1
00:00:07,970 --> 00:00:06,530
we've been extremely busy here at map

2
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:07,980
over the last few months we actually

3
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:10,410
have parts for e-m1 on the floor but we

4
00:00:14,570 --> 00:00:13,049
also have all of our well confident

5
00:00:16,490 --> 00:00:14,580
articles have been welded and are

6
00:00:18,769 --> 00:00:16,500
sitting out on the floor we also have

7
00:00:21,500 --> 00:00:18,779
our qualification article sitting out on

8
00:00:23,990 --> 00:00:21,510
the floor also we have a dome a stone

9
00:00:26,330 --> 00:00:24,000
and a forward dome all of the rings that

10
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:26,340
are needed for m1 are produced and

11
00:00:29,810 --> 00:00:28,050
sitting on the floor waiting to be

12
00:00:31,220 --> 00:00:29,820
machines factory readiness here to

13
00:00:33,290 --> 00:00:31,230
Michoud assembly facility has been

14
00:00:34,970 --> 00:00:33,300
progressing in fact even accelerating

15
00:00:36,770 --> 00:00:34,980
since the initial completion of the

16
00:00:38,990 --> 00:00:36,780
vertical assembly center at this point

17
00:00:40,819 --> 00:00:39,000
we have our well Darius up and going we

18
00:00:42,619 --> 00:00:40,829
have tape processing areas to the point

19
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:42,629
where the control systems and tooling is

20
00:00:46,459 --> 00:00:44,489
being in place one aspect of the tank

21
00:00:47,660 --> 00:00:46,469
processing areas is all new control

22
00:00:49,850 --> 00:00:47,670
rooms they're going to be managing

23
00:00:52,610 --> 00:00:49,860
electrical requirements interlocks feeds

24
00:00:54,740 --> 00:00:52,620
and propellants and primers and TPS

25
00:00:56,660 --> 00:00:54,750
brace adjacent to these assembly and

26
00:00:58,099 --> 00:00:56,670
integration areas is the engine shop the

27
00:00:59,299 --> 00:00:58,109
Indians will come over from Stennis

28
00:01:01,040 --> 00:00:59,309
Space Center they'll be checked out

29
00:01:02,599 --> 00:01:01,050
carefully and will actually install them

30
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:02,609
here at Michoud as we walk through the

31
00:01:06,830 --> 00:01:04,890
factory today we have world-class robots

32
00:01:09,260 --> 00:01:06,840
doing all types of manufacturing and

33
00:01:11,420 --> 00:01:09,270
assembly operations one of the aspects

34
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:11,430
of tank processing is a proof testing

35
00:01:15,109 --> 00:01:12,930
for both the liquid oxygen and liquid

36
00:01:16,910 --> 00:01:15,119
hydrogen tanks those areas are all but

37
00:01:18,620 --> 00:01:16,920
complete the tooling is on its way in

38
00:01:20,870 --> 00:01:18,630
control systems are being checked out

39
00:01:22,460 --> 00:01:20,880
another really important aspect is we're

40
00:01:24,620 --> 00:01:22,470
bringing a lot more skilled technicians

41
00:01:26,179 --> 00:01:24,630
on this coming year already in place are

42
00:01:28,490 --> 00:01:26,189
the welders and the weld engineers

43
00:01:30,230 --> 00:01:28,500
joining them will be planners and folks

44
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:30,240
working all the tank processing areas

45
00:01:33,679 --> 00:01:31,650
and then of course the assembly
