00:07.120 --> 00:08.840
- [Joshua De Guzman] NASA wants to find

00:08.840 --> 00:10.150
greener fuels for flight

00:10.290 --> 00:12.650
so they decide to come to Ramstein Air Base

00:12.650 --> 00:14.000
to continue their research.

00:14.120 --> 00:16.831
- [Bruce Anderson] Aviation is a very clean industry

00:16.831 --> 00:20.250
by and large, but it creates clouds and soot particles

00:20.250 --> 00:23.970
which are a concern for local air quality and climate.

00:24.490 --> 00:27.990
NASA and other federal agencies are looking for ways

00:27.990 --> 00:30.150
to reduce those environmental impacts.

00:30.150 --> 00:32.730
- [Joshua De Guzman] NASA is testing multiple fuels

00:32.810 --> 00:35.500
and has partnered with the German Aerospace Center

00:35.570 --> 00:37.170
to conduct their experiments.

00:37.390 --> 00:39.080
- [Hans Schlager] We have several contributions

00:39.080 --> 00:39.913
to the mission.

00:39.940 --> 00:42.468
First of all, we have put into the DCE

00:42.468 --> 00:45.070
a large number of instruments from DLR

00:45.220 --> 00:47.620
which are partly complementary to

00:47.620 --> 00:49.910
the instrumentation NASA has put in.

00:50.010 --> 00:51.490
Then we are also providing

00:51.495 --> 00:53.810
special forecasts for the campaign.

00:54.140 --> 00:58.200
These are forecasts of the formation of contrails

00:58.220 --> 00:59.220
for the coming days.

01:00.025 --> 01:01.140
- [Joshua De Guzman] The reasons for these tests

01:01.140 --> 01:02.930
extend beyond just research,

01:03.020 --> 01:04.880
and into practical applications.

01:05.110 --> 01:06.750
- We're not just doing this for

01:06.750 --> 01:09.100
our own intellectual curiosity.

01:09.100 --> 01:11.680
We're doing this to try to help the public

01:11.780 --> 01:12.900
and also our industries.

01:12.900 --> 01:15.499
- [Joshua De Guzman] Senior airman Joshua De Guzman,

01:15.499 --> 01:17.250
Ramstein Air Base, Germany.
