During the several weeks 0rion is in orbit, nasa will collect important data and check how the spacecraft is performing. this is a test flight, so there are no people on board. instead, there are mannequins covered in thousands of sensors collecting important data. most of those sensors are getting an idea of whether its environment is going to be ok for people. so things like radiation sensors, motion sensors, accelerometers, things like that, things that we as human payloads are going to care a lot about. and this is vital because if this mission is a success, astronauts will join the next r...

Phil keating, who is on the ground there at kennedy space center, and phil looks so far everything looks like it went smoothly. a lot of applause and shearing here at the kennedy space center as the big space launch system that is the most powerful rocket that exists on this planet lifted up the orion capsule, and it's now flying off towards an orbit around the earth and eventually all the way out to the moon. it's a 42 day long mission. this is all about testing everything getting data. testing the capsule the capsule's heat shield when it comes back to earth for the splashdown is going to be...

Tell that to the chinese, who are now launching rockets from on board a ship. this giant vessel heads out to the yellow sea, a few kilometres off the coast, providing both innovation and flexibility. translation: there are different launch sites - to choose from for a seaborne launch, making it easier to find a safe area for rocket debris. therefore, it's more convenient than launching from land. it also helps that the launch site is not a fixed point. taking off from different latitudes means you can choose different orbits, which saves costs on fuel. the sea has long been an important part o...

From for a seaborne launch, making it easier to find a safe area for rocket debris. therefore, it's more convenient than launching from land. it also helps that the launch site is not a fixed point. taking off from different latitudes means you can choose different orbits, which saves costs on fuel. the sea has long been an important part of the space exploration journey, with splashdown often the final chapter of each mission. but now, china has turned that on its head — from the high seas to outer space. tim allman, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather. hello. contrast between...
