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!
