Kalaroga Shark Media. Good evening. This is sleep from space

00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:17.320
Right now, NASA's Deep Space Network is tracking Orion closing
3
00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:19.640
in on the Moon three hundred and twenty seven thousand
4
00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:23.399
kilometers from Earth. A signal from Orion takes one point
5
00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:26.920
one seconds to reach Earth after a day in Earth
6
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:30.359
orbit checking out systems on the Orion capsule. The Artemis
7
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:33.719
two crew is headed to the Moon. As Artemis two
8
00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:37.560
approaches the Moon, a NASA science team is finalizing plans
9
00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:41.159
for the observations they want the astronauts to perform during
10
00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:45.200
their flyby. At an April fourth briefing, a representative of
11
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:47.759
the mission's science team said they were working to complete
12
00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:50.799
a plan of observations by the astronauts. On April sixth.
13
00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:56.679
SpaceX has a Falcon nine on the pad at Vandenberg
14
00:00:56.759 --> 00:01:00.719
Space Fource Base, California, set to fly tomorrow. The mission
15
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:04.480
is called Starlink Internet Satellites. The booster will attempt to
16
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:10.040
land back at Vandenberg as Artemis iiO approaches the Moon.
17
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:14.000
A NASA science team is finalizing plans for the observations
18
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:16.959
they want the astronauts to perform during their fly by.
19
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:20.920
At an April fourth briefing, a representative of the mission's
20
00:01:20.959 --> 00:01:23.680
science team said they were working to complete a plan
21
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:29.400
of observations by the astronauts on April sixth. Here's something
22
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:33.319
to think about. The Voyager one spacecraft, launched in nineteen
23
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:37.200
seventy seven, is now over fifteen billion miles from Earth
24
00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:43.319
and still sending data back. AI helped gather tonight's update
25
00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:47.359
from NASA and Spaceflight News sources. Rest easy knowing the
26
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:49.040
universe keep spinning. Good Night.
