aboard a crew Dragon spacecraft but for


00:05:57.919 --> 00:05:59.909
two of them Butch Wilmore and Sunni


00:05:59.919 --> 00:06:02.070
Williams this Mission has taken some


00:06:02.080 --> 00:06:04.950
unexpected turns what began as an 8-day


00:06:04.960 --> 00:06:07.430
mission on Boeing Starliner spacecraft


00:06:07.440 --> 00:06:09.309
has stretched into an 8-month stay


00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:11.670
aboard the International Space Station


00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:13.309
the extended duration came after


00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:15.150
technical issues with Starliner forced


00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:17.790
NASA to modify their plans during the


00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:19.870
spacecraft's flight to the ISS it


00:06:19.880 --> 00:06:21.510
experienced Thruster problems and


00:06:21.520 --> 00:06:24.270
concerning helium leaks this led to the


00:06:24.280 --> 00:06:26.309
decision in August to return Starliner


00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:28.670
to Earth uncrewed leaving Wilmore and


00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:31.189
Williams to join the the crew n Mission


00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:33.230
their stay was further extended when


00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:35.710
SpaceX encountered development issues


00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:37.870
with their crew Dragon spacecraft


00:06:37.880 --> 00:06:39.589
pushing the return date out another


00:06:39.599 --> 00:06:42.350
month to March this situation has


00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:44.270
recently attracted attention beyond the


00:06:44.280 --> 00:06:46.309
space Community becoming somewhat


00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:48.230
politicized after comments from various


00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:49.070
public


00:06:49.080 --> 00:06:51.309
figures during a news conference this


00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:53.550
week from orbit Wilmore addressed these


00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:56.070
developments headon he expressed respect


00:06:56.080 --> 00:06:57.869
for all parties involved while


00:06:57.879 --> 00:06:59.990
emphasizing that politics played no role


00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:02.950
in their extended stay as he explained


00:07:02.960 --> 00:07:04.670
they had prepared for the possibility of


00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:06.629
a longer Mission even though the


00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:09.350
original plan was for a short stay this


00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:11.950
kind of contingency planning he noted is


00:07:11.960 --> 00:07:14.390
standard practice in human space flight


00:07:14.400 --> 00:07:16.270
his crewmate Sunni Williams took the


00:07:16.280 --> 00:07:18.230
opportunity to highlight the ongoing


00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:21.309
value of the International Space Station


00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:23.469
drawing on her extensive experience


00:07:23.479 --> 00:07:25.230
including helping construct the station


00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:27.670
during the shuttle era she described it


00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:30.550
as being in its prime the laboratory she


00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:32.830
explained is operating at full capacity


00:07:32.840 --> 00:07:34.629
with all Power Systems and Facilities


00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:36.869

00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:39.309
that benefits both American taxpayers


00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:40.990
and international


00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:43.390
Partners this Mission while longer than


00:07:43.400 --> 00:07:45.309
initially planned demonstrates the


00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:47.430
flexibility and resilience required in


00:07:47.440 --> 00:07:50.350
space exploration it also showcases the


00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:51.790

00:07:55.080 --> 00:07:56.990
International Space Station as a


00:07:57.000 --> 00:07:58.629
platform for scientific research and


00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:00.469
international Cooper


00:08:00.479 --> 00:08:03.710
operation next up NASA and the Italian


00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:06.550
space agency just achieved a remarkable


00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:09.149
breakthrough in space navigation for the


00:08:09.159 --> 00:08:11.469
first time ever they successfully


00:08:11.479 --> 00:08:13.469
received and tracked GPS signals on the


00:08:13.479 --> 00:08:17.070
lunar surface approximately 225,000 mi


00:08:17.080 --> 00:08:19.350
from Earth this historic achievement


00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:21.629
came through their lunar gnss receiver


00:08:21.639 --> 00:08:23.909
experiment or lug gray which touched


00:08:23.919 --> 00:08:25.469
down on the moon aboard Firefly


00:08:25.479 --> 00:08:28.510
aerospace's Blue Ghost lunar lander the


00:08:28.520 --> 00:08:30.670
implications of this success are truly


00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:32.790
gamechanging for future space


00:08:32.800 --> 00:08:34.990
exploration until now spacecraft


00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:36.709
navigation has relied heavily on


00:08:36.719 --> 00:08:38.389
earth-based tracking stations and


00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:41.029
onboard sensors but this demonstration


00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:42.909
proves that missions as far away as the


00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:45.230
moon could potentially use GPS signals


00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:47.790
for autonomous navigation significantly


00:08:47.800 --> 00:08:49.790
reducing their dependence on ground


00:08:49.800 --> 00:08:52.230
control the experiment didn't just break


00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:54.590
records on the lunar surface during its


00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:56.750
Journey To The Moon Luger set new


00:08:56.760 --> 00:08:58.590
altitude records for GPS signal


00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:01.150
reception reaching an astounding


00:09:01.160 --> 00:09:03.990
29,900 miles from Earth while in transit


00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:05.949
and later extending that record to


00:09:05.959 --> 00:09:09.110
243,000 Mi in lunar orbit this means


00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:11.030
that spacecraft operating in CS lunar


00:09:11.040 --> 00:09:13.430
space the vast region between Earth and


00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:15.630
the Moon could also benefit from this


00:09:15.640 --> 00:09:16.710
navigation


00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:18.910
capability the lugre payload will


00:09:18.920 --> 00:09:20.910
continue operating for 14 days on the


00:09:20.920 --> 00:09:23.790
lunar surface collecting data nearly


00:09:23.800 --> 00:09:25.910
continuously this extended operation


00:09:25.920 --> 00:09:27.870
period will provide NASA and the Italian


00:09:27.880 --> 00:09:30.470
space agency with valuable insights into


00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:32.550
how GPS and Galileo signals can be


00:09:32.560 --> 00:09:34.990
utilized for lunar navigation it's


00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:37.110
particularly significant for future emis


00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:38.829
missions and other exploration


00:09:38.839 --> 00:09:40.870
initiatives as it opens up new


00:09:40.880 --> 00:09:42.870
possibilities for precise positioning


00:09:42.880 --> 00:09:45.710
and navigation on and around the moon


00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:47.430
this breakthrough represents another


00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:49.190
crucial step in establishing the


00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:51.069
infrastructure needed for sustainable


00:09:51.079 --> 00:09:53.790
lunar exploration and eventual missions


00:09:53.800 --> 00:09:56.870
to Mars the ability to use familiar


00:09:56.880 --> 00:09:58.990
navigation technology from Earth all the


00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:00.910
way to the moon brings us one step


00:10:00.920 --> 00:10:03.069
closer to making space exploration more


00:10:03.079 --> 00:10:05.030
accessible and


00:10:05.040 --> 00:10:07.550
reliable in other exciting scientific


00:10:07.560 --> 00:10:09.509
developments researchers may have


00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:11.750
finally cracked a 60-year-old Cosmic


00:10:11.760 --> 00:10:14.069
mystery about the origin of ultra high


00:10:14.079 --> 00:10:16.829
energy cosmic rays the highest energy


00:10:16.839 --> 00:10:19.269
particles known in the universe these


00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:21.030
particles pack energies more than a


00:10:21.040 --> 00:10:22.870
million times greater than anything we


00:10:22.880 --> 00:10:25.470
can create in our most powerful particle


00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:27.630
accelerators according to new research


00:10:27.640 --> 00:10:29.470
from New York University these


00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:31.630
incredible cosmic rays might be created


00:10:31.640 --> 00:10:33.630
during the violent mergers of binary


00:10:33.640 --> 00:10:36.310
neutron stars the theory suggests that


00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:37.990
just before these Stellar corpses


00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:40.150
Collide and form a black hole they


00:10:40.160 --> 00:10:42.310
generate powerful magnetic outflows that


00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:44.269
accelerate particles to these extreme


00:10:44.279 --> 00:10:46.310
energies what makes this Theory


00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:47.790
particularly compelling is that it's


00:10:47.800 --> 00:10:50.150
testable through current technology as


00:10:50.160 --> 00:10:52.350
these mergers also produce detectable


00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:54.310
gravitational


00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:56.670
waves speaking of astronomical


00:10:56.680 --> 00:10:58.629

asteroids comets and exoplanets the syst


00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:31.389
system works by observing occultations


00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:32.790
brief moments when objects like


00:11:32.800 --> 00:11:34.430
asteroids or planets block the light


00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:37.150
from background Stars by measuring these


00:11:37.160 --> 00:11:39.150
