00:00:29 --> 00:00:30 an impressive new lunar vehicle that's
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32 pushing the boundaries of moon
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34 exploration followed by compelling new
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36 evidence of ancient oceans on Mars that
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38 could reshape our understanding of the
00:00:38 --> 00:00:41 red planet's history finally we'll clear
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43 up some recent speculation about life
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45 aboard the International Space Station
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46 and share the latest official updates
00:00:46 --> 00:00:49 from NASA it's a show that spans from
00:00:49 --> 00:00:52 Innovative space technology to potential
00:00:52 --> 00:00:55 signs of ancient water on Mars so let's
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57 Dive Right In in a groundbreaking
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59 development addressing the growing
00:00:59 --> 00:01:02 concern of space debris researchers from
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04 the University of Kyoto have
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06 successfully launched the world's first
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08 wooden satellite into orbit the
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10 Innovative lingo sat carried aboard a
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12 SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from NASA's
00:01:12 --> 00:01:15 Kennedy Space Center marks a significant
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17 step forward in sustainable space
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19 technology what makes this satellite
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21 truly unique is its construction
00:01:21 --> 00:01:24 material Magnolia wood apart from its
00:01:24 --> 00:01:25 essential electronic components the
00:01:26 --> 00:01:27 entire satellite structure is wooden
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29 representing a radical departure from
00:01:29 --> 00:01:32 traditional satellite design at just 10
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34 cm on each side and weighing a mere 900
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36 G it's one of the lightest satellites
00:01:36 --> 00:01:39 ever launched into space this Innovative
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41 approach tackles a pressing issue in
00:01:41 --> 00:01:44 space exploration currently there are
00:01:44 --> 00:01:47 over 40 500 objects larger than 10
00:01:47 --> 00:01:50 cm orbiting Earth with Millions more
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52 smaller pieces cluttering our orbital
00:01:52 --> 00:01:55 space when traditional satellites
00:01:55 --> 00:01:56 re-enter Earth's atmosphere they can
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58 release potentially harmful metal
00:01:58 --> 00:02:01 particles the lingo sat however is
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03 designed to completely burn up upon
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05 re-entry leaving no harmful debris
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07 behind the satellite will soon be
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09 transported to the International Space
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11 Station where it will be deployed from
00:02:11 --> 00:02:14 the kbo Japanese experiment module over
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16 the next 6 months researchers will
00:02:16 --> 00:02:18 closely monitor how the wooden structure
00:02:18 --> 00:02:20 holds up against the extreme conditions
00:02:20 --> 00:02:23 of space including dramatic temperature
00:02:23 --> 00:02:25 fluctuations and intense
00:02:25 --> 00:02:26 radiation this Mission could
00:02:26 --> 00:02:29 revolutionize satellite construction if
00:02:29 --> 00:02:30 success
00:02:30 --> 00:02:31 it could pave the way for more
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33 environmentally conscious space
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35 exploration helping to prevent what
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37 scientists call Kesler syndrome a
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39 theoretical scenario where the density
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41 of objects in low earth orbit becomes so
00:02:41 --> 00:02:44 high that collisions Cascade creating
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46 more debris and potentially rendering
00:02:46 --> 00:02:49 parts of Earth's orbit unusable a second
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51 wooden satellite lingo SAT 2 is already
00:02:51 --> 00:02:54 planned for launch in 2026 showing
00:02:54 --> 00:02:56 Japan's commitment to this Innovative
00:02:56 --> 00:02:57 approach to space
00:02:57 --> 00:03:00 sustainability next up Russ Russia has
00:03:00 --> 00:03:01 achieved a remarkable milestone in its
00:03:01 --> 00:03:04 Space Program launching an impressive
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06 array of 53 satellites in a single
00:03:06 --> 00:03:08 Mission from the vne Spaceport in
00:03:08 --> 00:03:11 Russia's Far East this launch represents
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13 a national record for Russia in terms of
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15 the number of domestic satellites
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17 deployed in a single Mission with 51 of
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18 the payloads being
00:03:18 --> 00:03:21 russian-made the mission utilized a
00:03:21 --> 00:03:24 soyuz-2.1a rocket equipped with a frag
00:03:24 --> 00:03:27 upper stage demonstrating Russia's
00:03:27 --> 00:03:29 continued capabilities in space launch
00:03:29 --> 00:03:32 techn ology among the diverse payload
00:03:32 --> 00:03:35 were two ionosph M satellites each
00:03:35 --> 00:03:38 weighing 430 kg designed to monitor
00:03:38 --> 00:03:41 Earth's ionosphere providing valuable
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43 data for atmospheric research and
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45 Communications what makes this launch
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47 particularly noteworthy is its
00:03:47 --> 00:03:50 International character despite current
00:03:50 --> 00:03:52 geopolitical challenges the mission
00:03:52 --> 00:03:53 included collaborative projects with
00:03:53 --> 00:03:56 multiple Nations a Russian Chinese
00:03:56 --> 00:03:58 satellite a Russian Zimbabwean satellite
00:03:58 --> 00:04:00 and two Iranian satellites were part of
00:04:00 --> 00:04:02 the payload highlighting ongoing
00:04:02 --> 00:04:05 International cooperation in space
00:04:05 --> 00:04:07 exploration the Iranian contributions
00:04:07 --> 00:04:09 included the cowsar highresolution
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11 Imaging satellite and the hodhod
00:04:11 --> 00:04:13 communication satellite while this
00:04:13 --> 00:04:15 launch marks a significant achievement
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17 for Russia it's worth noting that the
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19 global landscape of space launches has
00:04:19 --> 00:04:21 evolved considerably over the past
00:04:21 --> 00:04:24 decade Russia once the world's leading
00:04:24 --> 00:04:26 launch provider now ranks third in
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28 launch frequency behind the United
00:04:28 --> 00:04:31 States and China nevertheless Russia
00:04:31 --> 00:04:33 maintains its important role in space
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35 exploration continuing to support the
00:04:35 --> 00:04:37 International Space Station through
00:04:37 --> 00:04:39 regular progress resupply missions and
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40 soyu crew
00:04:40 --> 00:04:43 launches this successful Mission not
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45 only demonstrates Russia's technical
00:04:45 --> 00:04:47 capabilities but also shows how space
00:04:47 --> 00:04:49 exploration continues to bridge
00:04:49 --> 00:04:51 International divides fostering
00:04:51 --> 00:04:53 collaboration even during challenging
00:04:53 --> 00:04:56 times on Earth the variety of satellites
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58 deployed will serve multiple purposes
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00 from Earth OB obervation to
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02 Communications contributing to both
00:05:02 --> 00:05:04 scientific research and practical
00:05:04 --> 00:05:06 applications in space
00:05:06 --> 00:05:08 technology talking of technology I think
00:05:08 --> 00:05:11 I want one of these a fascinating
00:05:11 --> 00:05:12 development in lunar exploration has
00:05:12 --> 00:05:14 just been unveiled in Houston where
00:05:14 --> 00:05:16 intuitive machines has revealed their
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18 next Generation lunar terrain vehicle
00:05:18 --> 00:05:21 called Moon racer this reusable
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23 autonomous crude exploration Rover
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25 represents a significant Leap Forward
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27 from the Apollo era Moon buggies
00:05:27 --> 00:05:28 combining modern technology with
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30 practical design
00:05:30 --> 00:05:32 the fully electric vehicle built in
00:05:32 --> 00:05:34 collaboration with high- Performance
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36 automotive company Roush is an
00:05:36 --> 00:05:38 impressive piece of engineering
00:05:38 --> 00:05:41 measuring 14 ft long 8.5 ft tall and 12
00:05:42 --> 00:05:44 ft wide this Rover can reach speeds up
00:05:44 --> 00:05:47 to 9.3 m per hour matching its Apollo
00:05:48 --> 00:05:49 predecessor's
00:05:49 --> 00:05:51 capabilities but what sets it apart is
00:05:51 --> 00:05:54 its enhanced functionality including the
00:05:54 --> 00:05:58 ability to tow a 108 ft long trailer and
00:05:58 --> 00:06:00 navigate slopes up to 20
00:06:00 --> 00:06:02 20° one of the most Innovative features
00:06:02 --> 00:06:05 of moonracer is its dual mode operation
00:06:05 --> 00:06:08 while astronauts can drive it manually
00:06:08 --> 00:06:09 the vehicle is also capable of
00:06:09 --> 00:06:11 autonomous operation for robotic
00:06:11 --> 00:06:14 exploration when Crews aren't present
00:06:14 --> 00:06:16 the Rover can be controlled remotely
00:06:16 --> 00:06:18 from various locations including Houston
00:06:18 --> 00:06:21 Australia lunar habitats and even the
00:06:21 --> 00:06:23 Gateway space station orbiting the moon
00:06:24 --> 00:06:25 the vehicle's communication capabilities
00:06:25 --> 00:06:28 are equally impressive featuring antenna
00:06:28 --> 00:06:30 systems that can relay data via
00:06:30 --> 00:06:32 satellite or direct toe Transmissions
00:06:32 --> 00:06:34 ensuring constant connectivity during
00:06:34 --> 00:06:36 lunar operations for safety and
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39 efficiency moonracer is equipped with an
00:06:39 --> 00:06:41 advanced Hazard avoidance system
00:06:41 --> 00:06:42 allowing it to navigate challenging
00:06:43 --> 00:06:45 lunar terrain and clear obstacles up to
00:06:45 --> 00:06:48 a foot high this development is part of
00:06:48 --> 00:06:50 NASA's broader emis program with
00:06:50 --> 00:06:52 intuitive machines being one of three
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54 companies selected to develop lunar
00:06:54 --> 00:06:57 terrain vehicles under a $30 million
00:06:57 --> 00:07:00 contract the stakes are high as NASA
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02 plans to select one of these designs for
00:07:02 --> 00:07:04 deployment to the lunar South Pole
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06 before the Artemis 5 Mission scheduled
00:07:06 --> 00:07:07 for no earlier than
00:07:07 --> 00:07:10 2030 in a touching nod to space history
00:07:10 --> 00:07:12 the static mockup of moon racer has
00:07:13 --> 00:07:14 already received the approval of Apollo
00:07:14 --> 00:07:16 veterans Charlie Duke and Harrison
00:07:16 --> 00:07:18 Schmidt two of only six humans who have
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21 ever driven a Rover on the lunar surface
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23 Duke notably commented that this new
00:07:23 --> 00:07:25 vehicle was way more than we had
00:07:25 --> 00:07:27 highlighting just how far lunar vehicle
00:07:27 --> 00:07:29 technology has progressed since the
00:07:29 --> 00:07:30 Apollo AA
00:07:30 --> 00:07:32 era let's head off to Mars now for an
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34 update exciting new findings from Mars
00:07:34 --> 00:07:36 are adding weight to a long debated
00:07:36 --> 00:07:38 theory about the red planet's watery
00:07:38 --> 00:07:41 past China's Jang Rover exploring the
00:07:42 --> 00:07:44 Utopia region in Mars's northern
00:07:44 --> 00:07:46 hemisphere has uncovered compelling
00:07:46 --> 00:07:48 evidence that a vast ocean once covered
00:07:48 --> 00:07:50 up to a third of the planet's surface
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52 The Rovers investigation has revealed
00:07:52 --> 00:07:54 several Telltale features around its
00:07:54 --> 00:07:57 Landing site including pitted cones
00:07:57 --> 00:08:01 polygonal troughs and etched flows these
00:08:01 --> 00:08:03 geological formations are particularly
00:08:03 --> 00:08:05 significant because they typically form
00:08:05 --> 00:08:08 in areas where water or ice once existed
00:08:08 --> 00:08:11 perhaps most intriguingly the research
00:08:11 --> 00:08:13 team has identified what appears to be
00:08:13 --> 00:08:16 an ancient Shoreline near the study area
00:08:16 --> 00:08:17 using data from both the Rover and
00:08:17 --> 00:08:20 satellite observations scientists have
00:08:20 --> 00:08:22 pieced together a fascinating timeline
00:08:22 --> 00:08:24 they estimate this Martian ocean formed
00:08:24 --> 00:08:26 during a massive flooding event
00:08:26 --> 00:08:30 approximately 3.7 billion years ago
00:08:30 --> 00:08:31 the water body then experienced a
00:08:31 --> 00:08:34 freezing period which carved out
00:08:34 --> 00:08:36 distinctive Coastal features before
00:08:36 --> 00:08:38 eventually disappearing around 3.4
00:08:38 --> 00:08:41 billion years ago this discovery could
00:08:41 --> 00:08:43 have profound implications for our
00:08:44 --> 00:08:45 understanding of Mars's potential to
00:08:45 --> 00:08:49 have once harbored life on Earth life is
00:08:49 --> 00:08:51 believed to have emerged either in deep
00:08:51 --> 00:08:54 ocean environments near hydrothermal
00:08:54 --> 00:08:57 vents or in Shallow tidal pools where
00:08:57 --> 00:09:00 water meets air the confir of an ancient
00:09:00 --> 00:09:03 Martian ocean would suggest that similar
00:09:03 --> 00:09:05 conditions once existed on the red
00:09:05 --> 00:09:08 planet while the research team remains
00:09:08 --> 00:09:09 appropriately cautious about their
00:09:09 --> 00:09:12 findings noting that definitive proof
00:09:12 --> 00:09:14 would likely require bringing Martian
00:09:14 --> 00:09:16 Rock samples back to Earth for analysis
00:09:16 --> 00:09:18 these new observations add another piece
00:09:18 --> 00:09:21 to the puzzle of Mars's mysterious past
00:09:21 --> 00:09:23 they provide fresh evidence that the dry
00:09:23 --> 00:09:25 Dusty world we see today was once a much
00:09:25 --> 00:09:27 more Dynamic and potentially habitable
00:09:27 --> 00:09:29 planet
00:09:29 --> 00:09:31 fascinating new research has emerged
00:09:31 --> 00:09:33 about apus the asteroid nicknamed after
00:09:34 --> 00:09:36 the Egyptian god of chaos and what might
00:09:36 --> 00:09:38 happen during its extremely close
00:09:38 --> 00:09:39 encounter with Earth in
00:09:39 --> 00:09:41 2029 while we've known about this
00:09:41 --> 00:09:43 approaching Space Rock for some time
00:09:44 --> 00:09:45 scientists have now uncovered details
00:09:45 --> 00:09:47 about how Earth's gravity might
00:09:47 --> 00:09:49 dramatically reshape this Celestial
00:09:49 --> 00:09:53 visitor Aus which measures about 1 F
00:09:53 --> 00:09:55 feet in length and has a distinctive
00:09:55 --> 00:09:57 peanut shape will pass within just
00:09:57 --> 00:10:00 20 miles of Earth closer than some
00:10:00 --> 00:10:01 of our
00:10:01 --> 00:10:03 satellites while this rules out any risk
00:10:03 --> 00:10:05 of impact the close approach will
00:10:05 --> 00:10:07 subject the asteroid to intense
00:10:07 --> 00:10:09 gravitational forces that could trigger
00:10:09 --> 00:10:11 some remarkable changes computer
00:10:11 --> 00:10:13 simulations suggest that about an hour
00:10:13 --> 00:10:16 before its closest approach Aus will
00:10:16 --> 00:10:19 begin experiencing significant Tremors
00:10:19 --> 00:10:21 think of it as an asteroid Quake but in
00:10:21 --> 00:10:23 this case Earth's gravitational pull is
00:10:23 --> 00:10:26 the trigger these vibrations could be
00:10:26 --> 00:10:27 strong enough to actually launch
00:10:27 --> 00:10:30 Boulders Off the asteroid surf surface
00:10:30 --> 00:10:33 while some rocks might Escape completely
00:10:33 --> 00:10:35 most will likely Fall Back creating new
00:10:35 --> 00:10:38 patterns on the asteroid's surface but
00:10:38 --> 00:10:40 that's not all the encounter is expected
00:10:40 --> 00:10:43 to affect how apus tumbles through space
00:10:43 --> 00:10:45 unlike a perfect spinning top this
00:10:45 --> 00:10:48 asteroid currently rotates irregularly
00:10:48 --> 00:10:50 picture a poorly thrown football Earth's
00:10:50 --> 00:10:52 gravitational influence will either
00:10:52 --> 00:10:53 speed up or slow down this tumbling
00:10:53 --> 00:10:55 motion depending on the asteroid's
00:10:55 --> 00:10:58 orientation during the flyby this change
00:10:58 --> 00:11:00 in rotation could destabilize surface
00:11:00 --> 00:11:02 rocks and potentially trigger landslides
00:11:02 --> 00:11:04 that would continue to reshape the
00:11:04 --> 00:11:05 asteroid for thousands of years
00:11:05 --> 00:11:08 afterward NASA's Osiris Apex Mission
00:11:08 --> 00:11:10 will be there to witness these changes
00:11:10 --> 00:11:12 firsthand having been repurposed from
00:11:12 --> 00:11:14 its successful benu sample return
00:11:14 --> 00:11:16 Mission the spacecraft will spend 18
00:11:16 --> 00:11:18 months studying apus giving us an
00:11:19 --> 00:11:20 unprecedented opportunity to watch how a
00:11:21 --> 00:11:22 close planetary encounter can transform
00:11:22 --> 00:11:24 an asteroid in real
00:11:25 --> 00:11:27 time finally let's clear this up once
00:11:27 --> 00:11:30 and for all in news from space today
00:11:30 --> 00:11:32 NASA has stepped forward to address some
00:11:32 --> 00:11:34 concerning tabloid reports about
00:11:34 --> 00:11:36 astronaut Sunni Williams's Health aboard
00:11:36 --> 00:11:39 the International Space Station several
00:11:39 --> 00:11:41 media Outlets including the Daily Mail
00:11:41 --> 00:11:43 and the New York Post had published
00:11:43 --> 00:11:45 speculative stories about Williams's
00:11:45 --> 00:11:47 condition basing their concerns on a
00:11:47 --> 00:11:49 September photo where they claimed she
00:11:49 --> 00:11:52 appeared gaunt NASA has firmly refuted
00:11:52 --> 00:11:55 these claims stating unequivocally that
00:11:55 --> 00:11:57 Williams Who currently commands
00:11:57 --> 00:12:01 Expedition 72 is in perfect health the
00:12:01 --> 00:12:03 space agency emphasized that they are
00:12:03 --> 00:12:04 not tracking any health concerns with
00:12:05 --> 00:12:07 Williams or any other NASA astronauts
00:12:07 --> 00:12:09 currently aboard the station this
00:12:09 --> 00:12:11 situation highlights the robust medical
00:12:11 --> 00:12:13 monitoring system in place for
00:12:13 --> 00:12:15 astronauts on the
00:12:15 --> 00:12:17 ISS each crew member undergos regular
00:12:17 --> 00:12:20 medical evaluations and has dedicated
00:12:20 --> 00:12:21 flight surgeons watching over their
00:12:21 --> 00:12:24 health throughout their mission Williams
00:12:24 --> 00:12:26 and her fellow astronaut Butch Wilmore
00:12:26 --> 00:12:28 have been aboard the station since June
00:12:28 --> 00:12:30 arriving on going Starliner
00:12:30 --> 00:12:32 spacecraft while their stay has been
00:12:32 --> 00:12:34 extended longer than initially planned
00:12:34 --> 00:12:36 due to technical issues with Starliner
00:12:36 --> 00:12:39 Thruster system NASA has confirmed they
00:12:39 --> 00:12:42 have plenty of supplies including food
00:12:42 --> 00:12:45 to support the extended Mission Williams
00:12:45 --> 00:12:47 and Wilmore are now scheduled to return
00:12:47 --> 00:12:50 to Earth in February 2025 traveling back
00:12:50 --> 00:12:53 with the SpaceX crew9 Mission this
00:12:53 --> 00:12:55 episode serves as an important reminder
00:12:55 --> 00:12:57 about the necessity of relying on
00:12:57 --> 00:13:00 official sources for space related news
00:13:00 --> 00:13:02 rather than speculative reporting that
00:13:02 --> 00:13:04 can cause unnecessary concern about our
00:13:04 --> 00:13:06 astronauts
00:13:06 --> 00:13:08 well-being and that wraps up today's
00:13:08 --> 00:13:11 episode of astronomy daily from wooden
00:13:11 --> 00:13:13 satellites to Martian oceans it's been
