Landsat 6 *or Why Space is Hard

00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:07,810
Fire engine.

3
00:00:07,810 --> 00:00:11,920
Lift off!

4
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:13,980
We have lift off.

5
00:00:13,980 --> 00:00:17,590
Landsat 6 launched on October 5, 1993

00:00:17,590 --> 00:00:23,970


7
00:00:23,970 --> 00:00:25,930
but never made it to orbit.

8
00:00:25,930 --> 00:00:26,710


9
00:00:26,710 --> 00:00:29,870
NASA’s team of scientists and engineers got to work immediately

10
00:00:29,870 --> 00:00:31,820
to figure out what went wrong. 

11
00:00:31,820 --> 00:00:35,590
Turns out, it was a rupture in the rocket fuel chamber. 

12
00:00:35,590 --> 00:00:39,230
They used failure as an opportunity to learn.

13
00:00:39,230 --> 00:00:42,080
Six years later, the team launched Landsat 7, 

14
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,740


15
00:00:44,740 --> 00:00:50,020
one of the most technologically advanced earth observing satellites of its generation, 

16
00:00:50,020 --> 00:00:51,680
still in use today!
