00:00:04,870 --> 00:00:03,110
my name is nijud moranci and i'm the

2
00:00:06,230 --> 00:00:04,880
mission planning and analysis lead for

3
00:00:10,070 --> 00:00:06,240
orion

4
00:00:11,990 --> 00:00:10,080
exploration architecture by being the

5
00:00:14,150 --> 00:00:12,000
vehicle that really gets the crew safely

6
00:00:16,390 --> 00:00:14,160
to and from earth and can provide for

7
00:00:17,269 --> 00:00:16,400
them for 21 days worth for up to four

8
00:00:19,189 --> 00:00:17,279
crew

9
00:00:20,790 --> 00:00:19,199
of supplies and breathable air and

10
00:00:22,310 --> 00:00:20,800
things like that

11
00:00:24,470 --> 00:00:22,320
we're really designed to be the first

12
00:00:26,470 --> 00:00:24,480
stepping stone to a wide variety of

13
00:00:28,870 --> 00:00:26,480
missions we can go to asteroids with the

14
00:00:30,710 --> 00:00:28,880
crew and we can go to mars and

15
00:00:33,030 --> 00:00:30,720
those things all need more equipment but

16
00:00:35,110 --> 00:00:33,040
orion will be that first piece and we'll

17
00:00:37,750 --> 00:00:35,120
be able to support a lot of missions in

18
00:00:39,430 --> 00:00:37,760
whatever the plans for exploration are

19
00:00:42,150 --> 00:00:39,440
in the future so in order to be

20
00:00:44,310 --> 00:00:42,160
versatile orion is treating it like

21
00:00:46,470 --> 00:00:44,320
upgrade kits it's almost a plug-and-play

22
00:00:48,150 --> 00:00:46,480
system where right now we're building

23
00:00:50,470 --> 00:00:48,160
the base vehicle and that's what

24
00:00:52,790 --> 00:00:50,480
essentially we're flying on eft-1 and

25
00:00:54,549 --> 00:00:52,800
then for follow-on missions we can keep

26
00:00:57,270 --> 00:00:54,559
adding to it we can add the docking

27
00:00:59,270 --> 00:00:57,280
system we can add a water kit

28
00:01:01,189 --> 00:00:59,280
to extend emission we can add thermal

29
00:01:03,590 --> 00:01:01,199
protection we could change the heat

30
00:01:05,990 --> 00:01:03,600
shield to make it thicker which would

31
00:01:07,670 --> 00:01:06,000
handle a higher speed entry and and

32
00:01:10,390 --> 00:01:07,680
really what you need when you go beyond

33
00:01:12,310 --> 00:01:10,400
is to add a habitat module to orion to

34
00:01:14,789 --> 00:01:12,320
give the crew enough space so all of

35
00:01:17,510 --> 00:01:14,799
these things we can modify over time and

36
00:01:19,990 --> 00:01:17,520
build up and take away as needed as uh

37
00:01:21,429 --> 00:01:20,000
as technology improves as well

38
00:01:23,830 --> 00:01:21,439
so what i like best about working on

39
00:01:25,830 --> 00:01:23,840
orion is we're building the exploration

40
00:01:27,429 --> 00:01:25,840
vehicle so i mean i grew up watching the

41
00:01:29,270 --> 00:01:27,439
shuttle and i worked on the space

42
00:01:31,429 --> 00:01:29,280
station and all of those are in low

43
00:01:33,429 --> 00:01:31,439
earth orbit but for me it's the we're

44
00:01:35,510 --> 00:01:33,439
really gonna go beyond

45
00:01:37,590 --> 00:01:35,520
no one's been higher than a few hundred

46
00:01:39,510 --> 00:01:37,600
kilometers from earth in my lifetime so
