Hi, my is Kent Chojnacki and I'm the Stages Associate Manager

2
00:00:03,536 --> 00:00:05,336
for the Space Launch System.

3
00:00:05,353 --> 00:00:07,320
This is Rocket Science in 60 seconds.

4
00:00:09,556 --> 00:00:13,823
The EUS is in the Block 1B configuration and following Artemis 3,

5
00:00:14,012 --> 00:00:17,479
it will be able to send much larger payload capacity towards the moon.

6
00:00:19,939 --> 00:00:22,106
The EUS design makes the SLS rocket for

7
00:00:22,110 --> 00:00:24,077
later Artemis missions more powerful.

8
00:00:24,131 --> 00:00:26,131
With the EUS, we can send more mass to the moon

9
00:00:26,220 --> 00:00:29,520
to enable a cargo capability for sustained presence on the moon

10
00:00:29,971 --> 00:00:33,404
so humans can explore more of deep space including Mars.

11
00:00:35,550 --> 00:00:39,283
It can send over 37 metric tons to Translunar Injection.

12
00:00:39,287 --> 00:00:42,054
That includes Orion, it's four astronaunts,

13
00:00:42,087 --> 00:00:44,323
and ten metric tons of co-manifested payload.

14
00:00:47,147 --> 00:00:50,280
The EUS has successfully passed it's preliminary design review,

15
00:00:50,281 --> 00:00:51,881
we've done the work in the factory
