resistant computers to handle the harsh


00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:39.790
environment of space it's a packed show


00:00:39.800 --> 00:00:41.510
that highlights just how quickly space


00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:43.270
technology and our understanding of the


00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:46.350
cosmos continue to evolve so let's get


00:00:46.360 --> 00:00:48.510
started let's kick the news off today


00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:51.389
with a quick update blue origin the


00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:53.790
space Venture founded by Jeff Bezos has


00:00:53.800 --> 00:00:55.709
postponed the inaugural flight of its


00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:58.389
new Glenn rocket the launch initially


00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:00.150
set for early Monday morning at Cape


00:01:00.160 --> 00:01:02.630
Canaveral faced multiple delays due to


00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:04.750
technical issues and unfavorable weather


00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:07.149
conditions an icing problem in a purge


00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:09.510
line crucial for the Rockets hydraulic


00:01:09.520 --> 00:01:11.710
systems was identified during the


00:01:11.720 --> 00:01:14.070
countdown this combined with high seas


00:01:14.080 --> 00:01:15.550
affecting the booster planned ocean


00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:17.910
Landing led to the decision to stand


00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:20.149
down the company now aims for a


00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:21.990
potential launch on Thursday with a


00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:23.950
3-hour window starting at 1:00 a.m.


00:01:23.960 --> 00:01:27.910
eastern time standing at 320 ft the new


00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:29.910
Glenn rocket is named in honor of AST


00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:32.190
Astronaut John Glenn it's designed to


00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:34.030
carry heavy payloads and features a


00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:36.710
reusable first stage booster marking a


00:01:36.720 --> 00:01:38.830
significant step forward in blue Origins


00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:40.789
mission to make space travel more


00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:43.510
sustainable and cost effective this


00:01:43.520 --> 00:01:46.270
Mission dubbed ng1 is set to carry a


00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:48.670
prototype of the blue ring spacecraft


00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:51.149
intended for future deep space missions


00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:52.950
a successful launch would position blue


00:01:52.960 --> 00:01:55.069
origin as a formidable competitor in the


00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:57.350
commercial space sector challenging the


00:01:57.360 --> 00:02:00.510
dominance of Elon musk's SpaceX


00:02:00.520 --> 00:02:03.069
while the delay is undoubtedly a setback


00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:04.830
it's a reminder of the complexities


00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:06.429
involved in space


00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:08.749
exploration each challenge presents an


00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:11.630
opportunity for growth and Innovation as


00:02:11.640 --> 00:02:14.350
Jeff Bezos himself has emphasized gratit


00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:17.070
team ferociter step by step


00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:19.070
ferociously we'll keep you updated on


00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:20.589
Blue Origins progress and the


00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:23.350
rescheduled launch astronomers may have


00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:25.350
finally cracked a long-standing cosmic


00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:27.190
mystery about one of our Galaxy's most


00:02:27.200 --> 00:02:30.390
intriguing features the gd1 Stellar


00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:32.750
stream this ribbon-like structure of


00:02:32.760 --> 00:02:34.350
stars which stretches across our


00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:36.949
Galaxy's Halo has puzzled scientists for


00:02:36.959 --> 00:02:38.910
years due to its unusual patterns of


00:02:38.920 --> 00:02:41.070
gaps and Spurs that seem to defy


00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:42.270
conventional


00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:44.589
explanations a team led by researchers


00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:46.030
at the University of California


00:02:46.040 --> 00:02:48.190
Riverside has proposed an exciting


00:02:48.200 --> 00:02:50.390
solution involving dark matter but not


00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:52.630
just any dark matter their research


00:02:52.640 --> 00:02:54.589
suggests these distinctive features were


00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:56.309
created by what's called a


00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:59.190
self-interacting dark matter sub Halo a


00:02:59.200 --> 00:03:00.990
dense concent contion of dark matter


00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:02.589
that behaves differently than the


00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:04.470
traditional cold Dark Matter model we're


00:03:04.480 --> 00:03:07.110
familiar with what makes this discovery


00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:09.430
particularly fascinating is that the


00:03:09.440 --> 00:03:11.670
density needed to create these unusual


00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:15.070
patterns in gd1 is much higher than what


00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:16.789
we'd expect from conventional Dark


00:03:16.799 --> 00:03:19.190
Matter theories the research team found


00:03:19.200 --> 00:03:21.149
that only a collapsing subh of


00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:23.229
self-interacting Dark Matter could


00:03:23.239 --> 00:03:25.470
achieve the necessary density to produce


00:03:25.480 --> 00:03:28.350
these distinctive features we observe


00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:29.949
this isn't just about solving one


00:03:29.959 --> 00:03:32.630
mysterious structure in our galaxy if


00:03:32.640 --> 00:03:34.229
confirmed these findings could


00:03:34.239 --> 00:03:35.949
fundamentally change our understanding


00:03:35.959 --> 00:03:38.869
of Dark Matter itself remember Dark


00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:41.630
Matter makes up about 85% of all matter


00:03:41.640 --> 00:03:43.710
in the universe yet we still know


00:03:43.720 --> 00:03:46.429
remarkably little about its true nature


00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:48.350
This research suggests that dark matter


00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:50.070
particles might interact with each other


00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:52.509
through a new kind of force rather than


00:03:52.519 --> 00:03:54.309
being completely invisible to one


00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:56.949
another as previously thought the team


00:03:56.959 --> 00:03:58.949
used sophisticated computer simulations


00:03:58.959 --> 00:04:00.910
to model how this self-interacting Dark


00:04:00.920 --> 00:04:03.030
Matter would behave and the results


00:04:03.040 --> 00:04:04.750
matched perfectly with the observed


00:04:04.760 --> 00:04:07.869
features in the gd1 Stream it's like


00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:09.470
finding the missing piece of a puzzle


00:04:09.480 --> 00:04:10.949
that's been sitting on the table for


00:04:10.959 --> 00:04:13.390
years suddenly revealing a whole new


00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:15.270
picture of how our galaxy


00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:17.670
Works what's particularly exciting about


00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:20.189
this discovery is that it opens up new


00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:23.230
ways to study dark matter by looking at


00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:25.510
Stellar streams like gd1 we might be


00:04:25.520 --> 00:04:27.469
able to better understand not just where


00:04:27.479 --> 00:04:29.870
dark matter is but how it behaves and


00:04:29.880 --> 00:04:32.350
interacts with itself something that


00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:34.230
could revolutionize our understanding of


00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:36.590
the universe's fundamental


00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:39.310
structure next a little mystery from


00:04:39.320 --> 00:04:41.390
China that has set the space Community


00:04:41.400 --> 00:04:43.710
buzzing in a remarkable display of


00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:45.950
technological advancement China space


00:04:45.960 --> 00:04:47.990
program has taken a significant Leap


00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:50.350
Forward conducting tests of five


00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:52.350
different rocket engines all in a single


00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:54.550
day the China Aerospace Science and


00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:57.070
Technology Corporation or Cass carried


00:04:57.080 --> 00:04:58.629
out these tests at two separate


00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:01.150
locations Beijing and lwan county in


00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:04.029
heay Province one of the most notable


00:05:04.039 --> 00:05:06.270
tests involved a new hydrogen oxygen


00:05:06.280 --> 00:05:09.029
engine designed for upper stage Rockets


00:05:09.039 --> 00:05:11.310
during its 100 second test firing


00:05:11.320 --> 00:05:13.189
Engineers gathered crucial performance


00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:15.110
data that could pave the way for future


00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:17.469
missions this wasn't just any routine


00:05:17.479 --> 00:05:20.110
test it's believed to be connected to


00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:22.029
China's ambitious plans for crude lunar


00:05:22.039 --> 00:05:24.309
missions specifically their Long March


00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:26.790
10th launcher program but that's not all


00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:29.670
that was tested that day in Beijing and


00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:31.350
Engineers put three different engines


00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:33.990
through their Paces a main engine an


00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:36.189
upper stage engine and a reaction and


00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:38.710
Orbit Control engine while specific


00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:40.150
details about which Rockets these


00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:42.430
engines are destined for remain Under


00:05:42.440 --> 00:05:44.309
Wraps it's clear that China is


00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:47.270
developing multiple launch capability


00:05:47.280 --> 00:05:49.950
simultaneously perhaps most intriguingly


00:05:49.960 --> 00:05:51.870
the testing day included a methane


00:05:51.880 --> 00:05:54.469
liquid oxygen engine at the liwan


00:05:54.479 --> 00:05:56.830
facility this type of engine represents


00:05:56.840 --> 00:05:59.029
The Cutting Edge of Rocket technology


00:05:59.039 --> 00:06:00.830
with several Chinese companies already


00:06:00.840 --> 00:06:03.309
developing similar systems it's worth


00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:05.029
noting that Cassie is working on a


00:06:05.039 --> 00:06:07.390
particularly powerful version for their


00:06:07.400 --> 00:06:10.510
Long March 9th Mega rocket project these


00:06:10.520 --> 00:06:12.350
tests signal China's commitment to


00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:14.309
developing a diverse range of Rocket


00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:16.830
Technologies from deep space exploration


00:06:16.840 --> 00:06:19.589
vehicles to heavy lift Rockets according


00:06:19.599 --> 00:06:21.430
to KSC Engineers this is just the


00:06:21.440 --> 00:06:23.230
beginning they're planning to conduct


00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:24.870
even more research and testing of


00:06:24.880 --> 00:06:26.790
various engine types for China's major


00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:29.029
space projects suggesting we might see


00:06:29.039 --> 00:06:31.070
several new Chinese Rockets debut in the


00:06:31.080 --> 00:06:33.909
coming year this coordinated testing


00:06:33.919 --> 00:06:35.710
effort demonstrates China's growing


00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:38.070
capabilities in space technology and


00:06:38.080 --> 00:06:39.790
their determination to become a major


00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:42.510
player in space exploration with these


00:06:42.520 --> 00:06:44.070
successful tests they're laying the


00:06:44.080 --> 00:06:46.150
groundwork for increasingly ambitious


00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:48.670
missions from lunar exploration to


00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:50.510
potential Mars


00:06:50.520 --> 00:06:53.710
voyages meanwhile back in the States the


00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:55.830
Artemis ones Orion spacecraft has made


00:06:55.840 --> 00:06:57.830
its way back to Kennedy Space Center


00:06:57.840 --> 00:07:00.029
after completing an extensive 11 month


00:07:00.039 --> 00:07:03.189
testing campaign in Ohio now designated


00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:05.550
as the Orion environmental test article


00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:07.830
or ETA this spacecraft has already


00:07:07.840 --> 00:07:09.309
proven its worth during its historic


00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:11.350
Journey around the moon but its mission


00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:13.510
to advance space exploration is far from


00:07:13.520 --> 00:07:16.070
over after splashing down in the Pacific


00:07:16.080 --> 00:07:18.589
Ocean following its lunar Adventure the


00:07:18.599 --> 00:07:20.350
spacecraft was transported across the


00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:22.550
country to Florida where it underwent


00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:25.029
its first round of modifications but it


00:07:25.039 --> 00:07:26.909
was at NASA's Neil Armstrong test


00:07:26.919 --> 00:07:29.749
facility in sanduski Ohio where the real


00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:31.790
intensive testing took place preparing


00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:33.830
it for even more challenging future


00:07:33.840 --> 00:07:35.830
missions now back at Kennedy's


00:07:35.840 --> 00:07:38.070
multi-payload processing facility


00:07:38.080 --> 00:07:39.869
Engineers are gearing up for a crucial


00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:41.749
series of tests focusing on the


00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:44.350
spacecraft's propulsion systems of


00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:46.629
particular interest are the 12 reaction


00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:48.589
control system thrusters which will


00:07:48.599 --> 00:07:51.550
undergo simulated hot fire testing these


00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:53.670
thrusters are absolutely vital for


00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:55.510
controlling the spacecraft's rotation


00:07:55.520 --> 00:07:58.110
during orbit re-entry and potential


00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:00.029
abort scenarios


00:08:00.039 --> 00:08:02.309
but the testing doesn't stop there the


00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:03.909
spacecraft will soon make its way to

opens early Wednesday morning at 1:11


00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:05.430
a.m. eastern time marking what promises


00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:07.069
to be a busy year of missions to the


00:09:07.079 --> 00:09:09.430
moon the two spacecrafts sharing this


00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:11.230
historic ride are Firefly aerospace's


00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:13.430

00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:25.550
attempt at achieving a successful moon


00:09:25.560 --> 00:09:27.630
landing these missions will follow


00:09:27.640 --> 00:09:29.430
distinctly different trajectories after


00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:31.949
separation from the Falcon 9 blue Ghost


00:09:31.959 --> 00:09:34.110
will spend about 25 days in Earth orbit


00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:35.630
before initiating its Journey To The


00:09:35.640 --> 00:09:38.190
Moon after another 20 days including


00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:40.790
four days of Transit and 16 days in


00:09:40.800 --> 00:09:43.190
lunar orbit it will attempt to touch


00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:45.630
down in marrum the sea of


00:09:45.640 --> 00:09:48.350
crises once on the surface it will


00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:50.030
conduct two weeks of scientific


00:09:50.040 --> 00:09:52.870
operations before capturing one final


00:09:52.880 --> 00:09:56.069
dramatic image of the lunar Sunset


00:09:56.079 --> 00:09:57.630
resilience on the other hand will take a


00:09:57.640 --> 00:09:59.949
more gradual approach spending four to 5


00:09:59.959 --> 00:10:01.790
months reaching its


00:10:01.800 --> 00:10:04.030
destination this extended timeline


00:10:04.040 --> 00:10:06.110
reflects Lessons Learned From I space's


00:10:06.120 --> 00:10:08.509
first mission which reached lunar orbit


00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:10.110
but unfortunately crashed during its


00:10:10.120 --> 00:10:12.269
Landing attempt last April the


00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:14.269
spacecraft features significant upgrades


00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:16.630
to both hardware and software aiming to


00:10:16.640 --> 00:10:19.069
succeed where its predecessor fell short


00:10:19.079 --> 00:10:21.389
the mission's target is Mayor fioras the


00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:23.870
Sea of cold in the moon's Northern


00:10:23.880 --> 00:10:26.190
Hemisphere there it will deploy a small


00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:28.389
Rover named tenacious which will collect


00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:31.030
lunar dust samples as part of a NASA


00:10:31.040 --> 00:10:33.430
contract this careful milestone-based


00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:35.470
approach demonstrates I space's


00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:36.949
commitment to achieving the first


00:10:36.959 --> 00:10:38.990
successful private Japanese landing on


00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:41.310
the moon these launches kick off what


00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:43.550
promises to be an extraordinarily active


00:10:43.560 --> 00:10:46.389
year for lunar Exploration with multiple


00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:48.110
missions planned by various companies


00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:50.470
and space agencies from intuitive


00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:53.110
machines upcoming im2 mission to Blue


00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:54.790
origin's development of their lunar


00:10:54.800 --> 00:10:57.110
lander we're witnessing the dawn of a


00:10:57.120 --> 00:11:00.949
new era in commercial lunar exploration


00:11:00.959 --> 00:11:02.430
computers have become absolutely


00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:04.829
essential for space exploration but they


00:11:04.839 --> 00:11:06.470
face a serious challenge that we don't


00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:09.150
have to worry about here on Earth


00:11:09.160 --> 00:11:11.350
radiation while our planet's magnetic


00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:12.949
field and atmosphere protect our


00:11:12.959 --> 00:11:14.790
Electronics from harmful radiation


00:11:14.800 --> 00:11:16.590
spacecraft computers have to cope with


00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:18.590
direct exposure to high energy particles


00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:21.430
from the Sun and cosmic rays the effects


00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:23.670
can be severe even a single blast of


00:11:23.680 --> 00:11:25.629
radiation can cause what scientists call


00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:27.870
a single event effect potentially


00:11:27.880 --> 00:11:29.629
corrupting data or causing system


00:11:29.639 --> 00:11:31.629
crashes that could jeopardize entire


00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:34.150
missions that's why NASA is now testing


00:11:34.160 --> 00:11:36.509
an Innovative solution the radiation


00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:40.030
tolerant computer or ratty PC for short


00:11:40.040 --> 00:11:41.670
this remarkable piece of technology is


00:11:41.680 --> 00:11:43.590
scheduled for its first real world test


00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:45.470
aboard the upcoming Blu ghost lunar


00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:48.190
Mission what makes the rad PC special is


00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:50.269
its ability to Monitor and repair itself


00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:52.949
in real time it uses special processors


00:11:52.959 --> 00:11:54.949
called programmable gate arrays that can


00:11:54.959 --> 00:11:56.509
detect when they've been struck by


00:11:56.519 --> 00:11:58.910
radiation and automatically fix any


00:11:58.920 --> 00:12:01.110
damage without interrupting normal


00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:03.389
operations the system also includes


00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:06.269
radiation sensors or dosimeters that


00:12:06.279 --> 00:12:08.030
will continuously measure radiation


00:12:08.040 --> 00:12:10.389
levels during the Journey To The Moon


00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:12.430
this will provide valuable data about


00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:14.269
how radiation levels change as


00:12:14.279 --> 00:12:16.150
spacecraft move through Earth's


00:12:16.160 --> 00:12:18.829
magnetosphere and into deep space as


00:12:18.839 --> 00:12:20.550
well as detailed information about


00:12:20.560 --> 00:12:23.590
radiation conditions at the Landing site


00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:25.829
if successful the rad PC could


00:12:25.839 --> 00:12:27.990
revolutionize space Computing its


00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:29.670
self-healing capabilities could make


00:12:29.680 --> 00:12:31.550
future spacecraft computers far more


00:12:31.560 --> 00:12:33.949
resilient and reliable especially for


00:12:33.959 --> 00:12:35.829
long duration missions where radiation


00:12:35.839 --> 00:12:38.350
exposure is inevitable this kind of


00:12:38.360 --> 00:12:40.069
advancement is crucial as we push


00:12:40.079 --> 00:12:42.269
further into space whether it's


00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:43.949
establishing a permanent presence on the


00:12:43.959 --> 00:12:47.990
moon or eventually sending humans to


00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:50.710
Mars and that brings us to the end of
