hi I'm NASA Kennedy's Michelle stone and

2
00:00:09,500 --> 00:00:06,240
I'm taking you inside KSC

3
00:00:12,140 --> 00:00:09,510
a team of nearly a hundred engineers

4
00:00:14,089 --> 00:00:12,150
came together February third to work

5
00:00:17,359 --> 00:00:14,099
through various countdown simulations

6
00:00:19,130 --> 00:00:17,369
for the launch of Artemus 1 the historic

7
00:00:21,500 --> 00:00:19,140
mission will be the first integrated

8
00:00:23,570 --> 00:00:21,510
test flight of the Orion spacecraft and

9
00:00:25,790 --> 00:00:23,580
the Space Launch System that will

10
00:00:28,099 --> 00:00:25,800
ultimately land the first woman and the

11
00:00:30,140 --> 00:00:28,109
next man on the moon under the

12
00:00:32,540 --> 00:00:30,150
leadership of NASA's first female launch

13
00:00:34,549 --> 00:00:32,550
director Charlie Blackwell Thompson the

14
00:00:37,250 --> 00:00:34,559
team went through a series of simulated

15
00:00:39,410 --> 00:00:37,260
challenges as well as a final countdown

16
00:00:40,850 --> 00:00:39,420
procedure these important tests were

17
00:00:43,549 --> 00:00:40,860
conducted inside the launch control

18
00:00:46,010 --> 00:00:43,559
centers firing room 1 at Kennedy Space

19
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:46,020
Center in Florida there are a total of

20
00:00:51,319 --> 00:00:48,210
10 planned simulations for the terminal

21
00:00:53,630 --> 00:00:51,329
count involving teams for Orion space

22
00:00:55,970 --> 00:00:53,640
launch system and exploration ground

23
00:00:58,029 --> 00:00:55,980
systems working together in a launch

24
00:01:00,560 --> 00:00:58,039
configuration during these exercises

25
00:01:02,959 --> 00:01:00,570
different issues are introduced to

26
00:01:05,660 --> 00:01:02,969
familiarize the team with launch day

27
00:01:08,820 --> 00:01:05,670
operations this allows them to practice

28
00:01:11,250 --> 00:01:08,830
how they will tackle those issues in

29
00:01:13,500 --> 00:01:11,260
Gateway logistics element manager mark

30
00:01:15,570 --> 00:01:13,510

Tennessee on January 27th wheeze

33
00:01:23,130 --> 00:01:20,680
explained NASA's plan for a commercial

34
00:01:25,350 --> 00:01:23,140
supply chain to the Gateway a lunar

35
00:01:28,890 --> 00:01:25,360
outpost to the nine hundred air

36
00:01:30,090 --> 00:01:28,900
transport executives in attendance he

37
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:30,100
highlighted the importance of

38
00:01:34,860 --> 00:01:31,810
collaboration with private industry

39
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:34,870
while also presenting an overview of the

40
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:36,930
agency's Artemis deep-space exploration

41
00:01:42,180 --> 00:01:39,810
program during deep space exploration

42
00:01:44,490 --> 00:01:42,190
gateway will provide astronauts with a

43
00:01:46,890 --> 00:01:44,500
sustained presence near the moon to

44
00:01:49,470 --> 00:01:46,900
enable crew members to explore more of

45
00:01:52,110 --> 00:01:49,480
the lunar surface than ever before and

46
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:52,120
will serve as a waypoint before

47
00:01:55,890 --> 00:01:55,330
journeying on tomorrow for more inside
