00:00:10.660 --> 00:00:15.280
(Jim Garvin) It all comes down to this. after years of development by our engineers here at

3
00:00:15.299 --> 00:00:19.740
Goddard, we have to get there. And access to space is everything. And while we

4
00:00:19.740 --> 00:00:23.820
don't launch things here from our
Greenbelt facility at Goddard, we do

5
00:00:23.820 --> 00:00:26.849
launch from our Wallops Flight Facility
about a hundred miles away on the coast

6
00:00:26.849 --> 00:00:31.650
of Virginia. And at Wallops, we launch
small rockets, scout rockets,

7
00:00:31.650 --> 00:00:37.200
minotaurs and others that transform the
ideas, the development and the dreams

8
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:42.840
into the reality in space. And after our
rockets get us there, our operations

9
00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:47.700
engineers here at Goddard take over. They check out the vital signs, the pulse of

10
00:00:47.700 --> 00:00:51.719
our spacecraft, so that we can get the
data back to do the science we set out

11
00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:54.050
to do.
