[MAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY] [SCARLIN HERNANDEZ]
This is my first deployment. I feel nervous. Especially with this mission.
It can't be serviced, right? {\an8}So any problems that arise,
any challenges, {\an8}we have to take them head-on. There are hundreds of us working, uh, in the Mission Operations Center
around the clock, especially the flight operations team. We're able to communicate
with the telescope via this Mission Operations Center. We send commands to the telescope,
or blocks of code, to tell it what to do,
what activity to perform. We can't actually see
the telescope in space, it's too far, so we have a tool
that's an animated model of the telescope, where we can see the telescope unfolding

[MAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

00:00:03.461 --> 00:00:05.379

[SCARLIN HERNANDEZ] This is my first deployment.

00:00:05.463 --> 00:00:06.547

I feel nervous.

00:00:07.548 --> 00:00:11.052

Especially with this mission. It can't be serviced, right?

00:00:11.135 --> 00:00:13.679

{\an8}So any problems that arise, any challenges,

00:00:13.763 --> 00:00:15.181

{\an8}we have to take them head-on.

00:00:15.973 --> 00:00:17.892

There are hundreds of us working, uh,

00:00:17.975 --> 00:00:20.895

in the Mission Operations Center around the clock,

00:00:20.978 --> 00:00:23.647

especially the flight operations team.

00:00:25.274 --> 00:00:27.061

We're able to communicate with the telescope

00:00:27.693 --> 00:00:29.612

via this Mission Operations Center.

00:00:30.529 --> 00:00:33.991

We send commands to the telescope, or blocks of code,

00:00:34.003 --> 00:00:36.786

to tell it what to do, what activity to perform.

00:00:37.578 --> 00:00:41.999

We can't actually see the telescope in space, it's too far,

00:00:41.123 --> 00:00:44.794

so we have a tool that's an animated model of the telescope,

00:00:44.877 --> 00:00:47.063

where we can see the telescope unfolding.
