload bay that's going to be carrying thousands of pounds of equipment

00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:46.000
and food and other items for the Space Station and we'll install that on flight day 4

00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:55.000
We basically position the orbiter beneath the space station about 600 feet below and Eileen and Vegas will put the orbiter into a

00:01:55.000 --> 00:02:01.000
pitch maneuver which basically pirouettes or rotates 360 degrees.

00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:29.000

00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:37.000
Don't forget to join our Virtual Launch Control Center on Wednesday at 1 a.m. Pacific time to see live coverage of the NOAA-N launch.

00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:42.000
Thanks so much for joining us. I'm Tiffany Nail.
