before any space shuttle mission gets

00:09.961 --> 00:12.183
underway . People on the ground prepare

00:12.183 --> 00:14.239
for that one mission . Sometimes for

00:14.239 --> 00:16.183
years . Tech Sergeant Steve Jurman

00:16.183 --> 00:18.017
introduces us to one member of a

00:18.017 --> 00:19.906

00:19.906 --> 00:19.900
helped get Department of Defense

00:19.900 --> 00:22.180

00:22.180 --> 00:24.291
that Nasa does involves a partnership

00:24.291 --> 00:26.402
with the Air Force and the Department

00:40.750 --> 00:43.450
experiments review board listing from

00:43.450 --> 00:45.561
the D . O . D . And we integrate them

to go on the space shuttle space

00:47.630 --> 00:49.860
station or any human rated space launch

00:49.860 --> 00:52.060
vehicle . The Air Force's worked with

00:52.060 --> 00:54.420
