00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,240
Welcome to My Domain, here's where I'll introduce you to some cool stuff that will help you

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,320
better understand the topics covered in our show.

3
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:13,840
First, you need to know how to get to Dan's Domain from the NASA Connect website.

4
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:15,680
Just click here to enter.

5
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:19,200
You'll find a link to the show's instructional technology activity.

6
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,960
There's also a zone especially for teachers, and a career zone, so you can meet some of

7
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,160
our program guests and learn about their jobs.

8
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:29,920
Oh yeah, there's a page that gives links to the other neat sites that relate to the show.

9
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:30,920
Now for the good stuff.

10
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:36,360
It's a CD, produced by NASA and the Federal Aviation Administration, that will introduce

11
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:41,160
you to our air traffic control system and some of the tools they use every day.

12
00:00:41,160 --> 00:00:43,160
It's called Gate-to-Gate.

13
00:00:43,160 --> 00:00:48,060
Speaking of air traffic control, let's visit AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

14
00:00:48,060 --> 00:00:52,680
It's the largest air show in the world, and each summer it also becomes the busiest airport

15
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:53,680
in the world.

16
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:58,160
Here, we'll work with the student ambassadors from the American Institute of Aeronautics

17
00:00:58,160 --> 00:00:59,160
and Astronautics.

18
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:03,760
They are a group of high school students from around the world who are participating in

19
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:09,320
an array of aerospace and education activities designed to energize and excite them about

20
00:01:09,320 --> 00:01:11,320
careers in aerospace.

21
00:01:11,320 --> 00:01:16,480
Start your journey by clicking the pre-flight airplane icon at the bottom of the radar scope.

22
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:21,200
By clicking on the airplanes around the scope, you will navigate a flight from San Francisco

23
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:26,040
to New York, beginning with the pre-flight and going around the scope, ending with the

24
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:27,040
landing.

25
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:32,280
NASA Ames Research Center, in cooperation with the FAA, is developing sophisticated

26
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:37,280
software tools and procedures to help air traffic controllers manage air traffic more

27
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:41,000
safely and efficiently throughout all phases of the flight.

28
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,800
This CD will demonstrate how some of these new tools fit into the system.

29
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:50,160
If you go to the CareerZone in Dan's Domain, you'll meet some more of our program partners.

30
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,600
That's it for now, but I'll be back at the end of the student activity to let you in

31
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:58,200
on a new technology partnership NASA Connect has with Riverdeep Interactive Learning.

32
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,200
See you then!
