6
00:00:12,390 --> 00:00:09,679
artemis one will lift off from launch

7
00:00:15,669 --> 00:00:12,400
pad 39b at nasa's kennedy space center

8
00:00:17,990 --> 00:00:15,679
in florida with 8.8 million pounds of

9
00:00:20,150 --> 00:00:18,000
thrust provided by the most powerful

10
00:00:23,349 --> 00:00:20,160
rocket in the world our space launch

11
00:00:26,470 --> 00:00:23,359
system rocket or sls the uncrewed flight

12
00:00:29,189 --> 00:00:26,480
will be the first integrated test of sls

13
00:00:31,189 --> 00:00:29,199
our new orion spacecraft and exploration

14
00:00:33,670 --> 00:00:31,199
ground systems at kennedy

15
00:00:37,590 --> 00:00:33,680
artemis 1 will send orion beyond the

16
00:00:40,869 --> 00:00:37,600
moon 280 000 miles from earth farther

17
00:00:42,950 --> 00:00:40,879
than any human spacecraft has ever flown

18
00:00:44,790 --> 00:00:42,960
this is not nasa doing this this is the

19
00:00:46,869 --> 00:00:44,800
united states of america doing this this

20
00:00:48,790 --> 00:00:46,879
program the artemis program and there

21
00:00:50,869 --> 00:00:48,800
are companies all across our country

22
00:00:52,310 --> 00:00:50,879
that have a part in it so there is kind

23
00:00:54,069 --> 00:00:52,320
of this wave of excitement being

24
00:00:55,750 --> 00:00:54,079
generated just by saying we're going

25
00:00:57,430 --> 00:00:55,760
back to the moon

26
00:00:59,590 --> 00:00:57,440
after the upper stage of the rocket

27
00:01:01,590 --> 00:00:59,600
separates from orion the upper stage

28
00:01:03,430 --> 00:01:01,600
will deploy small satellites over

29
00:01:04,869 --> 00:01:03,440
several days to perform science

30
00:01:07,190 --> 00:01:04,879
experiments and technology

31
00:01:09,510 --> 00:01:07,200
demonstrations orion will make its

32
00:01:11,590 --> 00:01:09,520
multi-day outbound trip to the moon

33
00:01:13,910 --> 00:01:11,600
propelled by a service module provided

34
00:01:16,070 --> 00:01:13,920
by the european space agency

35
00:01:18,630 --> 00:01:16,080
engineers will test orion's systems on

36
00:01:21,510 --> 00:01:18,640
the way to the moon then orion will fly

37
00:01:23,670 --> 00:01:21,520
about 60 miles above the lunar surface

38
00:01:25,749 --> 00:01:23,680
using the moon's gravity and engines on

39
00:01:27,749 --> 00:01:25,759
the surface module to enter a lunar

40
00:01:30,149 --> 00:01:27,759
orbit

41
00:01:32,789 --> 00:01:30,159
after about a month and a total distance

42
00:01:35,590 --> 00:01:32,799
of over a million miles orion will

43
00:01:38,710 --> 00:01:35,600
return home faster and hotter than any

44
00:01:41,910 --> 00:01:38,720
spacecraft has before a primary goal of

45
00:01:44,630 --> 00:01:41,920
artemis 1 ensure orion safely returns to

46
00:01:46,710 --> 00:01:44,640
earth before we fly with humans when we

47
00:01:49,429 --> 00:01:46,720
do we'll build our capability for

48
00:01:51,590 --> 00:01:49,439
sustainable lunar exploration preparing

49
00:01:55,590 --> 00:01:51,600
us for missions farther into the solar

50
00:01:59,670 --> 00:01:57,429
initially what we'd like to do is start

51
00:02:00,950 --> 00:01:59,680
establishing a presence on the moon so

52
00:02:02,870 --> 00:02:00,960
we're going to establish going back

53
00:02:05,350 --> 00:02:02,880
there on a regular basis and then we'll

54
00:02:07,830 --> 00:02:05,360
end up setting up gateway and we would

55
00:02:11,350 --> 00:02:07,840
launch to the gateway and from gateway

56
00:02:15,990 --> 00:02:13,750
we are there for you know weeks months

57
00:02:17,589 --> 00:02:16,000
on end and there we'll be able to test

58
00:02:19,270 --> 00:02:17,599
out all the hardware and the habitats

59
00:02:21,510 --> 00:02:19,280
and the hatches and the suits and the

60
00:02:24,710 --> 00:02:21,520
rovers that'll allow us to prove out

61
00:02:27,670 --> 00:02:26,309
the moon will lead the way to mars and

62
00:02:29,020 --> 00:02:27,680
we should be there within the next
