The fifteenth through nineteenth shots show the engineers steadying the lid as it lowers slowly into place. Shot twenty shows Schwartz securing the top of the lid. Shot twenty-one shows a pan of the sealed chamber. The final shot shows a data readout on a computer screen.\r\rCredit: NASA/Sophia Roberts", "width": 1024, "height": 540, "pixels": 552960 } }, { "id": 14490, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14490/", "page_type": "Produced Video", "title": "BurstCube Completes an Open-Sky Test", "description": "This video shows engineers conducting an open-sky test of the BurstCube satellite’s GPS at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.
