00:00:00,479 --> 00:00:07,690
Hi I'm NASA Kennedy's Gabriela Escalera and
I'm taking you Inside KSC.

2
00:00:07,690 --> 00:00:12,549
Senior leaders at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center
in Florida got an up-close look at a new model

3
00:00:12,549 --> 00:00:16,589
that will be utilized in future International
Space Station missions.

4
00:00:16,589 --> 00:00:21,769
They viewed a mockup of the cargo logistics
module for Sierra Nevada Corporation’s Dream

5
00:00:21,769 --> 00:00:26,160
Chaser, the company’s reusable spacecraft,
in the high bay of the Space Station Processing

6
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,980
Facility, or SSPF.

7
00:00:28,980 --> 00:00:33,250
Dream Chaser will provide cargo delivery,
return and disposal service for the space

8
00:00:33,250 --> 00:00:37,670
station under the Commercial Resupply Services
2 contract.

9
00:00:37,670 --> 00:00:42,370
The SSPF is providing support for current
and future NASA and commercial provider programs.

10
00:00:42,370 --> 00:00:46,710
This includes the Artemis program, which will
return astronauts to the lunar surface by

11
00:00:46,710 --> 00:00:47,710
2024.

12
00:00:47,710 --> 00:00:52,860
NASA will establish a sustainable human presence
on the Moon by 2028, with the goal of sending

13
00:00:52,860 --> 00:00:55,289
humans to Mars.

14
00:00:55,289 --> 00:01:00,160
NASA is making major strides in developing
technology to convert trash and human waste

15
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:04,070
into gases such as methane, hydrogen and carbon
dioxide.

16
00:01:04,070 --> 00:01:08,330
The team is expected to complete flight hardware
production for the Orbital Syngas Commodity

17
00:01:08,330 --> 00:01:11,890
Augmentation Reactor, or OSCAR, in the coming
days.

18
00:01:11,890 --> 00:01:17,080
OSCAR is an Early Career Initiative project
that is advancing new and innovative technology

19
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:18,700
for managing waste in space.

20
00:01:18,700 --> 00:01:23,450
OSCAR’s purpose is to reduce the amount
of logistics needed for long duration, deep

21
00:01:23,450 --> 00:01:24,450
space missions.
