00:00:00.030 --> 00:00:07.010
The next crew headed to the space station … Black holes on a collision course … And an anniversary on Mars …

2
00:00:07.010 --> 00:00:10.640
a few of the stories to tell you about – This Week at NASA!

3
00:00:11.310 --> 00:00:17.350
On Feb. 21, the members of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-6 mission arrived at our Kennedy

4
00:00:17.350 --> 00:00:21.220
Space Center ahead of their flight to the International Space Station.

5
00:00:21.220 --> 00:00:29.760
The crew, including NASA astronauts Stephen Bowen and Woody Hoburg, are targeted for launch no earlier than Feb. 27

6
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:32.660
from Kennedy’s Launch Complex 39A.

7
00:00:33.330 --> 00:00:42.610
Astronomers have used our Chandra X-ray Observatory to track two pairs of supermassive black holes in dwarf galaxies on collision courses.

8
00:00:42.610 --> 00:00:49.380
This is the first evidence for such an impending encounter, and it is providing important information about the growth

9
00:00:49.380 --> 00:00:52.090
of black holes in the early Universe.

10
00:00:52.720 --> 00:00:57.860
NASA’s Perseverance rover recently celebrated its second anniversary on Mars.

11
00:00:57.860 --> 00:01:08.100
Since landing in February 2021, the rover has traveled over 9 miles, collected 18 samples, and taken hundreds of thousands of images –

12
00:01:08.100 --> 00:01:13.340
all as part of the mission’s search for signs of ancient microbial life on Mars.

13
00:01:13.870 --> 00:01:22.150
As part of our effort to provide more resources and information to new audiences, we have launched new Spanish-language webpages

14
00:01:22.150 --> 00:01:25.550
featuring NASA aeronautics content and information.

15
00:01:25.550 --> 00:01:31.220
You can also find STEM-related educational content on these webpages for students.

16
00:01:31.220 --> 00:01:34.890
Find out more at nasa.gov/aeroes.

17
00:01:34.890 --> 00:01:38.630
That’s nasa.gov/a-e-r-o-e-s.

18
00:01:39.230 --> 00:01:46.540
That’s what’s up this week @NASA … For more on these and other stories, follow us on the web at nasa.gov/twan.
