WELCOME TO SPACE TO GROUND.

2
00:00:06.280 --> 00:00:07.640
I AM KAYLA LaFRANCE.

3
00:00:07.640 --> 00:00:14.060
ITS BEEN A MARATHON OF SPACEWALKS THIS MONTH AS THE CREW ABOARD THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION CONTINUES TO

4
00:00:14.060 --> 00:00:17.870
IMPROVE AND UPDATE THE ORBITING LABORATORY.

5
00:00:17.870 --> 00:00:25.650
LAST FRIDAY, NASA ASTRONAUTS AND EXPEDITION 69 CREW MEMBERS STEVE BOWEN AND WOODY HOBURG CONCLUDED THEIR FIRST OF TWO

6
00:00:25.650 --> 00:00:30.300
SPACEWALKS AFTER 6 HOURS AND 3 MINUTES OUTSIDE THE SPACE STATION.

7
00:00:30.300 --> 00:00:35.550
BOWEN AND HOBURG COMPLETED ALL OF THE OBJECTIVES FOR THE FIRST SPACEWALK TO INSTALL AN IROSA

8
00:00:35.550 --> 00:00:42.010
TO AUGMENT POWER GENERATION FOR THE 1A POWER CHANNEL ON THE STATION’S STARBOARD TRUSS STRUCTURE.

9
00:00:42.010 --> 00:00:48.370
THE DYNAMIC DUO VENTURED BACK OUTSIDE ON THURSDAY THIS WEEK TO INSTALL THE SIXTH IN THE SERIES OF IROSAS

10
00:00:48.370 --> 00:00:53.190
ON THE STARBOARD 6 TRUSS OF THE STATION FOR THE 1B POWER CHANNEL.

11
00:00:53.190 --> 00:01:00.220
THIS WEEK’S SPACEWALK WAS THE 265TH SPACEWALK IN SUPPORT OF SPACE STATION ASSEMBLY, UPGRADES, AND MAINTENANCE.

12
00:01:00.220 --> 00:01:04.690
IT WAS THE TENTH SPACEWALK FOR BOWEN, AND THE SECOND FOR HOBURG.

13
00:01:04.690 --> 00:01:12.730
AND JOIN US NEXT WEEK WHEN ROSCOSMOS COSMONAUTS DON THEIR ORLAN SPACE SUITES AND VENTURE OUTSIDE TO REMOVE EXPERIMENT HARDWARE AND INSTALL

14
00:01:12.730 --> 00:01:14.910
NEW DATA TRANSMISSION HARDWARE.

15
00:01:14.910 --> 00:01:16.500
THIS SPACEWALK WILL TAKE PLACE

16
00:01:16.500 --> 00:01:24.360
ON THURSDAY, JUNE 22ND AT APPROX. 10:20 A.M. EASTERN AND IS SCHEDULED TO LAST ABOUT SEVEN HOURS.

17
00:01:24.360 --> 00:01:25.820
THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION

18
00:01:25.820 --> 00:01:28.360
IS A GLOBAL OBSERVATION AND DIAGNOSIS STATION.

19
00:01:28.360 --> 00:01:31.140
IT PROMOTES INTERNATIONAL EARTH OBSERVATIONS

20
00:01:31.140 --> 00:01:33.350
AIMED AT UNDERSTANDING AND RESOLVING

21
00:01:33.350 --> 00:01:36.970
THE ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES OF OUR HOME PLANET.

22
00:01:36.970 --> 00:01:39.760
THE SPACE STATION OFFERS A UNIQUE VANTAGE POINT

23
00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:42.190
FOR OBSERVING THE EARTH'S ECOSYSTEMS

24
00:01:42.190 --> 00:01:45.230
WITH HANDS-ON AND AUTOMATED EQUIPMENT.

25
00:01:45.230 --> 00:01:51.140
THESE OPTIONS ENABLE ASTRONAUTS TO OBSERVE AND EXPLAIN WHAT THEY WITNESS IN REAL TIME.

26
00:01:51.140 --> 00:01:57.720
IN RECENT WEEKS, THE CREW OF THE SPACE STATION HAVE BEEN PHOTOGRAPHING THE WILDFIRES CURRENTLY BURNING ACROSS CANADA.

27
00:01:57.720 --> 00:02:03.180
THESE PHOTOS OF THE FIRE NEAR SHELBURNE NOVA SCOTIA, WERE TAKEN ON MAY 29.

28
00:02:03.180 --> 00:02:11.280
WITHIN A FEW DAYS, THE FIRE HAD SCORCHED OVER 75 SQUARE MILES, MAKING IT THE LARGEST FOREST FIRE IN NOVA SCOTIA'S HISTORY.

29
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:19.150
THE SMOKE FROM THESE WILDFIRE CAUSED HISTORICALLY POOR AIR QUALITY IN THE NORTHEASTERN REGION OF THE UNITED STATES.

30
00:02:19.150 --> 00:02:25.930
YOU CAN ALSO BROWSE AND DOWNLOAD IMAGERY OF SATELLITE DATA FROM NASA’S CONSTELLATION OF EARTH OBSERVING SATELLITES.

31
00:02:25.930 --> 00:02:32.400
HEAD OVER TO EARTHOBSERVATORY.NASA.GOV AND EXPLORE OUR WORLD FROM ABOVE.

32
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:34.180
THAT’S SPACE TO GROUND FOR THIS WEEK.

33
00:02:34.180 --> 00:02:35.180
THANKS FOR WATCHING.

34
00:02:35.180 --> 00:02:37.030
WE’LL SEE YOU NEXT WEEK.
