As a planetary scientist I help
integrate science into

exploration. With SLS I help load
science missions or payloads

7
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,910
so that we can explore deep
space destinations.

By using the Space Launch System
or SLS to explore the Moon

00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,260
we get to explore the entire history
of the solar system because

00:00:32,260 --> 00:00:35,090
some of the oldest rocks are
preserved on the lunar surface

The great thing about SLS is
it has a large fairing

17
00:00:51,030 --> 00:00:53,740
so we can launch large
payloads into deep space.

18
00:00:53,740 --> 00:00:56,570
The fairing is the enclosure around
the payload that
