00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:32,000
My name is Ray Pitts and I'm the Co-principal\h
Investigator of the OSCAR project,\h\h

2
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:37,760
the Orbital Syngas/Commodity Augmentation\h
Reactor. OSCAR is a sustainable technology.\h\h

3
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:43,200
With the the dawn of long duration\h
spaceflight going to the moon,\h\h

4
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:48,080
potentially back to mars in the future, we need\h
to be as sustainable as we possibly can. So in\h\h

5
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:57,840
order to do so, we need to be able to reutilize\h
and repurpose everything that we bring with us.

6
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:05,120
So we only had a few modifications since the\h
first flight, and two of the most notable ones\h\h

7
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:09,520
was we increased the number of weldments we have\h
on the system to make it as leak tight as possible\h\h

8
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:14,400
going into our second flight. The second was that\h
we had an improved design on our gas line heaters\h\h

9
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:19,280
and working with STMD's Flight Opportunities has\h
been a great opportunity and they supported us in\h\h

10
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:23,280
terms of their belief in the science and this\h
research and what this technology is going to\h\h
