00:00:00.020 --> 00:00:06.060


2
00:00:06.060 --> 00:00:12.130
At NASA Goddard, we build space telescopes

3
00:00:12.130 --> 00:00:17.200
to explore the evolution of galaxies, stars and planets

4
00:00:17.200 --> 00:00:19.290
that make up our universe.

5
00:00:19.290 --> 00:00:22.310
We develop autonomous spacecraft navigation

6
00:00:22.310 --> 00:00:25.380
using millisecond pulsars as celestial beacons

7
00:00:25.380 --> 00:00:27.410
to further deep space exploration

8
00:00:27.410 --> 00:00:30.440
into the solar system and beyond.

9
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:33.470
We discover planets around other stars

10
00:00:33.470 --> 00:00:36.530
and investigate whether they could support life

11
00:00:36.530 --> 00:00:38.560
and what that life might look like.

12
00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:40.590
At NASA Goddard, we investigate

13
00:00:40.590 --> 00:00:44.630
the possibility of past or present life on Mars.

14
00:00:44.630 --> 00:00:48.690
We imagine, then engineer, far-out missions

15
00:00:48.690 --> 00:00:52.760
to answer questions about how galaxies and planets formed

16
00:00:52.760 --> 00:00:54.800
and evolved over time.

17
00:00:54.800 --> 00:00:58.170
We build instruments that visit every planet in the solar system

18
00:00:58.170 --> 00:01:03.350
and recreate planetary environments here on Earth.

19
00:01:03.350 --> 00:01:07.420
At NASA Goddard, we study the sun’s dynamic behavior

20
00:01:07.420 --> 00:01:11.510
and the space weather that it generates so we can protect astronauts

21
00:01:11.510 --> 00:01:15.580
and satellites in space as well as our technology on the ground.

22
00:01:15.580 --> 00:01:18.580
We use the Earth’s magnetic field as a laboratory

23
00:01:18.580 --> 00:01:22.610
to understand the processes that drive giant explosions

24
00:01:22.610 --> 00:01:24.680
across the whole universe.

25
00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:26.720
At NASA Goddard, we use the data

26
00:01:26.720 --> 00:01:28.790
from a constellation of satellites

27
00:01:28.790 --> 00:01:31.020
to generate global maps

28
00:01:31.020 --> 00:01:34.080
of rain and snow pummeling the Earth

29
00:01:34.080 --> 00:01:37.110
to monitor how greenhouse gases move through the atmosphere

30
00:01:37.110 --> 00:01:40.290
and to model all of Earth’s systems to create

31
00:01:40.290 --> 00:01:43.490
a dynamic portrait of our planet.

32
00:01:43.490 --> 00:01:46.510
We survey Earth’s forests, ice sheets and oceans

33
00:01:46.510 --> 00:01:49.540
from air, ground, sea and space

34
00:01:49.540 --> 00:01:52.720
and collect data to examine changes

35
00:01:52.720 --> 00:01:55.760
in the environment to inform

36
00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:59.860
and improve the lives of every human being.

37
00:01:59.860 --> 00:02:02.920
We develop high-powered lasers to map

38
00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:05.050
our own planet and other bodies

39
00:02:05.050 --> 00:02:07.090
deep into the solar system.

40
00:02:07.090 --> 00:02:10.220
At NASA Goddard, we launch balloons with

41
00:02:10.220 --> 00:02:14.290
an 8,000-pound suspended mass soaring into the atmosphere

42
00:02:14.290 --> 00:02:18.310
for weeks at a time to study black holes and gamma-ray bursts.

43
00:02:18.310 --> 00:02:22.360
We launch small rockets carrying university-developed

44
00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:24.480
experiments into space

45
00:02:24.480 --> 00:02:28.660
and provide low-cost space platforms

46
00:02:28.660 --> 00:02:31.740
for testing new instrument concepts

47
00:02:31.740 --> 00:02:33.940
and engineering techniques.

48
00:02:33.940 --> 00:02:37.130
At NASA Goddard, we develop and maintain communication links

49
00:02:37.130 --> 00:02:40.240
between Earth and spacecrafts in orbit.

50
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:43.260
We evaluate and improve system software

51
00:02:43.260 --> 00:02:45.420
to reduce risk in our missions, large and small.

52
00:02:45.420 --> 00:02:48.480
We take the search out of search and rescue

53
00:02:48.480 --> 00:02:51.570
by developing technologies for global distress systems.

54
00:02:51.570 --> 00:02:54.650


55
00:02:54.650 --> 00:02:59.820
At NASA Goddard, we ensure every craft is space-ready

56
00:02:59.820 --> 00:03:04.890
We blast noise and shake instruments to simulate the stresses of launch

57
00:03:04.890 --> 00:03:07.960
we expose them to the unforgiving vacuum of space

58
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:11.140
and to the powerful magnetic fields.

59
00:03:11.140 --> 00:03:14.320
At NASA Goddard, we innovate robotic technologies

60
00:03:14.320 --> 00:03:17.400
to extend satellite lifespans.

61
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:20.580
We mentor thousands of students each year

62
00:03:20.580 --> 00:03:23.660
who will become the next scientist and engineers.

63
00:03:23.660 --> 00:03:26.720
Innovation and science never sleep

64
00:03:26.720 --> 00:03:29.900
and new discoveries never get old

65
00:03:29.900 --> 00:03:33.900
at NASA Goddard.

66
00:03:33.900 --> 00:03:35.082
