00:00:00.020 --> 00:00:07.080


2
00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:12.250
At NASA Goddard, we build space telescopes

3
00:00:12.250 --> 00:00:17.330
to explore the evolution of galaxies, stars and planets

4
00:00:17.330 --> 00:00:19.550
that make up our universe.

5
00:00:19.550 --> 00:00:22.770
We discover planets around other stars

6
00:00:22.770 --> 00:00:24.860
and investigate whether they could support life

7
00:00:24.860 --> 00:00:26.960
and what that life might look like.

8
00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:27.080
We imagine, then engineer,

9
00:00:27.080 --> 00:00:31.150
We imagine, then engineer, far-out missions

10
00:00:31.150 --> 00:00:35.350
to answer questions about how galaxies and planets formed

11
00:00:35.350 --> 00:00:37.470
and evolved over time.

12
00:00:37.470 --> 00:00:40.500
At NASA Goddard, we study the sun’s dynamic behavior

13
00:00:40.500 --> 00:00:43.700
and the space weather that it generates

14
00:00:43.700 --> 00:00:46.750
so we can protect astronauts and satellites in space

15
00:00:46.750 --> 00:00:48.770
as well as our technology on the ground.

16
00:00:48.770 --> 00:00:51.860
At NASA Goddard, we use the data from

17
00:00:51.860 --> 00:00:54.920
a constellation of satellites to generate global

18
00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:57.980
maps of rain and snow pummeling the Earth

19
00:00:57.980 --> 00:01:02.080
to monitor how greenhouse gases move through the atmosphere

20
00:01:02.080 --> 00:01:05.240
and to model all of Earth’s systems

21
00:01:05.240 --> 00:01:08.330
to create a dynamic portrait of our planet.

22
00:01:08.330 --> 00:01:11.430
We launch small rockets

23
00:01:11.430 --> 00:01:15.530
carrying university-developed experiments into space

24
00:01:15.530 --> 00:01:19.650
and provide low-cost space platforms

25
00:01:19.650 --> 00:01:23.730
for testing new instrument concepts and engineering techniques.

26
00:01:23.730 --> 00:01:30.870
At NASA Goddard, we ensure every craft is space-ready

27
00:01:30.870 --> 00:01:36.930
We blast noise and shake instruments to simulate the stresses at launch

28
00:01:36.930 --> 00:01:39.120
we expose them to the unforgiving vacuum of space

29
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:42.200
and to the powerful magnetic fields.

30
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:46.280
At NASA Goddard, we develop and maintain communication links

31
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:49.370
between Earth and spacecrafts in orbit.

32
00:01:49.370 --> 00:01:52.510
We evaluate and improve system software

33
00:01:52.510 --> 00:01:54.530
to reduce risk in our missions, large and small.

34
00:01:54.530 --> 00:01:57.600
Innovation and science never sleep

35
00:01:57.600 --> 00:02:00.770
and new discoveries never get old

36
00:02:00.770 --> 00:02:04.800
at NASA Goddard.

37
00:02:04.800 --> 00:02:05.258
