1
00:00:00,020 --> 00:00:06,060


2
00:00:06,060 --> 00:00:12,130
At NASA Goddard, we build space telescopes

3
00:00:12,130 --> 00:00:17,200
to explore the evolution of galaxies, stars and planets 

4
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,290
that make up our universe.

5
00:00:19,290 --> 00:00:22,310
We develop autonomous spacecraft navigation 

6
00:00:22,310 --> 00:00:25,380
using millisecond pulsars as celestial beacons

7
00:00:25,380 --> 00:00:27,410
to further deep space exploration 

8
00:00:27,410 --> 00:00:30,440
into the solar system and beyond.

9
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,470
We discover planets around other stars 

10
00:00:33,470 --> 00:00:36,530
and investigate whether they could support life 

11
00:00:36,530 --> 00:00:38,560
and what that life might look like.

12
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,590
At NASA Goddard, we investigate 

13
00:00:40,590 --> 00:00:44,630
the possibility of past or present life on Mars.

14
00:00:44,630 --> 00:00:48,690
We imagine, then engineer, far-out missions

15
00:00:48,690 --> 00:00:52,760
to answer questions about how galaxies and planets formed 

16
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:54,800
and evolved over time. 

17
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,170
We build instruments that visit every planet in the solar system

18
00:00:58,170 --> 00:01:03,350
and recreate planetary environments here on Earth.

19
00:01:03,350 --> 00:01:07,420
At NASA Goddard, we study the sun’s dynamic behavior 

20
00:01:07,420 --> 00:01:11,510
and the space weather that it generates so we can protect astronauts

21
00:01:11,510 --> 00:01:15,580
and satellites in space as well as our technology on the ground.

22
00:01:15,580 --> 00:01:18,580
We use the Earth’s magnetic field as a laboratory

23
00:01:18,580 --> 00:01:22,610
to understand the processes that drive giant explosions

24
00:01:22,610 --> 00:01:24,680
across the whole universe.

25
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,720
At NASA Goddard, we use the data

26
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,790
from a constellation of satellites 

27
00:01:28,790 --> 00:01:31,020
to generate global maps

28
00:01:31,020 --> 00:01:34,080
of rain and snow pummeling the Earth

29
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,110
to monitor how greenhouse gases move through the atmosphere

30
00:01:37,110 --> 00:01:40,290
and to model all of Earth’s systems to create 

31
00:01:40,290 --> 00:01:43,490
a dynamic portrait of our planet.

32
00:01:43,490 --> 00:01:46,510
We survey Earth’s forests, ice sheets and oceans

33
00:01:46,510 --> 00:01:49,540
from air, ground, sea and space

34
00:01:49,540 --> 00:01:52,720
and collect data to examine changes 

35
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,760
in the environment to inform

36
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,860
and improve the lives of every human being.

37
00:01:59,860 --> 00:02:02,920
We develop high-powered lasers to map 

38
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,050
our own planet and other bodies 

39
00:02:05,050 --> 00:02:07,090
deep into the solar system.

40
00:02:07,090 --> 00:02:10,220
At NASA Goddard, we launch balloons with 

41
00:02:10,220 --> 00:02:14,290
an 8,000-pound suspended mass soaring into the atmosphere

42
00:02:14,290 --> 00:02:18,310
for weeks at a time to study black holes and gamma-ray bursts.

43
00:02:18,310 --> 00:02:22,360
We launch small rockets carrying university-developed

44
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,480
experiments into space

45
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,660
and provide low-cost space platforms 

46
00:02:28,660 --> 00:02:31,740
for testing new instrument concepts 

47
00:02:31,740 --> 00:02:33,940
and engineering techniques.

48
00:02:33,940 --> 00:02:37,130
At NASA Goddard, we develop and maintain communication links

49
00:02:37,130 --> 00:02:40,240
between Earth and spacecrafts in orbit.

50
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,260
We evaluate and improve system software 

51
00:02:43,260 --> 00:02:45,420
to reduce risk in our missions, large and small.

52
00:02:45,420 --> 00:02:48,480
We take the search out of search and rescue 

53
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,570
by developing technologies for global distress systems. 

54
00:02:51,570 --> 00:02:54,650


55
00:02:54,650 --> 00:02:59,820
At NASA Goddard, we ensure every craft is space-ready

56
00:02:59,820 --> 00:03:04,890
We blast noise and shake instruments to simulate the stresses of launch

57
00:03:04,890 --> 00:03:07,960
we expose them to the unforgiving vacuum of space

58
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,140
and to the powerful magnetic fields.

59
00:03:11,140 --> 00:03:14,320
At NASA Goddard, we innovate robotic technologies 

60
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,400
to extend satellite lifespans.

61
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,580
We mentor thousands of students each year 

62
00:03:20,580 --> 00:03:23,660
who will become the next scientist and engineers. 

63
00:03:23,660 --> 00:03:26,720
Innovation and science never sleep

64
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,900
and new discoveries never get old

65
00:03:29,900 --> 00:03:33,900
at NASA Goddard.

66
00:03:33,900 --> 00:03:35,082
