(Elsayed Talaat) It is our first hosted science payload that NASA is flying on a commercial spacecraft.

4
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:45.380
and so that is a new innovated way for us to do science that maximizes our private sector partnership as well.

00:02:47.100 --> 00:02:50.480
(Sarah Jones) GOLD is measuring the upper atmosphere which is the region that our

6
00:02:50.480 --> 00:02:56.160
communications signals pass through as they go from our satellites down to our technology here Earth.

7
00:02:56.160 --> 00:03:00.900
And so it's very important for us to understand whats going on in this region so we can understand

8
00:03:00.900 --> 00:03:05.940
how it's affecting those technologies that we need for our day to day lives.

9
00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:12.040
I am excited about this mission because GOLD will be getting information about the upper atmosphere

10
00:03:12.040 --> 00:03:16.780
much faster than ever before. And we will be able to look at affects that are more like the weather that we

11
00:03:16.780 --> 00:03:19.120
experience down here on Earth.
