00:00:00.100 --> 00:00:05.150


2
00:00:05.150 --> 00:00:10.200
At NASA Goddard, we build space telescopes

3
00:00:10.200 --> 00:00:15.300
to explore the evolution of galaxies, stars and planets

4
00:00:15.300 --> 00:00:17.370
that make up our universe.

5
00:00:17.370 --> 00:00:19.400
We discover planets around other stars

6
00:00:19.400 --> 00:00:22.520
and investigate whether they could support life

7
00:00:22.520 --> 00:00:24.580
and what that life might look like.

8
00:00:24.580 --> 00:00:28.770
We imagine, then engineer, far-out missions

9
00:00:28.770 --> 00:00:32.940
to answer questions about how galaxies and planets formed

10
00:00:32.940 --> 00:00:35.010
and evolved over time.

11
00:00:35.010 --> 00:00:38.080
At NASA Goddard, we study the sun’s dynamic behavior

12
00:00:38.080 --> 00:00:41.270
and the space weather that it generates

13
00:00:41.270 --> 00:00:44.360
so we can protect astronauts and satellites in space

14
00:00:44.360 --> 00:00:46.400
as well as our technology on the ground.

15
00:00:46.400 --> 00:00:49.420
At NASA Goddard, we use the data from

16
00:00:49.420 --> 00:00:52.470
a constellation of satellites to generate

17
00:00:52.470 --> 00:00:55.540
global maps of rain and snow

18
00:00:55.540 --> 00:00:56.690
pummeling the Earth

19
00:00:56.690 --> 00:00:59.730
to monitor how greenhouse gases move through the atmosphere

20
00:00:59.730 --> 00:01:02.880
and to model all of Earth’s systems

21
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:05.920
to create a dynamic portrait of our planet.

22
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:09.040
We launch small rockets

23
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:12.230
carrying university-developed experiments into space

24
00:01:12.230 --> 00:01:15.340
and provide low-cost space platforms

25
00:01:15.340 --> 00:01:18.530
for testing new instrument concepts

26
00:01:18.530 --> 00:01:21.550
and engineering techniques.

27
00:01:21.550 --> 00:01:23.830


28
00:01:23.830 --> 00:01:29.060
At NASA Goddard, we ensure every craft is space-ready

29
00:01:29.060 --> 00:01:31.140
We blast noise and shake instruments

30
00:01:31.140 --> 00:01:34.250
to simulate the stresses at launch

31
00:01:34.250 --> 00:01:37.380
we expose them to the unforgiving vacuum of space

32
00:01:37.380 --> 00:01:40.440
and to the powerful magnetic fields.

33
00:01:40.440 --> 00:01:43.620
At NASA Goddard, we develop and maintain communication links

34
00:01:43.620 --> 00:01:46.690
between Earth and spacecrafts in orbit.

35
00:01:46.690 --> 00:01:49.770
We evaluate and improve system software

36
00:01:49.770 --> 00:01:52.800
to reduce risk in our missions, large and small.

37
00:01:52.800 --> 00:01:54.990
Innovation and science never sleep

38
00:01:54.990 --> 00:01:58.120
and new discoveries never get old

39
00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:01.170
at NASA Goddard.
