WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:03.720 My name is Hannah Hopkins and I'm a software developer 2 00:00:03.720 --> 00:00:07.050 for NASA working on the ARTEMIS team. 3 00:00:07.050 --> 00:00:11.170 line:15% So, ARTEMIS is basically a simulation that simulates 4 00:00:11.170 --> 00:00:14.010 line:15% space launch system all throughout flight 5 00:00:14.010 --> 00:00:17.010 line:15% and so, space launch system is the rocket 6 00:00:17.010 --> 00:00:19.810 line:15% that NASA's currently building to take us to the moon 7 00:00:19.810 --> 00:00:21.770 and to Mars and all those really cool places 8 00:00:21.770 --> 00:00:25.100 and so, what ARTEMIS does is it simulates all of 9 00:00:25.100 --> 00:00:27.030 the different components of SLS 10 00:00:27.030 --> 00:00:28.360 line:15% to make sure that they're gonna act 11 00:00:28.360 --> 00:00:31.350 line:15% as we expect them to act and it also looks 12 00:00:31.350 --> 00:00:34.610 line:15% at what if one of the flight computer shuts down mid-flight 13 00:00:34.610 --> 00:00:38.370 line:15% or what if one of the engines never goes off. 14 00:00:39.570 --> 00:00:40.670 Stuff like that and so, 15 00:00:40.670 --> 00:00:41.940 you look at all those different things 16 00:00:41.940 --> 00:00:44.630 and see how the rocket is going to react. 17 00:00:44.630 --> 00:00:46.650 So whenever we actually do launch, 18 00:00:46.650 --> 00:00:50.030 we're better prepared for anything that happens. 19 00:00:50.030 --> 00:00:54.420 As as software developer, I'm writing code that 20 00:00:54.420 --> 00:00:58.140 number one, ensures the accuracy of ARTEMIS 21 00:00:58.140 --> 00:00:59.340 because if we think there's a problem 22 00:00:59.340 --> 00:01:01.880 and there's really not, that can cause a lot of problems 23 00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:04.330 line:15% or if we think there isn't a problem and there actually is, 24 00:01:04.330 --> 00:01:05.970 line:15% that also causes a lot of problems 25 00:01:05.970 --> 00:01:10.040 line:15% and I'm also working on importing the real flight software 26 00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:13.700 line:15% that's actually going to be used on SLS into ARTEMIS. 27 00:01:13.700 --> 00:01:15.320 I'm also doing that as well. 28 00:01:15.320 --> 00:01:18.560 ARTEMIS is a really large project, obviously. 29 00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:21.090 So it's kind of, I know it was very overwhelming for me 30 00:01:21.090 --> 00:01:22.860 in the beginning to just go into it 31 00:01:22.860 --> 00:01:26.870 and just see this huge ARTEMIS project going on. 32 00:01:27.930 --> 00:01:30.710 They kinda break it down in to... 33 00:01:30.710 --> 00:01:33.600 So, what I was working on and actually just finished 34 00:01:33.600 --> 00:01:37.490 was the series of tests and I wrote code for 35 00:01:37.490 --> 00:01:39.740 all of these tests in this memo 36 00:01:39.740 --> 00:01:44.480 line:15% that basically check and make sure that different values 37 00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:46.740 line:15% are where they're supposed to be at the correct time 38 00:01:46.740 --> 00:01:49.780 line:15% and so I wrote a series of programs that went through 39 00:01:49.780 --> 00:01:52.610 line:15% an automated, all of the checks for that. 40 00:01:52.610 --> 00:01:54.020 And so they could just run a test 41 00:01:54.020 --> 00:01:55.370 and then they could run my program 42 00:01:55.370 --> 00:01:58.020 and then it would just check all of the different values 43 00:01:58.020 --> 00:01:59.170 and make sure they're where they need to be 44 00:01:59.170 --> 00:02:02.410 and if they're not, then it pops up this error 45 00:02:02.410 --> 00:02:03.680 that says that something's wrong 46 00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:05.570 and so that was one of the projects 47 00:02:05.570 --> 00:02:07.010 that I've been working on recently. 48 00:02:07.010 --> 00:02:09.610 So they just kinda break it down like that, I guess.
