00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:54,490
[Music]

3
00:00:59,510 --> 00:00:56,750
you are looking at the world's most

4
00:01:03,110 --> 00:00:59,520
rocket and Orion spacecraft live on

5
00:01:05,530 --> 00:01:03,120
Launchpad 39b Artemis 1 embodies the

6
00:01:08,270 --> 00:01:05,540
hard work of thousands across the world

7
00:01:09,469 --> 00:01:08,280
determined to explore for the benefit of

8
00:01:11,210 --> 00:01:09,479
all

9
00:01:13,490 --> 00:01:11,220
welcome and thank you for joining us

10
00:01:16,370 --> 00:01:13,500
live at Kennedy Space Center where the

11
00:01:18,649 --> 00:01:16,380
energy here is palpable as we attempt to

12
00:01:20,810 --> 00:01:18,659
make history today I'm Megan Cruz and

13
00:01:22,609 --> 00:01:20,820
this is NASA astronaut Kayla veran Kayla

14
00:01:24,950 --> 00:01:22,619
great to have you here again so awesome

15
00:01:26,749 --> 00:01:24,960
to be here tonight well uh some of you

16
00:01:28,609 --> 00:01:26,759
may know this Michaela served as a

17
00:01:30,530 --> 00:01:28,619
mission specialist for NASA's SpaceX

18
00:01:32,330 --> 00:01:30,540
crew 3 mission it launched to the

19
00:01:34,249 --> 00:01:32,340
International Space Station in November

20
00:01:36,590 --> 00:01:34,259
of last year and she lived and worked

21
00:01:37,910 --> 00:01:36,600
there for about six months today I am

22
00:01:39,710 --> 00:01:37,920
thrilled to have her here with me to

23
00:01:41,510 --> 00:01:39,720
talk about this rocket behind us

24
00:01:43,850 --> 00:01:41,520
Illuminating beautifully the night sky

25
00:01:45,289 --> 00:01:43,860
here in Florida yeah it's so awesome to

26
00:01:47,330 --> 00:01:45,299
be here tonight when I first walked up

27
00:01:50,030 --> 00:01:47,340
and saw the view from the desk here I

28
00:01:51,770 --> 00:01:50,040
was just blown away by how close it is

29
00:01:53,450 --> 00:01:51,780
and what an awesome view it's going to

30
00:01:55,429 --> 00:01:53,460
be when we get to launch time yeah it's

31
00:01:57,289 --> 00:01:55,439
a magnificent View and I know you're

32
00:01:58,969 --> 00:01:57,299
especially excited about this because if

33
00:02:01,550 --> 00:01:58,979
we launched today this will be the first

34
00:02:04,190 --> 00:02:01,560
launch that you actually see from the

35
00:02:06,530 --> 00:02:04,200
ground exactly I I've never been able to

36
00:02:07,910 --> 00:02:06,540
come see a launch in person except for

37
00:02:09,350 --> 00:02:07,920
my own of course but that's a little bit

38
00:02:11,990 --> 00:02:09,360
different perspective very different

39
00:02:13,850 --> 00:02:12,000
yeah but to be here for the world's most

40
00:02:16,670 --> 00:02:13,860
powerful rocket and the first test

41
00:02:19,070 --> 00:02:16,680
flight of Orion and SLS is just amazing

42
00:02:22,010 --> 00:02:19,080
yeah so our two hour launch window opens

43
00:02:23,630 --> 00:02:22,020
at 104 a.m eastern time so Kayla tell

44
00:02:24,589 --> 00:02:23,640
everyone why are we returning to the

45
00:02:31,070 --> 00:02:24,599
Moon

46
00:02:33,110 --> 00:02:31,080
place to learn more about our solar

47
00:02:34,430 --> 00:02:33,120
system how the moon formed but also how

48
00:02:36,470 --> 00:02:34,440
the Earth and the rest of our solar

49
00:02:38,510 --> 00:02:36,480
system formed and we know so little

50
00:02:40,070 --> 00:02:38,520
about it there's a lot to learn by

51
00:02:42,290 --> 00:02:40,080
returning there and doing some awesome

52
00:02:44,770 --> 00:02:42,300
geology work but it's also the perfect

53
00:02:47,089 --> 00:02:44,780
Proving Ground for our continuation

54
00:02:48,949 --> 00:02:47,099
exploring further into our solar system

55
00:02:50,690 --> 00:02:48,959
and eventually going to Mars right we

56
00:02:53,630 --> 00:02:50,700
need to test all the operations Concepts

57
00:02:55,729 --> 00:02:53,640
all the equipment habitats Rovers suits

58
00:02:57,350 --> 00:02:55,739
all of these things and so it's the

59
00:02:58,729 --> 00:02:57,360
perfect place to test all those things

60
00:03:00,350 --> 00:02:58,739
out and learn the things we need to do

61
00:03:01,610 --> 00:03:00,360
to do something that's almost hard to

62
00:03:03,229 --> 00:03:01,620
wrap your head around going all the way

63
00:03:05,270 --> 00:03:03,239
to another planet absolutely really

64
00:03:07,910 --> 00:03:05,280
ambitious goals and it all starts here

65
00:03:11,270 --> 00:03:07,920
with Artemis one so Artemis one is the

66
00:03:14,210 --> 00:03:11,280
is the first flight test of NASA's brand

67
00:03:16,369 --> 00:03:14,220
new space launch system or SLS rocket

68
00:03:18,229 --> 00:03:16,379
it's the world's most powerful rocket

69
00:03:20,690 --> 00:03:18,239
and will send an uncrewed Orion

70
00:03:22,490 --> 00:03:20,700
spacecraft farther around the Moon than

71
00:03:24,470 --> 00:03:22,500
any of the Apollo missions before it

72
00:03:26,930 --> 00:03:24,480
Artemis 2 will be the first crude

73
00:03:30,229 --> 00:03:26,940
Mission around the moon and then Artemis

74
00:03:32,570 --> 00:03:30,239
3 will use a brand new human Landing

75
00:03:33,949 --> 00:03:32,580
system to bring astronauts to the

76
00:03:35,869 --> 00:03:33,959
surface of the Moon

77
00:03:38,089 --> 00:03:35,879
future Artemis missions will dock to

78
00:03:41,210 --> 00:03:38,099
Gateway NASA's lunar orbiting space

79
00:03:43,369 --> 00:03:41,220
station before descending to the Moon

80
00:03:46,430 --> 00:03:43,379
so Kayla what must we demonstrate with

81
00:03:47,990 --> 00:03:46,440
Artemis one before we put astronauts on

82
00:03:50,750 --> 00:03:48,000
board for those future crude missions

83
00:03:52,490 --> 00:03:50,760
this is our first integrated Test Flight

84
00:03:54,830 --> 00:03:52,500
of the rocket the space launch system

85
00:03:57,110 --> 00:03:54,840
rocket and Orion the capsule that crew

86
00:03:58,970 --> 00:03:57,120
will fly in on Artemis 2. and so it's

87
00:04:01,009 --> 00:03:58,980
really important for us to put all of

88
00:04:03,649 --> 00:04:01,019
those systems together and actually send

89
00:04:05,809 --> 00:04:03,659
them to do a mission test all those

90
00:04:07,910 --> 00:04:05,819
systems in real time in concert together

91
00:04:09,589 --> 00:04:07,920
we do a lot of testing before we get to

92
00:04:11,390 --> 00:04:09,599
this moment before we get to launch day

93
00:04:13,429 --> 00:04:11,400
but it's not integrated and we're not

94
00:04:14,929 --> 00:04:13,439
actually putting the systems under all

95
00:04:16,670 --> 00:04:14,939
of the real world stresses they're going

96
00:04:18,650 --> 00:04:16,680
to see so we want to see the rocket

97
00:04:21,349 --> 00:04:18,660
perform we want to see Orion make it

98
00:04:23,150 --> 00:04:21,359
around the moon go super deep into space

99
00:04:26,330 --> 00:04:23,160
and then come home and successfully

100
00:04:28,610 --> 00:04:26,340
re-entry re-enter so the the heat shield

101
00:04:30,590 --> 00:04:28,620
that actually has to withstand the

102
00:04:32,930 --> 00:04:30,600
fastest and hottest re-entry we've ever

103
00:04:35,030 --> 00:04:32,940
seen in human space flight so that's a

104
00:04:36,650 --> 00:04:35,040
big thing we want to see the heat shield

105
00:04:38,870 --> 00:04:36,660
perform successfully and then of course

106
00:04:41,810 --> 00:04:38,880
recover the vehicle or test all of that

107
00:04:43,490 --> 00:04:41,820
so it's a lot but it's the important

108
00:04:44,870 --> 00:04:43,500
First Step before we put crew on the

109
00:04:47,270 --> 00:04:44,880
vehicle yeah lots of eyes on this one

110
00:04:49,850 --> 00:04:47,280
for sure so tanking of the rocket began

111
00:04:51,409 --> 00:04:49,860
at 4 30 this afternoon NASA's Daryl nail

112
00:04:53,689 --> 00:04:51,419
is inside with the launch Team and has

113
00:04:56,629 --> 00:04:53,699
some information about an issue they're

114
00:04:59,270 --> 00:04:56,639
currently working right Megan uh the

115
00:05:02,330 --> 00:04:59,280
launch director gave the go for tanking

116
00:05:05,210 --> 00:05:02,340
shortly after 3 P.M this afternoon but

117
00:05:07,730 --> 00:05:05,220
as of right now there is a red crew as

118
00:05:10,490 --> 00:05:07,740
they are named specifically specially

119
00:05:14,689 --> 00:05:10,500
trained team of individuals out at the

120
00:05:17,450 --> 00:05:14,699
pad making an unplanned change to a

121
00:05:20,810 --> 00:05:17,460
replenish valve on the liquid hydrogen

122
00:05:23,590 --> 00:05:20,820
side there are two technicians and a

123
00:05:27,710 --> 00:05:23,600
safety representative that are right now

124
00:05:32,029 --> 00:05:27,720
working inside the mobile launcher it's

125
00:05:34,249 --> 00:05:32,039
in an open air area that has a replenish

126
00:05:37,189 --> 00:05:34,259
valve that goes to the liquid hydrogen

127
00:05:39,950 --> 00:05:37,199
side of the core stage now this happened

128
00:05:43,370 --> 00:05:39,960
roughly uh early earlier this evening

129
00:05:46,010 --> 00:05:43,380
probably about an hour ago go when a

130
00:05:48,409 --> 00:05:46,020
leak was detective detected at the core

131
00:05:50,870 --> 00:05:48,419
stage liquid hydrogen valve by the

132
00:05:53,469 --> 00:05:50,880
launch Team here inside firing room one

133
00:05:55,850 --> 00:05:53,479
at the launch control center

134
00:06:00,290 --> 00:05:55,860
unfortunately the team here was unable

135
00:06:02,870 --> 00:06:00,300
to remedy the leak remotely and so it

136
00:06:05,450 --> 00:06:02,880
became necessary to send a crew of

137
00:06:09,469 --> 00:06:05,460
individuals called the red crew out to

138
00:06:11,870 --> 00:06:09,479
the launch pad to make a Hands-On fix so

139
00:06:14,510 --> 00:06:11,880
to speak to that valve what they're

140
00:06:17,930 --> 00:06:14,520
doing is they're torquing down bolts

141
00:06:20,930 --> 00:06:17,940
that are on the valve they believe that

142
00:06:23,629 --> 00:06:20,940
by torquing these bolts down they'll get

143
00:06:26,990 --> 00:06:23,639
a better seal on that replenish valve

144
00:06:29,990 --> 00:06:27,000
and that should remedy the leak the leak

145
00:06:32,809 --> 00:06:30,000
was detected by the Hazardous operations

146
00:06:35,210 --> 00:06:32,819
team here inside the launch control when

147
00:06:38,210 --> 00:06:35,220
the percentage of hydrogen went above

148
00:06:40,309 --> 00:06:38,220
one percent now that's significant for

149
00:06:44,390 --> 00:06:40,319
this particular area because it is an

150
00:06:48,730 --> 00:06:44,400
open air location uh the skid valve that

151
00:06:53,029 --> 00:06:48,740
runs uh the uh liquid hydrogen

152
00:06:56,450 --> 00:06:53,039
into the core stage and we had reached

153
00:06:58,670 --> 00:06:56,460
replenish when this leak was detected

154
00:07:00,290 --> 00:06:58,680
over on the liquid hydrogen side of

155
00:07:03,909 --> 00:07:00,300
course there's two tanks on the core

156
00:07:06,830 --> 00:07:03,919
stage liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen

157
00:07:10,309 --> 00:07:06,840
both had been uh

158
00:07:13,070 --> 00:07:10,319
topped and gotten into replenish when

159
00:07:16,670 --> 00:07:13,080
this leak was detected currently liquid

160
00:07:20,330 --> 00:07:16,680
oxygen is topped off and stable in

161
00:07:22,850 --> 00:07:20,340
replenish but the liquid hydrogen is in

162
00:07:24,830 --> 00:07:22,860
stop flow at the moment which will

163
00:07:26,409 --> 00:07:24,840
prevent them from proceeding forward

164
00:07:31,129 --> 00:07:26,419
with a launch

165
00:07:33,890 --> 00:07:31,139
until that leak is remedied again this

166
00:07:36,170 --> 00:07:33,900
red crew is inside the area inside the

167
00:07:39,490 --> 00:07:36,180
blast danger area working inside the

168
00:07:42,409 --> 00:07:39,500
mobile launcher torquing down those nuts

169
00:07:44,689 --> 00:07:42,419
that are associated with the replenish

170
00:07:46,790 --> 00:07:44,699
valve for the liquid hydrogen side of

171
00:07:50,029 --> 00:07:46,800
the core stage of course we'll keep you

172
00:07:52,610 --> 00:07:50,039
updated on uh the operation in the

173
00:07:54,230 --> 00:07:52,620
meantime I'll send it back to Megan

174
00:07:56,570 --> 00:07:54,240
thank you for that update Daryl and yes

175
00:07:58,550 --> 00:07:56,580
we are looking forward to your next uh

176
00:07:59,990 --> 00:07:58,560
update as to what happened with the red

177
00:08:01,670 --> 00:08:00,000
team out there on the pad

178
00:08:03,710 --> 00:08:01,680
now today will be our third opportunity

179
00:08:05,990 --> 00:08:03,720
to launch Artemis one the launch team

180
00:08:07,610 --> 00:08:06,000
called off the first two attempts due to

181
00:08:09,290 --> 00:08:07,620
issues while loading propellants into

182
00:08:10,969 --> 00:08:09,300
the Rockets the team addressed those

183
00:08:13,490 --> 00:08:10,979
issues and plans to try again in

184
00:08:15,890 --> 00:08:13,500
September but then hurricane Ian made

185
00:08:18,589 --> 00:08:15,900
landfall here on Florida as a strong

186
00:08:20,749 --> 00:08:18,599
category four storm satellite imagery

187
00:08:24,050 --> 00:08:20,759
there shows us the storm went right by

188
00:08:25,670 --> 00:08:24,060
launch pad 39b thankfully the rocket was

189
00:08:27,770 --> 00:08:25,680
safe inside the Vehicle Assembly

190
00:08:30,170 --> 00:08:27,780
Building at the time the team rolled the

191
00:08:32,329 --> 00:08:30,180
rocket back to the pad two weeks ago and

192
00:08:34,790 --> 00:08:32,339
it stayed there through hurricane Nicole

193
00:08:37,010 --> 00:08:34,800
which made landfall last week as a

194
00:08:39,350 --> 00:08:37,020
category one just south of Kennedy Space

195
00:08:41,389 --> 00:08:39,360
Center teams inspected everything after

196
00:08:43,670 --> 00:08:41,399
the storm and confirmed they were ready

197
00:08:45,410 --> 00:08:43,680
to try and launch today

198
00:08:47,449 --> 00:08:45,420
now Daryl is one of a team of people

199
00:08:49,190 --> 00:08:47,459
helping to bring you today's uncrewed

200
00:08:51,230 --> 00:08:49,200
flight test we have Jasmine Hopkins

201
00:08:53,630 --> 00:08:51,240
nearby also inside with the launch Team

202
00:08:55,790 --> 00:08:53,640
who will interview some key players in

203
00:08:57,590 --> 00:08:55,800
our Return To The Moon we also have Leah

204
00:09:00,290 --> 00:08:57,600
Cheshire inside Mission Control at

205
00:09:02,570 --> 00:09:00,300
Johnson Space Center Dan Hewitt with a

206
00:09:04,070 --> 00:09:02,580
new tool we're excited to show you Leah

207
00:09:06,590 --> 00:09:04,080
Martin at the Kennedy Space Center

208
00:09:08,269 --> 00:09:06,600
Visitor complex and finally Brian sizek

209
00:09:10,910 --> 00:09:08,279
with the U.S space force monitoring

210
00:09:13,310 --> 00:09:10,920
weather with one hour 54 minutes until

211
00:09:15,170 --> 00:09:13,320
liftoff how are we looking Brian

212
00:09:16,970 --> 00:09:15,180
and you showed we had certainly had some

213
00:09:19,070 --> 00:09:16,980
interesting weather here in East Central

214
00:09:20,990 --> 00:09:19,080
Florida over the last several months but

215
00:09:23,150 --> 00:09:21,000
I'm happy to report we're not looking at

216
00:09:24,889 --> 00:09:23,160
any type of satellite imagery like the

217
00:09:27,050 --> 00:09:24,899
ones you just showed overall weather is

218
00:09:28,910 --> 00:09:27,060
looking quite favorable as we head

219
00:09:30,170 --> 00:09:28,920
throughout the countdown and into the

220
00:09:31,910 --> 00:09:30,180
launch window so here's what we're

221
00:09:34,250 --> 00:09:31,920
looking at right now really just one

222
00:09:36,110 --> 00:09:34,260
area of concern that's these upper level

223
00:09:38,269 --> 00:09:36,120
clouds that are moving in so there's a

224
00:09:40,190 --> 00:09:38,279
cold front in the Gulf of Mexico right

225
00:09:42,290 --> 00:09:40,200
now that's producing some showers in the

226
00:09:44,930 --> 00:09:42,300
Gulf but those are not expected to get

227
00:09:46,790 --> 00:09:44,940
to us by the launch window but they are

228
00:09:48,829 --> 00:09:46,800
the upper level winds are bringing in

229
00:09:50,509 --> 00:09:48,839
some cirrus clouds that are moving in

230
00:09:51,949 --> 00:09:50,519
now they're high enough and thin enough

231
00:09:53,750 --> 00:09:51,959
where they're really not going to be a

232
00:09:55,790 --> 00:09:53,760
concern for it to be a thick Cloud

233
00:09:58,009 --> 00:09:55,800
layers rule violation they'd have to be

234
00:10:00,230 --> 00:09:58,019
a lot thicker and a little bit lower in

235
00:10:02,269 --> 00:10:00,240
the atmosphere in order to hold a charge

236
00:10:03,889 --> 00:10:02,279
so that's what we're looking for in

237
00:10:06,230 --> 00:10:03,899
these lightning launch commit criteria

238
00:10:08,210 --> 00:10:06,240
not just natural lighting but rocket

239
00:10:10,070 --> 00:10:08,220
triggered lightning potential as some of

240
00:10:11,930 --> 00:10:10,080
these clouds can hold a charge a rocket

241
00:10:14,449 --> 00:10:11,940
can actually induce a lightning strike

242
00:10:16,430 --> 00:10:14,459
in a ATM atmosphere that's not strong

243
00:10:17,389 --> 00:10:16,440
enough to produce a natural lightning

244
00:10:19,310 --> 00:10:17,399
strike so that's really what we're

245
00:10:20,930 --> 00:10:19,320
watching but right now weather is go

246
00:10:23,090 --> 00:10:20,940
these clouds as I said are high enough

247
00:10:24,949 --> 00:10:23,100
and thin enough where they're really not

248
00:10:26,449 --> 00:10:24,959
going to be much of concern but we are

249
00:10:28,430 --> 00:10:26,459
going to be watching it my colleagues

250
00:10:29,990 --> 00:10:28,440
Melody Lovin Mark Berger and the rest of

251
00:10:32,269 --> 00:10:30,000
the launch weather team will be watching

252
00:10:33,889 --> 00:10:32,279
this very closely as we head closer to

253
00:10:36,769 --> 00:10:33,899
t0 so let's take a look at the graphic

254
00:10:38,690 --> 00:10:36,779
uh the latest briefing 90 percent go

255
00:10:40,790 --> 00:10:38,700
really the only concern being the thick

256
00:10:42,889 --> 00:10:40,800
Cloud layers Rule and a very small

257
00:10:45,050 --> 00:10:42,899
concern for the cumulus cloud rule but

258
00:10:47,870 --> 00:10:45,060
overall the weather is looking favorable

259
00:10:49,670 --> 00:10:47,880
as I said right now weather is go those

260
00:10:52,130 --> 00:10:49,680
clouds are high enough and thin enough

261
00:10:53,870 --> 00:10:52,140
where we do not expect them to be a

262
00:10:56,090 --> 00:10:53,880
concern so I'm happy to report a very

263
00:10:58,910 --> 00:10:56,100
favorable launch forecast as we head

264
00:11:01,610 --> 00:10:58,920
closer to P0 Megan back to you

265
00:11:03,110 --> 00:11:01,620
don't you just love hearing 90 you know

266
00:11:04,790 --> 00:11:03,120
that's wonderful especially here in

267
00:11:06,710 --> 00:11:04,800
Florida you know what I mean weather can

268
00:11:10,430 --> 00:11:06,720
really be uh

269
00:11:12,829 --> 00:11:10,440
uh tricky here in Florida so 90 is

270
00:11:15,290 --> 00:11:12,839
perfect now Florida Space Coast has been

271
00:11:17,930 --> 00:11:15,300
the primary launch site for NASA's crude

272
00:11:20,449 --> 00:11:17,940
missions for the last six decades first

273
00:11:22,670 --> 00:11:20,459
Apollo then shuttle the commercial crew

274
00:11:25,850 --> 00:11:22,680
program which Kayla flew up as a part of

275
00:11:27,470 --> 00:11:25,860
and soon Artemis let's go now to NASA's

276
00:11:29,509 --> 00:11:27,480
Jasmine Hopkins

277
00:11:31,370 --> 00:11:29,519
thank you so much Megan we're here in

278
00:11:33,590 --> 00:11:31,380
the launch control center amid all the

279
00:11:35,030 --> 00:11:33,600
excitement in firing room two and I'm so

280
00:11:37,009 --> 00:11:35,040
glad right now to be joined by our

281
00:11:38,810 --> 00:11:37,019
Kennedy Space Center Director Janet

282
00:11:40,370 --> 00:11:38,820
petro and our deputy director as well

283
00:11:42,949 --> 00:11:40,380
Kelvin Manning thank you both for being

284
00:11:44,810 --> 00:11:42,959
here thank you Jasmine we are so glad to

285
00:11:47,090 --> 00:11:44,820
have you this team has overcome a lot to

286
00:11:48,829 --> 00:11:47,100
get to today we are no stranger to

287
00:11:51,050 --> 00:11:48,839
storms on the Space Coast we overcame

288
00:11:53,449 --> 00:11:51,060
Ian and then Nicole Janet how did we

289
00:11:56,449 --> 00:11:53,459
embrace the challenge that's my Line

290
00:11:58,610 --> 00:11:56,459
Jazz man I gotta say I couldn't be more

291
00:12:00,350 --> 00:11:58,620
proud of the team out here everything we

292
00:12:03,410 --> 00:12:00,360
did to get to this point and then to

293
00:12:05,569 --> 00:12:03,420
have those two storms thrown at us at

294
00:12:08,389 --> 00:12:05,579
the last minute Nicole all the

295
00:12:11,030 --> 00:12:08,399
evacuations as you know one time we

296
00:12:13,009 --> 00:12:11,040
remained at the pad and the other time

297
00:12:14,690 --> 00:12:13,019
we had to roll back to the VAB but I got

298
00:12:17,449 --> 00:12:14,700
to tell you across the workforce whether

299
00:12:19,009 --> 00:12:17,459
it was our program people across the

300
00:12:21,050 --> 00:12:19,019
agency our institutional support

301
00:12:22,610 --> 00:12:21,060
organizations they all came together and

302
00:12:24,410 --> 00:12:22,620
worked as a team and so here we are

303
00:12:26,210 --> 00:12:24,420
tonight looking forward to a great

304
00:12:28,310 --> 00:12:26,220
launch right we're a very strong team

305
00:12:30,050 --> 00:12:28,320
and we have been at the this for for

306
00:12:32,210 --> 00:12:30,060
years for decades we started off during

307
00:12:34,190 --> 00:12:32,220
the Apollo program but now we've evolved

308
00:12:36,889 --> 00:12:34,200
into what we're calling a multi-user

309
00:12:38,870 --> 00:12:36,899
Spaceport Kelvin what does that mean

310
00:12:40,310 --> 00:12:38,880
so when we were getting ready to retire

311
00:12:41,449 --> 00:12:40,320
the Space Shuttle A lot of people

312
00:12:43,790 --> 00:12:41,459
thought we were going out of business

313
00:12:45,590 --> 00:12:43,800
literally shutting down but our

314
00:12:46,970 --> 00:12:45,600
leadership team we had a vision to

315
00:12:49,009 --> 00:12:46,980
create what we call a multi-user

316
00:12:51,889 --> 00:12:49,019
Spaceport to become the world's Premier

317
00:12:53,870 --> 00:12:51,899
government and Commercial Spaceport and

318
00:12:57,050 --> 00:12:53,880
so that's happened over the last 10 or

319
00:12:59,990 --> 00:12:57,060
so years probably a lot faster than

320
00:13:01,910 --> 00:13:00,000
um we thought it would but right if you

321
00:13:03,170 --> 00:13:01,920
would say uh you ask us well what's the

322
00:13:05,030 --> 00:13:03,180
future look like I'll tell you we're

323
00:13:07,009 --> 00:13:05,040
just getting started right the future is

324
00:13:09,230 --> 00:13:07,019
very bright for us and this is a really

325
00:13:11,389 --> 00:13:09,240
big day for NASA I mean Artemis launched

326
00:13:13,490 --> 00:13:11,399
but an even bigger year for Kennedy

327
00:13:15,769 --> 00:13:13,500
Space Center the diamond anniversary our

328
00:13:18,110 --> 00:13:15,779
60th anniversary Janet how have we

329
00:13:19,730 --> 00:13:18,120
commemorated that big milestone oh we've

330
00:13:21,590 --> 00:13:19,740
had a whole bunch of celebrations all

331
00:13:24,350 --> 00:13:21,600
along this year as you know Kennedy

332
00:13:26,509 --> 00:13:24,360
became a center back in 1962 as you said

333
00:13:27,769 --> 00:13:26,519
we've been celebrating all year long and

334
00:13:30,590 --> 00:13:27,779
I can't think of a better way of

335
00:13:32,569 --> 00:13:30,600
culminating our diamond anniversary with

336
00:13:35,150 --> 00:13:32,579
a launch of the Artemis for the Artemis

337
00:13:36,650 --> 00:13:35,160
generation later this evening right that

338
00:13:38,810 --> 00:13:36,660
is so exciting and what does it mean for

339
00:13:40,610 --> 00:13:38,820
both of you to be leading the center at

340
00:13:42,769 --> 00:13:40,620
one of our busiest cadences we've ever

341
00:13:44,389 --> 00:13:42,779
seen we've had over 40 launches this

342
00:13:46,069 --> 00:13:44,399
year alone what has that been like yeah

343
00:13:49,550 --> 00:13:46,079
we're gonna we're gonna get past 50

344
00:13:51,650 --> 00:13:49,560
tonight I think but for me it's I'm

345
00:13:53,990 --> 00:13:51,660
incredible incredibly honored to be

346
00:13:56,030 --> 00:13:54,000
leading this team it really is all about

347
00:13:58,910 --> 00:13:56,040

make things happen right yeah it is a

353
00:14:10,370 --> 00:14:08,279
privilege to work here and it's not

354
00:14:11,990 --> 00:14:10,380
about us like Janet said it's about the

355
00:14:14,030 --> 00:14:12,000
people it really is it's about this

356
00:14:15,350 --> 00:14:14,040
great team Janet Kelvin thank you both

00:14:20,030 --> 00:14:16,860
appreciate it thank you Jasmine go

359
00:14:22,610 --> 00:14:20,040
Artemis yes go Artemis absolutely Megan

360
00:14:25,250 --> 00:14:22,620
back to you great to hear from them so

361
00:14:27,650 --> 00:14:25,260
one hour and 48 minutes and Counting

362
00:14:30,170 --> 00:14:27,660
until our two hour launch window opens

363
00:14:31,910 --> 00:14:30,180
we heard Dale report out that there is a

364
00:14:33,290 --> 00:14:31,920
team at the pad working an issue so why

365
00:14:35,150 --> 00:14:33,300
don't we go back to him now to see if he

366
00:14:38,090 --> 00:14:35,160
has an update for us yeah Megan now

367
00:14:40,310 --> 00:14:38,100
continuing to track their red crew Crews

368
00:14:41,930 --> 00:14:40,320
work at the launch pad this is a

369
00:14:44,689 --> 00:14:41,940
specially trained team of three

370
00:14:46,610 --> 00:14:44,699
individuals two technicians one safety

371
00:14:49,610 --> 00:14:46,620
representative who are currently right

372
00:14:51,650 --> 00:14:49,620
now inside the mobile launcher at the

373
00:14:53,930 --> 00:14:51,660
base of the launch pad they are doing

374
00:14:56,990 --> 00:14:53,940
work on a replenish valve currently

375
00:15:00,350 --> 00:14:57,000
torquing down the bolts in order to

376
00:15:02,750 --> 00:15:00,360
remedy a leak in that replenish valve

377
00:15:05,230 --> 00:15:02,760
that was detected a little over an hour

378
00:15:08,569 --> 00:15:05,240
ago now this is significant because

379
00:15:11,389 --> 00:15:08,579
currently with a leak they have had to

380
00:15:14,569 --> 00:15:11,399
go into what's called stop flow on the

381
00:15:17,449 --> 00:15:14,579
liquid hydrogen tank of the core stage

382
00:15:20,569 --> 00:15:17,459
normally under replenish they continue

383
00:15:22,730 --> 00:15:20,579
to flow liquid hydrogen into the tank as

384
00:15:25,610 --> 00:15:22,740
it boils off in order to maintain a

385
00:15:29,150 --> 00:15:25,620
level of around 100 percent but that has

386
00:15:32,449 --> 00:15:29,160
been in stop flow and so at this moment

387
00:15:35,509 --> 00:15:32,459
we are slowly losing liquid hydrogen in

388
00:15:37,550 --> 00:15:35,519
the core stage hydrogen tank the red

389
00:15:40,370 --> 00:15:37,560
crew went in and is currently working a

390
00:15:42,590 --> 00:15:40,380
little longer than expected on the issue

391
00:15:45,170 --> 00:15:42,600
it was estimated that it would take 15

392
00:15:48,050 --> 00:15:45,180
minutes to do the work but as we're now

393
00:15:50,629 --> 00:15:48,060
finding out the red crew is torquing

394
00:15:52,970 --> 00:15:50,639
down the bolts and then backing out of

395
00:15:55,910 --> 00:15:52,980
the area and allowing the launch Team to

396
00:15:58,250 --> 00:15:55,920
cycle the valves to test to see if

397
00:16:00,710 --> 00:15:58,260
they've got that leak fixed

398
00:16:04,790 --> 00:16:00,720
so as they do this it will we understand

399
00:16:07,189 --> 00:16:04,800
they will cycle this work go in cycle

400
00:16:09,350 --> 00:16:07,199
the valves torque them down again if

401
00:16:11,870 --> 00:16:09,360
they continues to leak and then back out

402
00:16:14,629 --> 00:16:11,880
and test the work and this may continue

403
00:16:17,269 --> 00:16:14,639
until they have it fixed the red crew

404
00:16:20,269 --> 00:16:17,279
going on onto the launch pad isn't uh

405
00:16:23,509 --> 00:16:20,279
totally uncommon uh occurrence certainly

406
00:16:26,150 --> 00:16:23,519
new with the Artemis program but uh work

407
00:16:28,370 --> 00:16:26,160
like this was done in previous space

408
00:16:30,590 --> 00:16:28,380
programs the red crew is specially

409
00:16:33,410 --> 00:16:30,600
trained for this work they are

410
00:16:36,949 --> 00:16:33,420
accustomed to working around in

411
00:16:39,290 --> 00:16:36,959
hazardous operation uh especially a

412
00:16:41,509 --> 00:16:39,300
fully tanked rocket

413
00:16:44,329 --> 00:16:41,519
again we are tracking red crew's

414
00:16:46,009 --> 00:16:44,339
operation out at the pad it's expected

415
00:16:48,050 --> 00:16:46,019
that this will eat into the launch

416
00:16:52,129 --> 00:16:48,060
window which currently we have liftoff

417
00:16:55,970 --> 00:16:52,139
at 104 a.m eastern time but the window

418
00:16:58,310 --> 00:16:55,980
runs two hours to 304 a.m eastern time

419
00:17:00,530 --> 00:16:58,320
again monitoring the red Crews work

420
00:17:03,230 --> 00:17:00,540
we'll have more updates for you a little

421
00:17:05,569 --> 00:17:03,240
later on for now back to you Megan

422
00:17:07,370 --> 00:17:05,579
thank you Daryl some quick programming

423
00:17:09,590 --> 00:17:07,380
notes for the first time ever we are

424
00:17:11,390 --> 00:17:09,600
broadcasting a launch in 4k you can

425
00:17:13,429 --> 00:17:11,400
watch it on NASA's YouTube channel or

426
00:17:16,610 --> 00:17:13,439
check your local provider to see if you

427
00:17:18,590 --> 00:17:16,620
have NASA's UHD channel the audio of our

428
00:17:22,730 --> 00:17:18,600
broadcast is also available on the local

429
00:17:24,650 --> 00:17:22,740
amateur VHF and UHF radio frequencies

430
00:17:26,030 --> 00:17:24,660
you see at the bottom of your screen so

431
00:17:27,590 --> 00:17:26,040
if you're here along the space coast and

432
00:17:29,330 --> 00:17:27,600
interested in that make note of those

433
00:17:31,730 --> 00:17:29,340
frequencies now

434
00:17:33,770 --> 00:17:31,740
or you can watch today's launch with

435
00:17:35,870 --> 00:17:33,780
live commentary in Spanish that

436
00:17:38,210 --> 00:17:35,880
broadcast starts at midnight on NASA s

437
00:17:39,830 --> 00:17:38,220
in espanol's YouTube page which we're

438
00:17:41,450 --> 00:17:39,840
showing you now at the bottom of your

439
00:17:43,490 --> 00:17:41,460
screen

440
00:17:45,470 --> 00:17:43,500
now Kayla why did NASA choose the name

441
00:17:47,690 --> 00:17:45,480
Artemis for our return to the Moon

442
00:17:50,029 --> 00:17:47,700
well in Greek mythology Artemis is the

443
00:17:52,070 --> 00:17:50,039
twin sister of Apollo so it's really a

444
00:17:53,570 --> 00:17:52,080
connection back to the Apollo era the

445
00:17:56,390 --> 00:17:53,580
amazing things we did as part of the

446
00:17:58,430 --> 00:17:56,400
Apollo program but we wanted to give a

447
00:18:00,529 --> 00:17:58,440
nod to the future you know it's a it's a

448
00:18:03,110 --> 00:18:00,539
new set of missions we're with new

449
00:18:05,210 --> 00:18:03,120
objectives so it's a Connection to the

450
00:18:07,130 --> 00:18:05,220
Past with an eye towards what we might

451
00:18:08,870 --> 00:18:07,140
do as part of the Artemis generation

452
00:18:10,909 --> 00:18:08,880
yeah let's talk about what those future

453
00:18:12,830 --> 00:18:10,919
Ambitions might be I mean Landing the

454
00:18:14,750 --> 00:18:12,840
first woman and first person of color on

455
00:18:17,390 --> 00:18:14,760
the lunar surface that is a worthwhile

456
00:18:19,730 --> 00:18:17,400
ambition oh yeah absolutely I think

457
00:18:21,409 --> 00:18:19,740
we've come a long way since Apollo in so

458
00:18:23,990 --> 00:18:21,419
many ways in the space program but one

459
00:18:26,150 --> 00:18:24,000
of the ways we've evolved is our

460
00:18:28,130 --> 00:18:26,160
astronaut core more closely reflects the

461
00:18:30,529 --> 00:18:28,140
nation it represents now so those Crews

462
00:18:32,210 --> 00:18:30,539
will be more diverse and we think those

463
00:18:33,890 --> 00:18:32,220
diverse perspectives not only in our

464
00:18:36,049 --> 00:18:33,900
astronaut core but our larger team only

465
00:18:40,250 --> 00:18:36,059
make us a stronger one yeah all right

466
00:18:42,950 --> 00:18:40,260
well coming up we are going to hear from

467
00:18:45,049 --> 00:18:42,960
some of the Apollo Astronauts and learn

468
00:18:47,630 --> 00:18:45,059
more about what we will accomplish for

469
00:18:49,430 --> 00:18:47,640
Humanity by going back to the Moon we'll

470
00:18:51,350 --> 00:18:49,440
meet some of the women shattering glass

471
00:18:54,470 --> 00:18:51,360
ceilings to bring Artemis to life

472
00:18:55,490 --> 00:18:54,480
including NASA's first female launch

473
00:18:57,350 --> 00:18:55,500
director

474
00:18:59,630 --> 00:18:57,360
we'll also show you the space launch

475
00:19:02,510 --> 00:18:59,640
system up close and what happens when

476
00:19:04,430 --> 00:19:02,520
the cutest group of visitors gets the

477
00:19:06,230 --> 00:19:04,440
surprise of a lifetime

478
00:19:08,630 --> 00:19:06,240
plus we'll take you around the world to

479
00:19:09,950 --> 00:19:08,640
show you how people are marking this

480
00:19:11,630 --> 00:19:09,960
historic mission

481
00:19:13,010 --> 00:19:11,640
and Kayla and I will also take your

482
00:19:15,350 --> 00:19:13,020
questions live you can send those our

483
00:19:17,210 --> 00:19:15,360
way by using the hashtag Artemis we

484
00:19:18,710 --> 00:19:17,220
already have some questions from some

485
00:19:20,990 --> 00:19:18,720
celebrities I know you're gonna love

486
00:19:22,490 --> 00:19:21,000
Facebook questions so you're gonna have

487
00:19:24,710 --> 00:19:22,500
to keep watching to find out who sent

488
00:19:26,930 --> 00:19:24,720
those in and we also invite you to share

489
00:19:29,750 --> 00:19:26,940
your moon inspired content using the

490
00:19:31,370 --> 00:19:29,760
hashtag NASA Moon snap here's a sample

491
00:19:32,930 --> 00:19:31,380
of some that's already been sent in this

492
00:19:34,250 --> 00:19:32,940
one's beautiful the flower and the

493
00:19:36,289 --> 00:19:34,260
foreground there

494
00:19:39,890 --> 00:19:36,299
um the the moon and the background

495
00:19:43,370 --> 00:19:41,630
here's an awesome one it looks like we

496
00:19:45,650 --> 00:19:43,380
have an eagle here flying over the moon

497
00:19:48,289 --> 00:19:45,660
oh just beautiful it's been really cool

498
00:19:49,730 --> 00:19:48,299
to see all these artistic submissions oh

499
00:19:51,650 --> 00:19:49,740
yeah really creative and we're going to

500
00:19:54,310 --> 00:19:51,660
compile as many as we can and and show

501
00:19:56,930 --> 00:19:54,320
them later on the broadcast

502
00:19:58,250 --> 00:19:56,940
now let's check back in with Daryl we do

503
00:19:59,630 --> 00:19:58,260
like to check in with him as much as

504
00:20:00,890 --> 00:19:59,640
possible to see if we can get any

505
00:20:03,110 --> 00:20:00,900
updates from the launch Team go ahead

506
00:20:07,130 --> 00:20:03,120
Daryl yeah Megan we just saw the red

507
00:20:08,930 --> 00:20:07,140
team give a thumbs up to the camera

508
00:20:10,970 --> 00:20:08,940
um as they are doing their work out at

509
00:20:13,250 --> 00:20:10,980
the launch pad currently they're

510
00:20:16,130 --> 00:20:13,260
torquing down some bolts to the

511
00:20:18,409 --> 00:20:16,140
specification required in order to try

512
00:20:20,810 --> 00:20:18,419
and stop uh what has been described as

513
00:20:22,970 --> 00:20:20,820
an intermittent hydrogen leak in the

514
00:20:27,049 --> 00:20:22,980
area it went above the one percent

515
00:20:30,110 --> 00:20:27,059
threshold and so that is a violation uh

516
00:20:32,510 --> 00:20:30,120
of the Haz gas limit in that area the

517
00:20:34,850 --> 00:20:32,520
team continuing to work as you look at

518
00:20:37,250 --> 00:20:34,860
the rocket on the pad

519
00:20:38,630 --> 00:20:37,260
they were called out to the pad about a

520
00:20:41,150 --> 00:20:38,640
half hour ago

521
00:20:42,049 --> 00:20:41,160
and uh they appeared to be making their

522
00:20:44,750 --> 00:20:42,059
way

523
00:20:46,190 --> 00:20:44,760
at least have stepped back back from the

524
00:20:48,529 --> 00:20:46,200
area of work

525
00:20:50,870 --> 00:20:48,539
uh the way that the workflow has been

526
00:20:52,970 --> 00:20:50,880
going is they uh torque down the bolts

527
00:20:55,310 --> 00:20:52,980
step back a little bit

528
00:20:57,350 --> 00:20:55,320
the launch Team then Cycles the valves

529
00:21:00,169 --> 00:20:57,360
to check to see if the leak is still

530
00:21:01,669 --> 00:21:00,179
there and then they come back in

531
00:21:05,510 --> 00:21:01,679
and this has happened a couple of times

532
00:21:08,510 --> 00:21:05,520
and start torquing the bolts again

533
00:21:11,150 --> 00:21:08,520
the rocket was nearly fully tanked the

534
00:21:14,750 --> 00:21:11,160
core stage was in replenish for both

535
00:21:16,970 --> 00:21:14,760
hydrogen and oxygen

536
00:21:19,610 --> 00:21:16,980
the upper stage had nearly been finished

537
00:21:22,490 --> 00:21:19,620
when the leak was detected

538
00:21:25,250 --> 00:21:22,500
and the countdown

539
00:21:28,370 --> 00:21:25,260
though it is continuing the rocket uh

540
00:21:32,990 --> 00:21:28,380
the leak had to be addressed in order

541
00:21:35,870 --> 00:21:33,000
for the launch to proceed

542
00:21:39,110 --> 00:21:35,880
the replenish puts the

543
00:21:41,930 --> 00:21:39,120
hydrogen back into the tank after it

544
00:21:44,930 --> 00:21:41,940
boils off and So currently we're in a

545
00:21:47,630 --> 00:21:44,940
stop flow which no longer longer allows

546
00:21:50,750 --> 00:21:47,640
a replenishment of the hydrogen tank and

547
00:21:53,450 --> 00:21:50,760
that would not allow us to have a launch

548
00:21:55,730 --> 00:21:53,460
without those tanks being in total

549
00:21:59,510 --> 00:21:55,740
replenish and also in a vented

550
00:22:01,010 --> 00:21:59,520
configuration which has also been put on

551
00:22:03,430 --> 00:22:01,020
hold I'm sorry not a vented

552
00:22:06,350 --> 00:22:03,440
configuration but rather an engine bleed

553
00:22:08,450 --> 00:22:06,360
has been stopped and so that would need

554
00:22:11,510 --> 00:22:08,460
to continue as well in order to get the

555
00:22:14,090 --> 00:22:11,520
engines conditioned for launch that's

556
00:22:15,830 --> 00:22:14,100
the latest here from firing room one at

557
00:22:18,230 --> 00:22:15,840
the launch control center Megan we'll

558
00:22:21,289 --> 00:22:18,240
send it back to you thank you Daryl one

559
00:22:24,110 --> 00:22:21,299
hour 41 minutes until again the uh

560
00:22:26,570 --> 00:22:24,120
planned the start of the two hour launch

561
00:22:28,730 --> 00:22:26,580
window uh right now let's head over to

562
00:22:30,529 --> 00:22:28,740
the Apollo Saturn V Center at Kennedy

563
00:22:33,590 --> 00:22:30,539
Space Center's visitor complex where

564
00:22:35,390 --> 00:22:33,600
NASA's Dan Hewitt is just inside in

565
00:22:37,130 --> 00:22:35,400
front of a Saturn V rocket which is the

566
00:22:39,110 --> 00:22:37,140
only vehicle to date to carry humans

567
00:22:41,450 --> 00:22:39,120
Beyond low earth orbit he's going to

568
00:22:44,330 --> 00:22:41,460
show us what uh he has behind us there

569
00:22:46,130 --> 00:22:44,340
the moon board it's an interactive tool

570
00:22:48,230 --> 00:22:46,140
yeah thanks Megan and welcome everybody

571
00:22:49,970 --> 00:22:48,240
we're in the Saturn 5 Center fitting

572
00:22:51,529 --> 00:22:49,980
that the rocket that carried astronauts

573
00:22:53,330 --> 00:22:51,539
the moon of Apollos just over our

574
00:22:54,710 --> 00:22:53,340
shoulder as we meet the rocket that's

575
00:22:57,470 --> 00:22:54,720
going to do it with the Next Generation

576
00:22:59,090 --> 00:22:57,480
under Artemis so SLS the space launch

577
00:23:01,010 --> 00:22:59,100
system is out on the pad right now it's

578
00:23:02,690 --> 00:23:01,020
on the mobile launcher before we jump

579
00:23:04,610 --> 00:23:02,700
into that just to give you some

580
00:23:06,169 --> 00:23:04,620
perspective so that valve that Daryl's

581
00:23:08,090 --> 00:23:06,179
been talking about is in the base

582
00:23:10,610 --> 00:23:08,100
section of this mobile launcher down

583
00:23:12,830 --> 00:23:10,620
here that's different from the areas we

584
00:23:16,250 --> 00:23:12,840
were focused on in August and September

585
00:23:18,110 --> 00:23:16,260
in these 33 foot tall tale service Mast

586
00:23:21,289 --> 00:23:18,120
umbilicals that are delivering the

587
00:23:23,750 --> 00:23:21,299
hydrogen and oxygen to the core stage of

588
00:23:26,510 --> 00:23:23,760
SLS but let's Jump Right In

589
00:23:27,830 --> 00:23:26,520
a couple of key components to SLS we're

590
00:23:29,510 --> 00:23:27,840
going to start here on the sides with

591
00:23:31,490 --> 00:23:29,520
the solid rocket boosters if they look

592
00:23:33,470 --> 00:23:31,500
familiar they're derived from those that

593
00:23:34,909 --> 00:23:33,480
flew the space shuttle in fact some of

594
00:23:37,070 --> 00:23:34,919
the segments of these boosters today

595
00:23:39,289 --> 00:23:37,080
were flown on previous space shuttle

596
00:23:41,090 --> 00:23:39,299
missions we call them solids because of

597
00:23:42,950 --> 00:23:41,100
the type of propellant inside if you

598
00:23:45,169 --> 00:23:42,960
were able to look in you would see a mix

599
00:23:47,750 --> 00:23:45,179
of ammonium perchlorate aluminum powder

600
00:23:49,250 --> 00:23:47,760
and a binding agent called polybutadine

601
00:23:52,010 --> 00:23:49,260
acrylonitrile that your expert

602
00:23:53,690 --> 00:23:52,020
vocabulary word for the day now as these

603
00:23:56,090 --> 00:23:53,700
are firing they're providing more than

604
00:23:58,610 --> 00:23:56,100
90 percent of the steering and 75

605
00:24:01,730 --> 00:23:58,620
percent of the thrust as SLS makes its

606
00:24:04,549 --> 00:24:01,740
way uphill and those are attached to the

607
00:24:05,930 --> 00:24:04,559
core stage 212 feet tall five major

608
00:24:08,990 --> 00:24:05,940
sections we're going to start the fun

609
00:24:11,210 --> 00:24:09,000
part down here on the bottom four rs-25

610
00:24:13,250 --> 00:24:11,220
engines again derived from those that

611
00:24:15,289 --> 00:24:13,260
flew the space shuttle in addition we

612
00:24:17,090 --> 00:24:15,299
have this core engine section here where

613
00:24:19,190 --> 00:24:17,100
we have all of their necessary Plumbing

614
00:24:21,590 --> 00:24:19,200
also the connection points where we're

615
00:24:23,690 --> 00:24:21,600
feeding the propellants into the core

616
00:24:26,390 --> 00:24:23,700
stage itself and as these are firing

617
00:24:28,070 --> 00:24:26,400
each one providing up to half a million

618
00:24:30,890 --> 00:24:28,080
pounds of thrust during operation

619
00:24:34,549 --> 00:24:30,900
consuming 1500 gallons of propellant

620
00:24:37,190 --> 00:24:34,559
every second as they go uphill now these

621
00:24:39,529 --> 00:24:37,200
are liquid rocket engines which means

622
00:24:41,630 --> 00:24:39,539
you need a fuel about half a million

623
00:24:44,390 --> 00:24:41,640
gallons of liquid hydrogen and an

624
00:24:46,370 --> 00:24:44,400
oxidizer about 200 000 of liquid oxygen

625
00:24:47,930 --> 00:24:46,380
up here that hydrogen gets fed through

626
00:24:50,510 --> 00:24:47,940
feed lines down at the bottom of the

627
00:24:52,909 --> 00:24:50,520
tank here the oxygen coming from these

628
00:24:55,310 --> 00:24:52,919
two feed lines you see running down out

629
00:24:56,870 --> 00:24:55,320
of this the intertank section the inner

630
00:24:58,730 --> 00:24:56,880
tank also has the upper attachment

631
00:25:01,130 --> 00:24:58,740
points for the solid rocket boosters the

632
00:25:03,230 --> 00:25:01,140
bottom attacks attaches down here at the

633
00:25:04,909 --> 00:25:03,240
engine block now all the way up top we

634
00:25:07,130 --> 00:25:04,919
have the forward skirt it's where you

635
00:25:09,470 --> 00:25:07,140
have your core avionics your brains for

636
00:25:11,870 --> 00:25:09,480
flying SLS as well as connections to the

637
00:25:14,810 --> 00:25:11,880
mobile launcher and some antennas and if

638
00:25:17,029 --> 00:25:14,820
we zoom in why does it look all bumpy we

639
00:25:20,090 --> 00:25:17,039
have a spray-on insulation on the core

640
00:25:22,130 --> 00:25:20,100
stage these propellants are stored at

641
00:25:24,710 --> 00:25:22,140
cryogenic temperatures hundreds of

642
00:25:26,149 --> 00:25:24,720
degrees below zero fahrenheit and so we

643
00:25:28,730 --> 00:25:26,159
have to try and keep them as cold as

644
00:25:31,310 --> 00:25:28,740
possible now underneath this upper skirt

645
00:25:34,850 --> 00:25:31,320
we have the second stage the interim

646
00:25:36,649 --> 00:25:34,860
cryogenic propulsion stage or icps this

647
00:25:38,930 --> 00:25:36,659
is a modified upper stage from the Delta

648
00:25:40,130 --> 00:25:38,940
IV family of rockets from United launch

649
00:25:43,610 --> 00:25:40,140
Alliance

650
00:25:45,649 --> 00:25:43,620
single rl-10b-2 engine also propelled by

651
00:25:47,450 --> 00:25:45,659
liquid hydrogen liquid oxygen this is

652
00:25:49,730 --> 00:25:47,460
used for our in-space propulsion

653
00:25:51,289 --> 00:25:49,740
Maneuvers critically that translunar

654
00:25:53,510 --> 00:25:51,299
injection which is going to give us the

655
00:25:56,090 --> 00:25:53,520
energy to go beyond low earth orbit and

656
00:25:57,769 --> 00:25:56,100
head out to the Moon all together that's

657
00:25:59,570 --> 00:25:57,779
the space launch system it's going to be

658
00:26:02,029 --> 00:25:59,580
making its first flight hopefully today

659
00:26:03,529 --> 00:26:02,039
it's going to be a heck of a show let's

660
00:26:04,789 --> 00:26:03,539
get back to the countdown I'll send it

661
00:26:07,610 --> 00:26:04,799
over to you Megan

662
00:26:09,110 --> 00:26:07,620
thanks Dan one hour 37 minutes and

663
00:26:11,149 --> 00:26:09,120
Counting until our two hour launch

664
00:26:12,710 --> 00:26:11,159
window opens tonight the space launch

665
00:26:14,870 --> 00:26:12,720
system rocket and Orion spacecraft

666
00:26:17,810 --> 00:26:14,880
together standing just taller than the

667
00:26:19,490 --> 00:26:17,820
Statue of Liberty at launch pad 39b it's

668
00:26:21,950 --> 00:26:19,500
the culmination of years of development

669
00:26:24,289 --> 00:26:21,960
and thousands of tests here's a look at

670
00:26:26,450 --> 00:26:24,299
its path to the pad

671
00:26:28,130 --> 00:26:26,460
the space launch system is really the

672
00:26:31,310 --> 00:26:28,140
backbone of the Artemis missions it's

673
00:26:35,210 --> 00:26:31,320
the truck it's the big carry vehicle

674
00:26:37,430 --> 00:26:35,220
it allows us to carry both crew as well

675
00:26:40,070 --> 00:26:37,440
as the equipment that we need to live

676
00:26:42,769 --> 00:26:40,080
and work on the moon

677
00:26:45,289 --> 00:26:42,779
60 years ago NASA was in a race to get

678
00:26:47,090 --> 00:26:45,299
to the moon this time is more than just

679
00:26:48,789 --> 00:26:47,100
a race it's about establishing a

680
00:26:51,470 --> 00:26:48,799
long-term presence can you imagine

681
00:26:54,190 --> 00:26:51,480
rolling the Statue of Liberty out to put

682
00:26:57,230 --> 00:26:54,200
at the pad that's what we're doing

683
00:26:59,149 --> 00:26:57,240
it will lift up from Earth with more

684
00:27:00,970 --> 00:26:59,159
power than the Saturn Vibe which was the

685
00:27:05,050 --> 00:27:00,980
first vehicle to take us

686
00:27:11,570 --> 00:27:05,060
Artemis is our next giant League

687
00:27:16,070 --> 00:27:13,549
the difference between the Apollo

688
00:27:18,169 --> 00:27:16,080
program and the Artemis program is

689
00:27:20,510 --> 00:27:18,179
really the focus on sustainability and

690
00:27:21,970 --> 00:27:20,520
using the moon as an outpost for further

691
00:27:25,250 --> 00:27:21,980
exploration

692
00:27:29,470 --> 00:27:25,260
this time we're going back to learn how

693
00:27:33,890 --> 00:27:31,789
the space launch system really is the

694
00:27:36,490 --> 00:27:33,900
culmination of our knowledge for 60

695
00:27:40,130 --> 00:27:36,500
years of building Rockets

696
00:27:43,130 --> 00:27:40,140
we started by looking at over 1700

697
00:27:46,370 --> 00:27:43,140
different potential components that

698
00:27:48,590 --> 00:27:46,380
would go into the rocket and by looking

699
00:27:50,630 --> 00:27:48,600
at the way we could reuse some of the

700
00:27:52,850 --> 00:27:50,640
most reliable equipment that was flown

701
00:27:56,210 --> 00:27:52,860
on the shuttle we took those and we put

702
00:27:59,210 --> 00:27:56,220
them together into a system that had

703
00:28:00,590 --> 00:27:59,220
enough energy to make sense to do the

704
00:28:04,370 --> 00:28:00,600
mission that we've been asked to do

705
00:28:06,230 --> 00:28:04,380
we're moving from low earth orbit like

706
00:28:09,049 --> 00:28:06,240
you see in the International Space

707
00:28:11,130 --> 00:28:09,059
Station today to moving beyond that to

708
00:28:12,350 --> 00:28:11,140
taking the next step in Exploration

709
00:28:14,930 --> 00:28:12,360
[Music]

710
00:28:18,230 --> 00:28:14,940
it's 322 feet tall

711
00:28:20,810 --> 00:28:18,240
it's got 700 000 gallons of cryogenic

712
00:28:24,110 --> 00:28:20,820
propellant in the core stage alone

713
00:28:26,990 --> 00:28:24,120
it can produce 8.8 million pounds of

714
00:28:29,269 --> 00:28:27,000
vacuum thrust the space launch system is

715
00:28:31,549 --> 00:28:29,279
really a national rocket a National

716
00:28:34,010 --> 00:28:31,559
Asset too we have worked with

717
00:28:36,110 --> 00:28:34,020
contractors as well as with our NASA

718
00:28:37,909 --> 00:28:36,120
experts our science and engineering

719
00:28:40,250 --> 00:28:37,919
department our safety and Mission

720
00:28:43,010 --> 00:28:40,260
Assurance team to get the space launch

721
00:28:45,110 --> 00:28:43,020
system designed developed and produced

722
00:28:48,830 --> 00:28:45,120
it has taken thousands of companies

723
00:28:51,470 --> 00:28:48,840
across the country it comes together by

724
00:28:53,330 --> 00:28:51,480
train it comes together by plane comes

725
00:28:55,250 --> 00:28:53,340
together by barges so all of that

726
00:28:57,350 --> 00:28:55,260
culminates at the Kennedy Space Center

727
00:28:59,750 --> 00:28:57,360
for the launch of the first Artemis

728
00:29:01,669 --> 00:28:59,760
Mission everybody has worked together to

729
00:29:02,990 --> 00:29:01,679
ensure that we have a safe and reliable

730
00:29:06,830 --> 00:29:03,000
rocket

731
00:29:09,230 --> 00:29:06,840
at Nasa safety and testing is extremely

732
00:29:11,149 --> 00:29:09,240
important because ultimately this rocket

733
00:29:13,549 --> 00:29:11,159
isn't meant just to carry cargo it's

734
00:29:16,130 --> 00:29:13,559
meant to carry people

735
00:29:18,830 --> 00:29:16,140
all types of Education all types of

736
00:29:21,049 --> 00:29:18,840
backgrounds all types of diversity to do

737
00:29:23,990 --> 00:29:21,059
the things we do and it'll be great to

738
00:29:25,850 --> 00:29:24,000
see a diverse crew land on the moon

739
00:29:27,710 --> 00:29:25,860
where the space launch system comes in

740
00:29:30,289 --> 00:29:27,720
is providing that reliable

741
00:29:32,210 --> 00:29:30,299
transportation so that we can start

742
00:29:35,570 --> 00:29:32,220
flying these rockets on a routine basis

743
00:29:38,029 --> 00:29:35,580
to take people and to take payload to

744
00:29:40,610 --> 00:29:38,039
that Outpost the moon and also the

745
00:29:43,010 --> 00:29:40,620
Gateway system you have a generation

746
00:29:44,510 --> 00:29:43,020
who've never seen deep space exploration

747
00:29:46,310 --> 00:29:44,520
and this will give them an opportunity

748
00:29:48,830 --> 00:29:46,320
to see that this is something that they

749
00:29:50,750 --> 00:29:48,840
can potentially do themselves it's going

750
00:29:52,490 --> 00:29:50,760
to be a paradigm shift for NASA we're

751
00:29:59,630 --> 00:29:52,500
going to be back to looking at things

752
00:30:03,590 --> 00:30:01,610
a lot to look forward to and it all

753
00:30:05,389 --> 00:30:03,600
begins with lunch afterwards our friends

754
00:30:07,250 --> 00:30:05,399
at Johnson Space Center in Houston will

755
00:30:08,690 --> 00:30:07,260
control Orion once it's on its way to

756
00:30:10,310 --> 00:30:08,700
the Moon let's get an update of

757
00:30:13,630 --> 00:30:10,320
operations there with NASA's Leah

758
00:30:17,930 --> 00:30:16,010
thanks Megan and welcome to Mission

759
00:30:19,970 --> 00:30:17,940
Control Houston home of the Red White

760
00:30:21,470 --> 00:30:19,980
and Blue flight control rooms but today

761
00:30:23,149 --> 00:30:21,480
we're in the white flight control room

762
00:30:24,649 --> 00:30:23,159
which is just across the hall from where

763
00:30:27,230 --> 00:30:24,659
you usually see us in the International

764
00:30:28,970 --> 00:30:27,240
Space Station flight control room like

765
00:30:31,310 --> 00:30:28,980
this morning when we conducted a

766
00:30:32,990 --> 00:30:31,320
spacewalk outside the space station now

767
00:30:34,789 --> 00:30:33,000
this white flight control room has been

768
00:30:36,769 --> 00:30:34,799
used before during some space station

769
00:30:39,049 --> 00:30:36,779
missions plus commanding Boeing

770
00:30:40,549 --> 00:30:39,059
Starliner previously this room was used

771
00:30:43,370 --> 00:30:40,559
for space shuttle missions and was

772
00:30:45,289 --> 00:30:43,380
renovated in 2014 to support our use

773
00:30:47,630 --> 00:30:45,299
with the Artemis program

774
00:30:50,149 --> 00:30:47,640
today's flight director is Judd frieling

775
00:30:52,010 --> 00:30:50,159
of flight director of 11 years who will

776
00:30:54,409 --> 00:30:52,020
lead the team through the ascent portion

777
00:30:56,330 --> 00:30:54,419
of the mission after feeling shift today

778
00:30:57,590 --> 00:30:56,340
flight director Rick Le broad will lead

779
00:30:59,990 --> 00:30:57,600
the team through the rest of the mission

780
00:31:01,909 --> 00:31:00,000
all the way to entry and Splashdown when

781
00:31:03,769 --> 00:31:01,919
freeling will step in again

782
00:31:05,510 --> 00:31:03,779
other console members will be monitoring

783
00:31:07,909 --> 00:31:05,520
the various systems on Orion like

784
00:31:10,190 --> 00:31:07,919
propulsion solar arrays and trajectory

785
00:31:12,529 --> 00:31:10,200
and they arrived on Console about five

786
00:31:14,269 --> 00:31:12,539
hours ago and you might also be

787
00:31:16,610 --> 00:31:14,279
surprised to learn that there is indeed

788
00:31:18,830 --> 00:31:16,620
a Capcom or capsule communicator on

789
00:31:20,630 --> 00:31:18,840
Console today as well while there are no

790
00:31:23,210 --> 00:31:20,640
crew on board J marshky and other

791
00:31:25,190 --> 00:31:23,220
capsule caps capsule communicators will

792
00:31:27,830 --> 00:31:25,200
be training throughout the mission in

793
00:31:29,690 --> 00:31:27,840
preparation for Artemis 2 and Beyond the

794
00:31:31,549 --> 00:31:29,700
Capcom is the single person in the room

795
00:31:33,350 --> 00:31:31,559
who speaks with the crew Gathering info

796
00:31:34,850 --> 00:31:33,360
from Mission Control team and keeping

797
00:31:37,250 --> 00:31:34,860
streamlined communication with the

798
00:31:39,049 --> 00:31:37,260
astronauts in space we're counting down

799
00:31:40,789 --> 00:31:39,059
to lift off when teams here will really

800
00:31:43,070 --> 00:31:40,799
jump into action and monitor the first

801
00:31:45,169 --> 00:31:43,080
Artemis flight sending Orion further

802
00:31:47,630 --> 00:31:45,179
than any crew-rated spacecraft has gone

803
00:31:49,130 --> 00:31:47,640
before but for now Megan and Kayla will

804
00:31:50,570 --> 00:31:49,140
send it back to you at Kennedy Space

805
00:31:52,549 --> 00:31:50,580
Center to keep walking us through the

806
00:31:54,110 --> 00:31:52,559
events of the day well you just heard

807
00:31:56,570 --> 00:31:54,120
Leah remind us that no one is inside

808
00:31:58,909 --> 00:31:56,580
Orion today again it's because Artemis

809
00:32:01,370 --> 00:31:58,919
one is a flight test to prove we can

810
00:32:03,830 --> 00:32:01,380
safely return crew from lunar orbit on

811
00:32:05,630 --> 00:32:03,840
Artemis 2 and when we launched the first

812
00:32:07,250 --> 00:32:05,640
crude mission NASA has a very diverse

813
00:32:09,409 --> 00:32:07,260
and talented core to choose from

814
00:32:11,090 --> 00:32:09,419
including Kayla here uh we're looking at

815
00:32:13,310 --> 00:32:11,100
video now some of your friends who got

816
00:32:15,590 --> 00:32:13,320
to go to the pad

817
00:32:17,149 --> 00:32:15,600
that looks fun yeah it's always so

818
00:32:18,649 --> 00:32:17,159
exciting to see the rocket on the pad

819
00:32:21,649 --> 00:32:18,659
because you know you're getting close to

820
00:32:23,690 --> 00:32:21,659
launch so we're all just really excited

821
00:32:24,830 --> 00:32:23,700
to see how this test goes today I wish I

822
00:32:25,909 --> 00:32:24,840
could have gone out there with them you

823
00:32:29,090 --> 00:32:25,919
and me what happened we didn't get our

824
00:32:30,529 --> 00:32:29,100
invite and I thought this was fun too as

825
00:32:33,350 --> 00:32:30,539
some of your friends also got to fly

826
00:32:35,389 --> 00:32:33,360
over the pad in t-38s here's video of

827
00:32:37,190 --> 00:32:35,399
that now Incredible video so these

828
00:32:39,529 --> 00:32:37,200
flyovers were common during shuttle

829
00:32:41,870 --> 00:32:39,539
right yeah and we still try to do them

830
00:32:44,450 --> 00:32:41,880
whenever we can we actually use the t-38

831
00:32:46,190 --> 00:32:44,460
jet as a training platform it's a chance

832
00:32:47,990 --> 00:32:46,200
for us to practice making real world

833
00:32:50,630 --> 00:32:48,000
decisions in a high-risk environment

834
00:32:52,970 --> 00:32:50,640
practice working as a team in a good

835
00:32:54,950 --> 00:32:52,980
analog for space flight okay but we also

836
00:32:56,570 --> 00:32:54,960
like to fly by the pad when we can when

837
00:32:58,370 --> 00:32:56,580
we have a rocket out there it's a way of

838
00:32:59,810 --> 00:32:58,380
saluting and thanking the team for all

839
00:33:02,029 --> 00:32:59,820
the work it took to get to this moment

840
00:33:03,409 --> 00:33:02,039
that's great yeah a worthwhile thing to

841
00:33:04,970 --> 00:33:03,419
do because yes the team has worked so

842
00:33:06,769 --> 00:33:04,980
hard to get to this moment and you spoke

843
00:33:09,710 --> 00:33:06,779
about training has training already

844
00:33:11,750 --> 00:33:09,720
started for Artemis 2 for you guys we're

845
00:33:13,789 --> 00:33:11,760
we've been developing the training but

846
00:33:15,830 --> 00:33:13,799
the crews aren't assigned yet so they're

847
00:33:17,630 --> 00:33:15,840
not in dedicated training flows yet but

848
00:33:19,430 --> 00:33:17,640
our team at Johnson Space Center where

849
00:33:21,049 --> 00:33:19,440
we train for human space flight are

850
00:33:22,430 --> 00:33:21,059
working on all of the things that we're

851
00:33:24,649 --> 00:33:22,440
going to need to teach the crew and the

852
00:33:26,149 --> 00:33:24,659
best ways to go about that once we get

853
00:33:28,009 --> 00:33:26,159
that crew assigned they'll be straight

854
00:33:30,049 --> 00:33:28,019
into training right up until launch day

855
00:33:32,090 --> 00:33:30,059
awesome cool cool all right I can't wait

856
00:33:33,889 --> 00:33:32,100
to hear who gets assigned and the

857
00:33:35,570 --> 00:33:33,899
absence of crew today doesn't mean Orion

858
00:33:37,730 --> 00:33:35,580
is empty there are plenty of other

859
00:33:39,470 --> 00:33:37,740
interesting things flying on Artemis one

860
00:33:41,090 --> 00:33:39,480
including several technology

861
00:33:42,409 --> 00:33:41,100
demonstrations and science

862
00:33:44,269 --> 00:33:42,419
investigations we're going to show you

863
00:33:46,909 --> 00:33:44,279
throughout the broadcast there are also

864
00:33:48,830 --> 00:33:46,919
some mementos like these seeds that we

865
00:33:50,630 --> 00:33:48,840
have right here right Kayla yeah we have

866
00:33:52,130 --> 00:33:50,640
an example of the Moon seeds that will

867
00:33:53,630 --> 00:33:52,140
be flying as part of this Mission today

868
00:33:56,389 --> 00:33:53,640
and the idea actually comes from an

869
00:33:58,009 --> 00:33:56,399
Apollo 14 astronaut Stuart Russa who

870
00:33:59,269 --> 00:33:58,019
flew seeds with him to the Moon hundreds

871
00:34:00,950 --> 00:33:59,279
of them and then brought them back to

872
00:34:02,330 --> 00:34:00,960
Earth and then they were planted all

873
00:34:04,130 --> 00:34:02,340
over the country in the world and

874
00:34:06,769 --> 00:34:04,140
they're called Moon trees and so we're

875
00:34:08,869 --> 00:34:06,779
kind of carrying on with that idea on

876
00:34:10,550 --> 00:34:08,879
Orion for this launch yeah I love that

877
00:34:11,869 --> 00:34:10,560
and the the seeds that are flying on

878
00:34:14,270 --> 00:34:11,879
Artemis one is going to come back and

879
00:34:15,770 --> 00:34:14,280
they're going to distribute it uh to a

880
00:34:17,869 --> 00:34:15,780
number of organizations through NASA

881
00:34:20,629 --> 00:34:17,879
stem program so it's really a neat idea

882
00:34:22,430 --> 00:34:20,639
and so these Moon seeds are part of

883
00:34:25,669 --> 00:34:22,440
what's inside Artemis one's official

884
00:34:28,430 --> 00:34:25,679
flight kit along with more than 10 000

885
00:34:30,589 --> 00:34:28,440
other mementos like this Artemis this

886
00:34:33,770 --> 00:34:30,599
Apollo 8 commemorative metal you see

887
00:34:36,589 --> 00:34:33,780
here a nod to 1968 when humans first

888
00:34:39,889 --> 00:34:36,599
orbited the moon and a bolt from Apollo

889
00:34:42,109 --> 00:34:39,899
11 1969 when humans first landed on the

890
00:34:44,089 --> 00:34:42,119
moon those items are on loan to us from

891
00:34:45,950 --> 00:34:44,099
the National Air and Space Museum and

892
00:34:47,450 --> 00:34:45,960
once back on Earth will be exhibited

893
00:34:49,790 --> 00:34:47,460
there so you can check them out

894
00:34:51,649 --> 00:34:49,800
there are also a variety of flags pins

895
00:34:53,750 --> 00:34:51,659
and patches like these Artemis one

896
00:34:56,270 --> 00:34:53,760
patches that will be distributed to

897
00:34:58,250 --> 00:34:56,280
people who contributed to this flight

898
00:34:59,810 --> 00:34:58,260
now NASA spacecraft both crude and

899
00:35:02,570 --> 00:34:59,820
uncrewed have carried mementos like

900
00:35:04,370 --> 00:35:02,580
these since the 1960s astronauts are

901
00:35:06,050 --> 00:35:04,380
also allowed their own personal flight

902
00:35:08,870 --> 00:35:06,060
kit so I was wondering what did you

903
00:35:09,770 --> 00:35:08,880
bring with you for your crew 3 mission

904
00:35:11,630 --> 00:35:09,780
um I actually brought a couple of

905
00:35:12,950 --> 00:35:11,640
examples to show you the moon suits

906
00:35:14,930 --> 00:35:12,960
inspired me to share that I actually

907
00:35:15,890 --> 00:35:14,940
brought some vegetables oh that's

908
00:35:17,930 --> 00:35:15,900
awesome

909
00:35:19,970 --> 00:35:17,940
um so these are kind of fun they're

910
00:35:22,250 --> 00:35:19,980
Dragon themed so I got dragon carrots

911
00:35:24,770 --> 00:35:22,260
and dragon Bean oh that's I went up on a

912
00:35:25,910 --> 00:35:24,780
SpaceX crew Dragon vehicle sure um and

913
00:35:27,710 --> 00:35:25,920
then of course I think the most

914
00:35:29,450 --> 00:35:27,720
important meeting thing full thing to

915
00:35:31,430 --> 00:35:29,460
all of us is usually pictures of our

916
00:35:34,190 --> 00:35:31,440
family and friends so

917
00:35:36,589 --> 00:35:34,200
um Family yeah me and my family at my

918
00:35:40,930 --> 00:35:36,599
sister's wedding

919
00:35:45,010 --> 00:35:40,940
um friends backpacking in Alberta Canada

920
00:35:47,870 --> 00:35:45,020
and then my my in-laws

921
00:35:49,910 --> 00:35:47,880
together on a family vacation and I also

922
00:35:51,890 --> 00:35:49,920
brought some Flags some American flags

923
00:35:53,990 --> 00:35:51,900
and then United States Navy Flags since

924
00:35:55,970 --> 00:35:54,000
I'm a naval officer so things like that

925
00:35:58,490 --> 00:35:55,980
I think it's just so human to want to

926
00:36:00,890 --> 00:35:58,500
bring stuff with you right souvenirs who

927
00:36:02,690 --> 00:36:00,900
just love that yeah but I think for most

928
00:36:04,370 --> 00:36:02,700
of us yeah pictures of our family and

929
00:36:06,230 --> 00:36:04,380
friends things that connect us back home

930
00:36:07,910 --> 00:36:06,240
are the most important yeah you know six

931
00:36:10,010 --> 00:36:07,920
months might not sound like a long time

932
00:36:12,050 --> 00:36:10,020
for people but it is right wouldn't you

933
00:36:13,550 --> 00:36:12,060
saying you're also so far it's nice to

934
00:36:15,890 --> 00:36:13,560
have those tangible things that remind

935
00:36:17,870 --> 00:36:15,900
you of Home absolutely yeah really

936
00:36:19,069 --> 00:36:17,880
important for us cool cool thank you for

937
00:36:21,230 --> 00:36:19,079
bringing those those are really fun to

938
00:36:23,930 --> 00:36:21,240
look at all right one hour 27 minutes

939
00:36:26,089 --> 00:36:23,940
and Counting until uh launch and we have

940
00:36:28,250 --> 00:36:26,099
our first questions from social media so

941
00:36:30,170 --> 00:36:28,260
let's take a look at the clip here Kayla

942
00:36:32,930 --> 00:36:30,180
you're going to notice a familiar um

943
00:36:34,790 --> 00:36:32,940
handsome face

944
00:36:36,589 --> 00:36:34,800
hey there I'm Chris Evans and I play

945
00:36:38,870 --> 00:36:36,599
Buzz Lightyear and Pixar's light year

946
00:36:40,910 --> 00:36:38,880
movie I was wondering when we fly future

947
00:36:42,710 --> 00:36:40,920
Artemis missions with astronauts how

948
00:36:44,450 --> 00:36:42,720
many people can fly on board the Orion

949
00:36:46,550 --> 00:36:44,460
capsule at once

950
00:36:48,650 --> 00:36:46,560
my nephew's probably asleep but he's a

951
00:36:50,450 --> 00:36:48,660
big mudslayer fan so he's probably gonna

952
00:36:52,970 --> 00:36:50,460
enjoy watching that question tomorrow

953
00:36:56,150 --> 00:36:52,980
but we can get four astronauts in the

954
00:36:57,290 --> 00:36:56,160
Orion Space Capsule it's about it's a

955
00:36:59,210 --> 00:36:57,300
little bit bigger than the Apollo Castle

956
00:37:01,490 --> 00:36:59,220
about 30 percent more habitable volume

957
00:37:03,050 --> 00:37:01,500
and so instead of supporting three crew

958
00:37:05,450 --> 00:37:03,060
for about two weeks Orion can support

959
00:37:07,550 --> 00:37:05,460
four crew for about 21 days okay good

960
00:37:09,710 --> 00:37:07,560
good first question let's take a second

961
00:37:13,210 --> 00:37:09,720
question now

962
00:37:15,470 --> 00:37:13,220
can a microbiologist be an astronaut

963
00:37:17,990 --> 00:37:15,480
absolutely I already have

964
00:37:20,569 --> 00:37:18,000
microbiologists who are astronauts like

965
00:37:23,089 --> 00:37:20,579
my training classmate Xena Cardman

966
00:37:24,829 --> 00:37:23,099
um so yeah we we hire people from all

967
00:37:27,109 --> 00:37:24,839
sorts of different backgrounds all you

968
00:37:29,510 --> 00:37:27,119
have to do is have a stem degree beyond

969
00:37:31,310 --> 00:37:29,520
that you you can come from any pathway

970
00:37:32,990 --> 00:37:31,320
so some of us are military astronauts

971
00:37:34,849 --> 00:37:33,000
like me either Aviation or I'm a

972
00:37:36,170 --> 00:37:34,859
Submariner but we have a ton of people

973
00:37:37,550 --> 00:37:36,180
from different scientific and

974
00:37:40,010 --> 00:37:37,560
Engineering communities including

975
00:37:42,170 --> 00:37:40,020
microbiologists yeah I love that it's so

976
00:37:45,410 --> 00:37:42,180
diverse because I think diversity really

977
00:37:47,329 --> 00:37:45,420
adds to to what you guys can do yeah and

978
00:37:48,950 --> 00:37:47,339
those unique perspectives I think make

979
00:37:50,750 --> 00:37:48,960
us stronger as a team whenever we're

980
00:37:52,730 --> 00:37:50,760
tackling a new problem having people

981
00:37:54,589 --> 00:37:52,740
with different not only academic

982
00:37:56,089 --> 00:37:54,599
backgrounds but the all of these

983
00:37:58,310 --> 00:37:56,099
scientists A lot of them have different

984
00:37:59,690 --> 00:37:58,320
field experience so like Xena worked in

985
00:38:02,089 --> 00:37:59,700
some really extreme environments in

986
00:38:04,190 --> 00:38:02,099
Antarctica in caves doing a lot of her

987
00:38:05,690 --> 00:38:04,200
research so it's not that different than

988
00:38:07,849 --> 00:38:05,700
what we're hoping to do at the South

989
00:38:10,069 --> 00:38:07,859
Pole of the moon so these perspectives

990
00:38:12,349 --> 00:38:10,079
are really important for us to

991
00:38:14,030 --> 00:38:12,359
form the best team that we can yeah

992
00:38:15,710 --> 00:38:14,040
that's interesting all right I think we

993
00:38:18,530 --> 00:38:15,720
have time for one more question so why

994
00:38:21,230 --> 00:38:18,540
don't we pull one up what is the coolest

995
00:38:23,390 --> 00:38:21,240
part about Artemis to you

996
00:38:26,450 --> 00:38:23,400
I mean I think I can't even quite get my

997
00:38:28,730 --> 00:38:26,460
head around how it might feel for the

998
00:38:30,290 --> 00:38:28,740
crew to orbit the Moon on Artemis 2 and

999
00:38:32,210 --> 00:38:30,300
see it up close and then of course on

1000
00:38:34,550 --> 00:38:32,220
Artemis 3 to actually land on the moon

1001
00:38:36,829 --> 00:38:34,560
and conduct a moonwalk it's just going

1002
00:38:38,810 --> 00:38:36,839
to be incredible to have that view back

1003
00:38:40,490 --> 00:38:38,820
of our home planet and so just the

1004
00:38:42,530 --> 00:38:40,500
thought of human sending human beings

1005
00:38:44,150 --> 00:38:42,540
back to the moon it's just super

1006
00:38:45,109 --> 00:38:44,160
exciting for all of us I honestly didn't

1007
00:38:46,790 --> 00:38:45,119
know how you're going to answer that

1008
00:38:48,710 --> 00:38:46,800
because there is so many things to look

1009
00:38:50,450 --> 00:38:48,720
forward to to pinpoint you know the

1010
00:38:51,349 --> 00:38:50,460
thing that you're most excited about I

1011
00:38:54,170 --> 00:38:51,359
thought that was going to be a hard

1012
00:38:56,030 --> 00:38:54,180
question actually all right so great

1013
00:38:57,589 --> 00:38:56,040
questions keep them coming using hashtag

1014
00:38:59,690 --> 00:38:57,599
Artemis wherever you're watching this

1015
00:39:01,849 --> 00:38:59,700
broadcast and keep sending those Moon

1016
00:39:03,829 --> 00:39:01,859
inspired content too again that's

1017
00:39:04,970 --> 00:39:03,839
hashtag NASA Moon snap and we're going

1018
00:39:05,930 --> 00:39:04,980
to show some of them later on the

1019
00:39:08,210 --> 00:39:05,940
broadcast

1020
00:39:10,370 --> 00:39:08,220
okay one hour 24 minutes and Counting

1021
00:39:11,870 --> 00:39:10,380
until hopefully liftoff of Artemis one

1022
00:39:13,490 --> 00:39:11,880
and a time for another update with

1023
00:39:15,650 --> 00:39:13,500
NASA's Daryl nail who's with the launch

1024
00:39:17,750 --> 00:39:15,660
team as they were monitoring a leak

1025
00:39:20,030 --> 00:39:17,760
yeah that's right Megan we're inside uh

1026
00:39:21,770 --> 00:39:20,040
the firing room number one here at the

1027
00:39:24,050 --> 00:39:21,780
launch control center at the Kennedy

1028
00:39:26,150 --> 00:39:24,060
Space Center and uh currently we have an

1029
00:39:29,030 --> 00:39:26,160
update on that red crew which went out

1030
00:39:31,609 --> 00:39:29,040
to the pad to torque down some bolts on

1031
00:39:34,130 --> 00:39:31,619
a leaky hydrogen replenish valve for the

1032
00:39:36,530 --> 00:39:34,140
core stage and that update is that the

1033
00:39:39,829 --> 00:39:36,540
red crew has Departed the blast danger

1034
00:39:42,950 --> 00:39:39,839
area they have completed their work they

1035
00:39:46,849 --> 00:39:42,960
got the go at 10 pm this evening 10 p.m

1036
00:39:50,270 --> 00:39:46,859
eastern time to go out and conduct work

1037
00:39:52,490 --> 00:39:50,280
that took roughly uh an hour from the

1038
00:39:56,150 --> 00:39:52,500
time they were given the go till the

1039
00:39:59,210 --> 00:39:56,160
time they left the blast danger area

1040
00:40:01,730 --> 00:39:59,220
the technicians to technicians and one

1041
00:40:05,210 --> 00:40:01,740
safety representative uh did the work

1042
00:40:07,510 --> 00:40:05,220
out at the pad on the replenish valve

1043
00:40:10,970 --> 00:40:07,520
and now that they are on their way back

1044
00:40:14,089 --> 00:40:10,980
uh the team is now examining uh the work

1045
00:40:17,329 --> 00:40:14,099
and whether or not that uh leak is uh

1046
00:40:20,210 --> 00:40:17,339
still there what we do know is uh you

1047
00:40:23,030 --> 00:40:20,220
may have heard me mention that uh this

1048
00:40:24,170 --> 00:40:23,040
put the liquid hydrogen tank into stop

1049
00:40:27,530 --> 00:40:24,180
flow

1050
00:40:31,069 --> 00:40:27,540
and as a result also stopped a required

1051
00:40:33,710 --> 00:40:31,079
90-minute engine bleed for the liquid

1052
00:40:36,890 --> 00:40:33,720
hydrogen side

1053
00:40:41,150 --> 00:40:36,900
teams have come to the conclusion that

1054
00:40:44,210 --> 00:40:41,160
only a 45-minute bleed is required at

1055
00:40:46,310 --> 00:40:44,220
this point they can resume the bleed at

1056
00:40:48,050 --> 00:40:46,320
the point that they left off

1057
00:40:51,950 --> 00:40:48,060
and it'll be

1058
00:40:53,630 --> 00:40:51,960
um enough to meet that requirement

1059
00:40:55,310 --> 00:40:53,640
for launch

1060
00:40:58,490 --> 00:40:55,320
you're looking now at a graphic where

1061
00:41:01,490 --> 00:40:58,500
we're tracking the core stage fill rate

1062
00:41:04,190 --> 00:41:01,500
we did this earlier this evening took

1063
00:41:06,050 --> 00:41:04,200
about four hours and 20 minutes to fill

1064
00:41:08,690 --> 00:41:06,060
the core stage you can see on the left

1065
00:41:11,510 --> 00:41:08,700
that the core stage liquid oxygen is at

1066
00:41:13,550 --> 00:41:11,520
100 percent that's the same for the

1067
00:41:15,890 --> 00:41:13,560
upper stage and both are in stable

1068
00:41:18,230 --> 00:41:15,900
replenish as you can look to the right

1069
00:41:21,650 --> 00:41:18,240
though you can see that we're at 97

1070
00:41:24,349 --> 00:41:21,660
percent for liquid hydrogen a reason for

1071
00:41:25,430 --> 00:41:24,359
that is because when we went into stop

1072
00:41:28,069 --> 00:41:25,440
flow

1073
00:41:31,069 --> 00:41:28,079
that means that the replenish was no

1074
00:41:34,190 --> 00:41:31,079
longer refilling the tank and that

1075
00:41:37,250 --> 00:41:34,200
liquid hydrogen was boiling off

1076
00:41:39,589 --> 00:41:37,260
and uh draining some of the capacity out

1077
00:41:41,930 --> 00:41:39,599
of uh that particular tank so we've lost

1078
00:41:44,210 --> 00:41:41,940
some liquid hydrogen the plan is to

1079
00:41:47,030 --> 00:41:44,220
resume of course uh the filling of

1080
00:41:49,010 --> 00:41:47,040
liquid hydrogen which goes into that uh

1081
00:41:51,230 --> 00:41:49,020
into the liquid hydrogen tank on the

1082
00:41:53,450 --> 00:41:51,240
core stage and then vents out on that

1083
00:41:56,630 --> 00:41:53,460
flare stack that you see the right where

1084
00:41:58,370 --> 00:41:56,640
uh excess hydrogen is burned off that's

1085
00:42:00,770 --> 00:41:58,380
the latest here from firing room one

1086
00:42:02,329 --> 00:42:00,780
Megan we'll send it back to you thank

1087
00:42:04,310 --> 00:42:02,339
you Daryl all right let's go back inside

1088
00:42:06,890 --> 00:42:04,320
our Apollo Saturn 5 center now with

1089
00:42:09,050 --> 00:42:06,900
NASA's Dan Hewitt we last sent humans to

1090
00:42:10,849 --> 00:42:09,060
the Moon using the rocket behind you can

1091
00:42:13,910 --> 00:42:10,859
you show us how we're going back now

1092
00:42:15,829 --> 00:42:13,920
with Artemis absolutely thanks Megan so

1093
00:42:17,930 --> 00:42:15,839
Artemis one is going to take us from

1094
00:42:19,670 --> 00:42:17,940
planet Earth around the moon and all the

1095
00:42:22,310 --> 00:42:19,680
way back and I'm going to show you every

1096
00:42:24,410 --> 00:42:22,320
step of the way like every great space

1097
00:42:26,990 --> 00:42:24,420
mission it starts with the launch in

1098
00:42:29,270 --> 00:42:27,000
this case four rs-25 engines two solid

1099
00:42:31,430 --> 00:42:29,280
rocket boosters ignite sending SLS and

1100
00:42:33,050 --> 00:42:31,440
Orion into the sky on the way uphill

1101
00:42:35,089 --> 00:42:33,060
we'll have a number of jettison events

1102
00:42:37,370 --> 00:42:35,099
things coming off the rocket one of the

1103
00:42:38,810 --> 00:42:37,380
most visible these two large solid

1104
00:42:40,670 --> 00:42:38,820
rocket boosters a little over two

1105
00:42:42,770 --> 00:42:40,680
minutes into the flight will break away

1106
00:42:44,690 --> 00:42:42,780
we'll also have the launch abort system

1107
00:42:46,430 --> 00:42:44,700
come off once we're high enough and then

1108
00:42:48,290 --> 00:42:46,440
three fairings which are protecting

1109
00:42:49,730 --> 00:42:48,300
Orion's capsule and service module

1110
00:42:51,710 --> 00:42:49,740
during the flight through the thicker

1111
00:42:53,390 --> 00:42:51,720
parts of the atmosphere now after the

1112
00:42:55,130 --> 00:42:53,400
core stages consumed its propellants

1113
00:42:57,470 --> 00:42:55,140
we'll hear Mikko main engine cut off

1114
00:42:59,390 --> 00:42:57,480
those four engines will cut off the core

1115
00:43:01,430 --> 00:42:59,400
stage will drop away handing over

1116
00:43:03,950 --> 00:43:01,440
propulsion duties to this the interim

1117
00:43:06,410 --> 00:43:03,960
cryogenic propulsion stage

1118
00:43:08,210 --> 00:43:06,420
its first job is a perigee raised

1119
00:43:10,250 --> 00:43:08,220
maneuver perigee just means the lowest

1120
00:43:12,230 --> 00:43:10,260
point of your orbit this will give us a

1121
00:43:14,450 --> 00:43:12,240
nice circular path for Orion around our

1122
00:43:16,190 --> 00:43:14,460
planet while it's there we can really

1123
00:43:17,870 --> 00:43:16,200
check the spacecraft out make sure

1124
00:43:19,430 --> 00:43:17,880
everything from electrical systems

1125
00:43:21,470 --> 00:43:19,440
guidance navigation and control

1126
00:43:23,870 --> 00:43:21,480
Communications are all functioning

1127
00:43:26,390 --> 00:43:23,880
before we commit it to heading to the

1128
00:43:28,790 --> 00:43:26,400
moon and we do that with this the trans

1129
00:43:31,370 --> 00:43:28,800
lunar injection this will be about an 18

1130
00:43:34,370 --> 00:43:31,380
minute firing on today's timeline and

1131
00:43:36,650 --> 00:43:34,380
this is done to give us enough energy to

1132
00:43:39,230 --> 00:43:36,660
get out of low earth orbit and make our

1133
00:43:41,569 --> 00:43:39,240
way to the Moon shortly after that the

1134
00:43:43,370 --> 00:43:41,579
icps will separate it'll do a disposal

1135
00:43:45,349 --> 00:43:43,380
burn sending it around the moon and into

1136
00:43:47,150 --> 00:43:45,359
an orbit around the Sun but from there

1137
00:43:49,309 --> 00:43:47,160
on out propulsion duties get handed over

1138
00:43:50,750 --> 00:43:49,319
to the European service module it's

1139
00:43:52,910 --> 00:43:50,760
going to make a couple of outbound

1140
00:43:54,829 --> 00:43:52,920
trajectory correction Burns in the way

1141
00:43:56,630 --> 00:43:54,839
out critically testing that orbital

1142
00:43:58,309 --> 00:43:56,640
maneuvering system engine that large one

1143
00:43:59,690 --> 00:43:58,319
on the very bottom that's going to be

1144
00:44:01,670 --> 00:43:59,700
needed when we start making our

1145
00:44:03,770 --> 00:44:01,680
Maneuvers around the Moon to get into

1146
00:44:05,630 --> 00:44:03,780
what's known as distant retrograde orbit

1147
00:44:06,829 --> 00:44:05,640
or for dro

1148
00:44:08,750 --> 00:44:06,839
to do that we're going to do the

1149
00:44:11,030 --> 00:44:08,760
outbound powered flyby dipping in about

1150
00:44:12,890 --> 00:44:11,040
70 or 80 miles off the lunar surface

1151
00:44:14,390 --> 00:44:12,900
really pushing with that large engine

1152
00:44:16,130 --> 00:44:14,400
that's going to slingshot us around

1153
00:44:18,230 --> 00:44:16,140
we're going to do a final orbit

1154
00:44:20,510 --> 00:44:18,240
insertion maneuver and then we will be

1155
00:44:22,609 --> 00:44:20,520
in Dro distant retrograde orbit this

1156
00:44:25,250 --> 00:44:22,619
dotted line right here distant we're

1157
00:44:28,250 --> 00:44:25,260
about 40 000 miles off the lunar surface

1158
00:44:30,230 --> 00:44:28,260
and retrograde because the moon orbits

1159
00:44:31,930 --> 00:44:30,240
the earth in a counterclockwise fashion

1160
00:44:34,849 --> 00:44:31,940
we're going to be going clockwise

1161
00:44:37,430 --> 00:44:34,859
opposite retrograde it's a very stable

1162
00:44:39,589 --> 00:44:37,440
orbit doesn't require a lot of energy to

1163
00:44:41,630 --> 00:44:39,599
maintain your space there really lets us

1164
00:44:44,390 --> 00:44:41,640
put Orion through the paces learn about

1165
00:44:46,550 --> 00:44:44,400
using the spacecraft in in deep space

1166
00:44:48,650 --> 00:44:46,560
but eventually it'll be time to come

1167
00:44:51,170 --> 00:44:48,660
home we'll fire up the engines once more

1168
00:44:53,450 --> 00:44:51,180
do a departure burn this is what commits

1169
00:44:55,670 --> 00:44:53,460
us from departing the moon and heading

1170
00:44:57,530 --> 00:44:55,680
back home we'll dip in close to the

1171
00:45:00,109 --> 00:44:57,540
surface once more for the return powered

1172
00:45:02,150 --> 00:45:00,119
flyby and execute correction burns on

1173
00:45:04,790 --> 00:45:02,160
the return Transit as we target a

1174
00:45:06,710 --> 00:45:04,800
Splashdown in the Pacific Ocean

1175
00:45:08,630 --> 00:45:06,720
before that happens the spacecraft

1176
00:45:10,790 --> 00:45:08,640
separate the European service module's

1177
00:45:14,450 --> 00:45:10,800
job is done it drops a way to burn up

1178
00:45:16,910 --> 00:45:14,460
revealing the heat shield this is goal

1179
00:45:18,770 --> 00:45:16,920
number one for this flight is testing

1180
00:45:20,930 --> 00:45:18,780
that heat shield at lunar return

1181
00:45:22,670 --> 00:45:20,940
velocities because when we hit the upper

1182
00:45:25,309 --> 00:45:22,680
atmosphere we're going to be moving more

1183
00:45:27,410 --> 00:45:25,319
than 20 000 miles an hour and heating

1184
00:45:29,630 --> 00:45:27,420
that up to more than 5 000 degrees

1185
00:45:31,430 --> 00:45:29,640
Fahrenheit so really need to make sure

1186
00:45:33,470 --> 00:45:31,440
that that can withstand that heat of

1187
00:45:36,170 --> 00:45:33,480
re-entry after it makes it through

1188
00:45:37,970 --> 00:45:36,180
parachutes deploy Orion splashes down in

1189
00:45:40,490 --> 00:45:37,980
the Pacific a Navy ship and other

1190
00:45:42,530 --> 00:45:40,500
recovery assets are standing by to pick

1191
00:45:44,930 --> 00:45:42,540
it up out of the water and bring it in

1192
00:45:46,970 --> 00:45:44,940
to the first mission in the Artemis

1193
00:45:49,250 --> 00:45:46,980
program so that's all still going to

1194
00:45:50,450 --> 00:45:49,260
unfold it all starts with launch today

1195
00:45:52,670 --> 00:45:50,460
though so let's get back to the

1196
00:45:54,349 --> 00:45:52,680
countdown over to you Megan

1197
00:45:56,150 --> 00:45:54,359
our Return To The Moon would not be

1198
00:45:58,130 --> 00:45:56,160
possible without our partners across the

1199
00:46:01,250 --> 00:45:58,140
country and the world so joining us now

1200
00:46:03,170 --> 00:46:01,260
is Frank Divina head of esa's European

1201
00:46:05,809 --> 00:46:03,180
astronaut Center good evening to you

1202
00:46:08,329 --> 00:46:05,819
good evening well so I want to ask you

1203
00:46:10,790 --> 00:46:08,339
talk to me about Airbus and how that

1204
00:46:12,410 --> 00:46:10,800
company and Esa contributed to the Orion

1205
00:46:15,370 --> 00:46:12,420
spacecraft

1206
00:46:17,990 --> 00:46:15,380
well uh ambers is of course the the lead

1207
00:46:21,410 --> 00:46:18,000
manufacturer and integrator of the

1208
00:46:24,109 --> 00:46:21,420
service module of our Orion capsule and

1209
00:46:25,550 --> 00:46:24,119
that will fly to to the moon so this is

1210
00:46:27,230 --> 00:46:25,560
a very important part of course because

1211
00:46:30,349 --> 00:46:27,240
without the service module it's clear

1212
00:46:32,569 --> 00:46:30,359
that we would not get to the moon or not

1213
00:46:34,670 --> 00:46:32,579
be able to return from it so it's a very

1214
00:46:36,710 --> 00:46:34,680
important partner for for Isa better of

1215
00:46:38,630 --> 00:46:36,720
course there are Industries across

1216
00:46:40,790 --> 00:46:38,640
Europe not only Airbus but across Europe

1217
00:46:44,390 --> 00:46:40,800
that are contributing to the service

1218
00:46:46,550 --> 00:46:44,400
module in Italy in France Belgium really

1219
00:46:49,370 --> 00:46:46,560
it's a really European project

1220
00:46:51,829 --> 00:46:49,380
yeah Frank we've been close Partners

1221
00:46:53,569 --> 00:46:51,839
NASA and the European Space Agency for

1222
00:46:55,069 --> 00:46:53,579
decades now and partnering on things

1223
00:46:56,569 --> 00:46:55,079
like the space station scientific

1224
00:46:58,910 --> 00:46:56,579
exploration and of course commercial

1225
00:47:00,710 --> 00:46:58,920
crew missions Matthias Maurer Issa

1226
00:47:02,630 --> 00:47:00,720
astronaut extraordinaire was on my crew

1227
00:47:04,910 --> 00:47:02,640
crew three can you tell us a little bit

1228
00:47:06,410 --> 00:47:04,920
more about what makes these Partnerships

1229
00:47:08,569 --> 00:47:06,420
so important

1230
00:47:10,730 --> 00:47:08,579
well it's important these Partnerships

1231
00:47:12,410 --> 00:47:10,740
because we want to do sustainable

1232
00:47:15,050 --> 00:47:12,420
exploration of the Moon we want to

1233
00:47:17,150 --> 00:47:15,060
explore space on a sustainable way and I

1234
00:47:20,329 --> 00:47:17,160
think Partnerships in in that sense are

1235
00:47:22,250 --> 00:47:20,339
essential One Nation alone could they do

1236
00:47:24,230 --> 00:47:22,260
it the U.S maybe yes Europe certainly

1237
00:47:25,910 --> 00:47:24,240
could not participate to a lunar program

1238
00:47:28,370 --> 00:47:25,920
by themselves or could not do it by

1239
00:47:30,650 --> 00:47:28,380
themselves but I think if we do it as a

1240
00:47:32,210 --> 00:47:30,660
partnership we can go a lot further we

1241
00:47:35,450 --> 00:47:32,220
can do a lot more we can leverage

1242
00:47:38,030 --> 00:47:35,460
Technologies we can level talent in all

1243
00:47:39,470 --> 00:47:38,040
these countries across the globe that

1244
00:47:41,930 --> 00:47:39,480
can really push the the partnership

1245
00:47:43,430 --> 00:47:41,940
forward so looking ahead to Future

1246
00:47:46,309 --> 00:47:43,440
Artemis missions we're going to have

1247
00:47:48,230 --> 00:47:46,319
Issa astronauts on board those have you

1248
00:47:50,089 --> 00:47:48,240
guys begun preparing for that training

1249
00:47:52,550 --> 00:47:50,099
anything like that we have actually

1250
00:47:54,770 --> 00:47:52,560
started preparing already for uh lunar

1251
00:47:58,190 --> 00:47:54,780
missions surface missions we have a

1252
00:48:00,410 --> 00:47:58,200
program called Pangea in Iza which is

1253
00:48:02,510 --> 00:48:00,420
basically there are NASA astronauts

1254
00:48:05,569 --> 00:48:02,520
participating in in those trainings

1255
00:48:09,349 --> 00:48:05,579
Stephanie was just over with us just one

1256
00:48:11,150 --> 00:48:09,359
week ago doing field trips and we are

1257
00:48:12,950 --> 00:48:11,160
actually starting to prepare to see also

1258
00:48:15,710 --> 00:48:12,960
which Technologies do we need to use

1259
00:48:17,329 --> 00:48:15,720
that we can at the best possible way do

1260
00:48:19,790 --> 00:48:17,339
science on the moon because of course we

1261
00:48:22,309 --> 00:48:19,800
just do not go there to walk around or

1262
00:48:24,829 --> 00:48:22,319
do things we want to do uh real science

1263
00:48:26,390 --> 00:48:24,839
we want to do discoveries we want to

1264
00:48:28,490 --> 00:48:26,400
live there for a sustainable way so

1265
00:48:31,130 --> 00:48:28,500
which these Technologies do we need and

1266
00:48:32,870 --> 00:48:31,140
that we are actually starting already in

1267
00:48:34,430 --> 00:48:32,880
the European astronaut Center the we

1268
00:48:37,069 --> 00:48:34,440
actually started already more than five

1269
00:48:39,410 --> 00:48:37,079
years ago developing this this training

1270
00:48:41,150 --> 00:48:39,420
program so so yes we are involved again

1271
00:48:42,650 --> 00:48:41,160
together with our NASA colleagues and

1272
00:48:45,290 --> 00:48:42,660
colleagues from the the international

1273
00:48:47,510 --> 00:48:45,300
Partners to start preparing crew to

1274
00:48:50,030 --> 00:48:47,520
really do a sustainable surface

1275
00:48:51,530 --> 00:48:50,040
exploration of the Moon yeah and you

1276
00:48:52,910 --> 00:48:51,540
guys are doing more than just crew right

1277
00:48:55,069 --> 00:48:52,920
you guys were contributing to the

1278
00:48:57,109 --> 00:48:55,079
Artemis programs in other ways and we

1279
00:48:58,730 --> 00:48:57,119
are contributing to the Artemis program

1280
00:49:01,250 --> 00:48:58,740
in many ways of course the service

1281
00:49:03,470 --> 00:49:01,260
module uh that we will see launching

1282
00:49:05,450 --> 00:49:03,480
here hopefully uh today is is the

1283
00:49:07,790 --> 00:49:05,460
biggest part today but we are looking

1284
00:49:10,010 --> 00:49:07,800
into a lot of uh other uh capabilities

1285
00:49:12,650 --> 00:49:10,020
first of all there is the Gateway uh

1286
00:49:14,390 --> 00:49:12,660
that will be a real element to enable

1287
00:49:16,970 --> 00:49:14,400
the sustainable exploration of the Moon

1288
00:49:19,730 --> 00:49:16,980
we have the communication system on the

1289
00:49:21,710 --> 00:49:19,740
Gateway we have the ihap the habitation

1290
00:49:24,530 --> 00:49:21,720
module we have spree which is a

1291
00:49:26,390 --> 00:49:24,540
refueling module which is essential if

1292
00:49:28,370 --> 00:49:26,400
you want to sustain the Gateway there

1293
00:49:30,770 --> 00:49:28,380
for a longer period of time of course

1294
00:49:32,690 --> 00:49:30,780
you need to be able to to refuel the the

1295
00:49:35,510 --> 00:49:32,700
system so these are essential elements

1296
00:49:38,270 --> 00:49:35,520
again that is providing we're also

1297
00:49:40,609 --> 00:49:38,280
providing a small technology uh

1298
00:49:43,430 --> 00:49:40,619
experiments radiation for example will

1299
00:49:45,650 --> 00:49:43,440
be very important we are looking in crew

1300
00:49:47,930 --> 00:49:45,660
exercise device for the great way we are

1301
00:49:50,150 --> 00:49:47,940
looking into to Medical Systems so these

1302
00:49:51,890 --> 00:49:50,160
are also small components but for the

1303
00:49:53,450 --> 00:49:51,900
crew that are very important because we

1304
00:49:55,430 --> 00:49:53,460
need to creep the crew healthy there of

1305
00:49:56,630 --> 00:49:55,440
course your partner you have so much

1306
00:49:58,730 --> 00:49:56,640
that you're contributing we really

1307
00:50:00,650 --> 00:49:58,740
appreciate it we have a lot that we can

1308
00:50:02,510 --> 00:50:00,660
contribute and thank you and of course

1309
00:50:04,309 --> 00:50:02,520
in this ministerial because we have now

1310
00:50:06,470 --> 00:50:04,319
our ministerial conference coming up

1311
00:50:09,170 --> 00:50:06,480
next week where the big decisions are

1312
00:50:12,650 --> 00:50:09,180
going to be made for the next uh decade

1313
00:50:15,770 --> 00:50:12,660
and there we will propose a European

1314
00:50:18,470 --> 00:50:15,780
Lander that will bring Logistics to the

1315
00:50:20,390 --> 00:50:18,480
moon and this Logistics capability that

1316
00:50:22,609 --> 00:50:20,400
will be a big part of the integrated

1317
00:50:25,130 --> 00:50:22,619
Artemis program will allow us to have

1318
00:50:27,650 --> 00:50:25,140
European astronauts actually walking on

1319
00:50:29,329 --> 00:50:27,660
the moon so that is a really interesting

1320
00:50:31,790 --> 00:50:29,339
for us wow Frank thank you so much and

1321
00:50:32,990 --> 00:50:31,800

1322
00:50:34,490 --> 00:50:33,000
contributions that we can make together

1323
00:50:36,770 --> 00:50:34,500
with this partnership thank you so much

much all right and speaking of viewers

1327
00:50:44,510 --> 00:50:43,079
we have a ton of people out here on

1328
00:50:46,250 --> 00:50:44,520
along the Space Coast of Florida

1329
00:50:48,470 --> 00:50:46,260
watching today's launch so let's head on

1330
00:50:50,150 --> 00:50:48,480

1331
00:50:53,270 --> 00:50:50,160
the visitor center with whole bunch of

1332
00:50:54,589 --> 00:50:53,280
excited people oh my goodness Megan you

1333
00:50:55,970 --> 00:50:54,599

00:50:58,309 --> 00:50:55,980
that people are winding down and getting

1335
00:50:59,930 --> 00:50:58,319
ready for bed but there is not a single

1336
00:51:02,270 --> 00:50:59,940

1337
00:51:04,309 --> 00:51:02,280
it is everybody is so excited on the

1338
00:51:05,809 --> 00:51:04,319
edge of their seat trading stories

1339
00:51:07,670 --> 00:51:05,819
talking about previous launches and

1340
00:51:09,710 --> 00:51:07,680
being excited for this one and I'm

1341
00:51:11,809 --> 00:51:09,720
actually joined here by three women who

1342
00:51:13,849 --> 00:51:11,819
are thrilled to come out and watch

1343
00:51:15,170 --> 00:51:13,859

00:51:17,630 --> 00:51:15,180
out here and see this historic launch

1345
00:51:19,790 --> 00:51:17,640
tonight it's an amazing moment I grew up

1346
00:51:21,230 --> 00:51:19,800
on the space coast watching launches and

1347
00:51:23,089 --> 00:51:21,240
so to be out here tonight it's

1348
00:51:24,530 --> 00:51:23,099
incredible it's an amazing feeling to be

1349
00:51:26,630 --> 00:51:24,540
out with all of these people celebrating

1350
00:51:28,130 --> 00:51:26,640
and we're super excited to be here and

1351
00:51:30,230 --> 00:51:28,140
Isabel I know that you said that you

1352
00:51:31,549 --> 00:51:30,240
have been having your eyes on this

1353
00:51:32,870 --> 00:51:31,559
launch you've been watching on the

1354
00:51:35,150 --> 00:51:32,880
previous attempts what does it mean for

1355
00:51:37,190 --> 00:51:35,160
you to be here tonight well yeah this is

1356
00:51:38,630 --> 00:51:37,200
our third attempt here we were here for

1357
00:51:40,490 --> 00:51:38,640
the first and second here at Banana

1358
00:51:42,410 --> 00:51:40,500
Creek so we're really excited the energy

1359
00:51:44,270 --> 00:51:42,420
out here is electrifying and we can't

1360
00:51:47,030 --> 00:51:44,280
wait to see this thing go off

1361
00:51:48,530 --> 00:51:47,040
now this is the first of a series of

1362
00:51:50,990 --> 00:51:48,540
missions that are becoming increasingly

1363
00:51:53,390 --> 00:51:51,000
more complex what are you most excited

1364
00:51:55,910 --> 00:51:53,400
about for the Artemis missions Leah I am

1365
00:51:57,770 --> 00:51:55,920
so excited to be here I just feel so

1366
00:52:00,589 --> 00:51:57,780
honored because as you know this isn't

1367
00:52:03,290 --> 00:52:00,599
just a momentous launch for Humanity as

1368
00:52:05,150 --> 00:52:03,300
a whole it's so important for gender and

1369
00:52:07,430 --> 00:52:05,160
cultural minorities across the globe

1370
00:52:09,770 --> 00:52:07,440
because Artemis is landing the first

1371
00:52:11,390 --> 00:52:09,780
woman and the first person of color on

1372
00:52:14,030 --> 00:52:11,400
the surface of the Moon this is this

1373
00:52:15,770 --> 00:52:14,040
generation's Apollo and so all of the

1374
00:52:18,109 --> 00:52:15,780
people who didn't have the opportunity

1375
00:52:20,390 --> 00:52:18,119
to live through Apollo and be inspired

1376
00:52:22,730 --> 00:52:20,400
by that have the opportunity today to

1377
00:52:24,650 --> 00:52:22,740
witness it and I'm just so grateful to

1378
00:52:27,230 --> 00:52:24,660
be here I can't wait to see the positive

1379
00:52:28,430 --> 00:52:27,240
impact one more question uh this is

1380
00:52:30,410 --> 00:52:28,440
going to be something that you guys I'm

1381
00:52:32,750 --> 00:52:30,420
sure will remember for your entire lives

1382
00:52:34,490 --> 00:52:32,760
are how are you uh marking this and you

1383
00:52:35,569 --> 00:52:34,500
have any special plans of capturing

1384
00:52:38,030 --> 00:52:35,579
these memories and being able to pass

1385
00:52:39,770 --> 00:52:38,040
them on to you know people in your life

1386
00:52:41,329 --> 00:52:39,780
um well my son is growing up here I

1387
00:52:42,710 --> 00:52:41,339
didn't grow up here and so he's going to

1388
00:52:44,030 --> 00:52:42,720
grow up here on the space coast and I

1389
00:52:46,130 --> 00:52:44,040
just can't wait for him to just grow up

1390
00:52:47,750 --> 00:52:46,140
with the Artemis missions well Megan

1391
00:52:49,549 --> 00:52:47,760
we're out here we have our eye to the

1392
00:52:51,049 --> 00:52:49,559
sky and we can't wait to see it go back

1393
00:52:52,970 --> 00:52:51,059
to you

1394
00:52:55,010 --> 00:52:52,980
really great interviews and wow I saw

1395
00:52:56,930 --> 00:52:55,020
that drone shot that we had showing all

1396
00:52:58,250 --> 00:52:56,940
of the bleachers filled with people

1397
00:52:59,990 --> 00:52:58,260
there to watch the launch that was

1398
00:53:01,910 --> 00:53:00,000
incredible if you're just joining us

1399
00:53:04,609 --> 00:53:01,920
welcome to NASA's live launch coverage

1400
00:53:06,829 --> 00:53:04,619
of Artemis one our return to the Moon in

1401
00:53:08,750 --> 00:53:06,839
almost 50 years I'm NASA's Megan Cruz

1402
00:53:11,510 --> 00:53:08,760
and this is NASA astronaut Kayla veran

1403
00:53:13,430 --> 00:53:11,520
who flew on NASA's SpaceX crew 3 mission

1404
00:53:15,049 --> 00:53:13,440
and returned home earlier this year

1405
00:53:16,490 --> 00:53:15,059
after living and working on the

1406
00:53:19,010 --> 00:53:16,500
International Space Station for about

1407
00:53:20,150 --> 00:53:19,020
six months I gotta ask you how was that

1408
00:53:24,049 --> 00:53:20,160
experience

1409
00:53:27,230 --> 00:53:24,059
it was incredible we had such an amazing

1410
00:53:28,970 --> 00:53:27,240
time up there the Expedition 66 crew was

1411
00:53:30,530 --> 00:53:28,980
awesome I've been saying since I got

1412
00:53:32,510 --> 00:53:30,540
back that we're the happiest crew in the

1413
00:53:34,069 --> 00:53:32,520
history of the space station and

1414
00:53:36,109 --> 00:53:34,079
nobody's been able to really challenge

1415
00:53:38,690 --> 00:53:36,119
me on that yet you guys look very happy

1416
00:53:41,210 --> 00:53:38,700
in them oh man we were just like a

1417
00:53:43,549 --> 00:53:41,220
family up there executing an incredible

1418
00:53:46,490 --> 00:53:43,559
Mission some amazing science experiments

1419
00:53:48,410 --> 00:53:46,500
we got to do three space walks uh it was

1420
00:53:50,750 --> 00:53:48,420
just you couldn't have planned a perfect

1421
00:53:52,910 --> 00:53:50,760
first mission for me Matthias and Raja

1422
00:53:56,089 --> 00:53:52,920
and of course our veterans up there mark

1423
00:53:58,190 --> 00:53:56,099
and Tom we just it was it was amazing we

1424
00:53:59,809 --> 00:53:58,200
had an incredible time yeah wow look at

1425
00:54:00,770 --> 00:53:59,819
that photo of you in the cupola that is

1426
00:54:03,470 --> 00:54:00,780
amazing

1427
00:54:04,970 --> 00:54:03,480
yeah the views are beautiful it's just

1428
00:54:06,890 --> 00:54:04,980
like every time you look out the window

1429
00:54:08,390 --> 00:54:06,900
it takes your breath away wow and now

1430
00:54:10,730 --> 00:54:08,400
here you are adding some valuable

1431
00:54:12,890 --> 00:54:10,740
insight into Artemis one this is our

1432
00:54:14,630 --> 00:54:12,900
third opportunity to launch NASA's a

1433
00:54:16,730 --> 00:54:14,640
brand new space launch system rocket and

1434
00:54:18,650 --> 00:54:16,740
Orion spacecraft this is an uncrewed

1435
00:54:20,809 --> 00:54:18,660
flight test to pave the way for future

1436
00:54:23,630 --> 00:54:20,819
crude missions starting with Artemis 2

1437
00:54:24,950 --> 00:54:23,640
and Kayla you could be chosen to fly on

1438
00:54:27,349 --> 00:54:24,960
some of those future missions how does

1439
00:54:29,930 --> 00:54:27,359
that make you feel uh honestly it's a

1440
00:54:31,670 --> 00:54:29,940
little unbelievable to me I like could

1441
00:54:34,130 --> 00:54:31,680
barely imagine what it'd be like to go

1442
00:54:35,510 --> 00:54:34,140
to the space station until I did it and

1443
00:54:37,549 --> 00:54:35,520
just thinking about what it would be

1444
00:54:39,650 --> 00:54:37,559
like to look back at the Earth from

1445
00:54:42,589 --> 00:54:39,660
orbit around the moon or even standing

1446
00:54:45,230 --> 00:54:42,599
on the moon kind of blows my mind wow so

1447
00:54:46,970 --> 00:54:45,240
yeah it's hard hard to even imagine that

1448
00:54:49,970 --> 00:54:46,980
that's true but it's a really special

1449
00:54:51,410 --> 00:54:49,980
time to be at Nasa and an even more

1450
00:54:53,569 --> 00:54:51,420
special time to be in the astronaut

1451
00:54:57,049 --> 00:54:53,579
office yeah that's a beautiful picture

1452
00:54:59,089 --> 00:54:57,059
of you seeing the moon right yeah that's

1453
00:55:01,490 --> 00:54:59,099
a sort of a Moon spotting Adventure

1454
00:55:03,650 --> 00:55:01,500
there I've got binoculars one thing

1455
00:55:04,910 --> 00:55:03,660
that's really cool about seeing stars in

1456
00:55:06,109 --> 00:55:04,920
the Moon from orbit is you're not

1457
00:55:08,750 --> 00:55:06,119
looking at them through the atmosphere

1458
00:55:10,790 --> 00:55:08,760
so you get these very clear views and

1459
00:55:12,829 --> 00:55:10,800
the Moon is always super spherical you

1460
00:55:14,990 --> 00:55:12,839
never get these like sort of slices that

1461
00:55:18,589 --> 00:55:15,000
look kind of flat from Earth up there

1462
00:55:20,510 --> 00:55:18,599
you see it in 3D it feels like wow um so

1463
00:55:22,609 --> 00:55:20,520
yeah we I think we all sort of fall in

1464
00:55:25,190 --> 00:55:22,619
love with the Moon from space in a whole

1465
00:55:27,530 --> 00:55:25,200
new way yeah well today's launch attempt

1466
00:55:29,990 --> 00:55:27,540
comes amid a very busy year for us at

1467
00:55:32,089 --> 00:55:30,000
Nasa some of the highlights include two

1468
00:55:34,190 --> 00:55:32,099
more commercial crew launches with

1469
00:55:37,309 --> 00:55:34,200
SpaceX crew 4 in April you're seeing

1470
00:55:40,250 --> 00:55:37,319
there and crew 5 last month in May NASA

1471
00:55:42,589 --> 00:55:40,260
and Boeing flew oft2 the second uncrewed

1472
00:55:44,329 --> 00:55:42,599
flight test of the Starliner capsule the

1473
00:55:45,530 --> 00:55:44,339
goal is to certify the capsule for

1474
00:55:48,170 --> 00:55:45,540
regular flights to the International

1475
00:55:50,990 --> 00:55:48,180
Space Station after a crude flight test

1476
00:55:54,049 --> 00:55:51,000
next year in July we released the first

1477
00:55:56,510 --> 00:55:54,059
images captured by our James Webb Space

1478
00:55:58,549 --> 00:55:56,520
Telescope and wow they are magnificent

1479
00:56:00,650 --> 00:55:58,559
pictures like these could help us answer

1480
00:56:03,230 --> 00:56:00,660
some of astronomy's biggest questions

1481
00:56:05,450 --> 00:56:03,240
about how our universe began

1482
00:56:07,790 --> 00:56:05,460
and then in September we intentionally

1483
00:56:10,430 --> 00:56:07,800
slammed the dart spacecraft into

1484
00:56:12,589 --> 00:56:10,440
asteroid dimorphous and successfully

1485
00:56:14,270 --> 00:56:12,599
changed its course the asteroid wasn't

1486
00:56:16,609 --> 00:56:14,280
headed for Earth that's important to say

1487
00:56:18,710 --> 00:56:16,619
but the test was to show that we could

1488
00:56:20,510 --> 00:56:18,720
defend our planet if needed

1489
00:56:22,790 --> 00:56:20,520
and recently two other missions that

1490
00:56:25,130 --> 00:56:22,800
benefit the Artemis program last week we

1491
00:56:27,349 --> 00:56:25,140
tested a new inflatable heat shield that

1492
00:56:29,690 --> 00:56:27,359
could help us eventually land humans on

1493
00:56:32,329 --> 00:56:29,700
Mars and just two days ago Capstone

1494
00:56:34,250 --> 00:56:32,339
arrived at its intended orbit around the

1495
00:56:36,230 --> 00:56:34,260
moon the small satellite launched from

1496
00:56:38,930 --> 00:56:36,240
New Zealand in June and will now test

1497
00:56:40,609 --> 00:56:38,940
the unique lunar orbit for a future

1498
00:56:41,809 --> 00:56:40,619
space station there you heard us talk

1499
00:56:43,910 --> 00:56:41,819
about a gateway

1500
00:56:45,890 --> 00:56:43,920
now Kayla what do you think about all

1501
00:56:47,990 --> 00:56:45,900
that NASA is accomplishing

1502
00:56:50,569 --> 00:56:48,000
I mean those are all just amazing

1503
00:56:53,089 --> 00:56:50,579
examples of why it's such a cool time to

1504
00:56:55,190 --> 00:56:53,099
be part of human space flight and the

1505
00:56:57,349 --> 00:56:55,200
larger Space Program we're learning so

1506
00:56:59,450 --> 00:56:57,359
much not only about our home planet but

1507
00:57:01,490 --> 00:56:59,460
our galaxy and the universe like those

1508
00:57:03,710 --> 00:57:01,500
James Webb images just capture my

1509
00:57:05,990 --> 00:57:03,720
imagination every time they release a

1510
00:57:07,670 --> 00:57:06,000
new set and so it's yeah we have a lot

1511
00:57:09,049 --> 00:57:07,680
going on and a lot to be excited about

1512
00:57:10,670 --> 00:57:09,059
right now I hope people are following

1513
00:57:12,829 --> 00:57:10,680
along for it because it is truly great

1514
00:57:15,049 --> 00:57:12,839
and we want people to to share along

1515
00:57:16,609 --> 00:57:15,059
with that so all right one hour six

1516
00:57:18,589 --> 00:57:16,619
minutes and Counting from liftoff of

1517
00:57:20,510 --> 00:57:18,599
Artemis one let's head back to the

1518
00:57:22,730 --> 00:57:20,520
launch control center with Daryl nail

1519
00:57:25,609 --> 00:57:22,740
yeah thanks Megan and uh so we get an

1520
00:57:27,710 --> 00:57:25,619
update for you now the red crew of

1521
00:57:30,109 --> 00:57:27,720
course completed its work on torquing

1522
00:57:33,290 --> 00:57:30,119
down the bolts for that replenish valve

1523
00:57:36,530 --> 00:57:33,300
on the core stage hydrogen side and now

1524
00:57:39,829 --> 00:57:36,540
we are back in replenish for core stage

1525
00:57:42,290 --> 00:57:39,839
hydrogen which is good news the team now

1526
00:57:45,109 --> 00:57:42,300
looking to work on that upper stage and

1527
00:57:48,349 --> 00:57:45,119
we understand for the update to the NASA

1528
00:57:52,309 --> 00:57:48,359
test director they just informed uh the

1529
00:57:55,250 --> 00:57:52,319
NTD that they can start getting back the

1530
00:57:58,370 --> 00:57:55,260
flow on the upper stage as well it went

1531
00:58:01,190 --> 00:57:58,380
into a stop flow roughly around 10 pm

1532
00:58:03,910 --> 00:58:01,200
eastern time after a leak was detected

1533
00:58:06,530 --> 00:58:03,920
you can see the core stage status there

1534
00:58:08,630 --> 00:58:06,540
liquid oxygen side is in stable

1535
00:58:10,730 --> 00:58:08,640
replenish both for the core stage and

1536
00:58:12,049 --> 00:58:10,740
the upper stage of the rocket over on

1537
00:58:14,870 --> 00:58:12,059
the right side you can see we've lost

1538
00:58:18,349 --> 00:58:14,880
some hydrogen since going into a stop

1539
00:58:21,890 --> 00:58:18,359
flow that allowed some liquid hydrogen

1540
00:58:25,250 --> 00:58:21,900
to boil off during about an hour or so

1541
00:58:28,010 --> 00:58:25,260
while a red crew was sent out to the

1542
00:58:31,010 --> 00:58:28,020
launch pad to make repairs

1543
00:58:34,250 --> 00:58:31,020
now the hydrogen bleed for the engines

1544
00:58:37,190 --> 00:58:34,260
was re-established and it looks like the

1545
00:58:40,789 --> 00:58:37,200
team is back on track to recover that

1546
00:58:43,010 --> 00:58:40,799
after a stop flow halted the bleed they

1547
00:58:45,950 --> 00:58:43,020
are required to bleed that liquid

1548
00:58:48,410 --> 00:58:45,960
hydrogen through the rs-25 engines for

1549
00:58:51,530 --> 00:58:48,420
90 minutes but they're picking up where

1550
00:58:52,609 --> 00:58:51,540
they left off and that appears to be on

1551
00:58:54,770 --> 00:58:52,619
track

1552
00:58:57,650 --> 00:58:54,780
in the meantime we've had an update from

1553
00:59:00,589 --> 00:58:57,660
the range and the range has informed the

1554
00:59:03,170 --> 00:59:00,599
NASA text director that currently at the

1555
00:59:06,890 --> 00:59:03,180
moment if we were to launch now they are

1556
00:59:09,890 --> 00:59:06,900
no go due to the loss of signal on a

1557
00:59:12,530 --> 00:59:09,900
Radar Site that's currently being worked

1558
00:59:14,510 --> 00:59:12,540
right now again the range advising the

1559
00:59:17,089 --> 00:59:14,520
NASA test director that they are no go

1560
00:59:20,210 --> 00:59:17,099
uh the range is not clear for launch

1561
00:59:22,970 --> 00:59:20,220
until they remedy that issue on their

1562
00:59:24,349 --> 00:59:22,980
Radar Site and so we're also tracking

1563
00:59:28,069 --> 00:59:24,359
that

1564
00:59:29,930 --> 00:59:28,079
in the meantime we started this at 3 23

1565
00:59:32,270 --> 00:59:29,940
p.m Eastern Time

1566
00:59:34,849 --> 00:59:32,280
got the core stage tanked in about four

1567
00:59:37,370 --> 00:59:34,859
hours and 23 minutes and now looking to

1568
00:59:40,250 --> 00:59:37,380
get everything back on track to try to

1569
00:59:43,190 --> 00:59:40,260
make that launch window at 104 a.m

1570
00:59:46,549 --> 00:59:43,200
eastern time which has a two hour window

1571
00:59:49,130 --> 00:59:46,559
associated with it all the way to 3 A.M

1572
00:59:51,829 --> 00:59:49,140
eastern time that's the latest from the

1573
00:59:53,930 --> 00:59:51,839
firing room Megan back to you thank you

1574
00:59:56,089 --> 00:59:53,940
Daryl now there may not be astronauts

1575
00:59:57,530 --> 00:59:56,099
aboard the Orion spacecraft for this

1576
00:59:59,569 --> 00:59:57,540
flight test but there are some

1577
01:00:02,170 --> 00:59:59,579
passengers there with very important

1578
01:00:06,890 --> 01:00:05,150
inside the Orion spacecraft as we fly

1579
01:00:08,510 --> 01:00:06,900
around the Moon we have some cool

1580
01:00:10,309 --> 01:00:08,520
experiments going on to help us

1581
01:00:11,990 --> 01:00:10,319
understand what the environment is like

1582
01:00:13,849 --> 01:00:12,000
although there's no humans aboard

1583
01:00:15,770 --> 01:00:13,859
Artemis one we do have a few special

1584
01:00:18,049 --> 01:00:15,780
passengers aboard that will help us pave

1585
01:00:19,910 --> 01:00:18,059
the way for future Artemis missions so

1586
01:00:21,109 --> 01:00:19,920
there's basically three occupants riding

1587
01:00:23,930 --> 01:00:21,119
kind of think about it like three

1588
01:00:26,990 --> 01:00:23,940
astronauts we have a moonikin we will

1589
01:00:28,670 --> 01:00:27,000
also have two torsos that are learning

1590
01:00:30,170 --> 01:00:28,680
about the moon and learning about the

1591
01:00:32,329 --> 01:00:30,180
environment for our astronauts before

1592
01:00:34,789 --> 01:00:32,339
they go we have a mannequin on Artemis

1593
01:00:36,349 --> 01:00:34,799
one we call them our moon again for

1594
01:00:39,589 --> 01:00:36,359
short that Moon again is called

1595
01:00:42,470 --> 01:00:39,599
Commander Moon again Campos the name is

1596
01:00:44,030 --> 01:00:42,480
actually in homage to Arturo Campos who

1597
01:00:46,549 --> 01:00:44,040
was an important person who helped bring

1598
01:00:48,890 --> 01:00:46,559
the Apollo 13 capsule home the moon

1599
01:00:51,829 --> 01:00:48,900
again will sit in the Commander's seat

1600
01:00:54,109 --> 01:00:51,839
and it will wear a suit just like our

1601
01:00:56,569 --> 01:00:54,119
astronauts will wear Moon compost is

1602
01:00:59,150 --> 01:00:56,579
actually weighted to simulate an actual

1603
01:01:00,650 --> 01:00:59,160
human aboard the Orion spacecraft so

1604
01:01:03,289 --> 01:01:00,660
will help us understand what our

1605
01:01:04,730 --> 01:01:03,299
astronauts will experience as they go to

1606
01:01:07,069 --> 01:01:04,740
the moon and home the Orion Cruise

1607
01:01:08,990 --> 01:01:07,079
survival system suit and the Orion sea

1608
01:01:11,270 --> 01:01:09,000
were designed simultaneously to fit

1609
01:01:14,630 --> 01:01:11,280
together as a seamless package the

1610
01:01:17,030 --> 01:01:14,640
actual design of the suit was built into

1611
01:01:19,549 --> 01:01:17,040
the Orion sea such that when they're in

1612
01:01:21,349 --> 01:01:19,559
the suit in the seat is a true Cocoon of

1613
01:01:23,030 --> 01:01:21,359
protection for them during this test

1614
01:01:25,309 --> 01:01:23,040
flight the seat will actually be

1615
01:01:26,870 --> 01:01:25,319
instrumented with accelerometers sensors

1616
01:01:29,030 --> 01:01:26,880
that tell us how much the chair is

1617
01:01:30,829 --> 01:01:29,040
shaking during launch and re-entry and

1618
01:01:32,809 --> 01:01:30,839
how many g-forces or gravitational

1619
01:01:34,789 --> 01:01:32,819
forces it experiences we expect

1620
01:01:36,650 --> 01:01:34,799
Commander Munich and compost to have a

1621
01:01:38,809 --> 01:01:36,660
very exciting ride on his way to orbit

1622
01:01:40,849 --> 01:01:38,819
the thrill of launch the experience of

1623
01:01:42,950 --> 01:01:40,859
weightlessness the excitement of Landing

1624
01:01:44,690 --> 01:01:42,960
what we learn on Artemis 1 with our

1625
01:01:46,370 --> 01:01:44,700
mannequins assistance will help us

1626
01:01:48,170 --> 01:01:46,380
better understand how a human will

1627
01:01:50,630 --> 01:01:48,180
actually behave in the sea both for

1628
01:01:52,849 --> 01:01:50,640
landing and for launch to allow us to

1629
01:01:55,309 --> 01:01:52,859
ensure their safety in addition to the

1630
01:01:57,650 --> 01:01:55,319
Moon again we'll have two seats that

1631
01:02:00,410 --> 01:01:57,660
have basically what's like a human dummy

1632
01:02:01,490 --> 01:02:00,420
an upper torso that are detecting how

1633
01:02:03,589 --> 01:02:01,500
much radiation their experience

1634
01:02:06,589 --> 01:02:03,599
experiencing it's called the matrushka

1635
01:02:08,390 --> 01:02:06,599
astrolog radiation experiment Mare Mare

1636
01:02:10,970 --> 01:02:08,400
is an international collaboration with

1637
01:02:14,089 --> 01:02:10,980
German Aerospace Center DLR and with

1638
01:02:16,970 --> 01:02:14,099
Israel space agency the mara experiment

1639
01:02:20,150 --> 01:02:16,980
consists of two anthropomorphic Phantoms

1640
01:02:23,210 --> 01:02:20,160
called Helga and Zohar that are

1641
01:02:25,670 --> 01:02:23,220
simulating a female body in a space

1642
01:02:28,069 --> 01:02:25,680
radiation environment one of those will

1643
01:02:30,650 --> 01:02:28,079
be wearing a safety vest the Astro

1644
01:02:32,569 --> 01:02:30,660
radiation vest that we hope will help

1645
01:02:34,910 --> 01:02:32,579
protect our astronauts from radiation

1646
01:02:38,150 --> 01:02:34,920
each one of the two Phantoms will be

1647
01:02:40,910 --> 01:02:38,160
equipped with about 20 battery operated

1648
01:02:43,430 --> 01:02:40,920
radiation instruments so between the two

1649
01:02:44,809 --> 01:02:43,440
we'll be able to determine how well we

1650
01:02:47,270 --> 01:02:44,819
can protect our astronauts from

1651
01:02:49,490 --> 01:02:47,280
radiation events space radiation is a

1652
01:02:52,370 --> 01:02:49,500
mix of high energy heavy charge

1653
01:02:54,890 --> 01:02:52,380
particles that originate from the Sun to

1654
01:02:57,530 --> 01:02:54,900
put things in perspective one year of

1655
01:02:59,690 --> 01:02:57,540
Earth exposure to cosmic rays is

1656
01:03:02,390 --> 01:02:59,700
equivalent with one day of space

1657
01:03:05,089 --> 01:03:02,400
radiation exposure in deep space the

1658
01:03:07,849 --> 01:03:05,099
purpose of the mara experiment is to

1659
01:03:11,390 --> 01:03:07,859
learn more about the radiation exposure

1660
01:03:13,430 --> 01:03:11,400
as well as the biological effects of

1661
01:03:16,370 --> 01:03:13,440
different organs so basically it's like

1662
01:03:18,470 --> 01:03:16,380
we have three occupants inside Orion

1663
01:03:19,970 --> 01:03:18,480
that are learning about the moon and

1664
01:03:22,190 --> 01:03:19,980
learning about the environment for our

1665
01:03:24,349 --> 01:03:22,200
astronauts before they go going back to

1666
01:03:26,630 --> 01:03:24,359
the Moon with new exploration goals and

1667
01:03:28,609 --> 01:03:26,640
new technologies will help us gain

1668
01:03:31,130 --> 01:03:28,619
better understanding of the challenges

1669
01:03:33,589 --> 01:03:31,140
we encounter with deep space exploration

1670
01:03:35,930 --> 01:03:33,599
we will have to develop new technology

1671
01:03:38,030 --> 01:03:35,940
and solutions to meet really difficult

1672
01:03:42,890 --> 01:03:38,040
challenges but that's what NASA does

1673
01:03:46,670 --> 01:03:44,809
and we have one more passenger to tell

1674
01:03:48,589 --> 01:03:46,680
you about it's everyone's favorite

1675
01:03:52,250 --> 01:03:48,599
beagle that's had a special connection

1676
01:03:55,849 --> 01:03:52,260
with NASA ever since Apollo

1677
01:03:59,030 --> 01:03:55,859
Artemis is NASA's plan to go back to the

1678
01:04:02,210 --> 01:03:59,040
moon and Snoopy is to be the zero

1679
01:04:04,609 --> 01:04:02,220
gravity indicator a zero D or a zero

1680
01:04:06,349 --> 01:04:04,619
gravity indicator demonstrates the

1681
01:04:09,710 --> 01:04:06,359
moment that the crew and the spacecraft

1682
01:04:12,410 --> 01:04:09,720
reach weightlessness Snoopy is about to

1683
01:04:15,109 --> 01:04:12,420
take his first trip around the moon the

1684
01:04:17,870 --> 01:04:15,119
relationship with NASA and Snoopy goes

1685
01:04:20,089 --> 01:04:17,880
back about 50 years since the Apollo

1686
01:04:23,809 --> 01:04:20,099
days he was the face of the safety

1687
01:04:26,450 --> 01:04:23,819
campaign the icon for NASA's culture of

1688
01:04:29,030 --> 01:04:26,460
safety and Mission success so NASA and

1689
01:04:32,750 --> 01:04:29,040
peanuts have a space act agreement and

1690
01:04:35,870 --> 01:04:32,760
we collaborate together on stem content

1691
01:04:38,030 --> 01:04:35,880
and we really were excited when it was

1692
01:04:40,609 --> 01:04:38,040
decided that Snoopy would be the zero

1693
01:04:43,069 --> 01:04:40,619
gravity indicator on Artemis one we

1694
01:04:45,650 --> 01:04:43,079
wanted to go all out so we created a

1695
01:04:47,870 --> 01:04:45,660
custom Snoopy and the spacesuit is

1696
01:04:50,930 --> 01:04:47,880
actually made out of material worn by

1697
01:04:53,750 --> 01:04:50,940
the NASA astronauts everything was done

1698
01:04:57,289 --> 01:04:53,760
with extreme detail tail they cut

1699
01:05:00,289 --> 01:04:57,299
patterns for his suit even how his

1700
01:05:04,250 --> 01:05:00,299
collar worked and how the NASA meatball

1701
01:05:09,650 --> 01:05:06,650
very excited I'm personally very excited

1702
01:05:12,289 --> 01:05:09,660
I can't contain the excitement I am

1703
01:05:14,690 --> 01:05:12,299
feeling about this day Snoopy is going

1704
01:05:16,970 --> 01:05:14,700
farther in space than he's ever been

1705
01:05:19,540 --> 01:05:16,980
before this is a day that we've all been

1706
01:05:22,190 --> 01:05:19,550
waiting for it's it's fantastic

1707
01:05:24,170 --> 01:05:22,200
[Music]

1708
01:05:26,930 --> 01:05:24,180
and we snapped this picture of Snoopy

1709
01:05:29,030 --> 01:05:26,940
and Orion he's comfortable and ready for

1710
01:05:31,730 --> 01:05:29,040
his journey to the Moon

1711
01:05:33,470 --> 01:05:31,740
lucky for us that Snoopy has this twin

1712
01:05:35,510 --> 01:05:33,480
that's staying here on Earth that way we

1713
01:05:37,609 --> 01:05:35,520
can take a closer look at how cute he is

1714
01:05:39,410 --> 01:05:37,619
and this Orange

1715
01:05:41,930 --> 01:05:39,420
um suit I mean it is amazing it's

1716
01:05:44,150 --> 01:05:41,940
actually uh the same material that would

1717
01:05:46,010 --> 01:05:44,160
be worn by Artemis astronauts right

1718
01:05:47,930 --> 01:05:46,020
yeah you know the suits will be wearing

1719
01:05:49,910 --> 01:05:47,940
an Artemis ultimately are an update of

1720
01:05:51,890 --> 01:05:49,920
the shoot suits that the shuttle Crews

1721
01:05:53,390 --> 01:05:51,900
wore that they're this iconic orange

1722
01:05:55,730 --> 01:05:53,400
color

1723
01:05:58,069 --> 01:05:55,740
um and we've updated them though for

1724
01:05:59,809 --> 01:05:58,079
with new technologies and also new crew

1725
01:06:01,609 --> 01:05:59,819
capabilities so that they can best

1726
01:06:03,109 --> 01:06:01,619
protect the crew and our Return To The

1727
01:06:05,329 --> 01:06:03,119
Moon I actually got to work with that

1728
01:06:06,710 --> 01:06:05,339
suit team before my assignment and so

1729
01:06:07,849 --> 01:06:06,720
the suit's kind of near and dear to my

1730
01:06:10,010 --> 01:06:07,859
heart yeah I think they have a picture

1731
01:06:12,289 --> 01:06:10,020
of you wearing the suit as part of when

1732
01:06:14,930 --> 01:06:12,299
you were helping to design it right

1733
01:06:16,670 --> 01:06:14,940
yeah so I was our representation from

1734
01:06:18,230 --> 01:06:16,680
the crew office from the astronaut

1735
01:06:19,670 --> 01:06:18,240
office to the engineering team that's

1736
01:06:21,410 --> 01:06:19,680
working on putting the suit together so

1737
01:06:24,529 --> 01:06:21,420
I got the chance to wear it for some of

1738
01:06:26,690 --> 01:06:24,539
the early testing and it is an amazing

1739
01:06:30,170 --> 01:06:26,700
suit and it'll protect us while we're in

1740
01:06:31,970 --> 01:06:30,180
the vehicle cool so what was your uh

1741
01:06:33,650 --> 01:06:31,980
zero g indicator

1742
01:06:35,690 --> 01:06:33,660
yeah like the video mentioned we always

1743
01:06:38,089 --> 01:06:35,700
choose stuffed animals so we actually

1744
01:06:39,910 --> 01:06:38,099
had a turtle we named her foul which is

1745
01:06:43,910 --> 01:06:39,920
German for peacock

1746
01:06:45,710 --> 01:06:43,920
and we chose that because Raj and I are

1747
01:06:47,029 --> 01:06:45,720
from the turtle training class so we

1748
01:06:49,370 --> 01:06:47,039
thought it would be fun to have a sea

1749
01:06:52,730 --> 01:06:49,380
turtle as our zero g indicator but we

1750
01:06:54,109 --> 01:06:52,740
wanted to have a nod to Matthias who is

1751
01:06:56,029 --> 01:06:54,119
a German astronaut so that's what gave

1752
01:06:58,130 --> 01:06:56,039
her a German name and Tom who's from the

1753
01:06:59,630 --> 01:06:58,140
peacock class so she's peacock colored

1754
01:07:01,490 --> 01:06:59,640
and it kind of worked for everybody I

1755
01:07:03,950 --> 01:07:01,500
was about to ask I was like wait why is

1756
01:07:06,349 --> 01:07:03,960
it German for peacock but it's a turtle

1757
01:07:09,109 --> 01:07:06,359
yeah exactly now I get it as a you know

1758
01:07:11,270 --> 01:07:09,119
diplomacy crew diplomacy now I get it so

1759
01:07:13,130 --> 01:07:11,280
we had Turtle we have snoopy here why is

1760
01:07:15,589 --> 01:07:13,140
it always toys

1761
01:07:17,150 --> 01:07:15,599
I think the tradition goes back to Crews

1762
01:07:19,130 --> 01:07:17,160
taking stuffed animals from their

1763
01:07:22,130 --> 01:07:19,140
children and sometimes flying the

1764
01:07:24,289 --> 01:07:22,140
stuffed animals of their kids that still

1765
01:07:26,150 --> 01:07:24,299
happens to this day when a cruise

1766
01:07:27,710 --> 01:07:26,160
selects a zero g indicator but they're

1767
01:07:29,390 --> 01:07:27,720
convenient because they're nice and soft

1768
01:07:30,890 --> 01:07:29,400
so if you're gonna allow something to

1769
01:07:32,750 --> 01:07:30,900
bounce around in the capsule you want to

1770
01:07:34,609 --> 01:07:32,760
make sure that it won't hurt the crew or

1771
01:07:36,109 --> 01:07:34,619
any of the equipment and they're cute I

1772
01:07:38,809 --> 01:07:36,119
mean come on who doesn't want to make

1773
01:07:40,789 --> 01:07:38,819
you smile yeah absolutely well NASA's

1774
01:07:43,250 --> 01:07:40,799
Workforce has changed over the last 50

1775
01:07:46,010 --> 01:07:43,260
years for Artemis one today women make

1776
01:07:47,329 --> 01:07:46,020
up 30 percent of the launch Team but

1777
01:07:50,270 --> 01:07:47,339
when we first stepped on the moon with

1778
01:07:52,010 --> 01:07:50,280
Apollo 11 in 1969 take a look at this

1779
01:07:55,069 --> 01:07:52,020
picture here

1780
01:07:58,549 --> 01:07:55,079
you see this woman highlighted near the

1781
01:08:02,990 --> 01:08:01,010
that's going to be Joanne Morgan and she

1782
01:08:04,910 --> 01:08:03,000
was the only woman in the firing room

1783
01:08:09,410 --> 01:08:04,920
she now has a special message for the

1784
01:08:14,809 --> 01:08:12,410
hello I'm Joanne Morgan and I am so

1785
01:08:16,789 --> 01:08:14,819
excited for Artemis Swan this flight

1786
01:08:18,950 --> 01:08:16,799
test will bring new knowledge to people

1787
01:08:22,070 --> 01:08:18,960
on Earth and I'm thrilled to see such a

1788
01:08:24,349 --> 01:08:22,080
diverse team at the LCC making it happen

1789
01:08:26,570 --> 01:08:24,359
firing room one is a different site

1790
01:08:29,450 --> 01:08:26,580
today than when I was on console for

1791
01:08:31,729 --> 01:08:29,460
Apollo 11. I was totally focused on

1792
01:08:34,430 --> 01:08:31,739
doing my job and never thought about

1793
01:08:37,849 --> 01:08:34,440
being the only woman in the room

1794
01:08:40,309 --> 01:08:37,859
today women at Nasa are Center directors

1795
01:08:42,650 --> 01:08:40,319
and launch and flight directors and have

1796
01:08:45,590 --> 01:08:42,660
substantial roles in engineering science

1797
01:08:47,390 --> 01:08:45,600
and technical areas this is so important

1798
01:08:49,910 --> 01:08:47,400
for a new generation the Artemis

1799
01:08:51,769 --> 01:08:49,920
generation to see how individuals are

1800
01:08:54,289 --> 01:08:51,779
leaders and contributors to the mission

1801
01:08:56,269 --> 01:08:54,299
and for youth Across America and the

1802
01:08:59,870 --> 01:08:56,279
planet to see this as well

1803
01:09:02,209 --> 01:08:59,880
after 50 years it is gratifying to see

1804
01:09:04,789 --> 01:09:02,219
this change and I can't wait to see what

1805
01:09:07,430 --> 01:09:04,799
you all accomplished together New

1806
01:09:10,370 --> 01:09:07,440
Century New Generation new mission to

1807
01:09:12,950 --> 01:09:10,380
the moon and Beyond godspeed Artemis

1808
01:09:14,689 --> 01:09:12,960
team and Artemis one

1809
01:09:16,490 --> 01:09:14,699
I think it's so great that we know she's

1810
01:09:19,309 --> 01:09:16,500
following along and interested in this

1811
01:09:21,050 --> 01:09:19,319
Mission too yeah it's so awesome to see

1812
01:09:23,450 --> 01:09:21,060
the women who have come before us at

1813
01:09:25,669 --> 01:09:23,460
Nasa and paved the way for a much more

1814
01:09:27,709 --> 01:09:25,679
diverse team to contribute to these

1815
01:09:29,630 --> 01:09:27,719
amazing missions yeah and speaking of

1816
01:09:31,550 --> 01:09:29,640
women breaking the mold before serving

1817
01:09:34,070 --> 01:09:31,560
as a NASA astronaut I know you were a

1818
01:09:36,050 --> 01:09:34,080
naval officer and a member of the first

1819
01:09:38,450 --> 01:09:36,060
class of women commissioned to the

1820
01:09:40,610 --> 01:09:38,460
submarine Community how amazing is that

1821
01:09:42,289 --> 01:09:40,620
I mean what would you say as you look at

1822
01:09:44,749 --> 01:09:42,299
these pictures what would you say to

1823
01:09:46,910 --> 01:09:44,759
women young girls who might be thinking

1824
01:09:48,289 --> 01:09:46,920
hey I might want to join a predominantly

1825
01:09:50,030 --> 01:09:48,299
male field

1826
01:09:51,349 --> 01:09:50,040
yeah you know I was just really lucky to

1827
01:09:53,450 --> 01:09:51,359
be in the right place at the right time

1828
01:09:54,590 --> 01:09:53,460
I was a senior at the Naval Academy when

1829
01:09:56,630 --> 01:09:54,600
they announced that they were going to

1830
01:09:59,209 --> 01:09:56,640
change the policy and allow us to serve

1831
01:10:00,890 --> 01:09:59,219
aboard submarines but even before that

1832
01:10:02,270 --> 01:10:00,900
change happened I knew that I was

1833
01:10:03,830 --> 01:10:02,280
passionate about serving in that role

1834
01:10:07,130 --> 01:10:03,840
and I was dreaming about it so I think

1835
01:10:09,650 --> 01:10:07,140
allowing yourself to really examine what

1836
01:10:10,970 --> 01:10:09,660
your passions are and be brave enough to

1837
01:10:12,950 --> 01:10:10,980
dream that you could actually do those

1838
01:10:15,290 --> 01:10:12,960
things I had awesome mentors who

1839
01:10:17,510 --> 01:10:15,300
encouraged me along the way and told me

1840
01:10:20,209 --> 01:10:17,520
never close a door on yourself you know

1841
01:10:21,530 --> 01:10:20,219
you always want to put yourself in the

1842
01:10:22,910 --> 01:10:21,540
roles you're most passionate about

1843
01:10:24,890 --> 01:10:22,920
especially if you're going to challenge

1844
01:10:26,630 --> 01:10:24,900
yourself doing something you love that's

1845
01:10:29,390 --> 01:10:26,640
hard is so much better than doing

1846
01:10:31,610 --> 01:10:29,400
something that you're not as well suited

1847
01:10:33,229 --> 01:10:31,620
to so I was just lucky I had some

1848
01:10:34,970 --> 01:10:33,239
awesome leaders in my life who

1849
01:10:36,470 --> 01:10:34,980
encouraged me to be brave enough to

1850
01:10:38,209 --> 01:10:36,480
dream so that when those opportunities

1851
01:10:39,950 --> 01:10:38,219
presented themselves I was ready to take

1852
01:10:41,810 --> 01:10:39,960
them on yeah no that's great having

1853
01:10:44,270 --> 01:10:41,820
mentors is always so important because

1854
01:10:45,890 --> 01:10:44,280
yes sometimes you don't know what path

1855
01:10:47,450 --> 01:10:45,900
to take especially if you're blazing

1856
01:10:49,490 --> 01:10:47,460
your own so it's always so nice to have

1857
01:10:50,930 --> 01:10:49,500
somebody to talk through some of that

1858
01:10:53,689 --> 01:10:50,940
absolutely

1859
01:10:56,030 --> 01:10:53,699
52 minutes until the opening of the two

1860
01:10:57,470 --> 01:10:56,040
hour window for Artemis one today once

1861
01:10:58,910 --> 01:10:57,480
it soars off the launch pad our

1862
01:11:00,470 --> 01:10:58,920
colleagues over in Houston will take

1863
01:11:17,169 --> 01:11:00,480
over Leah how are things looking in

1864
01:11:21,169 --> 01:11:19,610
hey Megan I'm here now and thanks for

1865
01:11:23,570 --> 01:11:21,179
joining us again here in the white

1866
01:11:25,130 --> 01:11:23,580
flight control room here at NASA's

1867
01:11:27,350 --> 01:11:25,140
Johnson Space Center so you might be

1868
01:11:28,970 --> 01:11:27,360
wondering why Johnson Space Center will

1869
01:11:30,770 --> 01:11:28,980
control the flight of Orion after

1870
01:11:32,510 --> 01:11:30,780
liftoff even though it's launching at

1871
01:11:34,490 --> 01:11:32,520
Kennedy Space Center and that's all

1872
01:11:36,649 --> 01:11:34,500
about how our flight control centers are

1873
01:11:39,050 --> 01:11:36,659
designed launch control is at Kennedy

1874
01:11:41,330 --> 01:11:39,060
while mission control is in Houston and

1875
01:11:43,189 --> 01:11:41,340
we also have the SLS engineering Support

1876
01:11:45,530 --> 01:11:43,199
Center at NASA's Marshall space flight

1877
01:11:48,110 --> 01:11:45,540
center ever since the Gemini 4 Mission

1878
01:11:50,510 --> 01:11:48,120
in 1965 all flights have been commanded

1879
01:11:52,310 --> 01:11:50,520
from Houston after launch so we have the

1880
01:11:54,290 --> 01:11:52,320
infrastructure and the experience here

1881
01:11:56,570 --> 01:11:54,300
at Johnson Space Center to work through

1882
01:11:59,510 --> 01:11:56,580
long duration missions with or in this

1883
01:12:01,550 --> 01:11:59,520
case without crew additionally launches

1884
01:12:04,010 --> 01:12:01,560
must be conducted over water rather than

1885
01:12:06,350 --> 01:12:04,020
overpopulated areas which makes Kennedy

1886
01:12:08,810 --> 01:12:06,360
Space Center a prime location again

1887
01:12:10,250 --> 01:12:08,820
we're ready to jump into action once SLS

1888
01:12:12,169 --> 01:12:10,260
takes flight and this room will be

1889
01:12:14,209 --> 01:12:12,179
staffed Around the Clock until Orion

1890
01:12:16,070 --> 01:12:14,219
splashes down at the end of the mission

1891
01:12:17,810 --> 01:12:16,080
we're excited to continue that work

1892
01:12:19,910 --> 01:12:17,820
today with Artemis 1 and throughout the

1893
01:12:23,090 --> 01:12:19,920
Artemis program but for now we'll turn

1894
01:12:25,130 --> 01:12:23,100
it back over to you Megan and Kayla

1895
01:12:26,810 --> 01:12:25,140
now the fully stacked SLS and Orion

1896
01:12:28,669 --> 01:12:26,820
system was rolled from the Vehicle

1897
01:12:31,310 --> 01:12:28,679
Assembly Building to the launch pad

1898
01:12:34,669 --> 01:12:31,320
about two weeks ago we captured this

1899
01:12:36,709 --> 01:12:34,679
video of the Four Mile nine hour Journey

1900
01:12:38,390 --> 01:12:36,719
it took a special transporter and a

1901
01:12:40,430 --> 01:12:38,400
special team of people to make it happen

1902
01:12:44,390 --> 01:12:40,440
hear from them what it's like to

1903
01:12:47,330 --> 01:12:44,400
shoulder the weight of this moment

1904
01:12:49,310 --> 01:12:47,340
the crawler transporter is a it's a

1905
01:12:50,630 --> 01:12:49,320
machine that goes and picks up the

1906
01:12:54,290 --> 01:12:50,640
mobile launcher

1907
01:12:55,850 --> 01:12:54,300
the SLS rocket with Orion it's basically

1908
01:12:58,130 --> 01:12:55,860
the Cornerstone of the mobile launch

1909
01:13:00,470 --> 01:12:58,140
concept without the crawler you couldn't

1910
01:13:02,570 --> 01:13:00,480
transport the mobile launcher and the

1911
01:13:04,970 --> 01:13:02,580
vehicle from the VAB to the pad or the

1912
01:13:06,830 --> 01:13:04,980
pad back to the VAB and it was designed

1913
01:13:09,530 --> 01:13:06,840
and built for the Apollo program to move

1914
01:13:11,570 --> 01:13:09,540
Saturn files to the launch pad since

1915
01:13:13,610 --> 01:13:11,580
then we've modified it and used it to

1916
01:13:14,930 --> 01:13:13,620
move the entire shuttle program and

1917
01:13:16,970 --> 01:13:14,940
after the shuttle program we did

1918
01:13:19,130 --> 01:13:16,980
extensive modifications and now it's to

1919
01:13:21,070 --> 01:13:19,140
be used to move Artemis to the launch

1920
01:13:25,669 --> 01:13:21,080
pad the crawler is

1921
01:13:28,250 --> 01:13:25,679
136 feet long from end to end it's 114

1922
01:13:30,169 --> 01:13:28,260
feet wide from the edge of the truck to

1923
01:13:33,530 --> 01:13:30,179
the other edge of the truck and it

1924
01:13:35,510 --> 01:13:33,540
weighs 6.6 million pounds it has the

1925
01:13:37,430 --> 01:13:35,520
power to do two miles an hour but you

1926
01:13:41,689 --> 01:13:37,440
never want to go that fast generally

1927
01:13:43,370 --> 01:13:41,699
we're around 0.83 for SLS Artemis will

1928
01:13:45,050 --> 01:13:43,380
be one of the heaviest loads we've ever

1929
01:13:46,970 --> 01:13:45,060
carried and one of the tallest loads

1930
01:13:48,530 --> 01:13:46,980
we've carried I am exceptionally proud

1931
01:13:50,990 --> 01:13:48,540
of our team they're very talented

1932
01:13:52,430 --> 01:13:51,000
they're very committed and they're

1933
01:13:54,770 --> 01:13:52,440
they're just all around good team I

1934
01:13:56,030 --> 01:13:54,780
think we'll any problem with crops up or

1935
01:13:58,189 --> 01:13:56,040
anything that comes up we'll fix it

1936
01:14:00,470 --> 01:13:58,199
we'll get moving again and again it

1937
01:14:01,970 --> 01:14:00,480
starts right here with the crawler so if

1938
01:14:03,290 --> 01:14:01,980
we do our job and everybody else does

1939
01:14:04,610 --> 01:14:03,300
theirs man we're going to have a

1940
01:14:06,290 --> 01:14:04,620
successful launch we're going back to

1941
01:14:09,830 --> 01:14:06,300
the moon this is going to be just

1942
01:14:13,490 --> 01:14:11,689
such an impressive team

1943
01:14:15,290 --> 01:14:13,500
crawler Kayla I mean this is a

1944
01:14:17,510 --> 01:14:15,300
certificate from the Guinness Book of

1945
01:14:20,270 --> 01:14:17,520
World Records yeah it's pretty cool

1946
01:14:23,229 --> 01:14:20,280
getting the recognized for the heaviest

1947
01:14:26,689 --> 01:14:23,239
self-powered vehicle in the world at

1948
01:14:28,189 --> 01:14:26,699
3106 tons that's amazing I know I know

1949
01:14:30,770 --> 01:14:28,199
we were just talking about how awesome

1950
01:14:32,930 --> 01:14:30,780
the crawler is I mean it was retrofit it

1951
01:14:36,290 --> 01:14:32,940
was it was created in the Apollo for the

1952
01:14:38,510 --> 01:14:36,300
Apollo uh missions and it was updated

1953
01:14:41,630 --> 01:14:38,520
modified for shuttle and now it's been

1954
01:14:44,649 --> 01:14:41,640
modified for Artemis it's just really an

1955
01:14:47,689 --> 01:14:44,659
amazing machine and the people who

1956
01:14:49,430 --> 01:14:47,699
keep it maintained and operate it like

1957
01:14:54,470 --> 01:14:49,440
I'm so glad that we could feature them

1958
01:14:56,209 --> 01:14:54,480
today absolutely all right so we are 48

1959
01:14:57,830 --> 01:14:56,219
minutes and Counting again from that

1960
01:14:59,930 --> 01:14:57,840
opening of the two-hour window we have

1961
01:15:01,970 --> 01:14:59,940
today Kayla if you thought you were

1962
01:15:05,209 --> 01:15:01,980
excited you have got to check out this

1963
01:15:11,149 --> 01:15:08,050
foreign

1964
01:15:12,830 --> 01:15:11,159
this is really cool we got some children

1965
01:15:14,630 --> 01:15:12,840
that are on a bus and they're going to

1966
01:15:16,490 --> 01:15:14,640
come here to the Vehicle Assembly

1967
01:15:18,410 --> 01:15:16,500
Building and the administrator and I are

1968
01:15:20,510 --> 01:15:18,420
going to jump on the bus and surprise

1969
01:15:23,689 --> 01:15:20,520
them we're going to give them the

1970
01:15:26,950 --> 01:15:23,699
opportunity to come in and go up the

1971
01:15:39,370 --> 01:15:26,960
elevator with the rocket

1972
01:15:42,490 --> 01:15:42,050
hey guys would you like to see a moon

1973
01:15:45,649 --> 01:15:42,500
rocket

1974
01:15:48,770 --> 01:15:45,659
[Applause]

1975
01:15:51,890 --> 01:15:48,780
because it is the future of our country

1976
01:15:55,209 --> 01:15:51,900
and indeed the future of the world uh

1977
01:15:57,950 --> 01:15:55,219
and we saw what our space program does

1978
01:16:00,169 --> 01:15:57,960
for Science and Technology and

1979
01:16:01,780 --> 01:16:00,179
Engineering and Mathematics we saw that

1980
01:16:04,209 --> 01:16:01,790
in the Apollo generation

1981
01:16:14,810 --> 01:16:04,219
[Music]

1982
01:16:17,750 --> 01:16:14,820
what I hope to achieve today is

1983
01:16:19,669 --> 01:16:17,760
inspiring a new generation I mean the

1984
01:16:22,490 --> 01:16:19,679
more people that we can get to see up

1985
01:16:25,550 --> 01:16:22,500
close and personal this rocket it just

1986
01:16:28,430 --> 01:16:25,560
it's awe-inspiring and I cannot wait

1987
01:16:29,570 --> 01:16:28,440
till the launch when America sees our

1988
01:16:32,330 --> 01:16:29,580
rocket

1989
01:16:34,610 --> 01:16:32,340
actually launch on a test flight to the

1990
01:16:36,830 --> 01:16:34,620
Moon you know it's just going to spark a

1991
01:16:40,010 --> 01:16:36,840
whole new push for what we are doing

1992
01:16:41,930 --> 01:16:40,020
best day of my whole life ever is going

1993
01:16:44,450 --> 01:16:41,940
to be incredible it was a dream come

1994
01:16:47,330 --> 01:16:44,460
true the song is definitely going to the

1995
01:16:48,530 --> 01:16:47,340
Moon I think it's really amazing I was

1996
01:16:50,350 --> 01:16:48,540
actually really excited because I've

1997
01:16:53,810 --> 01:16:50,360
never seen a rocket like this close-up

1998
01:16:56,390 --> 01:16:53,820
now we have the Artemis generation this

1999
01:16:59,570 --> 01:16:56,400
is a new generation of us going back to

2000
01:17:01,610 --> 01:16:59,580
the Moon to learn and live and then

2001
01:17:04,310 --> 01:17:01,620
we're going to Mars

2002
01:17:07,189 --> 01:17:04,320
yes

2003
01:17:10,370 --> 01:17:07,199
I told you they were so excited they're

2004
01:17:11,930 --> 01:17:10,380
so cute they're faces it was amazing I

2005
01:17:13,729 --> 01:17:11,940
think my face looked pretty similar the

2006
01:17:15,229 --> 01:17:13,739
first time I walked into the VAB and

2007
01:17:17,090 --> 01:17:15,239
looked up at that rocket I mean the

2008
01:17:18,830 --> 01:17:17,100
building is huge and standing at the

2009
01:17:21,709 --> 01:17:18,840
base of the rocket just takes your

2010
01:17:23,630 --> 01:17:21,719
breath away the scale of it you know 322

2011
01:17:26,570 --> 01:17:23,640
feet especially stacked on its end like

2012
01:17:28,250 --> 01:17:26,580
that is just amazing so I almost relived

2013
01:17:30,229 --> 01:17:28,260
my first time in the VAB through their

2014
01:17:31,850 --> 01:17:30,239
eyes and it was really cool there was

2015
01:17:33,470 --> 01:17:31,860
this opportunity where they got to just

2016
01:17:34,550 --> 01:17:33,480
ask any questions they wanted I was

2017
01:17:36,410 --> 01:17:34,560
there so they were asking me questions

2018
01:17:39,350 --> 01:17:36,420
they were asking the administrator

2019
01:17:41,630 --> 01:17:39,360
um uh Bob Cabana as well and they just

2020
01:17:43,550 --> 01:17:41,640
hands shot up they just had questions

2021
01:17:44,689 --> 01:17:43,560
and then sometimes I didn't really know

2022
01:17:45,950 --> 01:17:44,699
the answer and they're like well it's

2023
01:17:48,169 --> 01:17:45,960
this and I was like oh my God they know

2024
01:17:50,209 --> 01:17:48,179
so much and they're so interested in it

2025
01:17:51,950 --> 01:17:50,219
I mean again this is why we're doing

2026
01:17:54,350 --> 01:17:51,960
this this is this is part of the

2027
01:17:56,090 --> 01:17:54,360
inspiring the Next Generation absolutely

2028
01:17:58,490 --> 01:17:56,100
whenever I get a chance to interact with

2029
01:17:59,870 --> 01:17:58,500
with kids kind of of any age all the way

2030
01:18:00,890 --> 01:17:59,880
from elementary school up through

2031
01:18:02,750 --> 01:18:00,900
college

2032
01:18:04,430 --> 01:18:02,760
the human space flight program and

2033
01:18:06,530 --> 01:18:04,440
Artemis in particular I think really

2034
01:18:08,270 --> 01:18:06,540
captures people's imagination and gets

2035
01:18:10,310 --> 01:18:08,280
them interested in everything it takes

2036
01:18:12,530 --> 01:18:10,320
to do something so daring and so

2037
01:18:14,149 --> 01:18:12,540
complicated yeah and actually before we

2038
01:18:16,310 --> 01:18:14,159
move on an interesting note about the

2039
01:18:18,830 --> 01:18:16,320
opening music in that video it's an

2040
01:18:20,990 --> 01:18:18,840
original composition called the Artemis

2041
01:18:23,149 --> 01:18:21,000
generation performed by the Cooper

2042
01:18:24,709 --> 01:18:23,159
Middle School Band percussion section of

2043
01:18:27,110 --> 01:18:24,719
McLean Virginia

2044
01:18:29,209 --> 01:18:27,120
and to continue to inspire the Artemis

2045
01:18:30,950 --> 01:18:29,219
generation NASA invited students to take

2046
01:18:33,110 --> 01:18:30,960
part in a national essay contest

2047
01:18:35,510 --> 01:18:33,120
challenging them to imagine what it'd be

2048
01:18:37,250 --> 01:18:35,520
like to lead a week-long mission to the

2049
01:18:41,270 --> 01:18:37,260
moon's South Pole here's the first

2050
01:18:46,910 --> 01:18:43,970
I gazed out of our moonpod window just

2051
01:18:51,530 --> 01:18:46,920
before it was time to exit my crew 3 and

2052
01:18:56,630 --> 01:18:53,870
our crew consisted of a botanist an

2053
01:18:58,490 --> 01:18:56,640
engineer a doctor and me an

2054
01:19:00,169 --> 01:18:58,500
astrobiologist

2055
01:19:01,850 --> 01:19:00,179
we've been picked because of how well we

2056
01:19:03,649 --> 01:19:01,860
got along together with our

2057
01:19:07,490 --> 01:19:03,659
complementary stem backgrounds and our

2058
01:19:12,229 --> 01:19:09,590
Houston this is Artemis crew one

2059
01:19:14,320 --> 01:19:12,239
initiating airlock sequence I set a

2060
01:19:15,490 --> 01:19:14,330
Roman microphone

2061
01:19:18,229 --> 01:19:15,500
[Music]

2062
01:19:20,530 --> 01:19:18,239
I looked at my crewmates and as I

2063
01:19:24,710 --> 01:19:20,540
stepped over the Pod I felt so gratified

2064
01:19:28,930 --> 01:19:24,720
becoming the first woman on the moon

2065
01:19:33,290 --> 01:19:31,669
our purpose was to set up a moon habitat

2066
01:19:34,610 --> 01:19:33,300
containing the four things needed to

2067
01:19:37,490 --> 01:19:34,620
keep a crew safe

2068
01:19:40,310 --> 01:19:37,500
oxygen and clean water a Waste Disposal

2069
01:19:41,689 --> 01:19:40,320
system the veggie project for food and a

2070
01:19:44,390 --> 01:19:41,699
protective outside shell made of

2071
01:19:46,669 --> 01:19:44,400
regolith and mycelium

2072
01:19:48,649 --> 01:19:46,679
we will build it over the next week and

2073
01:19:53,290 --> 01:19:48,659
it will be used by other astronauts for

2074
01:19:58,010 --> 01:19:56,510
embarking on this incredible Adventure I

2075
01:20:00,410 --> 01:19:58,020
couldn't help but be grateful to be

2076
01:20:03,590 --> 01:20:00,420
given this opportunity to the most

2077
01:20:09,410 --> 01:20:03,600
remarkable crew and to know that I was a

2078
01:20:13,570 --> 01:20:11,450
so that was beautifully written by Taya

2079
01:20:16,490 --> 01:20:13,580
Sauer of Laguna California

2080
01:20:18,950 --> 01:20:16,500
and she was one of three essay winners

2081
01:20:21,890 --> 01:20:18,960
the two others were Austin pritz of

2082
01:20:23,870 --> 01:20:21,900
Walcott Indiana and Amanda Gutierrez of

2083
01:20:26,510 --> 01:20:23,880
Lincoln Nebraska if you want to check

2084
01:20:28,910 --> 01:20:26,520
out their essays you can scan the QR

2085
01:20:31,250 --> 01:20:28,920
code you see on the screen the three of

2086
01:20:33,110 --> 01:20:31,260
them beat out nearly 14

2087
01:20:34,430 --> 01:20:33,120
000 students who submitted Sac

2088
01:20:38,030 --> 01:20:34,440
definitely want to check out the other

2089
01:20:40,370 --> 01:20:38,040
two Again by scanning this QR code

2090
01:20:42,110 --> 01:20:40,380
so right now you're looking live at uh

2091
01:20:44,570 --> 01:20:42,120
right outside of Kennedy Space Center's

2092
01:20:47,030 --> 01:20:44,580
visitor complex we have uh plenty of

2093
01:20:48,890 --> 01:20:47,040
bleachers set out to accommodate as you

2094
01:20:50,810 --> 01:20:48,900
can see a lot of guests that are hoping

2095
01:20:52,490 --> 01:20:50,820
to see uh the launch today so why don't

2096
01:20:55,010 --> 01:20:52,500
we go in there and check back in with

2097
01:20:57,530 --> 01:20:55,020
NASA's Leo Martin

2098
01:21:01,250 --> 01:20:57,540
Hi Megan yeah this place is filling up

2099
01:21:06,229 --> 01:21:03,890
talking and you know we just heard about

2100
01:21:08,450 --> 01:21:06,239
those Artemis Moon pod essay winners who

2101
01:21:09,770 --> 01:21:08,460
are part of the Artemis generation also

2102
01:21:11,510 --> 01:21:09,780
joining me tonight from the Artemis

2103
01:21:13,790 --> 01:21:11,520
generation we have two students who were

2104
01:21:15,410 --> 01:21:13,800
actually able to come down and visit at

2105
01:21:17,689 --> 01:21:15,420
Kennedy Space Center to watch this

2106
01:21:20,510 --> 01:21:17,699
launch live tonight I'm joined here by

2107
01:21:22,490 --> 01:21:20,520
Denim and Allison how does it feel to be

2108
01:21:24,290 --> 01:21:22,500
here tonight

2109
01:21:25,910 --> 01:21:24,300
um really I was just when I first found

2110
01:21:28,370 --> 01:21:25,920
out I was really nervous I didn't really

2111
01:21:29,570 --> 01:21:28,380
know what to expect like we really just

2112
01:21:32,570 --> 01:21:29,580
looked at each other and we kind of

2113
01:21:35,330 --> 01:21:32,580
screamed just out of excitement how did

2114
01:21:37,130 --> 01:21:35,340
you feel honestly it was like amazing it

2115
01:21:39,050 --> 01:21:37,140
was surreal like that we have this

2116
01:21:41,450 --> 01:21:39,060
opportunity out of so many people who

2117
01:21:43,370 --> 01:21:41,460
applied for this it was like outstanding

2118
01:21:45,110 --> 01:21:43,380
and you guys actually got to take a tour

2119
01:21:46,669 --> 01:21:45,120
of Kennedy Space Center a little bit

2120
01:21:48,169 --> 01:21:46,679
earlier this week what was something

2121
01:21:51,290 --> 01:21:48,179
that you got to see that was just really

2122
01:21:54,169 --> 01:21:51,300
outstanding I think it was the shuttle

2123
01:21:56,510 --> 01:21:54,179
experience like how it is when the

2124
01:21:59,390 --> 01:21:56,520
rocket ship goes on up with people in it

2125
01:22:01,070 --> 01:21:59,400
it was honestly really fun doing it and

2126
01:22:03,350 --> 01:22:01,080
learning like how they feel at the

2127
01:22:04,970 --> 01:22:03,360
moment and denim what do you think it

2128
01:22:07,250 --> 01:22:04,980
will be like to watch the world's most

2129
01:22:09,470 --> 01:22:07,260
powerful rocket launch tonight from just

2130
01:22:10,910 --> 01:22:09,480
across the river well really I don't

2131
01:22:13,130 --> 01:22:10,920
really know what to expect because I

2132
01:22:14,390 --> 01:22:13,140
never really done this before but I I

2133
01:22:16,550 --> 01:22:14,400
feel like it would really be outstanding

2134
01:22:18,950 --> 01:22:16,560
I might shed a little tear but

2135
01:22:20,689 --> 01:22:18,960
um I don't really know like I was I'm

2136
01:22:23,930 --> 01:22:20,699
really excited to be here and I just

2137
01:22:25,070 --> 01:22:23,940
it's amazing like it is amazing and I

2138
01:22:27,350 --> 01:22:25,080
don't think you're going to be the only

2139
01:22:29,570 --> 01:22:27,360
one shedding tears tonight Megan we're

2140
01:22:31,550 --> 01:22:29,580
super excited eyes on the Artemis and

2141
01:22:33,470 --> 01:22:31,560
we're ready to see the launch

2142
01:22:34,729 --> 01:22:33,480
thanks so much guys

2143
01:22:36,229 --> 01:22:34,739
now Kayla are you ready for more

2144
01:22:38,390 --> 01:22:36,239
questions from social media we're

2145
01:22:39,590 --> 01:22:38,400
getting them in always all right let's

2146
01:22:43,550 --> 01:22:39,600
take a look at the screen now we have

2147
01:22:48,410 --> 01:22:46,070
hey I'm Kiki Palmer and I play Izzy

2148
01:22:51,890 --> 01:22:48,420
Hawthorne and Pixar's light year and I

2149
01:22:54,350 --> 01:22:51,900
can't wait to see Artemis 1 launch today

2150
01:22:56,090 --> 01:22:54,360
how we're going back to the Moon paved

2151
01:22:58,430 --> 01:22:56,100
the way to Mars

2152
01:23:00,709 --> 01:22:58,440
thank you Katie yeah what an awesome

2153
01:23:02,450 --> 01:23:00,719
question for tonight I mean the return

2154
01:23:04,610 --> 01:23:02,460
to the moon is going to give us a chance

2155
01:23:07,250 --> 01:23:04,620
to test all of the capabilities we need

2156
01:23:09,290 --> 01:23:07,260
to operate on Mars Mars is really far

2157
01:23:11,270 --> 01:23:09,300
from now it's going to take us six

2158
01:23:13,850 --> 01:23:11,280
months just to get there and that's with

2159
01:23:16,070 --> 01:23:13,860
ideal planetary alignment and expected

2160
01:23:17,689 --> 01:23:16,080
advances in propulsion technology then

2161
01:23:19,370 --> 01:23:17,699
we'll spend about a year plus on the

2162
01:23:21,169 --> 01:23:19,380
surface before it's in you know six

2163
01:23:22,790 --> 01:23:21,179
months home and so the Moon is a lot

2164
01:23:24,950 --> 01:23:22,800
closer we can get there in three days

2165
01:23:27,649 --> 01:23:24,960
the communications delay is a lot

2166
01:23:29,450 --> 01:23:27,659
shorter and so we can really test our

2167
01:23:31,910 --> 01:23:29,460
operational Concepts a lot closer to

2168
01:23:33,649 --> 01:23:31,920
home the moon's super far away it's 250

2169
01:23:35,330 --> 01:23:33,659
000 miles but that's way closer than

2170
01:23:37,970 --> 01:23:35,340
Mars so it's going to give us a chance

2171
01:23:40,310 --> 01:23:37,980
to test all of our Technologies so that

2172
01:23:42,830 --> 01:23:40,320
we know what we need to develop in order

2173
01:23:45,169 --> 01:23:42,840
to take that next step yeah it's a we

2174
01:23:47,750 --> 01:23:45,179
call it the next giant step for a reason

2175
01:23:49,610 --> 01:23:47,760
Mars is very very far like you said all

2176
01:23:52,669 --> 01:23:49,620
right let's take another question from

2177
01:23:54,470 --> 01:23:52,679
social media Kayla what inspired you to

2178
01:23:56,030 --> 01:23:54,480
be an astronaut

2179
01:23:57,470 --> 01:23:56,040
you know my journey was a little bit

2180
01:23:59,209 --> 01:23:57,480
different than some of my colleagues I

2181
01:24:00,830 --> 01:23:59,219
didn't grow up specifically dreaming of

2182
01:24:02,870 --> 01:24:00,840
becoming an astronaut I don't know what

2183
01:24:04,490 --> 01:24:02,880
the barrier was there I was aware of and

2184
01:24:06,110 --> 01:24:04,500
inspired by the space program but I

2185
01:24:08,450 --> 01:24:06,120
never allowed myself to dream of

2186
01:24:10,430 --> 01:24:08,460
becoming an astronaut until I had served

2187
01:24:12,530 --> 01:24:10,440
on a submarine actually

2188
01:24:14,450 --> 01:24:12,540
um I think that operational experience

2189
01:24:15,770 --> 01:24:14,460
that's so similar to what we do in the

2190
01:24:17,750 --> 01:24:15,780
space program if you think about it

2191
01:24:19,490 --> 01:24:17,760
we're sending humans to live work and do

2192
01:24:20,990 --> 01:24:19,500
something of importance in a place where

2193
01:24:23,149 --> 01:24:21,000
people aren't supposed to be the depths

2194
01:24:25,250 --> 01:24:23,159
of the ocean or the vacuum of space and

2195
01:24:26,810 --> 01:24:25,260
so I think those experiences gave me the

2196
01:24:29,390 --> 01:24:26,820
confidence to even dream that I could

2197
01:24:31,189 --> 01:24:29,400
become an astronaut and then inspired me

2198
01:24:33,229 --> 01:24:31,199
to apply in the first place and that

2199
01:24:34,669 --> 01:24:33,239
doesn't deter you again like being in a

2200
01:24:37,010 --> 01:24:34,679
place where yeah we're not supposed to

2201
01:24:39,950 --> 01:24:37,020
be a confined space at that

2202
01:24:41,330 --> 01:24:39,960
yeah I think those parallels the I I got

2203
01:24:43,430 --> 01:24:41,340
a chance to meet an astronaut after

2204
01:24:45,169 --> 01:24:43,440
serving on my submarine K hire who's

2205
01:24:47,990 --> 01:24:45,179
also a Naval Academy graduate class of

2206
01:24:50,990 --> 01:24:48,000
1981 and hearing about her experiences

2207
01:24:53,149 --> 01:24:51,000
working on the space station really made

2208
01:24:55,130 --> 01:24:53,159
me click all of a sudden I said this the

2209
01:24:57,229 --> 01:24:55,140
Space Station's a submarine in space yes

2210
01:24:59,090 --> 01:24:57,239
and it sounds silly but I never made

2211
01:25:00,770 --> 01:24:59,100
that connection before and once I did I

2212
01:25:02,390 --> 01:25:00,780
just couldn't stop dreaming about it oh

2213
01:25:05,510 --> 01:25:02,400
that's so cool I love that your story

2214
01:25:06,470 --> 01:25:05,520
isn't uh uh you know the typical one as

2215
01:25:08,030 --> 01:25:06,480
he said

2216
01:25:10,130 --> 01:25:08,040
okay I think we have time for one more

2217
01:25:14,570 --> 01:25:10,140
question

2218
01:25:16,610 --> 01:25:14,580
ah is Snoopy ready and excited of course

2219
01:25:18,890 --> 01:25:16,620
I think like any crew member Snoopy's

2220
01:25:20,510 --> 01:25:18,900
been training for this moment he knows

2221
01:25:22,010 --> 01:25:20,520
what to expect in a nominal and an

2222
01:25:24,110 --> 01:25:22,020
off-nominal launch and all the actions

2223
01:25:26,149 --> 01:25:24,120
expected of him so like any good crew

2224
01:25:28,130 --> 01:25:26,159
member he's ready to go and he has a

2225
01:25:30,050 --> 01:25:28,140
suit that's been tailored to him it's

2226
01:25:32,149 --> 01:25:30,060
especially made for him the way that the

2227
01:25:33,830 --> 01:25:32,159
astronaut suits are especially made for

2228
01:25:35,750 --> 01:25:33,840
them so yeah I think he's ready yeah

2229
01:25:38,149 --> 01:25:35,760
seeing the Moon up close he's ready to

2230
01:25:40,370 --> 01:25:38,159
go so keep those questions coming use

2231
01:25:41,570 --> 01:25:40,380
that hashtag Artemis and tweet or drop

2232
01:25:43,189 --> 01:25:41,580
them in the comments wherever you're

2233
01:25:46,790 --> 01:25:43,199
watching this broadcast and don't forget

2234
01:25:49,850 --> 01:25:46,800
those NASA Moon snaps hashtag NASA Moon

2235
01:25:52,310 --> 01:25:49,860
snap for your moon inspired content

2236
01:25:53,870 --> 01:25:52,320
okay we are now 37 minutes from the

2237
01:25:55,970 --> 01:25:53,880
opening of our two hour launch window

2238
01:25:58,189 --> 01:25:55,980
today let's check check back in with

2239
01:26:00,169 --> 01:25:58,199
Daryl uh with the launch Team

2240
01:26:02,689 --> 01:26:00,179
yeah we've had a couple of issues that

2241
01:26:05,570 --> 01:26:02,699
the launch team has been working and we

2242
01:26:08,510 --> 01:26:05,580
have an update on both of those first of

2243
01:26:11,090 --> 01:26:08,520
all uh is the leak the liquid hydrogen

2244
01:26:12,770 --> 01:26:11,100
leak and the replenish valve out at the

2245
01:26:14,870 --> 01:26:12,780
mobile launcher we understand from the

2246
01:26:17,629 --> 01:26:14,880
launch team that that leak has not

2247
01:26:20,810 --> 01:26:17,639
recurred the work that happened out at

2248
01:26:22,970 --> 01:26:20,820
the pad is that the red crew and the

2249
01:26:26,629 --> 01:26:22,980
work that they did out there remedied

2250
01:26:29,209 --> 01:26:26,639
the leak that's good news and now the

2251
01:26:33,890 --> 01:26:29,219
liquid hydrogen tank on the core stage

2252
01:26:37,129 --> 01:26:33,900
is back in replenish at this moment and

2253
01:26:41,209 --> 01:26:37,139
the upper stage of the rocket liquid

2254
01:26:43,129 --> 01:26:41,219
hydrogen side is in fast fill you can

2255
01:26:45,890 --> 01:26:43,139
see from the graphic there that we are

2256
01:26:48,050 --> 01:26:45,900
back up to 100 over on the liquid

2257
01:26:50,149 --> 01:26:48,060
hydrogen side on the right hand of the

2258
01:26:52,550 --> 01:26:50,159
screen on the left hand of the screen

2259
01:26:55,970 --> 01:26:52,560
you can see we have been in stable

2260
01:26:58,370 --> 01:26:55,980
replenish for liquid oxygen

2261
01:27:00,830 --> 01:26:58,380
now with regards to the range they

2262
01:27:04,030 --> 01:27:00,840
reported that they had an issue to the

2263
01:27:07,970 --> 01:27:04,040
NASA test director with their Radar Site

2264
01:27:11,450 --> 01:27:07,980
later found out that that was actually a

2265
01:27:14,030 --> 01:27:11,460
bad ethernet switch that was uh cutting

2266
01:27:16,010 --> 01:27:14,040
out and not providing them the data the

2267
01:27:17,990 --> 01:27:16,020
range reported that they will swap out

2268
01:27:20,510 --> 01:27:18,000
that bad switch

2269
01:27:23,810 --> 01:27:20,520
and they're currently working on that

2270
01:27:25,490 --> 01:27:23,820
they advised at the time about uh a half

2271
01:27:27,530 --> 01:27:25,500
hour ago that it would take them about

2272
01:27:30,709 --> 01:27:27,540
70 minutes

2273
01:27:33,290 --> 01:27:30,719
or about 25 minutes into that work they

2274
01:27:35,570 --> 01:27:33,300
did uh just recently update the NASA

2275
01:27:37,729 --> 01:27:35,580
test director to say that uh it's going

2276
01:27:39,950 --> 01:27:37,739
to take them a little bit longer because

2277
01:27:42,410 --> 01:27:39,960
they're going to need to re-verify this

2278
01:27:45,709 --> 01:27:42,420
ethernet equipment once they have it

2279
01:27:47,810 --> 01:27:45,719
installed again that work is ongoing but

2280
01:27:51,709 --> 01:27:47,820
at the moment if we were launching right

2281
01:27:53,930 --> 01:27:51,719
now the range is no go as a result of

2282
01:27:57,430 --> 01:27:53,940
that bad ethernet switch

2283
01:28:00,110 --> 01:27:57,440
the dolly Loop file which helps steer

2284
01:28:02,990 --> 01:28:00,120
the space launch system through the

2285
01:28:04,970 --> 01:28:03,000
upper atmosphere has been uploaded to

2286
01:28:07,550 --> 01:28:04,980
the rocket and so we're good to go there

2287
01:28:10,550 --> 01:28:07,560
in terms of other configurations that

2288
01:28:12,350 --> 01:28:10,560
are ongoing but we are continuing to

2289
01:28:14,510 --> 01:28:12,360
monitor Communications the launch Team

2290
01:28:18,530 --> 01:28:14,520
about holding to the top of the window

2291
01:28:21,709 --> 01:28:18,540
currently slated for 104 a.m eastern

2292
01:28:23,870 --> 01:28:21,719
time but we do have two hours and we

2293
01:28:26,330 --> 01:28:23,880
have yet to see whether or not the

2294
01:28:28,850 --> 01:28:26,340
launch team has is going to be able to

2295
01:28:31,729 --> 01:28:28,860
make enough adjustments in order to hit

2296
01:28:33,770 --> 01:28:31,739
the top of that window no slip yet but

2297
01:28:36,350 --> 01:28:33,780
we're monitoring their work and we'll

2298
01:28:37,610 --> 01:28:36,360
give you an update when we have it back

2299
01:28:39,530 --> 01:28:37,620
to you Megan

2300
01:28:41,750 --> 01:28:39,540
thank you Daryl really great news about

2301
01:28:43,850 --> 01:28:41,760
uh that leak Kayla and I actually said

2302
01:28:45,950 --> 01:28:43,860
wow that's really great news so we'll uh

2303
01:28:47,750 --> 01:28:45,960
wait on your next update let's go back

2304
01:28:50,270 --> 01:28:47,760
live now to Kennedy Space Center's

2305
01:28:51,890 --> 01:28:50,280
visitor complex where we have NASA's Dan

2306
01:28:54,890 --> 01:28:51,900
Hewitt inside there with our new moon

2307
01:28:57,410 --> 01:28:54,900
board Dan let's focus in on Orion now it

2308
01:28:59,689 --> 01:28:57,420
has three main elements right that's

2309
01:29:01,370 --> 01:28:59,699
right Megan and Orion is the spacecraft

2310
01:29:03,229 --> 01:29:01,380
that's going to be carrying our Artemis

2311
01:29:05,209 --> 01:29:03,239
astronauts off of planet Earth and then

2312
01:29:06,950 --> 01:29:05,219
returning them home as you said three

2313
01:29:08,750 --> 01:29:06,960
major components so we'll jump in here

2314
01:29:11,330 --> 01:29:08,760
at the top with the first one the launch

2315
01:29:13,430 --> 01:29:11,340
abort system this is a critical safety

2316
01:29:15,709 --> 01:29:13,440
feature on Orion designed to pull the

2317
01:29:17,689 --> 01:29:15,719
capsule away from the SLS stack in the

2318
01:29:20,390 --> 01:29:17,699
event of an emergency on the pad or the

2319
01:29:22,370 --> 01:29:20,400
way uphill and it does that using three

2320
01:29:24,649 --> 01:29:22,380
solid rocket Motors the first one the

2321
01:29:26,450 --> 01:29:24,659
abort motor can Fire Within milliseconds

2322
01:29:28,669 --> 01:29:26,460
of automatically detecting an issue

2323
01:29:30,890 --> 01:29:28,679
pulling the capsule away to a safe

2324
01:29:33,169 --> 01:29:30,900
distance after that the attitude

2325
01:29:35,390 --> 01:29:33,179
adjustment motor this one will fire we

2326
01:29:37,550 --> 01:29:35,400
can cancel out any rates put us into a

2327
01:29:40,250 --> 01:29:37,560
nice stable Glide before we get ready to

2328
01:29:42,229 --> 01:29:40,260
to fire the jettison motor this is the

2329
01:29:44,570 --> 01:29:42,239
one that will actually take the launcher

2330
01:29:46,490 --> 01:29:44,580
board system off of Orion allowing it to

2331
01:29:48,410 --> 01:29:46,500
then deploy parachutes and parachute

2332
01:29:50,390 --> 01:29:48,420
down to safety I will note that jettison

2333
01:29:52,550 --> 01:29:50,400
motor the only one that fires no matter

2334
01:29:54,110 --> 01:29:52,560
what on a normal Mission it's gonna fire

2335
01:29:56,090 --> 01:29:54,120
once we're high enough in the atmosphere

2336
01:29:58,129 --> 01:29:56,100
and for Artemis one that is the only

2337
01:30:00,590 --> 01:29:58,139
motor on this that is active the

2338
01:30:02,689 --> 01:30:00,600
attitude and abort Motors are inert for

2339
01:30:04,669 --> 01:30:02,699
Artemis one and that's all focused on

2340
01:30:06,590 --> 01:30:04,679
protecting this the Orion crew module

2341
01:30:09,530 --> 01:30:06,600
this is where you have your astronauts

2342
01:30:11,149 --> 01:30:09,540
physically inside in the capsule you

2343
01:30:13,790 --> 01:30:11,159
have everything you need to keep a crew

2344
01:30:16,189 --> 01:30:13,800
safe happy healthy thriving in deep

2345
01:30:18,649 --> 01:30:16,199
space you have a pressurized environment

2346
01:30:20,990 --> 01:30:18,659
seats crew displays toilet everything

2347
01:30:23,330 --> 01:30:21,000
that you need on the outside couple of

2348
01:30:25,010 --> 01:30:23,340
critical features on the bottom the heat

2349
01:30:26,870 --> 01:30:25,020
shield remember this is goal number one

2350
01:30:28,910 --> 01:30:26,880
for this mission is testing that heat

2351
01:30:31,010 --> 01:30:28,920
shield it's an ablative structure made

2352
01:30:32,870 --> 01:30:31,020
to survive that fiery re-entry at the

2353
01:30:35,270 --> 01:30:32,880
end of a mission along the outside you

2354
01:30:37,189 --> 01:30:35,280
still see these small gray circles those

2355
01:30:39,410 --> 01:30:37,199
are reaction control system thrusters

2356
01:30:41,330 --> 01:30:39,420
Orion can use that at the very end to

2357
01:30:43,370 --> 01:30:41,340
control the yaw pitch and roll as it's

2358
01:30:45,050 --> 01:30:43,380
hurtling through the atmosphere we have

2359
01:30:48,050 --> 01:30:45,060
Windows you need Windows to look outside

2360
01:30:50,030 --> 01:30:48,060
two on the front two on the sides one on

2361
01:30:51,709 --> 01:30:50,040
the side hatch one up top in the very

2362
01:30:53,870 --> 01:30:51,719
top docking hatch those are different

2363
01:30:55,669 --> 01:30:53,880
layers of glass and acrylics for

2364
01:30:57,310 --> 01:30:55,679
pressure and thermal control we have a

2365
01:31:00,169 --> 01:30:57,320
docking system an operating system

2366
01:31:02,570 --> 01:31:00,179
parachutes all for the very end of the

2367
01:31:04,129 --> 01:31:02,580
mission third and final piece down here

2368
01:31:06,410 --> 01:31:04,139
at the bottom the European service

2369
01:31:09,290 --> 01:31:06,420
module this has all of the propulsion

2370
01:31:11,930 --> 01:31:09,300
assets for after SLS has done its job

2371
01:31:13,550 --> 01:31:11,940
starting on the bottom the large orbital

2372
01:31:15,110 --> 01:31:13,560
maneuvering system engine this is the

2373
01:31:17,090 --> 01:31:15,120
one that's providing the most thrust for

2374
01:31:19,729 --> 01:31:17,100
all of those key maneuvers around the

2375
01:31:22,129 --> 01:31:19,739
Moon eight auxiliary thrusters also

2376
01:31:23,510 --> 01:31:22,139
around the after the bottom part of the

2377
01:31:26,330 --> 01:31:23,520
service module to provide some

2378
01:31:28,430 --> 01:31:26,340
additional push as well and then 24 of

2379
01:31:30,530 --> 01:31:28,440
these smaller reaction control system

2380
01:31:32,390 --> 01:31:30,540
thrusters they can be used for attitude

2381
01:31:34,189 --> 01:31:32,400
control which way you're pointing as

2382
01:31:36,350 --> 01:31:34,199
well as small translational Maneuvers

2383
01:31:38,629 --> 01:31:36,360
moving side to side we flip the vehicle

2384
01:31:41,330 --> 01:31:38,639
up we see four solar arrays each one 24

2385
01:31:43,550 --> 01:31:41,340
feet in length altogether generating 11

2386
01:31:46,070 --> 01:31:43,560
kilowatts of electrical power for Orion

2387
01:31:47,990 --> 01:31:46,080
systems inside the service module you

2388
01:31:50,149 --> 01:31:48,000
have tanks for things like the thermal

2389
01:31:52,490 --> 01:31:50,159
control system potable water when we

2390
01:31:54,350 --> 01:31:52,500
have a crew on board and also pressurize

2391
01:31:56,330 --> 01:31:54,360
oxygen and nitrogen for an atmosphere

2392
01:31:58,129 --> 01:31:56,340
which gets fed through this umbilical

2393
01:31:59,689 --> 01:31:58,139
here to the crew module along with

2394
01:32:01,550 --> 01:31:59,699
electrical lines that's also what's

2395
01:32:03,410 --> 01:32:01,560
going to separate us at the very end of

2396
01:32:05,450 --> 01:32:03,420
the mission so that's Orion it's going

2397
01:32:07,850 --> 01:32:05,460
to be making its first flight around the

2398
01:32:09,830 --> 01:32:07,860
Moon on Artemis one can't wait to see it

2399
01:32:12,169 --> 01:32:09,840
taking those selfies around our lunar

2400
01:32:14,990 --> 01:32:12,179
neighbor send it back over to you Megan

2401
01:32:16,910 --> 01:32:15,000
thanks Dan that last component Dan

2402
01:32:19,010 --> 01:32:16,920
talked about the European service module

2403
01:32:22,250 --> 01:32:19,020
provided by the European Space Agency

2404
01:32:24,950 --> 01:32:22,260
let's go to Jasmine for that

2405
01:32:26,750 --> 01:32:24,960
thank you Megan we are back in firing

2406
01:32:29,629 --> 01:32:26,760
room two the launch control center and

2407
01:32:31,790 --> 01:32:29,639
joining us now is Philippe de Lou esa's

2408
01:32:33,830 --> 01:32:31,800
program manager for the Orion European

2409
01:32:36,410 --> 01:32:33,840
service module you have quite the title

2410
01:32:38,330 --> 01:32:36,420
there big title for a big job I'm sure

2411
01:32:40,070 --> 01:32:38,340
we are very glad to have you here and we

2412
01:32:41,810 --> 01:32:40,080
understand that the European service

2413
01:32:43,850 --> 01:32:41,820
module is powering Orion that's going to

2414
01:32:46,129 --> 01:32:43,860
send Humanity farther than ever before

2415
01:32:48,590 --> 01:32:46,139
Philippe how is it getting us there yeah

2416
01:32:50,810 --> 01:32:48,600
thank you good evening everyone so yes

2417
01:32:54,649 --> 01:32:50,820
the service module accommodates the

2418
01:32:57,110 --> 01:32:54,659
propulsion system system that contains

2419
01:33:02,330 --> 01:32:57,120
among the tanks and the pressurization

2420
01:33:05,270 --> 01:33:02,340
of the system the engine all the engines

2421
01:33:07,610 --> 01:33:05,280
33 engines total among which the main

2422
01:33:12,229 --> 01:33:07,620
engine which which is going to perform

2423
01:33:16,250 --> 01:33:12,239
the burns to put Orion into the moon

2424
01:33:19,729 --> 01:33:16,260
orbit and then back on the trajectory to

2425
01:33:22,850 --> 01:33:19,739
return to Earth the other engines are

2426
01:33:25,729 --> 01:33:22,860
used for attitude correction during uh

2427
01:33:28,790 --> 01:33:25,739
sorry attitude control and trajectory

2428
01:33:32,030 --> 01:33:28,800
correction during the travel to the Boon

2429
01:33:34,250 --> 01:33:32,040
in addition to the propulsion system the

2430
01:33:37,910 --> 01:33:34,260
service module generates the power and

2431
01:33:40,729 --> 01:33:37,920
distributes the the electricity to the

2432
01:33:43,189 --> 01:33:40,739
crew module and the service module

2433
01:33:46,250 --> 01:33:43,199
equipment so that they can operate

2434
01:33:50,570 --> 01:33:46,260
and the third function is the thermal

2435
01:33:52,370 --> 01:33:50,580
control of the system the service module

2436
01:33:54,229 --> 01:33:52,380
accommodates the radiators to reject the

2437
01:33:56,149 --> 01:33:54,239
heat that is produced by all the

2438
01:34:00,110 --> 01:33:56,159
equipment and the crew that will

2439
01:34:00,669 --> 01:34:00,120
eventually be in the Orion

2440
01:34:04,729 --> 01:34:00,679
um

2441
01:34:09,310 --> 01:34:08,330
not an Artemis one but on future Artemis

2442
01:34:12,770 --> 01:34:09,320
Mission

2443
01:34:14,870 --> 01:34:12,780
it will have thanks to store the crew

2444
01:34:17,750 --> 01:34:14,880
consumable the water the oxygen and

2445
01:34:19,729 --> 01:34:17,760
nitrogen right so we understand too that

2446
01:34:22,070 --> 01:34:19,739
you are monitoring launch here in firing

2447
01:34:23,450 --> 01:34:22,080
Room 2 with us and you also have a team

2448
01:34:24,890 --> 01:34:23,460
we're going to bring up a picture of

2449
01:34:27,649 --> 01:34:24,900
that team right now or a live look

2450
01:34:29,510 --> 01:34:27,659
inside issa's control room uh in the in

2451
01:34:32,030 --> 01:34:29,520
the Netherlands so can you tell us what

2452
01:34:34,490 --> 01:34:32,040
is your team working on today yes well

2453
01:34:36,770 --> 01:34:34,500
the ISA team is not only back in the

2454
01:34:38,810 --> 01:34:36,780
Netherlands it's one aspect but we have

2455
01:34:41,030 --> 01:34:38,820
also a significant team in the control

2456
01:34:41,930 --> 01:34:41,040
room in Johnson in the mirror control

2457
01:34:45,070 --> 01:34:41,940
room

2458
01:34:47,870 --> 01:34:45,080
and their role is to monitor the

2459
01:34:50,709 --> 01:34:47,880
Telemetry from the service module to

2460
01:34:54,110 --> 01:34:50,719
make sure that all parameters are within

2461
01:34:58,189 --> 01:34:54,120
the nominal behavior that the operations

2462
01:35:01,610 --> 01:34:58,199
are performed also nominally and

2463
01:35:04,790 --> 01:35:01,620
for sure identify if something goes

2464
01:35:07,430 --> 01:35:04,800
wrong if something goes not nominal and

2465
01:35:09,830 --> 01:35:07,440
if something non-nominal is identified

2466
01:35:13,129 --> 01:35:09,840
then they will have the role to support

2467
01:35:15,890 --> 01:35:13,139
another team to troubleshoot the anomaly

2468
01:35:17,629 --> 01:35:15,900
and prepare the recommendation to be

2469
01:35:19,610 --> 01:35:17,639
brought to the mission management team

2470
01:35:21,410 --> 01:35:19,620
for a decision on how to operate the

2471
01:35:22,669 --> 01:35:21,420
vehicle forward you're great that's glad

2472
01:35:24,770 --> 01:35:22,679
we're really glad to hear that your

2473
01:35:27,050 --> 01:35:24,780
teams are monitoring here Johnson in the

2474
01:35:28,490 --> 01:35:27,060
Netherlands as well and this has been a

2475
01:35:30,229 --> 01:35:28,500
huge collaboration there were 10

2476
01:35:31,910 --> 01:35:30,239
countries that contributed to the

2477
01:35:34,910 --> 01:35:31,920
European service module can you tell me

2478
01:35:38,330 --> 01:35:34,920
about that teamwork indeed it was a real

2479
01:35:41,709 --> 01:35:38,340
teamwork but of about 60 companies

2480
01:35:44,209 --> 01:35:41,719
across 10 European countries

2481
01:35:47,750 --> 01:35:44,219
while together with a prime contractor

2482
01:35:50,689 --> 01:35:47,760
we have selected the finest companies

2483
01:35:52,370 --> 01:35:50,699
available in Europe to build a

2484
01:35:56,330 --> 01:35:52,380
state-of-the-art equipment which is

2485
01:35:58,790 --> 01:35:56,340
needed to go back to the Moon with

2486
01:36:00,410 --> 01:35:58,800
humans right we're going back to Saloon

2487
01:36:01,550 --> 01:36:00,420
and farther even Beyond thank you so

2488
01:36:03,530 --> 01:36:01,560
much Philly we really appreciate you

2489
01:36:05,990 --> 01:36:03,540
being here tonight welcome thank you

2490
01:36:06,890 --> 01:36:06,000
very much of course of course Megan back

2491
01:36:08,390 --> 01:36:06,900
to you

2492
01:36:10,490 --> 01:36:08,400
now it's time to check back in with

2493
01:36:13,629 --> 01:36:10,500
Mission Control in Houston Leah how are

2494
01:36:18,110 --> 01:36:15,709
things are good over here at Johnson

2495
01:36:20,450 --> 01:36:18,120
Space Center which is just one part of

2496
01:36:22,610 --> 01:36:20,460
an agency-wide effort with many NASA

2497
01:36:25,070 --> 01:36:22,620
programs doing their part to make future

2498
01:36:26,930 --> 01:36:25,080
missions a reality when the first woman

2499
01:36:28,189 --> 01:36:26,940
and first person of color travel to the

2500
01:36:29,930 --> 01:36:28,199
Moon they'll be wearing a

2501
01:36:32,629 --> 01:36:29,940
state-of-the-art launch and entry

2502
01:36:34,430 --> 01:36:32,639
spacesuit called the Orion crew survival

2503
01:36:36,590 --> 01:36:34,440
system when they set foot on the moon

2504
01:36:38,570 --> 01:36:36,600
they'll be in another all-new next gen

2505
01:36:40,070 --> 01:36:38,580
suit both being developed at the Johnson

2506
01:36:42,290 --> 01:36:40,080
Space Center and through Partnerships

2507
01:36:44,090 --> 01:36:42,300
with commercial providers during those

2508
01:36:46,010 --> 01:36:44,100
spacewalks astronauts will collect

2509
01:36:48,110 --> 01:36:46,020
samples for further study of the Moon

2510
01:36:50,450 --> 01:36:48,120
the astromaterials research and

2511
01:36:52,850 --> 01:36:50,460
exploration science division at JSC is

2512
01:36:54,470 --> 01:36:52,860
preparing to receive rocks soil and Ice

2513
01:36:56,270 --> 01:36:54,480
collected from the moon's South Pole

2514
01:36:58,250 --> 01:36:56,280
which has a unique crater impact history

2515
01:37:00,290 --> 01:36:58,260
and Ice deposits that have never been

2516
01:37:01,610 --> 01:37:00,300
sampled and leading the effort to

2517
01:37:03,410 --> 01:37:01,620
advance capabilities for science

2518
01:37:05,030 --> 01:37:03,420
exploration and Commercial development

2519
01:37:07,129 --> 01:37:05,040
of the moon is the commercial lunar

2520
01:37:09,470 --> 01:37:07,139
payload Services initiative or Clips

2521
01:37:11,270 --> 01:37:09,480
more than a dozen American companies are

2522
01:37:13,430 --> 01:37:11,280
developing science investigations and

2523
01:37:15,590 --> 01:37:13,440
Tech demos additionally we need a

2524
01:37:17,750 --> 01:37:15,600
sustainable presence as

2525
01:37:19,850 --> 01:37:17,760
a station in orbit to facilitate

2526
01:37:22,189 --> 01:37:19,860
continuous lunar access and serve as a

2527
01:37:24,470 --> 01:37:22,199
home base or a jumping off point for new

2528
01:37:26,270 --> 01:37:24,480
deep space exploration missions this is

2529
01:37:28,070 --> 01:37:26,280
where Gateway comes in it's a

2530
01:37:30,649 --> 01:37:28,080
multi-purpose lunar space station being

2531
01:37:33,470 --> 01:37:30,659
developed by a worldwide effort LED out

2532
01:37:35,390 --> 01:37:33,480
of Js NASA is again teaming up with

2533
01:37:37,910 --> 01:37:35,400
International and Commercial Partners to

2534
01:37:39,890 --> 01:37:37,920
create this essential component Artemis

2535
01:37:41,810 --> 01:37:39,900
and Gateway will enable NASA's human

2536
01:37:44,149 --> 01:37:41,820
research program to better understand

2537
01:37:46,490 --> 01:37:44,159
how the human body adapts Beyond low

2538
01:37:48,110 --> 01:37:46,500
earth orbit ensuring future astronauts

2539
01:37:50,330 --> 01:37:48,120
traveling to the moon and Mars have the

2540
01:37:52,430 --> 01:37:50,340
tools to keep healthy and thrive in new

2541
01:37:54,470 --> 01:37:52,440
environments and with that we're going

2542
01:37:57,470 --> 01:37:54,480
to turn it back over to Megan and Kayla

2543
01:37:59,209 --> 01:37:57,480
at Kennedy thank you so much so Artemis

2544
01:38:01,490 --> 01:37:59,219
will also facilitate new discoveries

2545
01:38:03,169 --> 01:38:01,500
about the moon so to tell us what we're

2546
01:38:05,570 --> 01:38:03,179
hoping to learn we have Sarah Noble here

2547
01:38:08,330 --> 01:38:05,580
she's the Artemis lunar science lead

2548
01:38:10,910 --> 01:38:08,340
great to have you here thanks so tell us

2549
01:38:12,530 --> 01:38:10,920
about what we know about the moon yeah

2550
01:38:14,689 --> 01:38:12,540
so we learned a ton about the moon

2551
01:38:16,310 --> 01:38:14,699
during Apollo right from the samples and

2552
01:38:17,930 --> 01:38:16,320
the data that we collected in fact we're

2553
01:38:20,750 --> 01:38:17,940
still learning from those samples and

2554
01:38:22,790 --> 01:38:20,760
data even today 50 years later but then

2555
01:38:24,649 --> 01:38:22,800
since Apollo you know we've actually

2556
01:38:27,290 --> 01:38:24,659
been studying the moon mostly from above

2557
01:38:28,910 --> 01:38:27,300
learning about getting more of a global

2558
01:38:30,830 --> 01:38:28,920
perspective on the moon that we really

2559
01:38:32,390 --> 01:38:30,840
didn't have during Apollo and so that's

2560
01:38:34,250 --> 01:38:32,400
allowed us to ask ask a lot better

2561
01:38:36,470 --> 01:38:34,260
questions and to understand where to go

2562
01:38:38,209 --> 01:38:36,480
to find the answers to them now that

2563
01:38:39,709 --> 01:38:38,219
we're headed back to the Moon sending

2564
01:38:41,149 --> 01:38:39,719
human beings as part of the Artemis

2565
01:38:42,410 --> 01:38:41,159
program what are we hoping to learn

2566
01:38:44,450 --> 01:38:42,420
that's new

2567
01:38:46,129 --> 01:38:44,460
yes so we're going to an entirely

2568
01:38:47,870 --> 01:38:46,139
different part of the moon for Artemis

2569
01:38:49,910 --> 01:38:47,880
right during Apollo we kind of landed

2570
01:38:51,470 --> 01:38:49,920
almost in the same place like six times

2571
01:38:53,090 --> 01:38:51,480
right in the sort of central near side

2572
01:38:54,890 --> 01:38:53,100
of the moon but for Artemis we're gonna

2573
01:38:57,110 --> 01:38:54,900
go explore a new part of the Moon we're

2574
01:38:59,270 --> 01:38:57,120
gonna go to the South Pole which is some

2575
01:39:01,189 --> 01:38:59,280
of the oldest rocks on the on the moon

2576
01:39:03,530 --> 01:39:01,199
it's the part of the original crest of

2577
01:39:06,229 --> 01:39:03,540
the Moon and there's places there that

2578
01:39:09,169 --> 01:39:06,239
are permanently shadowed where we think

2579
01:39:11,090 --> 01:39:09,179
that water and other molecules sort of

2580
01:39:12,830 --> 01:39:11,100
get trapped and we really want to

2581
01:39:14,689 --> 01:39:12,840
understand what those are and so that we

2582
01:39:16,310 --> 01:39:14,699
can use them for both science and and

2583
01:39:18,350 --> 01:39:16,320
for as a resource

2584
01:39:20,030 --> 01:39:18,360
Sarah we're also planning to land a

2585
01:39:21,830 --> 01:39:20,040
Rover at the South Pole of the Moon in

2586
01:39:23,930 --> 01:39:21,840
late 2024. can you tell us about that

2587
01:39:25,669 --> 01:39:23,940
yeah absolutely the Viper Rover the

2588
01:39:28,250 --> 01:39:25,679
volatiles investigating polar

2589
01:39:29,629 --> 01:39:28,260
exploration Rover is going to land near

2590
01:39:31,010 --> 01:39:29,639
the South Pole and it's actually going

2591
01:39:32,450 --> 01:39:31,020
to explore some of these permanently

2592
01:39:35,149 --> 01:39:32,460
shattered areas it's going to dip into

2593
01:39:36,950 --> 01:39:35,159
them drill down try to find out what

2594
01:39:38,870 --> 01:39:36,960
that what that water is what else is

2595
01:39:40,250 --> 01:39:38,880
there what form that water is how much

2596
01:39:41,510 --> 01:39:40,260
is there so that we can really

2597
01:39:43,490 --> 01:39:41,520
understand it both from a science

2598
01:39:45,590 --> 01:39:43,500
perspective and if we want to use it as

2599
01:39:47,450 --> 01:39:45,600
a resource we will understand how to how

2600
01:39:48,950 --> 01:39:47,460
to extract it so some people might say

2601
01:39:51,169 --> 01:39:48,960
you know we have all these Rovers we

2602
01:39:52,550 --> 01:39:51,179
have access to machines that can do a

2603
01:39:54,590 --> 01:39:52,560
lot of the work on the surface of the

2604
01:39:57,530 --> 01:39:54,600
Moon for us so why is it important to

2605
01:39:59,330 --> 01:39:57,540
return humans to the Moon yeah it's not

2606
01:40:01,070 --> 01:39:59,340
an either or proposition right there are

2607
01:40:02,510 --> 01:40:01,080
some things that robot ruts are better

2608
01:40:04,070 --> 01:40:02,520
at and some things that humans are

2609
01:40:06,229 --> 01:40:04,080
better at and it turns out that humans

2610
01:40:08,209 --> 01:40:06,239
are much better field geologists we're

2611
01:40:11,030 --> 01:40:08,219
really much more efficient and and

2612
01:40:13,850 --> 01:40:11,040
better at that plus we can we can do uh

2613
01:40:16,189 --> 01:40:13,860
better we can deploy more complicated

2614
01:40:17,870 --> 01:40:16,199
instruments and we can use tools in a

2615
01:40:19,490 --> 01:40:17,880
way ways that it's very difficult for

2616
01:40:21,830 --> 01:40:19,500
robots to do so we can collect better

2617
01:40:23,629 --> 01:40:21,840
samples and one of the great things is

2618
01:40:25,430 --> 01:40:23,639
that we can bring back a lot of samples

2619
01:40:27,050 --> 01:40:25,440
right when we do robotic sample return

2620
01:40:28,250 --> 01:40:27,060
it's usually a very small amount but if

2621
01:40:30,169 --> 01:40:28,260
you look at what we brought back from

2622
01:40:32,689 --> 01:40:30,179
Apollo it's a large amount of samples

2623
01:40:34,430 --> 01:40:32,699
that literally hundreds probably maybe

2624
01:40:35,810 --> 01:40:34,440
the thousands of scientists have been

2625
01:40:37,790 --> 01:40:35,820
able to study over the years and over

2626
01:40:39,830 --> 01:40:37,800
generations and that's a lot of brain

2627
01:40:41,629 --> 01:40:39,840
power to put behind those samples so

2628
01:40:43,850 --> 01:40:41,639
again that's how Artemis and Apollo are

2629
01:40:46,010 --> 01:40:43,860
different now we're utilizing machines

2630
01:40:47,570 --> 01:40:46,020
and people that's right so hopefully

2631
01:40:48,950 --> 01:40:47,580
Advance yeah that's right perfect Sarah

2632
01:40:50,629 --> 01:40:48,960
thank you so much for your time thanks

2633
01:40:52,669 --> 01:40:50,639
for having me so in honor of our

2634
01:40:54,709 --> 01:40:52,679
destination the moon we asked you all to

2635
01:40:56,750 --> 01:40:54,719
create Moon inspired content and share

2636
01:40:58,669 --> 01:40:56,760
them with us using the hashtag NASA Moon

2637
01:41:00,290 --> 01:40:58,679
snap we got so many wonderful

2638
01:41:02,000 --> 01:41:00,300
submissions so why don't we check them

2639
01:41:13,510 --> 01:41:02,010
out now

2640
01:41:15,360 --> 01:41:13,520
[Music]

2641
01:41:31,070 --> 01:41:15,370
thank you

2642
01:41:35,990 --> 01:41:33,590
foreign

2643
01:41:37,980 --> 01:41:36,000
[Music]

2644
01:41:45,590 --> 01:41:37,990
foreign

2645
01:41:53,750 --> 01:41:50,810
[Music]

2646
01:41:56,450 --> 01:41:53,760
that was a really cool look at all the

2647
01:41:59,149 --> 01:41:56,460
different kinds of Creations recipes and

2648
01:42:00,890 --> 01:41:59,159
also art and and it was great to see

2649
01:42:02,810 --> 01:42:00,900
what people submitted yeah it's awesome

2650
01:42:04,370 --> 01:42:02,820
to see the creativity out there and how

2651
01:42:06,950 --> 01:42:04,380
people are engaging with this mission in

2652
01:42:08,990 --> 01:42:06,960
so many different ways yeah so I know

2653
01:42:11,510 --> 01:42:09,000
that you you didn't submit it yet but

2654
01:42:12,709 --> 01:42:11,520
you did create a moon snap sort of so to

2655
01:42:14,510 --> 01:42:12,719
say so why don't we take a look at that

2656
01:42:16,070 --> 01:42:14,520
picture yeah this is one of my favorite

2657
01:42:19,070 --> 01:42:16,080
pictures of the Moon that I was able to

2658
01:42:21,410 --> 01:42:19,080
take from orbit I think for me it kind

2659
01:42:23,930 --> 01:42:21,420
of reminds me of that iconic picture of

2660
01:42:26,510 --> 01:42:23,940
moonrise or earthrise from the Moon from

2661
01:42:27,709 --> 01:42:26,520
Apollo and it's kind of that reverse I

2662
01:42:29,570 --> 01:42:27,719
think there's something about seeing the

2663
01:42:32,090 --> 01:42:29,580
Moon from orbit around the Earth that

2664
01:42:33,649 --> 01:42:32,100
makes it seem a little bit easier to

2665
01:42:34,970 --> 01:42:33,659
imagine what it'd be like to have that

2666
01:42:36,530 --> 01:42:34,980
view from the Moon looking back at our

2667
01:42:38,149 --> 01:42:36,540
home planet yeah you should definitely

2668
01:42:40,430 --> 01:42:38,159
submit that because that's an amazing

2669
01:42:42,350 --> 01:42:40,440
photo did you take that yourself yeah

2670
01:42:44,990 --> 01:42:42,360
out of the cupola window or the space

2671
01:42:46,490 --> 01:42:45,000
station wow the resolution's great the

2672
01:42:49,609 --> 01:42:46,500
cameras we have up there are incredible

2673
01:42:51,470 --> 01:42:49,619
yeah it's awesome so so I haven't taken

2674
01:42:53,209 --> 01:42:51,480
a moons now so I had nothing to submit

2675
01:42:54,890 --> 01:42:53,219
so how do you feel about creating

2676
01:42:56,930 --> 01:42:54,900
women's snap with me let's do it all

2677
01:42:59,149 --> 01:42:56,940
right well take that if you don't mind

2678
01:43:01,629 --> 01:42:59,159
lifting it up and we're just gonna snap

2679
01:43:04,850 --> 01:43:01,639
a photo here oh lighting

2680
01:43:06,709 --> 01:43:04,860
perfect so I just created a moon snap I

2681
01:43:08,149 --> 01:43:06,719
love it I'm gonna share it uh and again

2682
01:43:10,010 --> 01:43:08,159
this is just to encourage people to

2683
01:43:12,709 --> 01:43:10,020
really get involved in this Mission so

2684
01:43:14,689 --> 01:43:12,719
uh we will continue to collect and share

2685
01:43:17,209 --> 01:43:14,699
those photos so again if you have a NASA

2686
01:43:19,790 --> 01:43:17,219
Moon snap just use that hashtag okay

2687
01:43:22,370 --> 01:43:19,800
artemis1 comes amid a very busy a year

2688
01:43:24,109 --> 01:43:22,380
and exciting here at Nasa some of the

2689
01:43:26,689 --> 01:43:24,119
highlights include two more commercial

2690
01:43:30,350 --> 01:43:26,699
crew launches with SpaceX crew 4 in

2691
01:43:33,109 --> 01:43:30,360
April and then crew 5 last month in May

2692
01:43:35,330 --> 01:43:33,119
NASA and Boeing flew oft2 the second

2693
01:43:37,370 --> 01:43:35,340
uncrewed flight test of the Starliner

2694
01:43:39,169 --> 01:43:37,380
capsule the goal is to certify the

2695
01:43:41,209 --> 01:43:39,179
capsule for regular flights to the

2696
01:43:44,330 --> 01:43:41,219
International Space Station after a

2697
01:43:46,370 --> 01:43:44,340
crude flight test next year in July we

2698
01:43:49,250 --> 01:43:46,380
released the first images captured by

2699
01:43:51,890 --> 01:43:49,260
our James Webb Telescope and oh my my

2700
01:43:53,090 --> 01:43:51,900
those are really beautiful fascinating

2701
01:43:54,709 --> 01:43:53,100
photos and they're going to really help

2702
01:43:57,770 --> 01:43:54,719
us answer some of astronomy's biggest

2703
01:43:59,750 --> 01:43:57,780
questions about how our universe began

2704
01:44:02,390 --> 01:43:59,760
and then in September we intentionally

2705
01:44:04,550 --> 01:44:02,400
slammed the dart spacecraft into

2706
01:44:06,649 --> 01:44:04,560
asteroid dimorphous boom look at that

2707
01:44:08,930 --> 01:44:06,659
and we successfully changed its course

2708
01:44:10,910 --> 01:44:08,940
the asteroid wasn't headed for Earth but

2709
01:44:12,530 --> 01:44:10,920
the test was to show we could defend our

2710
01:44:14,390 --> 01:44:12,540
planet if needed

2711
01:44:16,790 --> 01:44:14,400
and recently two other missions that

2712
01:44:19,790 --> 01:44:16,800
benefit the Artemis program last week we

2713
01:44:21,890 --> 01:44:19,800
tested a new inflatable heat shield that

2714
01:44:24,229 --> 01:44:21,900
could help us eventually land humans on

2715
01:44:26,570 --> 01:44:24,239
Mars and just two days ago Capstone

2716
01:44:28,490 --> 01:44:26,580
arrived at its intended orbit around the

2717
01:44:31,250 --> 01:44:28,500
moon the small satellite launched from

2718
01:44:33,709 --> 01:44:31,260
New Zealand in June and will now test a

2719
01:44:38,290 --> 01:44:33,719
unique lunar orbit for a future space

2720
01:44:45,050 --> 01:44:41,930
Artemis won Heralds a new era in the

2721
01:44:47,270 --> 01:44:45,060
history of human space flight it marks a

2722
01:44:49,910 --> 01:44:47,280
pivotal next step in Humanity's return

2723
01:44:53,470 --> 01:44:49,920
to the Moon ushering in a new generation

2724
01:44:56,270 --> 01:44:53,480
of astronauts technology and research

2725
01:44:58,310 --> 01:44:56,280
this critical flight test sets the

2726
01:45:01,310 --> 01:44:58,320
course for a bright future at the Moon

2727
01:45:03,770 --> 01:45:01,320
it represents our ability to safely send

2728
01:45:06,770 --> 01:45:03,780
Artemis astronauts and critical Hardware

2729
01:45:09,169 --> 01:45:06,780
to lunar orbit Humanity will experience

2730
01:45:12,470 --> 01:45:09,179
Artemis in different ways than we did

2731
01:45:15,290 --> 01:45:12,480
Apollo we will explore new areas of the

2732
01:45:18,910 --> 01:45:15,300
Moon with 21st century materials

2733
01:45:21,890 --> 01:45:18,920
Technologies systems and operations

2734
01:45:24,470 --> 01:45:21,900
Gateway will be Humanity's first space

2735
01:45:27,410 --> 01:45:24,480
station to orbit the Moon built with

2736
01:45:29,629 --> 01:45:27,420
Next Generation technology Gateway will

2737
01:45:32,390 --> 01:45:29,639
not only provide a deep space Outpost

2738
01:45:34,810 --> 01:45:32,400
for future lunar Expeditions it will

2739
01:45:38,209 --> 01:45:34,820
also serve as a station for Landers

2740
01:45:40,609 --> 01:45:38,219
experiments and supplies starting with

2741
01:45:42,770 --> 01:45:40,619
the Core Power and habitation elements

2742
01:45:45,050 --> 01:45:42,780
Gateway will grow with increasing

2743
01:45:47,629 --> 01:45:45,060
capability as International Partners

2744
01:45:50,629 --> 01:45:47,639
contribute new habitat and refueling

2745
01:45:53,750 --> 01:45:50,639
modules observation Windows external

2746
01:45:56,149 --> 01:45:53,760
Robotics and more Gateway will enable

2747
01:45:58,729 --> 01:45:56,159
longer stays and more science to be

2748
01:46:02,149 --> 01:45:58,739
conducted on and around the Moon than

2749
01:46:05,390 --> 01:46:02,159
ever before and one day it will help set

2750
01:46:07,850 --> 01:46:05,400
the stage for Missions to Mars a highly

2751
01:46:09,590 --> 01:46:07,860
skilled diverse Corps of astronauts will

2752
01:46:12,050 --> 01:46:09,600
be selected for Artemis missions

2753
01:46:14,270 --> 01:46:12,060
including the first woman and first

2754
01:46:17,270 --> 01:46:14,280
person of color to step foot on the moon

2755
01:46:20,090 --> 01:46:17,280
a board Gateway the crew will conduct

2756
01:46:23,030 --> 01:46:20,100
exciting research from their unique deep

2757
01:46:25,129 --> 01:46:23,040
space vintage Point Gateway will also be

2758
01:46:27,290 --> 01:46:25,139
a transfer station for astronauts to

2759
01:46:29,330 --> 01:46:27,300
board Innovative human Landing systems

2760
01:46:31,609 --> 01:46:29,340
that will vary them to and from the

2761
01:46:34,850 --> 01:46:31,619
lunar surface for exciting scientific

2762
01:46:36,950 --> 01:46:34,860
Expeditions near the South Pole once on

2763
01:46:39,590 --> 01:46:36,960
the moon Artemis astronauts will use

2764
01:46:41,629 --> 01:46:39,600
expertise in fields like biology and

2765
01:46:44,510 --> 01:46:41,639
geology to conduct groundbreaking

2766
01:46:47,390 --> 01:46:44,520
research in modern spacesuits using

2767
01:46:49,729 --> 01:46:47,400
Advanced tools they will drive new

2768
01:46:51,530 --> 01:46:49,739
Rovers to investigate the lunar terrain

2769
01:46:54,830 --> 01:46:51,540
and unlock some of the greatest

2770
01:46:57,590 --> 01:46:54,840
mysteries of our solar system

2771
01:46:59,510 --> 01:46:57,600
Artemis won cements our capability to

2772
01:47:02,450 --> 01:46:59,520
send astronauts and cargo to the moon

2773
01:47:06,880 --> 01:47:02,460
for years to come

2774
01:47:10,010 --> 01:47:06,890
going back to the Moon we are Artemis

2775
01:47:14,090 --> 01:47:11,930
as we approach the opening of our

2776
01:47:17,090 --> 01:47:14,100
two-hour launch window we have a special

2777
01:47:19,490 --> 01:47:17,100
musical performance for you America the

2778
01:47:22,310 --> 01:47:19,500
Beautiful played in honor of the flight

2779
01:47:32,140 --> 01:47:22,320
test by the Philadelphia Orchestra and

2780
01:48:33,910 --> 01:47:50,870
[Music]

2781
01:48:47,629 --> 01:48:35,120
thank you

2782

[Music]

2786
01:49:51,669 --> 01:49:34,280
foreign

2787
01:49:56,689 --> 01:49:54,830
beautiful performance it really has me

2788
01:49:58,970 --> 01:49:56,699
feeling quite emotional right now yeah

2789
01:50:01,129 --> 01:49:58,980
perfect tribute for tonight's launch you

2790
01:50:03,770 --> 01:50:01,139
know it's just uh it gives me a sense of

2791
01:50:06,290 --> 01:50:03,780
Pride really to just remember that our

2792
01:50:09,109 --> 01:50:06,300
country continues to lead our nation in

2793
01:50:11,149 --> 01:50:09,119
space exploration so and as such the

2794
01:50:13,370 --> 01:50:11,159
White House is closely watching this

2795
01:50:15,229 --> 01:50:13,380
historic launch earlier this year vice

2796
01:50:17,930 --> 01:50:15,239
president Kamala Harris came down to

2797
01:50:20,390 --> 01:50:17,940
Kennedy Space Center and met with NASA

2798
01:50:22,790 --> 01:50:20,400
leadership as well as astronauts she

2799
01:50:24,590 --> 01:50:22,800
also toured our facilities where teams

2800
01:50:26,450 --> 01:50:24,600
are working on hardware for future

2801
01:50:28,910 --> 01:50:26,460
Artemis missions

2802
01:50:31,129 --> 01:50:28,920
before leaving she signs a piece of the

2803
01:50:32,750 --> 01:50:31,139
Orion spacecraft that will fly on

2804
01:50:35,030 --> 01:50:32,760
Artemis 3. she's doing it right there

2805
01:50:37,850 --> 01:50:35,040
which will return astronauts to the

2806
01:50:42,350 --> 01:50:40,250
okay Kayla time for more social

2807
01:50:43,850 --> 01:50:42,360
questions so let's take the first one

2808
01:50:47,629 --> 01:50:43,860
you know now the drill it's going to be

2809
01:50:53,149 --> 01:50:50,390
hey guys I'm Jack Black and I'm super

2810
01:50:54,770 --> 01:50:53,159
excited for the Artemis one launch today

2811
01:50:57,169 --> 01:50:54,780
I was part of a little movie called

2812
01:50:59,689 --> 01:50:57,179
Apollo 10 and a half a space age

2813
01:51:00,890 --> 01:50:59,699
childhood and I have a few burning

2814
01:51:04,010 --> 01:51:00,900
queries

2815
01:51:06,410 --> 01:51:04,020
question the first how is Artemis

2816
01:51:10,070 --> 01:51:06,420
different than Apollo

2817
01:51:12,050 --> 01:51:10,080
we're returning to the moon but this

2818
01:51:14,270 --> 01:51:12,060
time we're going to stay so rather than

2819
01:51:15,590 --> 01:51:14,280
a short visit where we can do some

2820
01:51:17,629 --> 01:51:15,600
amazing science but it was pretty

2821
01:51:18,890 --> 01:51:17,639
limited by these short visits kind of a

2822
01:51:20,450 --> 01:51:18,900
small area of the Moon we're going to

2823
01:51:22,370 --> 01:51:20,460
the South Pole and we're going to learn

2824
01:51:23,570 --> 01:51:22,380
how to live there long term so we're

2825
01:51:24,709 --> 01:51:23,580
going to be building habitats we're

2826
01:51:26,750 --> 01:51:24,719
going to have Rovers we're gonna have

2827
01:51:29,330 --> 01:51:26,760
all of this infrastructure on the moon

2828
01:51:31,850 --> 01:51:29,340
supporting scientific discovery but also

2829
01:51:33,649 --> 01:51:31,860
that next big step to Mars I love seeing

2830
01:51:35,270 --> 01:51:33,659
celebrities also take part and ask

2831
01:51:36,530 --> 01:51:35,280
questions because it really shows that

2832
01:51:38,750 --> 01:51:36,540
this is something that's that's

2833
01:51:40,850 --> 01:51:38,760
captivating a lot of people so that was

2834
01:51:43,669 --> 01:51:40,860
really fun to see Jack Black also query

2835
01:51:47,390 --> 01:51:43,679
the first that was that was funny all

2836
01:51:53,810 --> 01:51:50,629
how does it feel in space being in space

2837
01:51:55,129 --> 01:51:53,820
is amazing I mean for us launching to

2838
01:51:56,629 --> 01:51:55,139
orbit around the Earth and then go to

2839
01:51:58,370 --> 01:51:56,639
the space station where I just was for

2840
01:52:00,470 --> 01:51:58,380
six months we're in an apparent

2841
01:52:01,669 --> 01:52:00,480
microgravity environment so for us it

2842
01:52:03,950 --> 01:52:01,679
feels like we're weightless like we're

2843
01:52:05,570 --> 01:52:03,960
floating so you have to relearn how to

2844
01:52:07,430 --> 01:52:05,580
live and work in that space But once you

2845
01:52:08,930 --> 01:52:07,440
get used to it it's a lot of fun yeah we

2846
01:52:11,450 --> 01:52:08,940
were just talking Jessica Watkins

2847
01:52:12,649 --> 01:52:11,460
another NASA astronaut was just here and

2848
01:52:14,270 --> 01:52:12,659
she was saying that actually when you

2849
01:52:15,830 --> 01:52:14,280
came back on Earth that was an

2850
01:52:18,410 --> 01:52:15,840
adjustment as well because you got so

2851
01:52:21,050 --> 01:52:18,420
used to uh used to living on the space

2852
01:52:22,550 --> 01:52:21,060
station yeah the transition home was

2853
01:52:23,930 --> 01:52:22,560
actually a lot harder for me than the

2854
01:52:26,270 --> 01:52:23,940
transition up there because our

2855
01:52:27,950 --> 01:52:26,280
vestibular systems kind of remap we

2856
01:52:29,390 --> 01:52:27,960
start ignoring all the sensors in our

2857
01:52:31,129 --> 01:52:29,400
inner ear that tell us how our bodies

2858
01:52:33,050 --> 01:52:31,139
are moving because the space environment

2859
01:52:34,609 --> 01:52:33,060
is so strange but we really need that on

2860
01:52:36,590 --> 01:52:34,619
Earth to balance and control our bodies

2861
01:52:38,030 --> 01:52:36,600
so when we get back it takes a couple of

2862
01:52:39,649 --> 01:52:38,040
days before we feel comfortable again

2863
01:52:40,310 --> 01:52:39,659
really interesting thanks so much for

2864
01:52:43,729 --> 01:52:40,320
those

2865
01:52:45,350 --> 01:52:43,739
okay so we are 10 minutes until the

2866
01:52:46,850 --> 01:52:45,360
opening of our two hour launch window

2867
01:52:48,590 --> 01:52:46,860
today so why don't we head back over to

2868
01:52:50,750 --> 01:52:48,600
Daryl Daryl tell us what's happening now

2869
01:52:52,729 --> 01:52:50,760
yeah Megan we actually uh have about 10

2870
01:52:55,850 --> 01:52:52,739
minutes before we go into a half hour

2871
01:52:58,609 --> 01:52:55,860
hold uh that half hour hold is part of

2872
01:53:00,470 --> 01:52:58,619
the L clock and what you see on your

2873
01:53:03,169 --> 01:53:00,480
monitor right now I believe is the T

2874
01:53:05,930 --> 01:53:03,179
clock so uh in about 10 minutes we'll

2875
01:53:08,510 --> 01:53:05,940
hold for a half hour and currently the

2876
01:53:11,810 --> 01:53:08,520
launch team is trying to evaluate how

2877
01:53:14,270 --> 01:53:11,820
much of a delay may result from some

2878
01:53:17,570 --> 01:53:14,280
issues that we've been facing uh over

2879
01:53:21,050 --> 01:53:17,580
the past hour just to recap those we had

2880
01:53:23,990 --> 01:53:21,060
a uh a leak and a replenish valve on the

2881
01:53:27,530 --> 01:53:24,000
mobile launcher that feeds into liquid

2882
01:53:30,830 --> 01:53:27,540
hydrogen core stage tank that's been

2883
01:53:33,649 --> 01:53:30,840
resolved the leak uh has been fixed and

2884
01:53:36,890 --> 01:53:33,659
we're moving forward currently the upper

2885
01:53:39,530 --> 01:53:36,900
stage of the rocket for liquid hydrogen

2886
01:53:43,070 --> 01:53:39,540
uh is roughly 70

2887
01:53:46,129 --> 01:53:43,080
8 at the moment so that is tracking

2888
01:53:47,750 --> 01:53:46,139
progress continues there the core stage

2889
01:53:50,930 --> 01:53:47,760
has been topped off

2890
01:53:52,930 --> 01:53:50,940
and now both liquid oxygen and liquid

2891
01:53:57,050 --> 01:53:52,940
hydrogen are 100

2892
01:54:00,530 --> 01:53:57,060
along with the upper stage of the liquid

2893
01:54:04,070 --> 01:54:00,540
hydrogen side of the equation so we're

2894
01:54:07,070 --> 01:54:04,080
just waiting on uh the complete tanking

2895
01:54:09,470 --> 01:54:07,080
of the upper stage liquid hydrogen now

2896
01:54:12,050 --> 01:54:09,480
with regards to the range issue that we

2897
01:54:15,830 --> 01:54:12,060
had we just got an update from the range

2898
01:54:18,649 --> 01:54:15,840
the 45th space Wing officer reporting in

2899
01:54:22,370 --> 01:54:18,659
to the NASA test director that the

2900
01:54:26,030 --> 01:54:22,380
ethernet switch has been replaced this

2901
01:54:29,390 --> 01:54:26,040
problematic switch took down their

2902
01:54:32,810 --> 01:54:29,400
ability to see radar from one of their

2903
01:54:35,810 --> 01:54:32,820
assets which is key in getting

2904
01:54:38,510 --> 01:54:35,820
acquisition and signal for the flight

2905
01:54:40,430 --> 01:54:38,520
termination system if it were to be

2906
01:54:45,590 --> 01:54:40,440
needed of course this is a critical

2907
01:54:47,689 --> 01:54:45,600
system that has to be tested before we

2908
01:54:53,410 --> 01:54:47,699
can launch so at the moment we're

2909
01:54:56,270 --> 01:54:53,420
looking still at a 104 a.m Eastern Time

2910
01:54:58,490 --> 01:54:56,280
launch but it is pretty clear from the

2911
01:55:00,290 --> 01:54:58,500
work that is ahead that

2912
01:55:03,129 --> 01:55:00,300
it looks like we're going to slip into

2913
01:55:05,810 --> 01:55:03,139
that window how much exactly

2914
01:55:08,990 --> 01:55:05,820
we don't have an accurate calculation

2915
01:55:12,890 --> 01:55:09,000
from the launch team as of right now but

2916
01:55:15,410 --> 01:55:12,900
of course we're anticipating that so for

2917
01:55:19,310 --> 01:55:15,420
the moment you see on your clock now we

2918
01:55:20,990 --> 01:55:19,320
are in the T minus 10 minute hold we

2919
01:55:23,450 --> 01:55:21,000
just entered that

2920
01:55:24,370 --> 01:55:23,460
and now roughly we're looking at 28

2921
01:55:29,030 --> 01:55:24,380
minutes

2922
01:55:31,490 --> 01:55:29,040
to resume terminal count a launch team

2923
01:55:34,070 --> 01:55:31,500
will assess what work needs to be done

2924
01:55:36,890 --> 01:55:34,080
how that syncs up with the range getting

2925
01:55:38,930 --> 01:55:36,900
back online with their uh with their

2926
01:55:42,470 --> 01:55:38,940
equipment and then we should have a new

2927
01:55:44,330 --> 01:55:42,480
t0 for you soon that's latest from

2928
01:55:46,729 --> 01:55:44,340
firing room one here at the Kennedy

2929
01:55:48,350 --> 01:55:46,739
Space Center Megan back to you

2930
01:55:49,910 --> 01:55:48,360
so things are obviously still very

2931
01:55:52,669 --> 01:55:49,920
Dynamic we're going to come back to

2932
01:55:54,410 --> 01:55:52,679
Daryl as much as possible now to

2933
01:55:56,390 --> 01:55:54,420
understand where we are going we have to

2934
01:55:58,430 --> 01:55:56,400
know where we have been to do that we

2935
01:56:00,229 --> 01:55:58,440
spoke to some of the special few who

2936
01:56:01,729 --> 01:56:00,239
walked on the moon and those who sent

2937
01:56:04,550 --> 01:56:01,739
them

2938
01:56:06,950 --> 01:56:04,560
we choose to go to the moon in this

2939
01:56:09,410 --> 01:56:06,960
decade and do the other things not

2940
01:56:10,310 --> 01:56:09,420
because they are easy but because they

2941
01:56:14,030 --> 01:56:10,320
are hard

2942
01:56:16,850 --> 01:56:14,040
because that goal will serve to organize

2943
01:56:19,970 --> 01:56:16,860
and measure the best of our energies and

2944
01:56:22,250 --> 01:56:19,980
skills it's been 50 years since we've

2945
01:56:25,550 --> 01:56:22,260
been to the moon and we've got a great

2946
01:56:29,090 --> 01:56:25,560
program called Artemis we're going back

2947
01:56:31,550 --> 01:56:29,100
the Apollo program was a test for the

2948
01:56:34,850 --> 01:56:31,560
American people that you can do what you

2949
01:56:37,090 --> 01:56:34,860
set out to do all it took was turning to

2950
01:56:40,070 --> 01:56:37,100
it and making it happen

2951
01:56:41,290 --> 01:56:40,080
we are go for a mission to the moon at

2952
01:56:46,250 --> 01:56:41,300
this time

2953
01:56:48,850 --> 01:56:46,260
engines on five four three two

2954
01:56:52,970 --> 01:56:48,860
all engines running

2955
01:56:55,750 --> 01:56:52,980
commit liftoff we have liftoff 49

2956
01:56:57,649 --> 01:56:55,760
minutes past the hour

2957
01:57:00,410 --> 01:56:57,659
characteristic system that I remember

2958
01:57:02,090 --> 01:57:00,420
most of the satisfy was the noise the

2959
01:57:03,460 --> 01:57:02,100
noise was enormous and it was almost

2960
01:57:06,910 --> 01:57:03,470
impossible to communicate

2961
01:57:06,920 --> 01:57:10,510
we're going

2962
01:57:15,830 --> 01:57:13,430
bad quality base here the eagle has

2963
01:57:17,689 --> 01:57:15,840
landed The Landing to me was a great

2964
01:57:25,450 --> 01:57:17,699
celebration the nation was almost

2965
01:57:31,970 --> 01:57:28,790
there are so many things that we can

2966
01:57:34,050 --> 01:57:31,980
eventually learn about our universe and

2967
01:57:39,729 --> 01:57:34,060
the spacecraft that we use exploring

2968
01:57:43,250 --> 01:57:39,739
[Music]

2969
01:57:46,129 --> 01:57:43,260
we are a nation of explorers during the

2970
01:57:48,350 --> 01:57:46,139
pow-up we were on national TV literally

2971
01:57:51,589 --> 01:57:48,360
every day because we were doing

2972
01:57:53,870 --> 01:57:51,599
something visible that America could see

2973
01:57:56,450 --> 01:57:53,880
and they could feel and say look what we

2974
01:57:58,669 --> 01:57:56,460
are doing and I believe Artemis is going

2975
01:58:01,220 --> 01:57:58,679
to come up and say look what we are

2976
01:58:05,410 --> 01:58:01,230
capable of and what we are doing now

2977
01:58:07,910 --> 01:58:05,420
[Music]

2978
01:58:11,030 --> 01:58:07,920
thank you

2979
01:58:12,890 --> 01:58:11,040
Artemis will stand on the shoulders of

2980
01:58:14,930 --> 01:58:12,900
Apollo they're going to have the eyes of

2981
01:58:18,470 --> 01:58:14,940
the world on them when they start down

2982
01:58:24,530 --> 01:58:21,589
the science of a space flight is one

2983
01:58:27,169 --> 01:58:24,540
that will continue to inspire going to

2984
01:58:30,229 --> 01:58:27,179
the Moon generates technology more

2985
01:58:33,709 --> 01:58:30,239
Communications more computer technology

2986
01:58:37,930 --> 01:58:33,719
more sophistication in manufacturing

2987
01:58:42,890 --> 01:58:40,910
we have a generation that is ready a

2988
01:58:45,470 --> 01:58:42,900
generation with that technology a

2989
01:58:48,589 --> 01:58:45,480
generation with the education Artemis

2990
01:58:53,970 --> 01:58:48,599
represents the future in space it is our

2991
01:59:00,410 --> 01:58:58,910
[Music]

2992
01:59:02,930 --> 01:59:00,420
if you're just joining us welcome to

2993
01:59:04,609 --> 01:59:02,940
NASA's Kennedy Space Center where we are

2994
01:59:07,250 --> 01:59:04,619
showing you a live look of another

2995
01:59:09,589 --> 01:59:07,260
Visitor Center this is the U.S Space and

2996
01:59:11,570 --> 01:59:09,599
Rocket Center wow take a look at all of

2997
01:59:13,609 --> 01:59:11,580
those people who are there hoping to

2998
01:59:15,770 --> 01:59:13,619
watch the launch today you know this is

2999
01:59:18,169 --> 01:59:15,780
the visitor center for the Marshall

3000
01:59:20,330 --> 01:59:18,179
space flight center in Huntsville

3001
01:59:23,330 --> 01:59:20,340
Alabama they that Center played a

3002
01:59:26,570 --> 01:59:23,340
crucial role in contributing to the

3003
01:59:27,709 --> 01:59:26,580
Artemis program so I'm not I'm not a

3004
01:59:32,030 --> 01:59:27,719
surprised that there are a bunch of

3005
01:59:37,910 --> 01:59:34,070
all right so now we're going to take a

3006
01:59:39,649 --> 01:59:37,920
uh go back to Leah Martin over at Banana

3007
01:59:41,149 --> 01:59:39,659
Creek again that's right outside of our

3008
01:59:42,709 --> 01:59:41,159
Visitor Center and she's with some other

3009
01:59:43,790 --> 01:59:42,719
folks who came out to watch today's

3010
01:59:45,890 --> 01:59:43,800
lunch

3011
01:59:48,890 --> 01:59:45,900
yeah you know Megan we talked about this

3012
01:59:50,810 --> 01:59:48,900
being America's rocket right every state

3013
01:59:52,310 --> 01:59:50,820
in the United States has contributed to

3014
01:59:54,709 --> 01:59:52,320
this rocket so it should be no surprise

3015
01:59:56,629 --> 01:59:54,719
that we have people from all over the

3016
01:59:58,250 --> 01:59:56,639
country joining us here tonight I'm

3017
02:00:00,649 --> 01:59:58,260
actually joined by uh some friends of

3018
02:00:02,629 --> 02:00:00,659
ours who are joining us from Georgia and

3019
02:00:04,910 --> 02:00:02,639
Utah what does it mean to be here

3020
02:00:06,830 --> 02:00:04,920
tonight to see tonight's launch I think

3021
02:00:08,629 --> 02:00:06,840
it's amazing I know that tons of people

3022
02:00:10,850 --> 02:00:08,639
from all over the United States have

3023
02:00:12,050 --> 02:00:10,860
helped build the rockets and are here

3024
02:00:13,430 --> 02:00:12,060
tonight so it's awesome to know that we

3025
02:00:15,410 --> 02:00:13,440
all have a little bit of personal ties

3026
02:00:17,750 --> 02:00:15,420
to the rocket

3027
02:00:19,550 --> 02:00:17,760
and go ahead no I'm just excited to be

3028
02:00:21,770 --> 02:00:19,560
here because I've been a fan of space

3029
02:00:24,410 --> 02:00:21,780
travel and going to the moon and back

3030
02:00:27,109 --> 02:00:24,420
and I'm glad to see it's happening again

3031
02:00:28,669 --> 02:00:27,119
later in life and you were actually

3032
02:00:31,189 --> 02:00:28,679
telling me a little bit earlier that you

3033
02:00:33,290 --> 02:00:31,199
grew up in the Apollo era in those years

3034
02:00:35,149 --> 02:00:33,300
following those first launches and now

3035
02:00:36,830 --> 02:00:35,159
here how does it feel to be watching the

3036
02:00:38,810 --> 02:00:36,840
sister program launch and sing at the

3037
02:00:41,270 --> 02:00:38,820
beginning look at the Goosebumps that

3038
02:00:44,810 --> 02:00:41,280
tells it all right here I'm totally

3039
02:00:46,729 --> 02:00:44,820
thrilled to be here now and you were

3040
02:00:48,470 --> 02:00:46,739
connection to this rocket as well you

3041
02:00:50,450 --> 02:00:48,480
know some people have worked on it what

3042
02:00:52,189 --> 02:00:50,460
do you think it feels like being here

3043
02:00:54,109 --> 02:00:52,199
how does it feel for you to see

3044
02:00:55,970 --> 02:00:54,119
something that's the culmination of so

3045
02:00:57,589 --> 02:00:55,980
many years of hard work yeah I think

3046
02:00:59,629 --> 02:00:57,599
it's crazy when you think about how long

3047
02:01:02,030 --> 02:00:59,639
it takes to build it and stuff like I

3048
02:01:04,430 --> 02:01:02,040
wasn't even born last time people tried

3049
02:01:06,890 --> 02:01:04,440
to get to the moon so it's awesome I

3050
02:01:10,129 --> 02:01:06,900
think it's so exciting and I cannot wait

3051
02:01:11,990 --> 02:01:10,139
and uh we have a ton of people who are

3052
02:01:13,430 --> 02:01:12,000
working tonight still on Console we just

3053
02:01:15,890 --> 02:01:13,440
want to tell them words of encouragement

3054
02:01:17,270 --> 02:01:15,900
what more do you have to say oh I hope

3055
02:01:20,750 --> 02:01:17,280
this goes tonight

3056
02:01:24,830 --> 02:01:23,209
go Artemis yes I love that and again I

3057
02:01:26,870 --> 02:01:24,840
just love these drone shots that we're

3058
02:01:30,350 --> 02:01:26,880
showing of all the people who are here

3059
02:01:32,810 --> 02:01:30,360
ready hoping uh anticipating uh launch

3060
02:01:35,330 --> 02:01:32,820
today so now let's head back over to Dan

3061
02:01:37,669 --> 02:01:35,340
so Dan is in the Apollo Saturn V Center

3062
02:01:39,169 --> 02:01:37,679
which is right next to uh This Crowd

3063
02:01:40,970 --> 02:01:39,179
that you're seeing here he's inside

3064
02:01:43,370 --> 02:01:40,980
there and he's going to tell us more

3065
02:01:45,290 --> 02:01:43,380
about SLS using an interactive

3066
02:01:46,250 --> 02:01:45,300
state-of-the-art tool we're calling the

3067
02:01:47,689 --> 02:01:46,260
moon board

3068
02:01:50,209 --> 02:01:47,699
that's right Megan everybody Welcome

3069
02:01:52,609 --> 02:01:50,219
Back To The Moon board so just to recap

3070
02:01:54,229 --> 02:01:52,619
SLS out on the pad on the mobile

3071
02:01:56,149 --> 02:01:54,239
launcher Daryl's been walking you

3072
02:01:58,490 --> 02:01:56,159
through all of the tanking all the

3073
02:01:59,870 --> 02:01:58,500
preparation we had that hydrogen leak

3074
02:02:01,490 --> 02:01:59,880
that was in the base of the mobile

3075
02:02:03,470 --> 02:02:01,500
service structure here that's been

3076
02:02:05,750 --> 02:02:03,480
remedied uh we haven't had any issue

3077
02:02:08,330 --> 02:02:05,760
with those tail umbilicals that we were

3078
02:02:09,770 --> 02:02:08,340
tracking so closely back in August uh

3079
02:02:13,370 --> 02:02:09,780
and September so everything looking

3080
02:02:16,189 --> 02:02:13,380
really good with SLS just to recap

3081
02:02:18,649 --> 02:02:16,199
most powerful rocket we have ever built

3082
02:02:20,330 --> 02:02:18,659
it's propelled by two solid rocket

3083
02:02:22,490 --> 02:02:20,340
boosters and four engines on this core

3084
02:02:24,109 --> 02:02:22,500
stage now these solid rocket boosters

3085
02:02:25,910 --> 02:02:24,119
are going to be firing for the first

3086
02:02:27,530 --> 02:02:25,920
roughly two minutes of the flight a

3087
02:02:29,390 --> 02:02:27,540
little more than two minutes and we call

3088
02:02:31,310 --> 02:02:29,400
them solids because of the type of

3089
02:02:33,109 --> 02:02:31,320
propellant in there if you forgot it

3090
02:02:35,089 --> 02:02:33,119
already it's aluminum powder ammonium

3091
02:02:37,129 --> 02:02:35,099
perchlorate and polybutadine

3092
02:02:39,290 --> 02:02:37,139
acrylonitrile it's a binding agent

3093
02:02:41,750 --> 02:02:39,300
that's inside solid propellants are

3094
02:02:43,790 --> 02:02:41,760
extremely stable they're very reliable

3095
02:02:45,169 --> 02:02:43,800
but once you ignite them they're going

3096
02:02:47,390 --> 02:02:45,179
to keep burning you can't really

3097
02:02:49,370 --> 02:02:47,400
throttle them up and down like you can

3098
02:02:51,470 --> 02:02:49,380
with liquid-fueled engines you can

3099
02:02:53,750 --> 02:02:51,480
throttle just based off of the

3100
02:02:56,030 --> 02:02:53,760
distribution so you basically put more

3101
02:02:58,250 --> 02:02:56,040
propellant in some areas unless and

3102
02:03:00,410 --> 02:02:58,260
others as you're trying to really

3103
02:03:02,990 --> 02:03:00,420
throttle the rocket down which we do as

3104
02:03:05,209 --> 02:03:03,000
we go through things like Max Q maximum

3105
02:03:08,089 --> 02:03:05,219
Dynamic pressure and just a reminder is

3106
02:03:10,189 --> 02:03:08,099
these things are firing they can steer

3107
02:03:12,229 --> 02:03:10,199
they can gimbal the bottom part here

3108
02:03:14,810 --> 02:03:12,239
gimbal just means you can really direct

3109
02:03:16,729 --> 02:03:14,820
and they're providing 90 percent of the

3110
02:03:19,310 --> 02:03:16,739
steering as SLS is making the flight

3111
02:03:21,470 --> 02:03:19,320
uphill and more than 75 percent of the

3112
02:03:23,330 --> 02:03:21,480
thrust with those two firing at the same

3113
02:03:26,209 --> 02:03:23,340
time and again they're attached to this

3114
02:03:27,890 --> 02:03:26,219
this is the core stage 212 feet tall the

3115
02:03:29,689 --> 02:03:27,900
largest single stage we've ever

3116
02:03:32,870 --> 02:03:29,699
constructed it's been through the green

3117
02:03:35,870 --> 02:03:32,880
run test a lot of preparation for this

3118
02:03:38,510 --> 02:03:35,880
flight today and it is propelled by

3119
02:03:40,790 --> 02:03:38,520
these four rs-25 engines now these are

3120
02:03:42,709 --> 02:03:40,800
liquid-fueled rocket engines so you have

3121
02:03:44,209 --> 02:03:42,719
a fuel and an oxidizer and one of the

3122
02:03:45,950 --> 02:03:44,219
great things about liquid fuel is you

3123
02:03:47,570 --> 02:03:45,960
can throttle them in real time you could

3124
02:03:49,790 --> 02:03:47,580
kind of like the gas in your car you can

3125
02:03:51,470 --> 02:03:49,800
go faster a little bit slower so these

3126
02:03:53,209 --> 02:03:51,480
throttle up to a hundred and four

3127
02:03:55,790 --> 02:03:53,219
percent of their rated thrust at the

3128
02:03:58,070 --> 02:03:55,800
time of liftoff we throttle them down as

3129
02:04:00,770 --> 02:03:58,080
we go through Max use the maximum amount

3130
02:04:02,810 --> 02:04:00,780
of pressure on SLS on the way uphill and

3131
02:04:04,609 --> 02:04:02,820
then throttle them back up until they've

3132
02:04:06,350 --> 02:04:04,619
consumed all of their propellants and

3133
02:04:09,050 --> 02:04:06,360
they're consuming that propellant at

3134
02:04:11,209 --> 02:04:09,060
more than 50 500 gallons a second that

3135
02:04:13,250 --> 02:04:11,219
is just an astronomical amount of fuel

3136
02:04:15,229 --> 02:04:13,260
that's running through these engines to

3137
02:04:18,050 --> 02:04:15,239
produce that thrust each of these up to

3138
02:04:20,450 --> 02:04:18,060
half a million pounds each during their

3139
02:04:22,310 --> 02:04:20,460
operation and of all the different

3140
02:04:24,410 --> 02:04:22,320
components we've got this engine block

3141
02:04:26,750 --> 02:04:24,420
section down here you have all of the

3142
02:04:28,669 --> 02:04:26,760
Associated Plumbing everything to feed

3143
02:04:30,470 --> 02:04:28,679
those propellants down to these engines

3144
02:04:32,689 --> 02:04:30,480
you also have these two attachment

3145
02:04:35,570 --> 02:04:32,699
points here and that's where we actually

3146
02:04:37,430 --> 02:04:35,580
tank the SLS rocket so a lot of focus on

3147
02:04:39,770 --> 02:04:37,440
those in the previous attempts they've

3148
02:04:42,290 --> 02:04:39,780
cooperated spectacularly so far today

3149
02:04:45,229 --> 02:04:42,300
and we've been able to fully tank this

3150
02:04:47,750 --> 02:04:45,239
core stage and reminder you have a fuel

3151
02:04:50,629 --> 02:04:47,760
about half a million gallons right here

3152
02:04:52,729 --> 02:04:50,639
of liquid hydrogen and then an oxidizer

3153
02:04:54,410 --> 02:04:52,739
you need those two together and then an

3154
02:04:57,169 --> 02:04:54,420
ignition Source that's what gives you

3155
02:04:59,510 --> 02:04:57,179
your reaction your thrust your basically

3156
02:05:02,750 --> 02:04:59,520
controlled explosion that then comes out

3157
02:05:04,729 --> 02:05:02,760
of those rocket engines so fully tanked

3158
02:05:06,830 --> 02:05:04,739
these are cryogenic fuels hundreds of

3159
02:05:09,350 --> 02:05:06,840
degrees below zero so we've got a spray

3160
02:05:11,089 --> 02:05:09,360
on insulation across the entire vehicle

3161
02:05:13,430 --> 02:05:11,099
as it's sitting out there in the Florida

3162
02:05:14,990 --> 02:05:13,440
Air it's a little bit warm tonight but

3163
02:05:16,790 --> 02:05:15,000
we need to keep those hundreds of

3164
02:05:19,070 --> 02:05:16,800
degrees below zero it takes a lot of

3165
02:05:20,990 --> 02:05:19,080
energy to do that so the less you have

3166
02:05:23,390 --> 02:05:21,000
to use to keep them cold the better

3167
02:05:25,490 --> 02:05:23,400
which is why we have that insulation so

3168
02:05:27,830 --> 02:05:25,500
we're going to be seeing SLS take flight

3169
02:05:30,470 --> 02:05:27,840
for the first time tonight as we clear

3170
02:05:32,870 --> 02:05:30,480
all of those final issues again this is

3171
02:05:34,910 --> 02:05:32,880
going to be one heck of a show when this

3172
02:05:38,570 --> 02:05:34,920
thing launches into the night sky so

3173
02:05:40,189 --> 02:05:38,580
with that send it back over to you Megan

3174
02:05:42,350 --> 02:05:40,199
if you're just joining us welcome to

3175
02:05:44,629 --> 02:05:42,360
NASA's Kennedy Space Center for live

3176
02:05:46,310 --> 02:05:44,639
launch coverage of Artemis one I'm

3177
02:05:48,169 --> 02:05:46,320
NASA's Megan Cruz and this is NASA

3178
02:05:49,609 --> 02:05:48,179
astronaut Kayla Baron it's been great

3179
02:05:51,169 --> 02:05:49,619
having you these past two hours it's

3180
02:05:53,450 --> 02:05:51,179
been so awesome to be here for this

3181
02:05:56,209 --> 02:05:53,460
historic launch tonight so right now we

3182
02:05:58,250 --> 02:05:56,219
are awaiting a new t0 the launch team

3183
02:05:59,629 --> 02:05:58,260
had to work through some issues and

3184
02:06:01,370 --> 02:05:59,639
they're doing a great job at working

3185
02:06:04,250 --> 02:06:01,380
through those issues so now we're just

3186
02:06:06,050 --> 02:06:04,260
waiting to see a new t0 since we had

3187
02:06:09,229 --> 02:06:06,060
been aiming for the top of the launch

3188
02:06:11,990 --> 02:06:09,239
window which opened uh our wood uh does

3189
02:06:15,589 --> 02:06:12,000
open at 104 a.m eastern time now today

3190
02:06:17,209 --> 02:06:15,599
is a big deal Apollo 17 in 1972 was the

3191
02:06:19,490 --> 02:06:17,219
last time humans stepped foot on the

3192
02:06:21,050 --> 02:06:19,500
Moon that uh the rocket you see right

3193
02:06:23,089 --> 02:06:21,060
there behind us illuminated in the

3194
02:06:25,669 --> 02:06:23,099
darkness there is the first step back

3195
02:06:27,649 --> 02:06:25,679
towards getting us to the moon now

3196
02:06:29,930 --> 02:06:27,659
Artemis 1 is the first integrated flight

3197
02:06:32,149 --> 02:06:29,940
test of NASA's deep space exploration

3198
02:06:34,250 --> 02:06:32,159
systems that's the ground systems here

3199
02:06:36,770 --> 02:06:34,260
at Kennedy Space Center the space launch

3200
02:06:39,950 --> 02:06:36,780
system or SLS Rockets and the Orion

3201
02:06:42,770 --> 02:06:39,960
spacecraft we will send send an uncrewed

3202
02:06:44,510 --> 02:06:42,780
Orion spacecraft farther beyond the moon

3203
02:06:47,270 --> 02:06:44,520
than any of the Apollo missions before

3204
02:06:49,250 --> 02:06:47,280
it for Artemis 2 Orion will have

3205
02:06:51,530 --> 02:06:49,260
astronauts on board as it orbits the

3206
02:06:53,870 --> 02:06:51,540
moon then future Artemis missions will

3207
02:06:56,089 --> 02:06:53,880
land the first woman and first person of

3208
02:06:57,709 --> 02:06:56,099
color on the surface of the Moon

3209
02:06:58,550 --> 02:06:57,719
so Kayla why do we want to go back to

3210
02:07:00,649 --> 02:06:58,560
the Moon

3211
02:07:02,689 --> 02:07:00,659
the moon's a super interesting place to

3212
02:07:05,030 --> 02:07:02,699
study it can tell us a lot about the

3213
02:07:07,250 --> 02:07:05,040
Earth its own formation but also more

3214
02:07:09,229 --> 02:07:07,260
about our solar system and we also want

3215
02:07:11,930 --> 02:07:09,239
to return this time in an international

3216
02:07:13,370 --> 02:07:11,940
partnership for a permanent presence on

3217
02:07:14,750 --> 02:07:13,380
the lunar surface that'll teach us

3218
02:07:17,750 --> 02:07:14,760
everything we need to know to travel

3219
02:07:20,570 --> 02:07:17,760
onto Mars and what about for you I mean

3220
02:07:22,189 --> 02:07:20,580
you have the possibility of maybe being

3221
02:07:24,470 --> 02:07:22,199
selected for those future missions

3222
02:07:26,810 --> 02:07:24,480
because they the Artemis program can

3223
02:07:28,430 --> 02:07:26,820
choose from any of you guys any of the

3224
02:07:30,890 --> 02:07:28,440
NASA astronauts

3225
02:07:32,330 --> 02:07:30,900
it's a crazy time to be a NASA astronaut

3226
02:07:34,070 --> 02:07:32,340
and even imagine that that could be real

3227
02:07:35,870 --> 02:07:34,080
I think we're all just honored to be a

3228
02:07:38,450 --> 02:07:35,880
part of the team that's doing this we're

3229
02:07:39,890 --> 02:07:38,460
just a small representation of all of

3230
02:07:41,870 --> 02:07:39,900
the amazing human beings around the

3231
02:07:43,370 --> 02:07:41,880
world that it takes to do something as

3232
02:07:45,290 --> 02:07:43,380
audacious as returning to the Moon

3233
02:07:47,510 --> 02:07:45,300
learning what we need to go on to Mars

3234
02:07:49,609 --> 02:07:47,520
so we're just all excited to support the

3235
02:07:51,709 --> 02:07:49,619
program in any way we can but of course

3236
02:07:54,109 --> 02:07:51,719
a ride to the Moon would be incredible

3237
02:07:56,689 --> 02:07:54,119
so I think we're all just dreaming about

3238
02:07:58,729 --> 02:07:56,699
those Moonwalks now since Artemis one is

3239
02:08:00,290 --> 02:07:58,739
setting the stage for those future crude

3240
02:08:02,750 --> 02:08:00,300
missions is there anything in particular

3241
02:08:04,850 --> 02:08:02,760
about this 26-day mission that you will

3242
02:08:06,709 --> 02:08:04,860
be watching is it re-entry

3243
02:08:07,850 --> 02:08:06,719
yeah you know we've mentioned that a few

3244
02:08:10,010 --> 02:08:07,860
times throughout the broadcast tonight

3245
02:08:11,990 --> 02:08:10,020
the re-entry is a really important part

3246
02:08:13,850 --> 02:08:12,000
of the flight of course and the heat

3247
02:08:15,950 --> 02:08:13,860
shield we're interested in seeing how it

3248
02:08:17,750 --> 02:08:15,960
performs in real life we tested it on

3249
02:08:19,790 --> 02:08:17,760
the ground but Orion's going to be

3250
02:08:22,250 --> 02:08:19,800
coming in faster and hotter than any

3251
02:08:23,570 --> 02:08:22,260
human rated spacecraft in history and so

3252
02:08:25,250 --> 02:08:23,580
we really want to see how the heat

3253
02:08:27,290 --> 02:08:25,260
shield performs and make sure all the

3254
02:08:29,089 --> 02:08:27,300
systems can keep the crew safe for that

3255
02:08:30,350 --> 02:08:29,099
Dynamic event yeah we'll all be watching

3256
02:08:32,149 --> 02:08:30,360
for that too it's not just about the

3257
02:08:34,970 --> 02:08:32,159
launch the 26 day Mission as we said so

3258
02:08:37,430 --> 02:08:34,980
we'll be keeping a watch over the entire

3259
02:08:38,870 --> 02:08:37,440
Mission our Workforce Now is very

3260
02:08:41,330 --> 02:08:38,880
different from what it was during the

3261
02:08:43,669 --> 02:08:41,340
Apollo era when Apollo 11 launched there

3262
02:08:45,830 --> 02:08:43,679
was only one female engineer in the

3263
02:08:48,530 --> 02:08:45,840
firing room today's launch of Artemis

3264
02:08:50,510 --> 02:08:48,540
one is led by NASA's first ever female

3265
02:08:52,310 --> 02:08:50,520
launch director take a look at how she

3266
02:08:54,609 --> 02:08:52,320
and other women across NASA are

3267
02:08:57,649 --> 02:08:54,619
shattering glass ceilings

3268
02:09:00,229 --> 02:08:57,659
when I was a little girl I wanted to be

3269
02:09:02,270 --> 02:09:00,239
an astronaut a scientist a doctor a

3270
02:09:04,310 --> 02:09:02,280
fighter pilot when I was a little girl I

3271
02:09:06,169 --> 02:09:04,320
wanted to grow up to be strong and

3272
02:09:07,850 --> 02:09:06,179
independent when we were asked to draw a

3273
02:09:10,850 --> 02:09:07,860
picture of what we wanted to be when we

3274
02:09:12,649 --> 02:09:10,860
grew up I drew an astronaut standing on

3275
02:09:14,149 --> 02:09:12,659
the surface of the Moon all I thought

3276
02:09:14,650 --> 02:09:14,159
about was when I was going to get to

3277
02:09:19,189 --> 02:09:14,660
NASA

3278
02:09:22,010 --> 02:09:19,199
[Music]

3279
02:09:24,770 --> 02:09:22,020
honor to be NASA's first female watch

3280
02:09:25,930 --> 02:09:24,780
director to be the launch director for

3281
02:09:29,510 --> 02:09:25,940
Artemis

3282
02:09:32,330 --> 02:09:29,520
NASA has so many wonderful women

3283
02:09:34,669 --> 02:09:32,340
Pioneers so many Heroes to me some of

3284
02:09:36,950 --> 02:09:34,679
the most amazing women in my eyes are

3285
02:09:39,050 --> 02:09:36,960
people like Katherine Johnson and the

3286
02:09:40,770 --> 02:09:39,060
other women that you've seen in Hidden

3287
02:09:42,290 --> 02:09:40,780
figures

3288
02:09:44,149 --> 02:09:42,300
[Music]

3289
02:09:46,669 --> 02:09:44,159
sometimes it's difficult to believe that

3290
02:09:48,169 --> 02:09:46,679
I'm on this side now wearing this Blue

3291
02:09:50,689 --> 02:09:48,179
flight suit with all of the other

3292
02:09:53,089 --> 02:09:50,699
astronauts representing this iconic

3293
02:09:55,310 --> 02:09:53,099
image that had so inspired and excited

3294
02:09:58,070 --> 02:09:55,320
me my entire life

3295
02:10:00,530 --> 02:09:58,080
being of South Asian Heritage kalpa

3296
02:10:02,390 --> 02:10:00,540
nachala was just such a big thing for me

3297
02:10:04,850 --> 02:10:02,400
growing up I've always looked up to

3298
02:10:07,010 --> 02:10:04,860
Sally Ride and Mae Jemison who really

3299
02:10:08,990 --> 02:10:07,020
laid the foundation to allow people like

3300
02:10:11,750 --> 02:10:09,000
me to be in the position that I am now

3301
02:10:13,550 --> 02:10:11,760
all of these women were pushing those

3302
02:10:16,129 --> 02:10:13,560
boundaries and breaking those glass

3303
02:10:18,290 --> 02:10:16,139
ceilings now of course there are some

3304
02:10:24,070 --> 02:10:18,300
fantastic women in leadership positions

3305
02:10:28,910 --> 02:10:26,689
so much has changed since the Apollo

3306
02:10:32,089 --> 02:10:28,920
program during the Apollo 11 launched we

3307
02:10:34,490 --> 02:10:32,099
had one woman one out of 400 engineers

3308
02:10:36,830 --> 02:10:34,500
in the room and I look at our team today

3309
02:10:39,410 --> 02:10:36,840
it's much more reflection of the world

3310
02:10:42,109 --> 02:10:39,420
that we live in a big piece of why it's

3311
02:10:43,850 --> 02:10:42,119
so important to have women and diverse

3312
02:10:45,530 --> 02:10:43,860
backgrounds because it allows us to

3313
02:10:47,450 --> 02:10:45,540
bring everybody along with us on this

3314
02:10:49,430 --> 02:10:47,460
journey it doesn't really matter what

3315
02:10:51,410 --> 02:10:49,440
you look like if you've got the brains

3316
02:10:53,089 --> 02:10:51,420
and you have the knowledge we need you

3317
02:10:55,910 --> 02:10:53,099
at the table

3318
02:10:57,649 --> 02:10:55,920
we are at such an exciting time in human

3319
02:10:59,689 --> 02:10:57,659
space flight right now and Artemis is

3320
02:11:02,089 --> 02:10:59,699
such a huge part of that we haven't been

3321
02:11:04,129 --> 02:11:02,099
to the Moon in many many years we have a

3322
02:11:06,410 --> 02:11:04,139
lot of younger generation folks that

3323
02:11:08,390 --> 02:11:06,420
have never seen that happen we will

3324
02:11:10,189 --> 02:11:08,400
understand so much more about the moon

3325
02:11:13,669 --> 02:11:10,199
about the Earth about our solar system

3326
02:11:15,649 --> 02:11:13,679
we're going to stay and to me that's an

3327
02:11:20,149 --> 02:11:15,659
amazing idea the moon is going to be the

3328
02:11:22,430 --> 02:11:20,159
blueprint for how we go to Mars and out

3329
02:11:25,850 --> 02:11:22,440
into the solar system and maybe Beyond

3330
02:11:28,310 --> 02:11:25,860
it is incredibly exciting to be part of

3331
02:11:30,649 --> 02:11:28,320
this Artemis team it still feels pretty

3332
02:11:33,169 --> 02:11:30,659
surreal to think that I might one day

3333
02:11:35,570 --> 02:11:33,179
walk on the moon to see a woman in a

3334
02:11:38,149 --> 02:11:35,580
person of color on the surface of the

3335
02:11:41,089 --> 02:11:38,159
Moon to be able to say that space is for

3336
02:11:44,629 --> 02:11:41,099
everyone and that we go to space to make

3337
02:11:47,780 --> 02:11:44,639
life better here on Earth for everyone I

3338
02:11:51,950 --> 02:11:47,790
know that tears will be in my eyes

3339
02:11:57,709 --> 02:11:54,290
my message to women and girls out there

3340
02:11:59,990 --> 02:11:57,719
is to find your passion whatever that is

3341
02:12:03,410 --> 02:12:00,000
don't let anyone tell you what you can

3342
02:12:07,010 --> 02:12:03,420
do or can't do only you can realize your

3343
02:12:09,350 --> 02:12:07,020
dreams faith for everyone and if me

3344
02:12:11,330 --> 02:12:09,360
being in this role helps to send that

3345
02:12:12,830 --> 02:12:11,340
message I think that's a great thing I

3346
02:12:15,229 --> 02:12:12,840
just actually love that I don't feel

3347
02:12:18,290 --> 02:12:15,239
like a woman at Nasa I just feel like a

3348
02:12:21,050 --> 02:12:18,300
person at Nasa the women of NASA are

3349
02:12:22,669 --> 02:12:21,060
autumnus and we make a difference every

3350
02:12:25,189 --> 02:12:22,679
day

3351
02:12:27,530 --> 02:12:25,199
I am NASA's spacewalk office Hardware

3352
02:12:30,109 --> 02:12:27,540
manager I'm the program scientist for

3353
02:12:33,589 --> 02:12:30,119
space biology I'm the director of NASA's

3354
02:12:41,890 --> 02:12:33,599
Johnson Space Center I am Artemis I am

3355
02:12:47,330 --> 02:12:45,229
I am Artemis

3356
02:12:48,890 --> 02:12:47,340
I just love the way that that video ends

3357
02:12:51,530 --> 02:12:48,900
with you and all these other women

3358
02:12:54,589 --> 02:12:51,540
saying I am Artemis what do you think

3359
02:12:56,390 --> 02:12:54,599
why is it so powerful to just hear those

3360
02:12:58,069 --> 02:12:56,400
three words I am Artemis why does that

3361
02:13:00,169 --> 02:12:58,079
resonate so much

3362
02:13:02,689 --> 02:13:00,179
I think it just represents how far we've

3363
02:13:04,970 --> 02:13:02,699
come since the Apollo area era and how

3364
02:13:06,770 --> 02:13:04,980
we take advantage of the incredible

3365
02:13:08,930 --> 02:13:06,780
diversity our country has to offer

3366
02:13:10,669 --> 02:13:08,940
having seats at the table for everyone

3367
02:13:12,050 --> 02:13:10,679
you know spaces for everyone you heard

3368
02:13:13,490 --> 02:13:12,060
that a few times in the video and I

3369
02:13:15,649 --> 02:13:13,500
think we're proving that out every

3370
02:13:17,629 --> 02:13:15,659
single day in our work not just at Nasa

3371
02:13:19,370 --> 02:13:17,639
but with our International Partners I

3372
02:13:21,109 --> 02:13:19,380
think it's so important to our ability

3373
02:13:22,910 --> 02:13:21,119
to succeed on these really complex

3374
02:13:25,609 --> 02:13:22,920
missions yeah I thought that was a very

3375
02:13:27,589 --> 02:13:25,619
powerful video and and I'm glad that

3376
02:13:28,550 --> 02:13:27,599
people got that message young girls in

3377
02:13:30,410 --> 02:13:28,560
particular

3378
02:13:32,870 --> 02:13:30,420
another person who you saw in that video

3379
02:13:35,089 --> 02:13:32,880
is uh Pam melroy she's a former

3380
02:13:36,589 --> 02:13:35,099
astronaut and NASA's Deputy

3381
02:13:38,209 --> 02:13:36,599
Administrator so why don't we head over

3382
02:13:40,550 --> 02:13:38,219
to Jasmine Hopkins because Pam is there

3383
02:13:42,290 --> 02:13:40,560
with her now thank you so much Megan yes

3384
02:13:45,470 --> 02:13:42,300
I am honored now to be joined by Pam

3385
02:13:47,450 --> 02:13:45,480
Milroy NASA Deputy Administrator this is

3386
02:13:49,850 --> 02:13:47,460
just a fantastic night we just saw that

3387
02:13:52,790 --> 02:13:49,860
powerful video with you among so many of

3388
02:13:54,830 --> 02:13:52,800
the Great women here at Nasa what is so

3389
02:13:56,870 --> 02:13:54,840
important about us now being ready to

3390
02:13:59,569 --> 02:13:56,880
send you know the first woman the first

3391
02:14:02,569 --> 02:13:59,579
person of color to the Moon Yeah I loved

3392
02:14:04,550 --> 02:14:02,579
watching that video just inspires me so

3393
02:14:06,550 --> 02:14:04,560
many of those women are my friends but

3394
02:14:09,229 --> 02:14:06,560
also they're just such fantastic

3395
02:14:11,330 --> 02:14:09,239
engineers and scientists and just so

3396
02:14:13,609 --> 02:14:11,340
many roles at the agency I've always

3397
02:14:16,370 --> 02:14:13,619
thought one of the strongest teams that

3398
02:14:18,709 --> 02:14:16,380
you could ever find is a family and

3399
02:14:21,109 --> 02:14:18,719
families have men and women and so our

3400
02:14:23,870 --> 02:14:21,119
teams are stronger I think when we have

3401
02:14:26,450 --> 02:14:23,880
that balance and that diversity so that

3402
02:14:28,490 --> 02:14:26,460
was exciting but for me I was a part of

3403
02:14:31,550 --> 02:14:28,500
the Apollo generation and I was very

3404
02:14:34,550 --> 02:14:31,560
inspired by you know Neil Armstrong and

3405
02:14:36,950 --> 02:14:34,560
Buzz Aldrin and Mike Collins on Apollo

3406
02:14:39,649 --> 02:14:36,960
11 and all the Apollo Astronauts

3407
02:14:41,390 --> 02:14:39,659
I just cannot even imagine the

3408
02:14:42,709 --> 02:14:41,400
inspiration though for a little girl I

3409
02:14:44,689 --> 02:14:42,719
mean it never

3410
02:14:46,609 --> 02:14:44,699
occurred to me that there I mean I

3411
02:14:49,069 --> 02:14:46,619
wanted to be an astronaut but of course

3412
02:14:50,330 --> 02:14:49,079
there were no women astronauts then I

3413
02:14:52,550 --> 02:14:50,340
think what's going to happen now with

3414
02:14:54,229 --> 02:14:52,560
the Artemis generation is that that

3415
02:14:57,649 --> 02:14:54,239
first woman and the first person of

3416
02:14:59,870 --> 02:14:57,659
color is just going to have a huge

3417
02:15:01,790 --> 02:14:59,880
impact on the Next Generation right we

3418
02:15:02,930 --> 02:15:01,800
are just watching with baited breath and

3419
02:15:05,209 --> 02:15:02,940
I know that it's going to mean so much

3420
02:15:07,069 --> 02:15:05,219
to little kids to look up to them and

3421
02:15:08,629 --> 02:15:07,079
and we understand too this is a huge I

3422
02:15:10,729 --> 02:15:08,639
mean when we launch Artemis it's going

3423
02:15:12,470 --> 02:15:10,739
to be a global accomplishment we have

3424
02:15:14,510 --> 02:15:12,480
the Artemis Accords which are helping us

3425
02:15:16,430 --> 02:15:14,520
make sure we explore peacefully can you

3426
02:15:18,890 --> 02:15:16,440
tell us more about those yeah it's

3427
02:15:22,010 --> 02:15:18,900
really important actually especially

3428
02:15:23,569 --> 02:15:22,020
because you know unlike in Apollo where

3429
02:15:25,250 --> 02:15:23,579
it was actually just a few countries

3430
02:15:27,890 --> 02:15:25,260
that had the capability to go to space

3431
02:15:31,010 --> 02:15:27,900
now those capabilities are proliferating

3432
02:15:32,930 --> 02:15:31,020
throughout the world and so what we do

3433
02:15:36,470 --> 02:15:32,940
with the rocket is really important and

3434
02:15:39,830 --> 02:15:36,480
how we go is is just as important and

3435
02:15:42,290 --> 02:15:39,840
how we go is as teams and with our

3436
02:15:44,810 --> 02:15:42,300
partners and with a sense of the

3437
02:15:46,609 --> 02:15:44,820
response ability that we have as we go

3438
02:15:50,089 --> 02:15:46,619
out into the solar system to do it

3439
02:15:52,189 --> 02:15:50,099
peacefully for scientific purposes and

3440
02:15:54,350 --> 02:15:52,199
responsibly right Pam you have a great

3441
02:15:56,270 --> 02:15:54,360
sense of teamwork and this is definitely

3442
02:15:58,430 --> 02:15:56,280
not our first time you know there's a

3443
02:16:00,109 --> 02:15:58,440
lot of things that go into testing out a

3444
02:16:02,209 --> 02:16:00,119
first-time vehicle there's actually

3445
02:16:04,669 --> 02:16:02,219
Dynamic activity going on right now so

3446
02:16:06,350 --> 02:16:04,679
how does this first flight test of SLS

3447
02:16:08,089 --> 02:16:06,360
compare to other first times you know

3448
02:16:10,850 --> 02:16:08,099
with shuttle or with Saturn V before

3449
02:16:13,850 --> 02:16:10,860
that well I can I can do even better as

3450
02:16:14,990 --> 02:16:13,860
a test pilot right so there's a history

3451
02:16:17,030 --> 02:16:15,000
there

3452
02:16:19,129 --> 02:16:17,040
um in fact the you know the amazing

3453
02:16:21,649 --> 02:16:19,139
thing about this is it so first flight

3454
02:16:23,270 --> 02:16:21,659
of a first aircraft you actually taxi it

3455
02:16:25,490 --> 02:16:23,280
out to the end of the runway and then

3456
02:16:27,470 --> 02:16:25,500
run down the runway and come back and

3457
02:16:29,149 --> 02:16:27,480
check all the data then you might take

3458
02:16:31,490 --> 02:16:29,159
off once and go around the pattern and

3459
02:16:33,889 --> 02:16:31,500
come back and land this is a little bit

3460
02:16:35,870 --> 02:16:33,899
like taking off and going to fly a full

3461
02:16:38,810 --> 02:16:35,880
mission on your very first flight of an

3462
02:16:41,509 --> 02:16:38,820
aircraft and so everything has to be

3463
02:16:43,790 --> 02:16:41,519
right so this Compares very you know

3464
02:16:46,030 --> 02:16:43,800
it's very similar to the experiences

3465
02:16:48,589 --> 02:16:46,040
that all new rocket developments have

3466
02:16:50,690 --> 02:16:48,599
where you know it's not just about

3467
02:16:52,669 --> 02:16:50,700
learning the hardware that's a big piece

3468
02:16:54,950 --> 02:16:52,679
of it but it's also about gelling that

3469
02:16:56,330 --> 02:16:54,960
team together and your procedures and

3470
02:16:58,009 --> 02:16:56,340
how you're going to deal with issues

3471
02:16:59,990 --> 02:16:58,019
that come up because they will come up

3472
02:17:02,209 --> 02:17:00,000
they always come up exactly and you have

3473
02:17:04,070 --> 02:17:02,219
that experience as a test pilot but also

3474
02:17:06,410 --> 02:17:04,080
as a former astronaut in that video we

3475
02:17:08,270 --> 02:17:06,420
saw you getting your induction into the

3476
02:17:10,250 --> 02:17:08,280
Astronaut Hall of Fame which is pretty

3477
02:17:11,929 --> 02:17:10,260
cool so what is your perspective or what

3478
02:17:13,549 --> 02:17:11,939
advice do you have for the Artemis

3479
02:17:15,770 --> 02:17:13,559
astronauts those ones that are are going

3480
02:17:18,530 --> 02:17:15,780
to maybe set foot on the moon oh well

3481
02:17:21,250 --> 02:17:18,540
they don't need my advice I'd love to

3482
02:17:24,530 --> 02:17:21,260
Elbow them out of the way and go to them

3483
02:17:27,469 --> 02:17:24,540
they are fantastic I mean we are I'm so

3484
02:17:29,450 --> 02:17:27,479
proud of all of our astronauts I was

3485
02:17:33,110 --> 02:17:29,460
just talking to Jessica Watkins who just

3486
02:17:35,690 --> 02:17:33,120
came back on crew for this generation is

3487
02:17:37,490 --> 02:17:35,700
prepared ready and excited and I think

3488
02:17:39,589 --> 02:17:37,500
they're really excited that we're

3489
02:17:41,690 --> 02:17:39,599
putting science front and center in the

3490
02:17:43,969 --> 02:17:41,700
Artemis program too we're going to learn

3491
02:17:46,490 --> 02:17:43,979
so much about the cell solar system from

3492
02:17:48,349 --> 02:17:46,500
the Moon and even about the Earth and so

3493
02:17:49,969 --> 02:17:48,359
that I think the astronauts are really

3494
02:17:52,070 --> 02:17:49,979
excited about doing that Hands-On

3495
02:17:53,929 --> 02:17:52,080
science and they're they're they are

3496
02:17:55,969 --> 02:17:53,939
ready to go right I know they're ready

3497
02:17:57,889 --> 02:17:55,979
to go and maybe you are as well but

3498
02:17:59,389 --> 02:17:57,899
Artemis one is just the beginning then

3499
02:18:01,429 --> 02:17:59,399
we have Artemis two and on we're

3500
02:18:03,290 --> 02:18:01,439
learning so much what do you think about

3501
02:18:04,969 --> 02:18:03,300
this just forward movement that we're

3502
02:18:07,129 --> 02:18:04,979
making right now well it's really

3503
02:18:10,610 --> 02:18:07,139
important this is uh the Artemis

3504
02:18:13,129 --> 02:18:10,620
campaign is actually a part of

3505
02:18:16,429 --> 02:18:13,139
um multi-decade effort that we're doing

3506
02:18:19,790 --> 02:18:16,439
right now which is really with the goal

3507
02:18:22,849 --> 02:18:19,800
of creating a blueprint for how we're

3508
02:18:25,250 --> 02:18:22,859
going to explore with humans and do

3509
02:18:27,110 --> 02:18:25,260
science throughout the solar system so

3510
02:18:28,910 --> 02:18:27,120
we're going to learn through the Artemis

3511
02:18:32,270 --> 02:18:28,920
campaign on the moon and then we're

3512
02:18:34,310 --> 02:18:32,280
going to go demonstrate it on Mars and

3513
02:18:35,990 --> 02:18:34,320
then the next destination who knows

3514
02:18:37,849 --> 02:18:36,000
where right I mean we're going so much

3515
02:18:39,110 --> 02:18:37,859
further than we ever have before pamel

3516
02:18:41,270 --> 02:18:39,120
Ray thank you so much for joining us

3517
02:18:43,730 --> 02:18:41,280
thank you go Artemis of course go

3518
02:18:45,770 --> 02:18:43,740
Artemis Megan to you

3519
02:18:48,110 --> 02:18:45,780
thank you both for That interview now

3520
02:18:50,330 --> 02:18:48,120
teams over at NASA's Johnson Space

3521
02:18:51,530 --> 02:18:50,340
Center also monitoring today's launched

3522
02:18:53,929 --> 02:18:51,540
attempt so why don't we go back over

3523
02:18:57,349 --> 02:18:53,939
there with Leah to tell us what's going

3524
02:19:01,310 --> 02:18:59,509
thanks Megan and you're right teams here

3525
02:19:03,709 --> 02:19:01,320
in Mission Control Houston continue to

3526
02:19:05,389 --> 02:19:03,719
monitor today's events again they will

3527
02:19:07,129 --> 02:19:05,399
really kick into action once we have

3528
02:19:09,169 --> 02:19:07,139
liftoff and they'll remain on Console

3529
02:19:10,849 --> 02:19:09,179
all the way through Splashdown but

3530
02:19:12,230 --> 02:19:10,859
quickly I have to show you something a

3531
02:19:14,690 --> 02:19:12,240
little show and tell makes me feel like

3532
02:19:17,030 --> 02:19:14,700
the coolest kid in school I've got a

3533
02:19:21,290 --> 02:19:17,040
moon rock here I hope you can get a good

3534
02:19:23,450 --> 02:19:21,300
shot of it it is from Apollo 15 1971 and

3535
02:19:26,509 --> 02:19:23,460
when it was brought back to Earth it was

3536
02:19:28,910 --> 02:19:26,519
part of a larger Rock in total it was 21

3537
02:19:30,830 --> 02:19:28,920
pounds this is of course a smaller

3538
02:19:32,750 --> 02:19:30,840
section of that but we're looking

3539
02:19:34,969 --> 02:19:32,760
forward to the Artemis program and being

3540
02:19:36,830 --> 02:19:34,979
able to go back to the moon so that we

3541
02:19:39,290 --> 02:19:36,840
can continue to gather these kinds of

3542
02:19:41,509 --> 02:19:39,300
samples but this time at the lunar South

3543
02:19:43,370 --> 02:19:41,519
Pole we've never been there and we've

3544
02:19:46,250 --> 02:19:43,380
never brought samples back from that

3545
02:19:47,929 --> 02:19:46,260
area so we're really excited to see what

3546
02:19:49,610 --> 02:19:47,939
might differ in those samples and the

3547
02:19:51,770 --> 02:19:49,620
ones that we have here now of course

3548
02:19:53,929 --> 02:19:51,780
we've got a whole laboratory of

3549
02:19:56,570 --> 02:19:53,939
scientists that are able to study all of

3550
02:19:59,330 --> 02:19:56,580
those samples we just opened some up for

3551
02:20:01,190 --> 02:19:59,340
the first time earlier this year so that

3552
02:20:03,530 --> 02:20:01,200
we're able to test with new technology

3553
02:20:05,510 --> 02:20:03,540
everything that we can learn about these

3554
02:20:07,730 --> 02:20:05,520
samples that we brought back now 50

3555
02:20:09,410 --> 02:20:07,740
years ago so hopefully within the next

3556
02:20:12,110 --> 02:20:09,420
few years we're bringing some new ones

3557
02:20:14,630 --> 02:20:12,120
back uh to to use that same experimental

3558
02:20:16,969 --> 02:20:14,640
process on and tell us a little bit more

3559
02:20:19,730 --> 02:20:16,979
about the moon but just had to show this

3560
02:20:21,650 --> 02:20:19,740
off Apollo 15 Moon Rock we're looking

3561
02:20:24,170 --> 02:20:21,660
forward to having some Artist Artemis

3562
02:20:26,330 --> 02:20:24,180
ones here at Johnson Space Center with

3563
02:20:28,130 --> 02:20:26,340
that I will send it back to you at KSC

3564
02:20:30,950 --> 02:20:28,140
you are a cool kid before you even had

3565
02:20:33,650 --> 02:20:30,960
the moon rock so but now you're even a

3566
02:20:35,630 --> 02:20:33,660
cooler kid now the name Artemis was

3567
02:20:38,510 --> 02:20:35,640
chosen because in Greek mythology she's

3568
02:20:40,309 --> 02:20:38,520
the twin sister of Apollo NASA's Leo

3569
02:20:41,990 --> 02:20:40,319
Martin is over at the nearby Kennedy

3570
02:20:44,030 --> 02:20:42,000
Space Center Visitor complex where

3571
02:20:47,150 --> 02:20:44,040
thousands have gathered to watch today's

3572
02:20:52,190 --> 02:20:49,309
Hi Megan I'm actually joined here

3573
02:20:54,950 --> 02:20:52,200
tonight by a very special group of

3574
02:20:57,590 --> 02:20:54,960
guests uh here from stennis visiting

3575
02:21:00,170 --> 02:20:57,600
Kennedy Space Center why don't you tell

3576
02:21:01,550 --> 02:21:00,180
me Ryan what it is that ties you to

3577
02:21:03,950 --> 02:21:01,560
tonight's launch

3578
02:21:07,429 --> 02:21:03,960
so we were lucky and privileged enough

3579
02:21:11,150 --> 02:21:07,439
to be able to test the core stage of the

3580
02:21:14,950 --> 02:21:13,130
we got to Green Run which is a full

3581
02:21:18,050 --> 02:21:14,960
duration Hot Fire

3582
02:21:19,730 --> 02:21:18,060
it's a very historic time for us at

3583
02:21:22,429 --> 02:21:19,740
stennis it was so exciting to be a part

3584
02:21:25,490 --> 02:21:22,439
of it was seven years of hard work by a

3585
02:21:28,370 --> 02:21:25,500
lot of really great people and Jack oh

3586
02:21:29,809 --> 02:21:28,380
just so excited to be here to see it and

3587
02:21:32,030 --> 02:21:29,819
Jack you were actually telling me that

3588
02:21:34,070 --> 02:21:32,040
you know firsthand you know how much

3589
02:21:35,929 --> 02:21:34,080
work has gone into tonight's launch what

3590
02:21:38,570 --> 02:21:35,939
does it feel

3591
02:21:41,030 --> 02:21:38,580
the rocket fully in a on the pad ready

3592
02:21:43,370 --> 02:21:41,040
to go man I'm just incredibly grateful

3593
02:21:45,770 --> 02:21:43,380
to be a part of this history and just

3594
02:21:49,250 --> 02:21:45,780
really excited to see this thing launch

3595
02:21:52,910 --> 02:21:51,230
firsthand you know the adversity that

3596
02:21:54,770 --> 02:21:52,920
these teams have overcome to be here

3597
02:21:56,150 --> 02:21:54,780
tonight do you have a word of

3598
02:21:58,010 --> 02:21:56,160
encouragement anything that you'd like

3599
02:21:59,750 --> 02:21:58,020
to say to the teams all across the

3600
02:22:02,330 --> 02:21:59,760
United States right now both at Kennedy

3601
02:22:04,070 --> 02:22:02,340
and at JSC who are just sitting in these

3602
02:22:07,309 --> 02:22:04,080
seats ready to get the rocket launched

3603
02:22:10,730 --> 02:22:07,319
tonight sure persevere I mean it's hard

3604
02:22:12,650 --> 02:22:10,740
work but it's so well worth it we spent

3605
02:22:14,750 --> 02:22:12,660
many hours doing the testing and trying

3606
02:22:16,969 --> 02:22:14,760
to get ready for this moment and I think

3607
02:22:18,710 --> 02:22:16,979
we've forwarded that information to

3608
02:22:20,150 --> 02:22:18,720
those guys and we also give them the

3609
02:22:22,429 --> 02:22:20,160
encouragement to continue on so we know

3610
02:22:23,750 --> 02:22:22,439
they can do it thanks so much Barry and

3611
02:22:24,950 --> 02:22:23,760
I think it would be great if just on the

3612
02:22:29,210 --> 02:22:24,960
count of three we can give them a great

3613
02:22:33,050 --> 02:22:29,220
big go Artemis one two three

3614
02:22:35,330 --> 02:22:33,060
back to you Megan that was amazing uh

3615
02:22:37,190 --> 02:22:35,340
and that's just uh uh you know people

3616
02:22:39,530 --> 02:22:37,200
who were actually able to come here to

3617
02:22:41,090 --> 02:22:39,540
Florida there's many uh people who are

3618
02:22:42,469 --> 02:22:41,100
joining us from around the world who

3619
02:22:44,690 --> 02:22:42,479
couldn't obviously make the trip out

3620
02:22:46,190 --> 02:22:44,700
here uh so let's take a look at some of

3621
02:22:48,170 --> 02:22:46,200
those watch parties there here's Space

3622
02:22:50,870 --> 02:22:48,180
Center Houston it's the visitor center

3623
02:22:52,790 --> 02:22:50,880
over uh for Johnson Space Center in

3624
02:22:55,429 --> 02:22:52,800
Houston and you can see a lot of people

3625
02:22:57,170 --> 02:22:55,439
there after hours because you know that

3626
02:22:59,570 --> 02:22:57,180
visitor center is closed right now

3627
02:23:02,690 --> 02:22:59,580
people are waving I love it wow look at

3628
02:23:04,190 --> 02:23:02,700
that whatever that is it's amazing I

3629
02:23:05,690 --> 02:23:04,200
don't think I've ever noticed that when

3630
02:23:08,150 --> 02:23:05,700
I'm at Space Center Houston maybe it's

3631
02:23:10,190 --> 02:23:08,160
new I know but yeah just look at that

3632
02:23:11,809 --> 02:23:10,200
crowd it's really fun to see again all

3633
02:23:14,450 --> 02:23:11,819
all these people who are captivated

3634
02:23:16,070 --> 02:23:14,460
young and old by today's launch attempt

3635
02:23:18,950 --> 02:23:16,080
and the beginning of the Artemis program

3636
02:23:22,010 --> 02:23:18,960
I know that they're uh probably looking

3637
02:23:24,950 --> 02:23:22,020
at the clock and and wondering when we

3638
02:23:30,610 --> 02:23:24,960
might see the launch today so lovely to

3639
02:23:36,670 --> 02:23:34,130
and there's the Space and Rocket Center

3640
02:23:39,290 --> 02:23:36,680
uh where we have a ton of people

3641
02:23:42,290 --> 02:23:39,300
cheerleaders next cheering us on tonight

3642
02:23:43,969 --> 02:23:42,300
for this incredible launch this evening

3643
02:23:45,770 --> 02:23:43,979
I love that they totally look like

3644
02:23:48,110 --> 02:23:45,780
cheerleaders and I they're embracing it

3645
02:23:49,790 --> 02:23:48,120
I love it uh and yeah this is the U.S

3646
02:23:51,590 --> 02:23:49,800
Basin Rocket Center this is the visitor

3647
02:23:55,730 --> 02:23:51,600
center over in Huntsville Alabama as

3648
02:23:58,010 --> 02:23:55,740
I've said before uh this uh that uh

3649
02:24:01,849 --> 02:23:58,020
um Marshall space flight center there is

3650
02:24:04,250 --> 02:24:01,859
super instrumental uh in uh What uh what

3651
02:24:06,590 --> 02:24:04,260
the Artemis program is doing that they

3652
02:24:08,270 --> 02:24:06,600
uh contributed a lot to the mission so

3653
02:24:10,550 --> 02:24:08,280
it's nice to see everyone there and then

3654
02:24:13,010 --> 02:24:10,560
here is Airbus and Bremen Germany so

3655
02:24:15,469 --> 02:24:13,020
Airbus is the main contractor for the

3656
02:24:17,389 --> 02:24:15,479
European space agency and together the

3657
02:24:20,450 --> 02:24:17,399
company and Esa they provided the

3658
02:24:22,429 --> 02:24:20,460
European service module which is uh an

3659
02:24:25,010 --> 02:24:22,439
important part of the Orion spacecraft

3660
02:24:27,110 --> 02:24:25,020
so we have quite a bit of people there a

3661
02:24:31,070 --> 02:24:27,120
more reasonable time over there in

3662
02:24:34,630 --> 02:24:31,080
Germany it is 7 00 a.m so I'm gonna say

3663
02:24:37,670 --> 02:24:34,640
Guten Morgen to them did I say it right

3664
02:24:40,610 --> 02:24:37,680
Guten Morgen to them over there uh in

3665
02:24:43,250 --> 02:24:40,620
Bremen Germany again the Airbus company

3666
02:24:44,690 --> 02:24:43,260
all right so let's get another check on

3667
02:24:46,490 --> 02:24:44,700
the launch team with our Daryl nail

3668
02:24:47,510 --> 02:24:46,500
who's inside there and has an update for

3669
02:24:49,309 --> 02:24:47,520
us

3670
02:24:51,710 --> 02:24:49,319
yeah that's right Megan so we are

3671
02:24:53,690 --> 02:24:51,720
clearly in a delay now the NASA test

3672
02:24:56,210 --> 02:24:53,700
director who's basically flying the ship

3673
02:24:59,270 --> 02:24:56,220
for the launch countdown tonight has

3674
02:25:02,750 --> 02:24:59,280
said that we are extending the hold that

3675
02:25:05,630 --> 02:25:02,760
we were currently in at T minus 10

3676
02:25:09,050 --> 02:25:05,640
minutes and Counting and so that puts us

3677
02:25:11,690 --> 02:25:09,060
off the 104 a.m Eastern Time launch

3678
02:25:14,750 --> 02:25:11,700
we're now slipping indefinitely into the

3679
02:25:17,830 --> 02:25:14,760
hold and NASA test director Carlos mange

3680
02:25:21,170 --> 02:25:17,840
saying that we are currently

3681
02:25:22,250 --> 02:25:21,180
estimating how much work needs to be

3682
02:25:26,030 --> 02:25:22,260
done

3683
02:25:28,790 --> 02:25:26,040
before resuming uh the polling that uh

3684
02:25:32,510 --> 02:25:28,800
supposed to take place 15 minutes before

3685
02:25:35,090 --> 02:25:32,520
launch it then goes to terminal count at

3686
02:25:37,910 --> 02:25:35,100
T minus 10 minutes now we've got an

3687
02:25:41,510 --> 02:25:37,920
update on the tanking of the upper stage

3688
02:25:44,210 --> 02:25:41,520
liquid hydrogen tank currently 95

3689
02:25:47,690 --> 02:25:44,220
percent filled we're in topping on that

3690
02:25:50,030 --> 02:25:47,700
tank it is the last of four tanks in the

3691
02:25:53,450 --> 02:25:50,040
space launch system that needed to be

3692
02:25:55,370 --> 02:25:53,460
completely fueled up before we launch of

3693
02:25:57,889 --> 02:25:55,380
course cryogenic tanking a complex

3694
02:26:00,469 --> 02:25:57,899
operation that has seen some delays

3695
02:26:03,230 --> 02:26:00,479
tonight we had a roughly hour delay

3696
02:26:05,990 --> 02:26:03,240
after replenish valve on the core stage

3697
02:26:08,510 --> 02:26:06,000
liquid hydrogen side required Hands-On

3698
02:26:10,730 --> 02:26:08,520
work by a red crew team that went out to

3699
02:26:13,969 --> 02:26:10,740
the launch pad and tightened down some

3700
02:26:17,510 --> 02:26:13,979
bolts on the valve and got it fixed

3701
02:26:20,210 --> 02:26:17,520
before leaving the launch pad and then

3702
02:26:22,969 --> 02:26:20,220
launch Team verifying that that work was

3703
02:26:26,150 --> 02:26:22,979
complete now currently we're awaiting

3704
02:26:28,490 --> 02:26:26,160
some work with the range the 45th space

3705
02:26:33,650 --> 02:26:28,500
Wing which oversees the range here makes

3706
02:26:37,070 --> 02:26:33,660
sure that the air space and uh and the

3707
02:26:39,290 --> 02:26:37,080
ocean out over the flight path is clear

3708
02:26:41,929 --> 02:26:39,300
and also has the responsibility to

3709
02:26:44,870 --> 02:26:41,939
destruct the rocket should it go off

3710
02:26:46,969 --> 02:26:44,880
track they are been working on some

3711
02:26:48,530 --> 02:26:46,979
issues with their equipment and sending

3712
02:26:52,190 --> 02:26:48,540
a flight termination signal to the

3713
02:26:53,750 --> 02:26:52,200
rocket that that uh there is testing

3714
02:26:56,330 --> 02:26:53,760
that must happen with the flight

3715
02:26:58,610 --> 02:26:56,340
termination system that was delayed by a

3716
02:27:01,429 --> 02:26:58,620
bad ethernet switch switch has been

3717
02:27:04,550 --> 02:27:01,439
changed out and now the range is looking

3718
02:27:07,670 --> 02:27:04,560
to start testing their connectivity to

3719
02:27:10,130 --> 02:27:07,680
the rocket in order to preserve that

3720
02:27:11,630 --> 02:27:10,140
safety function that they are

3721
02:27:13,190 --> 02:27:11,640
responsible for

3722
02:27:16,070 --> 02:27:13,200
so again we are slipping now

3723
02:27:18,889 --> 02:27:16,080
indefinitely into the launch window

3724
02:27:22,010 --> 02:27:18,899
um we're awaiting uh the launch Team to

3725
02:27:25,670 --> 02:27:22,020
evaluate just how much time is required

3726
02:27:28,010 --> 02:27:25,680
to complete the work to get this rocket

3727
02:27:30,530 --> 02:27:28,020
ready to launch and of course when we

3728
02:27:34,070 --> 02:27:30,540
have a new t0 for you we'll report that

3729
02:27:36,710 --> 02:27:34,080
out right away Megan back to you

3730
02:27:38,809 --> 02:27:36,720
Daryl thank you so much as NASA prepares

3731
02:27:40,790 --> 02:27:38,819
to explore the moon here's a look at the

3732
02:27:48,250 --> 02:27:40,800
spacesuits and tools that will help us

3733
02:27:52,910 --> 02:27:51,110
watching Apollo footage of astronauts

3734
02:27:55,010 --> 02:27:52,920
doing geology on the surface of the Moon

3735
02:27:57,530 --> 02:27:55,020
is a really great way to think about

3736
02:28:00,710 --> 02:27:57,540
preparing for Artemis for putting people

3737
02:28:03,230 --> 02:28:00,720
on the lunar surface once again

3738
02:28:04,910 --> 02:28:03,240
we learn a lot in how they did science

3739
02:28:06,530 --> 02:28:04,920
operations on the Moon and what it's

3740
02:28:08,750 --> 02:28:06,540
like to work on the moon you see them

3741
02:28:10,969 --> 02:28:08,760
doing geology you see them taking Rock

3742
02:28:13,190 --> 02:28:10,979
samples putting in a drive tube to take

3743
02:28:14,809 --> 02:28:13,200
a core sample you see them bouncing

3744
02:28:17,030 --> 02:28:14,819
along the surface of the Moon on the

3745
02:28:19,730 --> 02:28:17,040
lunar rover that they used in Apollo 15

3746
02:28:21,770 --> 02:28:19,740
through 17. so it's a great way to help

3747
02:28:23,450 --> 02:28:21,780
Drive technology development for the

3748
02:28:25,670 --> 02:28:23,460
next generation of spacesuits and

3749
02:28:28,670 --> 02:28:25,680
geology sampling tools there's these

3750
02:28:31,450 --> 02:28:28,680
facilities that help us train like we

3751
02:28:35,389 --> 02:28:31,460
are on the lunar surface you know these

3752
02:28:37,309 --> 02:28:35,399
16g offload systems or putting people in

3753
02:28:39,710 --> 02:28:37,319
the Aquatic environment are great ways

3754
02:28:41,690 --> 02:28:39,720
to train the mobility part right like

3755
02:28:44,570 --> 02:28:41,700
what can you do and how different does

3756
02:28:46,610 --> 02:28:44,580
it feel to be in 16g and do these tasks

3757
02:28:48,950 --> 02:28:46,620
we've been training astronauts in

3758
02:28:51,410 --> 02:28:48,960
geology and geoscience for decades now

3759
02:28:53,750 --> 02:28:51,420
the Apollo Astronauts had literally

3760
02:28:55,670 --> 02:28:53,760
hundreds of hours of training in geology

3761
02:28:57,469 --> 02:28:55,680
before they flew to the moon it's often

3762
02:28:59,150 --> 02:28:57,479
said that the Apollo Astronauts had the

3763
02:29:01,370 --> 02:28:59,160
equivalent of a master's degree in

3764
02:29:03,650 --> 02:29:01,380
geology by the time they flew to the

3765
02:29:05,630 --> 02:29:03,660
in the intervening decades since Apollo

3766
02:29:06,889 --> 02:29:05,640
we've been training astronauts who fly

3767
02:29:09,170 --> 02:29:06,899
to the International Space Station

3768
02:29:11,150 --> 02:29:09,180
because when they're on the ISS they

3769
02:29:13,190 --> 02:29:11,160
spend time observing the Earth looking

3770
02:29:15,050 --> 02:29:13,200
out the window taking pictures of what

3771
02:29:16,849 --> 02:29:15,060
they see on the Earth's surface now that

3772
02:29:18,889 --> 02:29:16,859
we're looking at putting astronauts on

3773
02:29:20,809 --> 02:29:18,899
the surface of the Moon we also take

3774
02:29:23,150 --> 02:29:20,819
them into the field we take them to

3775
02:29:25,130 --> 02:29:23,160
field sites here on Earth that resemble

3776
02:29:27,050 --> 02:29:25,140
field sites that we expect them to see

3777
02:29:28,849 --> 02:29:27,060
on the moon that's the reason why we

3778
02:29:32,450 --> 02:29:28,859
take them out into places that are

3779
02:29:34,790 --> 02:29:32,460
unique like volcanic Landscapes or

3780
02:29:36,830 --> 02:29:34,800
places that are analogous to the lunar

3781
02:29:38,870 --> 02:29:36,840
surface to train them on the scale and

3782
02:29:41,330 --> 02:29:38,880
Fidelity of science that you just can't

3783
02:29:43,190 --> 02:29:41,340
recreate in these facilities and so by

3784
02:29:45,170 --> 02:29:43,200
combining this classroom and field

3785
02:29:47,150 --> 02:29:45,180
training we're able to prep them for

3786
02:29:49,070 --> 02:29:47,160
fundamentals of geology the major

3787
02:29:50,750 --> 02:29:49,080
driving lunar science questions that we

3788
02:29:52,910 --> 02:29:50,760
have that we hope to address with the

3789
02:29:54,650 --> 02:29:52,920
Artemis program and teaching them how to

3790
02:29:57,710 --> 02:29:54,660
do field work in relevant analog

3791
02:30:00,110 --> 02:29:57,720
environments for just science aspects of

3792
02:30:02,630 --> 02:30:00,120
developing new spacesuits can it get you

3793
02:30:04,969 --> 02:30:02,640
to where you need to go and then once

3794
02:30:07,309 --> 02:30:04,979
you get there can you do the cool

3795
02:30:09,710 --> 02:30:07,319
science that you need to do and so

3796
02:30:11,389 --> 02:30:09,720
that's can you move effectively and

3797
02:30:14,270 --> 02:30:11,399
efficiently in the suit to be able to

3798
02:30:16,370 --> 02:30:14,280
collect the samples or use the tools or

3799
02:30:17,809 --> 02:30:16,380
the instruments for the visibility it's

3800
02:30:20,570 --> 02:30:17,819
like can you make the necessary

3801
02:30:22,610 --> 02:30:20,580
observations that you need to or does

3802
02:30:24,650 --> 02:30:22,620
the suit have the lights on it that it

3803
02:30:28,190 --> 02:30:24,660
needs to to illuminate the surface and

3804
02:30:31,010 --> 02:30:28,200
make the observations you need to

3805
02:30:33,050 --> 02:30:31,020
the lunar South Pole holds tremendous

3806
02:30:35,389 --> 02:30:33,060
resources that are going to allow us to

3807
02:30:36,710 --> 02:30:35,399
continue to explore this is this is a

3808
02:30:38,990 --> 02:30:36,720
place that we've never been before

3809
02:30:40,670 --> 02:30:39,000
there's so much to be learned from

3810
02:30:43,130 --> 02:30:40,680
getting boots on the ground and

3811
02:30:45,770 --> 02:30:43,140
exploring a unique place that challenges

3812
02:30:48,110 --> 02:30:45,780
us so that humans and also helps us

3813
02:30:50,570 --> 02:30:48,120
develop technologies that make our

3814
02:30:52,550 --> 02:30:50,580
everyday life that much better we think

3815
02:30:54,590 --> 02:30:52,560
there might be volatiles present at the

3816
02:30:56,150 --> 02:30:54,600
South Pole by using these volatiles

3817
02:30:58,429 --> 02:30:56,160
we'll be able to do things like create

3818
02:31:00,349 --> 02:30:58,439
drinking water create rocket fueled

3819
02:31:01,969 --> 02:31:00,359
launch astronauts back to Earth and so

3820
02:31:03,710 --> 02:31:01,979
by harnessing the power of the land

3821
02:31:05,389 --> 02:31:03,720
we'll be able to help astronauts

3822
02:31:06,250 --> 02:31:05,399
establish that long-term sustainable

3823
02:31:14,990 --> 02:31:06,260
presence

3824
02:31:20,570 --> 02:31:17,870
it's human nature to explore pushing our

3825
02:31:22,070 --> 02:31:20,580
boundaries and exploring our universes I

3826
02:31:24,349 --> 02:31:22,080
think just one of those things that's

3827
02:31:25,849 --> 02:31:24,359
just stuck in our human nature and that

3828
02:31:28,550 --> 02:31:25,859
we need to do it in order to understand

3829
02:31:30,460 --> 02:31:28,560
the world around us including our Earth

3830
02:31:36,170 --> 02:31:30,470
and our solar system

3831
02:31:42,530 --> 02:31:39,170
we just heard there how curiosity is

3832
02:31:43,969 --> 02:31:42,540
just a part of us so with that in mind

3833
02:31:46,429 --> 02:31:43,979
why don't we do some social questions

3834
02:31:47,750 --> 02:31:46,439
because some people are very curious to

3835
02:31:49,070 --> 02:31:47,760
hear what you have to say about their

3836
02:31:52,730 --> 02:31:49,080
questions so why don't we pull up the

3837
02:31:57,290 --> 02:31:54,889
what are your thoughts on the

3838
02:31:59,750 --> 02:31:57,300
responsibilities that come with going to

3839
02:32:02,090 --> 02:31:59,760
space obviously a question for you I am

3840
02:32:04,969 --> 02:32:02,100
not going to space

3841
02:32:07,250 --> 02:32:04,979
yeah the opportunity to travel to space

3842
02:32:09,469 --> 02:32:07,260
is it comes with a lot of responsibility

3843
02:32:11,510 --> 02:32:09,479
I think for all of us it's a huge honor

3844
02:32:13,790 --> 02:32:11,520
to be a part of these teams and the work

3845
02:32:15,950 --> 02:32:13,800
we're doing is so critical in supporting

3846
02:32:17,389 --> 02:32:15,960
scientific discovery on the ground so on

3847
02:32:20,150 --> 02:32:17,399
the International Space Station we're a

3848
02:32:22,490 --> 02:32:20,160
National Laboratory our crew executed

3849
02:32:24,290 --> 02:32:22,500
over 350 different scientific

3850
02:32:26,990 --> 02:32:24,300
experiments during our six-month Mission

3851
02:32:28,730 --> 02:32:27,000
and so when you think about that it's

3852
02:32:30,469 --> 02:32:28,740
years of work to get one of these

3853
02:32:32,809 --> 02:32:30,479
payloads or an experiment on the space

3854
02:32:34,550 --> 02:32:32,819
station and sometimes that someone's

3855
02:32:37,070 --> 02:32:34,560
life's work you're holding in your hands

3856
02:32:39,110 --> 02:32:37,080
and executing and so being prepared for

3857
02:32:40,730 --> 02:32:39,120
those moments is really important and

3858
02:32:43,070 --> 02:32:40,740
understanding how to bring the team from

3859
02:32:45,830 --> 02:32:43,080
the ground into solving complex problems

3860
02:32:47,389 --> 02:32:45,840
we take that really really seriously and

3861
02:32:49,250 --> 02:32:47,399
of course we want to share what that

3862
02:32:51,770 --> 02:32:49,260
experience is like only a few people

3863
02:32:53,990 --> 02:32:51,780
have been able to go to space and as we

3864
02:32:55,670 --> 02:32:54,000
commercialize space as low earth orbit

3865
02:32:57,889 --> 02:32:55,680
becomes more accessible that'll change

3866
02:32:59,389 --> 02:32:57,899
but still it's only available to some of

3867
02:33:01,670 --> 02:32:59,399
us so we really want to share what

3868
02:33:03,650 --> 02:33:01,680
that's like and the perspective we gain

3869
02:33:05,450 --> 02:33:03,660
from our I'm up there it's really great

3870
02:33:07,250 --> 02:33:05,460
to see and hear that you guys

3871
02:33:09,050 --> 02:33:07,260
acknowledge that right like that this

3872
02:33:10,610 --> 02:33:09,060
experiment that you're holding that

3873
02:33:12,469 --> 02:33:10,620
you're working on for six months

3874
02:33:14,030 --> 02:33:12,479
somebody has been working on literally

3875
02:33:15,410 --> 02:33:14,040
for years I mean I've talked to some

3876
02:33:17,630 --> 02:33:15,420
scientists and they're saying oh this

3877
02:33:19,610 --> 02:33:17,640
has been my life's work 20 years of my

3878
02:33:21,830 --> 02:33:19,620
life's work so so yeah that was a really

3879
02:33:23,929 --> 02:33:21,840
good question I like that question a lot

3880
02:33:26,630 --> 02:33:23,939
okay we have another one from social

3881
02:33:29,150 --> 02:33:26,640
media here Astro Kayla have you

3882
02:33:31,429 --> 02:33:29,160
considered what you might say if you had

3883
02:33:35,630 --> 02:33:31,439
the opportunity to be the first female

3884
02:33:39,050 --> 02:33:35,640
to set foot on the moon's surface

3885
02:33:43,070 --> 02:33:40,910
um if I was in that role it's something

3886
02:33:45,590 --> 02:33:43,080
I would take really seriously I think

3887
02:33:47,570 --> 02:33:45,600
the iconic words of Neil Armstrong you

3888
02:33:50,450 --> 02:33:47,580
know one small step for man one giant

3889
02:33:52,250 --> 02:33:50,460
leap for mankind are something that we

3890
02:33:53,870 --> 02:33:52,260
all know whether you witness that moment

3891
02:33:56,210 --> 02:33:53,880
or not or it happened before you were

3892
02:33:58,010 --> 02:33:56,220
born for like for me I think we all have

3893
02:33:59,870 --> 02:33:58,020
that embedded in our psyche that's

3894
02:34:02,330 --> 02:33:59,880
important word so I think it's something

3895
02:34:03,950 --> 02:34:02,340
I would have to think a lot about ahead

3896
02:34:05,270 --> 02:34:03,960
of that mission yeah that would be in

3897
02:34:07,309 --> 02:34:05,280
the history books that'll be something

3898
02:34:09,530 --> 02:34:07,319
you're remembered for oh my gosh I'd be

3899
02:34:11,210 --> 02:34:09,540
so anxious delivering it even after I've

3900
02:34:13,010 --> 02:34:11,220
thought of what I want to say like to

3901
02:34:15,710 --> 02:34:13,020
actually open my mouth and say it from

3902
02:34:17,830 --> 02:34:15,720
the surface of the Moon wow yeah that

3903
02:34:20,929 --> 02:34:17,840
we'll have to think about that yeah

3904
02:34:24,110 --> 02:34:20,939
okay let's see another question here oh

3905
02:34:26,030 --> 02:34:24,120
why is the space too orange in color

3906
02:34:27,530 --> 02:34:26,040
that's an awesome question that I wish I

3907
02:34:28,790 --> 02:34:27,540
knew the answer to Megan and I were

3908
02:34:30,950 --> 02:34:28,800
actually talking about that earlier when

3909
02:34:32,750 --> 02:34:30,960
we had Snoopy up here it's a

3910
02:34:34,910 --> 02:34:32,760
continuation of the same suit that we

3911
02:34:37,309 --> 02:34:34,920
used during the shuttle era and I was

3912
02:34:39,710 --> 02:34:37,319
kind of hypothesizing that maybe it's to

3913
02:34:41,929 --> 02:34:39,720
help forces if for some reason when we

3914
02:34:43,550 --> 02:34:41,939
landed in the water we had to get out of

3915
02:34:45,469 --> 02:34:43,560
the capsule for some reason it would be

3916
02:34:47,389 --> 02:34:45,479
easy to see us

3917
02:34:48,830 --> 02:34:47,399
um but that I'm gonna have to take a

3918
02:34:50,389 --> 02:34:48,840
phone a friend on that one I think to

3919
02:34:52,490 --> 02:34:50,399
know the real answer I'm sure somebody

3920
02:34:54,050 --> 02:34:52,500
will be commenting on social media right

3921
02:34:55,790 --> 02:34:54,060
now with the what the real history was

3922
02:34:57,349 --> 02:34:55,800
I'm trying to think about it too I'm

3923
02:35:02,150 --> 02:34:57,359
thinking does it have anything to do

3924
02:35:05,090 --> 02:35:02,160
with SLS being orange because yeah

3925
02:35:06,290 --> 02:35:05,100
I don't know I don't know we got stumped

3926
02:35:07,849 --> 02:35:06,300
that was our first one that we got

3927
02:35:10,370 --> 02:35:07,859
stuffed on

3928
02:35:12,830 --> 02:35:10,380
do we have another question

3929
02:35:15,710 --> 02:35:12,840
all right if you could name one of the

3930
02:35:17,750 --> 02:35:15,720
moon's craters what would you name it oh

3931
02:35:19,790 --> 02:35:17,760
man what would you name it Megan I don't

3932
02:35:22,809 --> 02:35:19,800
know that's a big decision I thought you

3933
02:35:26,450 --> 02:35:22,819
might say the name of your zero g grass

3934
02:35:28,250 --> 02:35:26,460
yeah maybe I don't know that's a like

3935
02:35:30,889 --> 02:35:28,260
pretty big responsibility I think to

3936
02:35:32,630 --> 02:35:30,899
name these geological features and a lot

3937
02:35:34,910 --> 02:35:32,640
of the craters on the moon already have

3938
02:35:36,410 --> 02:35:34,920
names so I'm sure there's some that

3939
02:35:37,849 --> 02:35:36,420
maybe they haven't named they're too

3940
02:35:40,370 --> 02:35:37,859
small or we haven't explored them yet

3941
02:35:42,590 --> 02:35:40,380
but a lot of them already do have names

3942
02:35:44,570 --> 02:35:42,600
like we're going to be exploring the

3943
02:35:46,190 --> 02:35:44,580
edge of Shackleton crater as part of

3944
02:35:48,469 --> 02:35:46,200
Artemis Mission so a lot of them are

3945
02:35:49,849 --> 02:35:48,479
already named and mapped yeah thanks for

3946
02:35:52,429 --> 02:35:49,859
throwing it back on me I was like I

3947
02:35:55,429 --> 02:35:52,439
don't know do you think like our parents

3948
02:35:58,610 --> 02:35:55,439
or or husband or fiance are now upset

3949
02:36:00,849 --> 02:35:58,620
that we didn't say them I know I mean I

3950
02:36:03,349 --> 02:36:00,859
don't think so I think they understand

3951
02:36:05,929 --> 02:36:03,359
all right these are big decisions this

3952
02:36:08,570 --> 02:36:05,939
is all right last question here for this

3953
02:36:11,150 --> 02:36:08,580
segment at least what will Orion do when

3954
02:36:14,030 --> 02:36:11,160
it gets to the Moon

3955
02:36:16,309 --> 02:36:14,040
um so for this Mission Artemis one it's

3956
02:36:18,530 --> 02:36:16,319
actually going to orbit the Moon and

3957
02:36:20,389 --> 02:36:18,540
then go into a distant retrograde orbit

3958
02:36:23,510 --> 02:36:20,399
and so it'll get really close as close

3959
02:36:24,650 --> 02:36:23,520
as 62 miles and then go way past the

3960
02:36:26,270 --> 02:36:24,660
moon

3961
02:36:28,910 --> 02:36:26,280
um and way deeper into space than we've

3962
02:36:30,770 --> 02:36:28,920
ever been before so yeah the Orion

3963
02:36:32,150 --> 02:36:30,780
vehicle will be checking out all of its

3964
02:36:33,410 --> 02:36:32,160
systems we're going to be analyzing that

3965
02:36:34,849 --> 02:36:33,420
data from the ground and then we're

3966
02:36:36,950 --> 02:36:34,859
going to see that it can survive

3967
02:36:38,750 --> 02:36:36,960
re-entry and a successful splash down

3968
02:36:40,969 --> 02:36:38,760
off the coast of San Diego yeah yeah

3969
02:36:42,469 --> 02:36:40,979
that was a good question too okay well

3970
02:36:44,330 --> 02:36:42,479
again just keep those questions coming

3971
02:36:46,790 --> 02:36:44,340
you know we do we're entering into this

3972
02:36:48,349 --> 02:36:46,800
launch window and we do have time so

3973
02:36:51,889 --> 02:36:48,359
we'd love to hear from you and we'd love

3974
02:36:53,929 --> 02:36:51,899
to try at least to answer most of your

3975
02:36:55,130 --> 02:36:53,939
questions so you've been hearing

3976
02:36:57,230 --> 02:36:55,140
throughout the broadcast all the

3977
02:36:59,210 --> 02:36:57,240
different science that returning to the

3978
02:37:00,830 --> 02:36:59,220
moon will enable us to do so there's

3979
02:37:03,590 --> 02:37:00,840
actually something called the prime one

3980
02:37:05,690 --> 02:37:03,600
mining experiment and that's going to

3981
02:37:10,990 --> 02:37:05,700
robotically look for ice and other

3982
02:37:17,270 --> 02:37:13,849
NASA's first polar resources ice mining

3983
02:37:19,130 --> 02:37:17,280
experiment also known as prime one will

3984
02:37:23,510 --> 02:37:19,140
robotically look for ice and other

3985
02:37:28,250 --> 02:37:25,910
thanks to data from spacecraft orbiting

3986
02:37:30,530 --> 02:37:28,260
the moon scientists believe that the

3987
02:37:33,889 --> 02:37:30,540
polar regions contain Water Ice in the

3988
02:37:36,290 --> 02:37:33,899
form of ice just below the surface

3989
02:37:38,270 --> 02:37:36,300
with the right technologies that ice is

3990
02:37:40,610 --> 02:37:38,280
a game-changing resource that can be

3991
02:37:44,809 --> 02:37:40,620
mined and used to produce propellant and

3992
02:37:47,270 --> 02:37:44,819
breathable oxygen for future explorers

3993
02:37:49,730 --> 02:37:47,280
under NASA's commercial lunar payload

3994
02:37:52,490 --> 02:37:49,740
Services initiative the agency selected

3995
02:37:55,070 --> 02:37:52,500
intuitive machines to fly and land prime

3996
02:37:57,110 --> 02:37:55,080
one on the moon's South Pole

3997
02:37:59,570 --> 02:37:57,120
prime one will land near the Shackleton

3998
02:38:02,690 --> 02:37:59,580
crater to drill into the lunar soil in

3999
02:38:04,910 --> 02:38:02,700
an area that could contain Water Ice

4000
02:38:07,790 --> 02:38:04,920
prime one is made up of two instruments

4001
02:38:10,969 --> 02:38:07,800
Trident the regolith and Ice drill for

4002
02:38:12,710 --> 02:38:10,979
exploring new terrain and M solo the

4003
02:38:15,170 --> 02:38:12,720
mass spectrometer observing lunar

4004
02:38:17,690 --> 02:38:15,180
operations

4005
02:38:21,290 --> 02:38:17,700
Trident will drill up to three feet into

4006
02:38:23,270 --> 02:38:21,300
the lunar surface extract lunar soil and

4007
02:38:25,969 --> 02:38:23,280
bring it up to the surface

4008
02:38:27,950 --> 02:38:25,979
Trident drills to its maximum depth in

4009
02:38:29,389 --> 02:38:27,960
multiple phases stopping at different

4010
02:38:32,030 --> 02:38:29,399
increments

4011
02:38:34,370 --> 02:38:32,040
as it reaches each desired depth it will

4012
02:38:36,590 --> 02:38:34,380
pause and retract the drill string to

4013
02:38:39,110 --> 02:38:36,600
deposit lunar soil on the surface for

4014
02:38:41,750 --> 02:38:39,120
analysis

4015
02:38:44,450 --> 02:38:41,760
this is where M solo comes in

4016
02:38:46,849 --> 02:38:44,460
M solo is a commercial off-the-shelf

4017
02:38:48,950 --> 02:38:46,859
Mass spectrometer modified for space

4018
02:38:51,050 --> 02:38:48,960
flight it will evaluate the chemical

4019
02:38:53,450 --> 02:38:51,060
elements and compounds released from the

4020
02:38:54,889 --> 02:38:53,460
lunar soil for water and other chemical

4021
02:38:57,110 --> 02:38:54,899
compounds

4022
02:38:59,270 --> 02:38:57,120
Trident will then proceed to the next

4023
02:39:01,730 --> 02:38:59,280
specified depth and repeat the process

4024
02:39:03,469 --> 02:39:01,740
until samples at all desired depths have

4025
02:39:06,290 --> 02:39:03,479
been analyzed for water

4026
02:39:08,389 --> 02:39:06,300
if no ice is found where prime one lands

4027
02:39:10,250 --> 02:39:08,399
NASA will still collect valuable

4028
02:39:13,190 --> 02:39:10,260
information about drilling into the

4029
02:39:15,889 --> 02:39:13,200
lunar soil for a future Mission NASA's

4030
02:39:18,110 --> 02:39:15,899
Viper the volatiles investigating polar

4031
02:39:20,630 --> 02:39:18,120
exploration Rover will use prime one

4032
02:39:23,150 --> 02:39:20,640
technology on a mobile robot that will

4033
02:39:25,429 --> 02:39:23,160
navigate the moon's South Pole searching

4034
02:39:27,830 --> 02:39:25,439
for additional resources

4035
02:39:30,710 --> 02:39:27,840
prime one data will help NASA assess

4036
02:39:33,650 --> 02:39:30,720
lunar resources to inform future Artemis

4037
02:39:40,330 --> 02:39:33,660
missions and a robust human presence on

4038
02:39:46,010 --> 02:39:43,130
so we are away we are still awaiting a

4039
02:39:48,889 --> 02:39:46,020
new t0 for today's launch attempt but

4040
02:39:51,530 --> 02:39:48,899
for more on what to expect when we

4041
02:39:53,870 --> 02:39:51,540
launch for this first day let's go to

4042
02:39:55,730 --> 02:39:53,880
NASA's Dan Hewitt he's inside our Apollo

4043
02:39:57,530 --> 02:39:55,740
Saturn 5 Center at the KSC visitor

4044
02:39:59,389 --> 02:39:57,540
complex hey thanks Megan everybody

4045
02:40:01,490 --> 02:39:59,399
Welcome Back To The Moon board there's a

4046
02:40:03,710 --> 02:40:01,500
lot of people here in the complex I just

4047
02:40:05,570 --> 02:40:03,720
heard a woohoo people are getting in and

4048
02:40:06,889 --> 02:40:05,580
out because we have a great view of

4049
02:40:09,170 --> 02:40:06,899
launch when it's going to happen and

4050
02:40:11,090 --> 02:40:09,180
it's going to happen today but that

4051
02:40:12,950 --> 02:40:11,100
launch is just the first step in the

4052
02:40:15,349 --> 02:40:12,960
Artemis One mission so let's look at

4053
02:40:17,750 --> 02:40:15,359
what's ahead for this historic First

4054
02:40:20,210 --> 02:40:17,760
Flight as we just said launch is Step

4055
02:40:22,370 --> 02:40:20,220
number one those four rs-25 engines

4056
02:40:24,410 --> 02:40:22,380
throttle up followed shortly after by

4057
02:40:27,590 --> 02:40:24,420
the two solid rocket boosters igniting

4058
02:40:29,389 --> 02:40:27,600
sending SLS and Orion Skyward now on our

4059
02:40:30,590 --> 02:40:29,399
way uphill we'll have a number of Jedis

4060
02:40:34,190 --> 02:40:30,600
events you'll be able to see things

4061
02:40:36,770 --> 02:40:34,200
coming off of the SLS rocket one of the

4062
02:40:39,050 --> 02:40:36,780
most visual ones will be these two solid

4063
02:40:40,969 --> 02:40:39,060
rocket boosters now they'll expend their

4064
02:40:43,010 --> 02:40:40,979
propel a little over two minutes into

4065
02:40:45,830 --> 02:40:43,020
the flight they will separate we'll see

4066
02:40:48,170 --> 02:40:45,840
them flare off onto either side and then

4067
02:40:50,030 --> 02:40:48,180
the core stage continues to fire we're

4068
02:40:51,710 --> 02:40:50,040
also going to see the launch abort

4069
02:40:53,690 --> 02:40:51,720
system come off the top once you get

4070
02:40:55,429 --> 02:40:53,700
high enough in the atmosphere it's no

4071
02:40:58,309 --> 02:40:55,439
longer required you could actually do

4072
02:41:01,010 --> 02:40:58,319
aborts using engines on Orion and its

4073
02:41:02,690 --> 02:41:01,020
service module I will also note that on

4074
02:41:04,849 --> 02:41:02,700
the launch abort system it's got those

4075
02:41:07,490 --> 02:41:04,859
three solid rocket Motors the jettison

4076
02:41:09,530 --> 02:41:07,500
motor is active the abort and the

4077
02:41:11,750 --> 02:41:09,540
attitude ones are not for this flight we

4078
02:41:14,210 --> 02:41:11,760
don't have people so we're not flying a

4079
02:41:16,790 --> 02:41:14,220
fully active abort system we also have

4080
02:41:19,070 --> 02:41:16,800
three fairings that are there to protect

4081
02:41:20,690 --> 02:41:19,080
Orion the service module and the crew

4082
02:41:22,730 --> 02:41:20,700
module as we're flying up through the

4083
02:41:26,090 --> 02:41:22,740
really dense parts of the Earth's

4084
02:41:28,670 --> 02:41:26,100
atmosphere next up we'll hit core stage

4085
02:41:31,190 --> 02:41:28,680
separation so we've got four main

4086
02:41:33,170 --> 02:41:31,200
engines we'll hear Mikko main engine cut

4087
02:41:35,690 --> 02:41:33,180
off those engines will shut down the

4088
02:41:37,490 --> 02:41:35,700
core stage will separate drop away it's

4089
02:41:40,190 --> 02:41:37,500
eventually going to splash down in the

4090
02:41:42,590 --> 02:41:40,200
ocean and that hands over the propulsion

4091
02:41:45,170 --> 02:41:42,600
duties to this our upper stage the

4092
02:41:46,790 --> 02:41:45,180
interim cryogenic propulsion stage or

4093
02:41:49,429 --> 02:41:46,800
icps

4094
02:41:51,349 --> 02:41:49,439
its first job is to execute what's known

4095
02:41:54,050 --> 02:41:51,359
as a perigee raised maneuver so the

4096
02:41:55,730 --> 02:41:54,060
perigee is the lowest part of your orbit

4097
02:41:57,889 --> 02:41:55,740
you have a perigee that's your low part

4098
02:41:59,690 --> 02:41:57,899
an apogee that's your highest point

4099
02:42:01,070 --> 02:41:59,700
we're going to raise up the perigee and

4100
02:42:04,010 --> 02:42:01,080
that's going to actually put us in a

4101
02:42:06,050 --> 02:42:04,020
nice circular path around the planet and

4102
02:42:08,510 --> 02:42:06,060
while we're there that gives us time to

4103
02:42:10,910 --> 02:42:08,520
check out Orion we're flying it in space

4104
02:42:13,130 --> 02:42:10,920
for the second time the first time in

4105
02:42:15,410 --> 02:42:13,140
this fully integrated stack with SLS

4106
02:42:17,809 --> 02:42:15,420
we'll be able to look at all of Orion's

4107
02:42:19,790 --> 02:42:17,819
systems make sure those solar arrays are

4108
02:42:22,010 --> 02:42:19,800
capturing the sun's energy and turning

4109
02:42:24,230 --> 02:42:22,020
it into electrical power for Orion

4110
02:42:25,969 --> 02:42:24,240
systems make sure the communications are

4111
02:42:28,370 --> 02:42:25,979
working all of our guidance navigation

4112
02:42:29,929 --> 02:42:28,380
within control that is your time to make

4113
02:42:32,450 --> 02:42:29,939
sure you have a healthy spacecraft

4114
02:42:34,670 --> 02:42:32,460
before you do something that is going to

4115
02:42:37,130 --> 02:42:34,680
send it to the moon and that's next up

4116
02:42:39,469 --> 02:42:37,140
on our list that's the trans lunar

4117
02:42:41,750 --> 02:42:39,479
injection for today's launch profile

4118
02:42:44,090 --> 02:42:41,760
that's going to be a firing of about 18

4119
02:42:46,490 --> 02:42:44,100
minutes of that single engine on the

4120
02:42:49,309 --> 02:42:46,500
upper stage now that engine optimized

4121
02:42:51,110 --> 02:42:49,319
for about vacuum it's producing about 24

4122
02:42:53,150 --> 02:42:51,120
000 pounds of thrust so it's a pretty

4123
02:42:55,550 --> 02:42:53,160
big engine and it's doing that because

4124
02:42:58,070 --> 02:42:55,560
we need enough energy

4125
02:43:01,190 --> 02:42:58,080
to be able to send our payload Orion

4126
02:43:03,530 --> 02:43:01,200
Beyond low earth orbit and send it on a

4127
02:43:05,990 --> 02:43:03,540
path to head out to the Moon

4128
02:43:08,389 --> 02:43:06,000
now after that burn is complete icps

4129
02:43:10,969 --> 02:43:08,399
separates it's going to do what's called

4130
02:43:15,110 --> 02:43:10,979
a disposal burn so it's going to send

4131
02:43:17,510 --> 02:43:15,120
itself on a path from Earth around the

4132
02:43:19,910 --> 02:43:17,520
moon and slingshot out into what's known

4133
02:43:22,309 --> 02:43:19,920
as a heliocentric orbit so it's going to

4134
02:43:25,550 --> 02:43:22,319
completely leave the Earth Moon system

4135
02:43:28,010 --> 02:43:25,560
and go into orbit around our sun

4136
02:43:29,809 --> 02:43:28,020
but after it separates propulsion duties

4137
02:43:32,330 --> 02:43:29,819
get handed over to this the European

4138
02:43:33,770 --> 02:43:32,340
service module and it's got a couple of

4139
02:43:35,330 --> 02:43:33,780
different engines that it's going to be

4140
02:43:37,429 --> 02:43:35,340
using and we're going to be testing

4141
02:43:39,650 --> 02:43:37,439
those out just on day one we're going to

4142
02:43:42,410 --> 02:43:39,660
do what's called the outbound trajectory

4143
02:43:44,150 --> 02:43:42,420
correction burn one and we'll do a

4144
02:43:45,889 --> 02:43:44,160
couple of these trajectory corrections

4145
02:43:48,349 --> 02:43:45,899
as we're flying out to the moon but that

4146
02:43:49,849 --> 02:43:48,359
first one is that first critical test of

4147
02:43:51,950 --> 02:43:49,859
this large engine the orbital

4148
02:43:53,570 --> 02:43:51,960
maneuvering system engine that's the one

4149
02:43:56,150 --> 02:43:53,580
that has the most thrust generating

4150
02:43:57,410 --> 02:43:56,160
about six thousand pounds of force in a

4151
02:44:00,110 --> 02:43:57,420
vacuum and that's what's going to be

4152
02:44:01,730 --> 02:44:00,120
doing a lot of our Maneuvers are giving

4153
02:44:03,710 --> 02:44:01,740
us that pushing power as we do these

4154
02:44:05,990 --> 02:44:03,720
Maneuvers around the Moon to enter into

4155
02:44:09,410 --> 02:44:06,000
what's known as distant retrograde orbit

4156
02:44:11,690 --> 02:44:09,420
or Dro and that's this dotted line that

4157
02:44:14,030 --> 02:44:11,700
you see around here now we call it

4158
02:44:15,469 --> 02:44:14,040
distant basically because of the

4159
02:44:18,410 --> 02:44:15,479
distance we're away from the Moon we're

4160
02:44:20,389 --> 02:44:18,420
about 40 000 miles a little bit less off

4161
02:44:22,550 --> 02:44:20,399
the lunar surface and then we call it

4162
02:44:24,889 --> 02:44:22,560
retrograde because the moon orbiting

4163
02:44:26,870 --> 02:44:24,899
planet Earth in this direction going in

4164
02:44:28,610 --> 02:44:26,880
a counter clockwise wise fashion we're

4165
02:44:31,010 --> 02:44:28,620
going to be entering into a clockwise

4166
02:44:33,830 --> 02:44:31,020
orbit around the Moon opposite

4167
02:44:36,410 --> 02:44:33,840
retrograde now to do that we're going to

4168
02:44:37,910 --> 02:44:36,420
get in close we're going to dip in off

4169
02:44:41,270 --> 02:44:37,920
the lunar surface we're going to be

4170
02:44:43,070 --> 02:44:41,280
about 80 miles 80 statute miles off the

4171
02:44:45,530 --> 02:44:43,080
lunar surface as we do this outbound

4172
02:44:47,150 --> 02:44:45,540
powered flyby again the major thrust

4173
02:44:50,090 --> 02:44:47,160
coming from that orbital maneuvering

4174
02:44:52,309 --> 02:44:50,100
system engine after we do that we'll do

4175
02:44:54,770 --> 02:44:52,319
a final maneuver to actually go into

4176
02:44:57,710 --> 02:44:54,780
that distant retrograde orbit that Dro

4177
02:44:59,690 --> 02:44:57,720
now why Dro why are we not just going

4178
02:45:01,730 --> 02:44:59,700
around the moon and coming back on like

4179
02:45:04,490 --> 02:45:01,740
a free return trajectory which he did on

4180
02:45:06,469 --> 02:45:04,500
some of the Apollo missions well in Dro

4181
02:45:09,349 --> 02:45:06,479
it's a very stable orbit it doesn't

4182
02:45:11,270 --> 02:45:09,359
require a lot of fuel to maintain that

4183
02:45:13,250 --> 02:45:11,280
area around the moon so it gives you a

4184
02:45:15,650 --> 02:45:13,260
lot of time to really test the

4185
02:45:17,750 --> 02:45:15,660
spacecraft if you followed with any

4186
02:45:19,670 --> 02:45:17,760
launch of a new spacecraft you know

4187
02:45:21,950 --> 02:45:19,680
there's only so much testing you can do

4188
02:45:24,590 --> 02:45:21,960
on the ground once you actually put all

4189
02:45:25,910 --> 02:45:24,600
of that Hardware in space in the

4190
02:45:28,550 --> 02:45:25,920
environment that it's going to be be

4191
02:45:30,410 --> 02:45:28,560
operating hundreds of thousands of vials

4192
02:45:32,450 --> 02:45:30,420
away from Earth you're going to learn

4193
02:45:34,969 --> 02:45:32,460
things you didn't even realize about

4194
02:45:36,410 --> 02:45:34,979
everything from Communications the life

4195
02:45:38,809 --> 02:45:36,420
support systems the thermal control

4196
02:45:40,550 --> 02:45:38,819
everything on a spacecraft needs to get

4197
02:45:42,889 --> 02:45:40,560
put through its Paces in this

4198
02:45:44,270 --> 02:45:42,899
environment before we put people on

4199
02:45:45,650 --> 02:45:44,280
board and that's why we're heading out

4200
02:45:47,630 --> 02:45:45,660
to Dro

4201
02:45:49,790 --> 02:45:47,640
eventually though it's going to be time

4202
02:45:52,490 --> 02:45:49,800
to come home and we will do a Dro

4203
02:45:53,990 --> 02:45:52,500
departure maneuver this again firing up

4204
02:45:56,210 --> 02:45:54,000
that orbital maneuvering system engine

4205
02:45:58,250 --> 02:45:56,220
and others on the service module and

4206
02:46:00,469 --> 02:45:58,260
this is what's going to commit us from

4207
02:46:02,990 --> 02:46:00,479
leaving the moon and heading on back

4208
02:46:05,150 --> 02:46:03,000
towards Earth we'll dip in Once More

4209
02:46:07,550 --> 02:46:05,160
close off the lunar surface and

4210
02:46:10,250 --> 02:46:07,560
slingshot and use the lunar gravity to

4211
02:46:12,110 --> 02:46:10,260
do this return powered flyby and then

4212
02:46:14,150 --> 02:46:12,120
similar to the way out we can make

4213
02:46:17,570 --> 02:46:14,160
correction Burns as we kind of fine tune

4214
02:46:19,969 --> 02:46:17,580
our path back towards the Earth and then

4215
02:46:21,530 --> 02:46:19,979
it's time for re-entry a couple of

4216
02:46:22,969 --> 02:46:21,540
things happen before that one of the

4217
02:46:25,429 --> 02:46:22,979
really critical ones spacecraft

4218
02:46:27,349 --> 02:46:25,439
separation we're going to detach the

4219
02:46:30,410 --> 02:46:27,359
European service module shortly before

4220
02:46:32,570 --> 02:46:30,420
re-entry its job largely done that burns

4221
02:46:35,270 --> 02:46:32,580
up in the Earth's atmosphere and reveals

4222
02:46:38,090 --> 02:46:35,280
on the crew module the heat shield I

4223
02:46:40,969 --> 02:46:38,100
circled it earlier this is goal number

4224
02:46:43,790 --> 02:46:40,979
one of the Artemis Mission Artemis One

4225
02:46:46,190 --> 02:46:43,800
mission is testing this heat shield at

4226
02:46:47,809 --> 02:46:46,200
lunar return velocities because when we

4227
02:46:50,030 --> 02:46:47,819
make that trip around the moon and we

4228
02:46:53,030 --> 02:46:50,040
come back we are going in speeds of

4229
02:46:55,130 --> 02:46:53,040
excess of 20 000 miles an hour so when

4230
02:46:56,630 --> 02:46:55,140
we slam into the Earth's atmosphere it's

4231
02:46:59,110 --> 02:46:56,640
going to heat that thing up to more

4232
02:47:01,790 --> 02:46:59,120
excuse me more than 5 000 degrees

4233
02:47:03,230 --> 02:47:01,800
Fahrenheit uh for the Artemis one

4234
02:47:06,170 --> 02:47:03,240
profile we're going to do what's known

4235
02:47:08,330 --> 02:47:06,180
as the skip re-entry so basically you

4236
02:47:11,809 --> 02:47:08,340
can come into shallow and Skip off the

4237
02:47:13,429 --> 02:47:11,819
atmosphere to to narrow and you're going

4238
02:47:15,590 --> 02:47:13,439
to do what's known as a ballistic entry

4239
02:47:17,270 --> 02:47:15,600
which really Heats things up we're going

4240
02:47:19,610 --> 02:47:17,280
to do kind of a mix where we're going to

4241
02:47:21,050 --> 02:47:19,620
skip once off the atmosphere and that

4242
02:47:23,090 --> 02:47:21,060
we're still going to get the heat but

4243
02:47:25,969 --> 02:47:23,100
that helps to reduce some of the G loads

4244
02:47:28,190 --> 02:47:25,979
on the crew once you're through that you

4245
02:47:30,550 --> 02:47:28,200
get to parachute deploy there's 11

4246
02:47:33,710 --> 02:47:30,560
parachutes in total that are going to

4247
02:47:35,630 --> 02:47:33,720
slow Orion down before it splashes down

4248
02:47:37,790 --> 02:47:35,640
we're going to be going from 20 000

4249
02:47:40,429 --> 02:47:37,800
miles an hour to about 300 miles an hour

4250
02:47:42,889 --> 02:47:40,439
before those parachutes deploy and then

4251
02:47:44,510 --> 02:47:42,899
they do a final job of getting it in the

4252
02:47:46,849 --> 02:47:44,520
water in the South Pacific we've got

4253
02:47:48,710 --> 02:47:46,859
these big Orange balloons that's an

4254
02:47:50,809 --> 02:47:48,720
uprighting system so

4255
02:47:53,929 --> 02:47:50,819
even if Orion landed in the water upside

4256
02:47:55,490 --> 02:47:53,939
down those can those can inflate and

4257
02:47:57,050 --> 02:47:55,500
they put us back up right into what's

4258
02:47:58,490 --> 02:47:57,060
known as stable one that's where you

4259
02:48:00,530 --> 02:47:58,500
want your spacecraft to be nice and

4260
02:48:02,090 --> 02:48:00,540
upright in the water especially if

4261
02:48:05,510 --> 02:48:02,100
you're an astronaut and they're floating

4262
02:48:07,730 --> 02:48:05,520
now we also have a large U.S Navy ship

4263
02:48:10,130 --> 02:48:07,740
with a big Bay that's going to basically

4264
02:48:11,750 --> 02:48:10,140
come up and swallow Orion into its deck

4265
02:48:14,210 --> 02:48:11,760
and you've got a couple of other assets

4266
02:48:16,010 --> 02:48:14,220
in the area to help recover Hardware the

4267
02:48:18,230 --> 02:48:16,020
forward bait cover parachutes things

4268
02:48:21,950 --> 02:48:18,240
like that but that's scheduled to happen

4269
02:48:24,349 --> 02:48:21,960
26 days after a launch today so that's

4270
02:48:27,770 --> 02:48:24,359
26 days from liftoff here in Florida

4271
02:48:30,469 --> 02:48:27,780
around the Moon to a Splashdown in the

4272
02:48:32,870 --> 02:48:30,479
Pacific and that will be the first

4273
02:48:35,030 --> 02:48:32,880
mission in the Artemis program the

4274
02:48:38,270 --> 02:48:35,040
farthest we've ever sent a human rated

4275
02:48:40,370 --> 02:48:38,280
spacecraft in history and just the first

4276
02:48:42,349 --> 02:48:40,380
step before we put people on board so

4277
02:48:44,330 --> 02:48:42,359
that's a look at everything still to

4278
02:48:46,610 --> 02:48:44,340
come we're counting down to that launch

4279
02:48:49,070 --> 02:48:46,620
I'll send it back over to Megan and the

4280
02:48:50,630 --> 02:48:49,080
team at the host desk guys there very

4281
02:48:52,550 --> 02:48:50,640
comprehensive look at that thank you so

4282
02:48:54,590 --> 02:48:52,560
much Dan if you're just joining us

4283
02:48:57,410 --> 02:48:54,600
welcome to Kennedy Space Center and our

4284
02:48:59,090 --> 02:48:57,420
live coverage of Artemis one an uncrewed

4285
02:49:01,670 --> 02:48:59,100
flight tests that will return us to the

4286
02:49:04,849 --> 02:49:01,680
Moon in nearly 50 years but you know

4287
02:49:07,550 --> 02:49:04,859
some might ask why the moon well here's

4288
02:49:07,560 --> 02:49:11,570
we are going

4289
02:49:17,630 --> 02:49:14,750
the history of this agency is marked

4290
02:49:18,969 --> 02:49:17,640
with broken barriers once viewed as

4291
02:49:22,610 --> 02:49:18,979
impossible

4292
02:49:25,370 --> 02:49:22,620
with science fiction turned reality

4293
02:49:28,070 --> 02:49:25,380
with innovations that have spun

4294
02:49:32,750 --> 02:49:28,080
Industries all their own

4295
02:49:36,070 --> 02:49:32,760
and with demonstrations of Peace for all

4296
02:49:44,030 --> 02:49:40,270
soar in the skies of our home planet

4297
02:49:47,510 --> 02:49:44,040
we maintain a human presence just

4298
02:49:51,410 --> 02:49:47,520
outside of gravity and we touch points

4299
02:49:54,469 --> 02:49:51,420
all across the solar system and beyond

4300
02:49:56,110 --> 02:49:54,479
we're going back to the moon and this is

4301
02:49:58,790 --> 02:49:56,120
why

4302
02:50:01,610 --> 02:49:58,800
the Moon is a treasure Trove of science

4303
02:50:04,370 --> 02:50:01,620
it holds opportunities for us to make

4304
02:50:07,490 --> 02:50:04,380
discoveries about our home planet about

4305
02:50:08,929 --> 02:50:07,500
our sun and a better solar system the

4306
02:50:11,210 --> 02:50:08,939
wealth of knowledge to be gleaned from

4307
02:50:14,510 --> 02:50:11,220
the moon will inspire a new generation

4308
02:50:16,790 --> 02:50:14,520
of thought and action without fail every

4309
02:50:19,130 --> 02:50:16,800
major program and mission NASA has

4310
02:50:20,929 --> 02:50:19,140
invested in has led to Technologies and

4311
02:50:23,210 --> 02:50:20,939
capabilities that have shaped our

4312
02:50:26,090 --> 02:50:23,220
culture the breakthroughs of the Artemis

4313
02:50:27,710 --> 02:50:26,100
era will Define Our Generation and the

4314
02:50:30,170 --> 02:50:27,720
generations to follow

4315
02:50:32,570 --> 02:50:30,180
the tens of thousands of jobs associated

4316
02:50:34,610 --> 02:50:32,580
with propelling us to the Moon today are

4317
02:50:37,010 --> 02:50:34,620
just the beginning of a lunar economy

4318
02:50:39,770 --> 02:50:37,020
that will see hundreds of thousands of

4319
02:50:41,809 --> 02:50:39,780
new jobs developed around the world the

4320
02:50:44,030 --> 02:50:41,819
this is not an ambition of one entity or

4321
02:50:47,270 --> 02:50:44,040
one country the exploration of the moon

4322
02:50:49,910 --> 02:50:47,280
is a shared effort woven together by a

4323
02:50:52,730 --> 02:50:49,920
desire for the greater good why the moon

4324
02:50:55,070 --> 02:50:52,740
because the missions of Tomorrow Will Be

4325
02:50:57,830 --> 02:50:55,080
sparked by the accomplishments of the

4326
02:51:01,190 --> 02:50:57,840
Artemis generation today because the

4327
02:51:03,170 --> 02:51:01,200
ambition to go has already begun and

4328
02:51:04,610 --> 02:51:03,180
because Mars is calling we need to learn

4329
02:51:07,550 --> 02:51:04,620
what it takes to establish a community

4330
02:51:10,570 --> 02:51:07,560
upon another Cosmic Shore so let's Camp

4331
02:51:14,450 --> 02:51:10,580
close before pushing out

4332
02:51:17,710 --> 02:51:14,460
and so we go to the moon now not as a

4333
02:51:21,349 --> 02:51:17,720
series of isolated missions

4334
02:51:24,770 --> 02:51:21,359
but to build a community on and around

4335
02:51:27,110 --> 02:51:24,780
the Moon capable of proving how to live

4336
02:51:31,969 --> 02:51:27,120
on other worlds

4337
02:51:37,130 --> 02:51:33,889
we'll use the lessons for more than 50

4338
02:51:39,170 --> 02:51:37,140
years of peaceful exploration to send a

4339
02:51:41,570 --> 02:51:39,180
new generation to the lunar surface to

4340
02:51:43,370 --> 02:51:41,580
stay we will anchor our efforts on the

4341
02:51:45,590 --> 02:51:43,380
lunar South Pole to establish the

4342
02:51:48,349 --> 02:51:45,600
artemis-based camp positioning us for

4343
02:51:50,750 --> 02:51:48,359
long-term science and exploration of the

4344
02:51:53,570 --> 02:51:50,760
lunar surface we will prove what it

4345
02:51:56,349 --> 02:51:53,580
takes to assemble a complex ship in deep

4346
02:52:00,290 --> 02:51:56,359
space we will perfect

4347
02:52:02,630 --> 02:52:00,300
and returning from a distance service we

4348
02:52:04,190 --> 02:52:02,640
will learn how humans can survive and

4349
02:52:06,469 --> 02:52:04,200
thrive in the partial gravity

4350
02:52:08,630 --> 02:52:06,479
environment with improved spacesuit

4351
02:52:10,550 --> 02:52:08,640
designs mobile habitats and with

4352
02:52:12,530 --> 02:52:10,560
reconnaissance robots pre-positioning

4353
02:52:14,750 --> 02:52:12,540
and relocating supplies

4354
02:52:17,150 --> 02:52:14,760
to learn how to utilize the resources we

4355
02:52:18,769 --> 02:52:17,160
find other worlds starting with finding

4356
02:52:20,809 --> 02:52:18,779
water rights and purifying it to

4357
02:52:23,870 --> 02:52:20,819
drinkable water and then finding that

4358
02:52:26,630 --> 02:52:23,880
into hydrogen Supply and oxygen to leave

4359
02:52:29,090 --> 02:52:26,640
we will establish fission power plants

4360
02:52:30,950 --> 02:52:29,100
on the surface of the Moon capable of

4361
02:52:33,769 --> 02:52:30,960
supporting a growing community of

4362
02:52:35,990 --> 02:52:33,779
efforts and we will expand the logistics

4363
02:52:38,630 --> 02:52:36,000
supply chain to enable commercial and

4364
02:52:42,309 --> 02:52:38,640
international Partners to resupply and

4365
02:52:47,269 --> 02:52:42,319
refuel deep space outposts

4366
02:52:50,290 --> 02:52:47,279
none of this is simple or easy but

4367
02:52:52,790 --> 02:52:50,300
nothing in our history ever has been

4368
02:52:55,190 --> 02:52:52,800
you got a bunch of guys about to turn

4369
02:52:57,710 --> 02:52:55,200
blue we're breathing again thanks a lot

4370
02:53:00,530 --> 02:52:57,720
this kind of continuous lunar presence

4371
02:53:03,309 --> 02:53:00,540
is a natural extension of all that we've

4372
02:53:06,590 --> 02:53:03,319
learned in low earth orbit

4373
02:53:09,349 --> 02:53:06,600
and what we will accomplish there will

4374
02:53:11,889 --> 02:53:09,359
ensure the Monumental missions to Mars

4375
02:53:15,230 --> 02:53:11,899
are within reach

4376
02:53:17,210 --> 02:53:15,240
as we ready the launch of the first

4377
02:53:19,610 --> 02:53:17,220
Artemis mission

4378
02:53:22,250 --> 02:53:19,620
and as commercial companies ready their

4379
02:53:24,230 --> 02:53:22,260
lunar Landers for the first private

4380
02:53:29,210 --> 02:53:24,240
payload deliveries

4381
02:53:29,470 --> 02:53:29,220
we have already begun to take the next

4382
02:53:39,050 --> 02:53:29,480
step

4383
02:53:43,730 --> 02:53:41,389
throughout this launch broadcast our

4384
02:53:45,950 --> 02:53:43,740
NASA's Leah Martin has been introducing

4385
02:53:48,710 --> 02:53:45,960
us to people over at the Kennedy Space

4386
02:53:51,349 --> 02:53:48,720
Center Visitor complex who have come out

4387
02:53:54,050 --> 02:53:51,359
for hopefully the maiden voyage of

4388
02:53:57,349 --> 02:53:54,060
Artemis one people from near and far

4389
02:54:00,710 --> 02:53:57,359
young and old just really excited to

4390
02:54:02,630 --> 02:54:00,720
hopefully see this historic flight so

4391
02:54:04,730 --> 02:54:02,640
now she's joined by somebody else who

4392
02:54:07,130 --> 02:54:04,740
has a really interesting story Leah tell

4393
02:54:09,290 --> 02:54:07,140
us about it Megan I think one of the

4394
02:54:10,910 --> 02:54:09,300
most exciting things about being here

4395
02:54:13,790 --> 02:54:10,920
tonight is being with people who are

4396
02:54:15,290 --> 02:54:13,800
like-minded who have such a strong tie

4397
02:54:17,330 --> 02:54:15,300
to the history of our nation's space

4398
02:54:18,889 --> 02:54:17,340
program and their love of space flight

4399
02:54:20,570 --> 02:54:18,899
and I actually struck up an amazing

4400
02:54:22,429 --> 02:54:20,580
conversation with Scott here and you

4401
02:54:23,990 --> 02:54:22,439
were telling me about the special tie

4402
02:54:27,170 --> 02:54:24,000
that you have to tonight's launch as

4403
02:54:29,450 --> 02:54:27,180
well oh yeah I grew up literally grew up

4404
02:54:33,290 --> 02:54:29,460
with NASA my father went to work with

4405
02:54:34,969 --> 02:54:33,300
the NACA before NASA went to work for Dr

4406
02:54:37,309 --> 02:54:34,979
Von Braun followed him over to Marshall

4407
02:54:38,750 --> 02:54:37,319
space flight center and became you know

4408
02:54:40,790 --> 02:54:38,760
when it became NASA

4409
02:54:44,450 --> 02:54:40,800
he worked on the Jupiter C Redstone

4410
02:54:47,330 --> 02:54:44,460
Saturn one Saturn V and then because of

4411
02:54:48,530 --> 02:54:47,340
that he brought me here to see Apollo 11

4412
02:54:53,510 --> 02:54:48,540
launch

4413
02:54:57,889 --> 02:54:53,520
years old and loved it still remember

4414
02:55:00,710 --> 02:54:57,899
the sound that's about all but and then

4415
02:55:02,750 --> 02:55:00,720
years later through my flying career

4416
02:55:05,030 --> 02:55:02,760
I was able to bring my sons back with my

4417
02:55:07,429 --> 02:55:05,040
friends that flew the shuttle and they

4418
02:55:10,370 --> 02:55:07,439
saw five launches and

4419
02:55:12,349 --> 02:55:10,380
four Landings but basically I wanted to

4420
02:55:14,389 --> 02:55:12,359
be here I was here for the first moon

4421
02:55:19,190 --> 02:55:14,399
launch

4422
02:55:22,130 --> 02:55:19,200
Gene cernan our family friend went to

4423
02:55:24,050 --> 02:55:22,140
Apollo 17. so I wanted to be here for

4424
02:55:26,150 --> 02:55:24,060
this because it's it's kind of in our

4425
02:55:28,010 --> 02:55:26,160
family in our blood

4426
02:55:30,290 --> 02:55:28,020
and hopefully I'll be around for the

4427
02:55:37,610 --> 02:55:30,300
next one when we go and land again so

4428
02:55:41,570 --> 02:55:39,050
what I knew most of the German

4429
02:55:44,690 --> 02:55:41,580
scientists the kids sit in our lap Dr

4430
02:55:46,429 --> 02:55:44,700
Ernst sterlinger and my father fluid Von

4431
02:55:49,790 --> 02:55:46,439
Braun because he was a general aviation

4432
02:55:52,790 --> 02:55:49,800
pilot as well so they get off work and

4433
02:55:53,929 --> 02:55:52,800
fly and it was they were in Life

4434
02:55:55,969 --> 02:55:53,939
Magazine together

4435
02:55:57,650 --> 02:55:55,979
National Geographic so it was fun I

4436
02:56:01,309 --> 02:55:57,660
literally got to

4437
02:56:02,510 --> 02:56:01,319
knew Al Shepherd all the Mercury Gemini

4438
02:56:04,969 --> 02:56:02,520
Apollo guys

4439
02:56:06,830 --> 02:56:04,979
and it was an honor I I would have loved

4440
02:56:07,969 --> 02:56:06,840
to been an astronaut but I went a

4441
02:56:10,429 --> 02:56:07,979
different route

4442
02:56:13,010 --> 02:56:10,439
and but I can still come here and see

4443
02:56:14,870 --> 02:56:13,020
him the weekend and we're so so grateful

4444
02:56:16,670 --> 02:56:14,880
so thrilled to see you here tonight and

4445
02:56:18,530 --> 02:56:16,680
so excited that you will be able to

4446
02:56:19,670 --> 02:56:18,540
actually compare the last launch in the

4447
02:56:21,410 --> 02:56:19,680
sound of the last one with the one

4448
02:56:24,730 --> 02:56:21,420
tonight it's absolutely gonna rock this

4449
02:56:28,309 --> 02:56:26,690
well thanks so much for joining us

4450
02:56:31,250 --> 02:56:28,319
tonight it's been an honor to meet you

4451
02:56:32,750 --> 02:56:31,260
and Megan we're going back to you

4452
02:56:35,150 --> 02:56:32,760
So yeah thank you so much for sharing

4453
02:56:37,370 --> 02:56:35,160
that that was such a fun story here we

4454
02:56:39,830 --> 02:56:37,380
are now at Space Center Houston this is

4455
02:56:43,670 --> 02:56:39,840
a live look inside of the visitor center

4456
02:56:45,590 --> 02:56:43,680
there uh lots of people uh hoping to see

4457
02:56:47,750 --> 02:56:45,600
the launch today I love this guy in the

4458
02:56:50,630 --> 02:56:47,760
front with his NASA shirt representing

4459
02:56:53,389 --> 02:56:50,640
uh and again just seeing children and

4460
02:56:56,269 --> 02:56:53,399
young and old just all these people who

4461
02:56:59,690 --> 02:56:56,279
uh feel captivated and are excited about

4462
02:57:02,990 --> 02:56:59,700
our next giant leap into deep space so

4463
02:57:05,870 --> 02:57:03,000
glad to have them here oh my gosh I love

4464
02:57:07,730 --> 02:57:05,880
this yeah the team in Marshall in

4465
02:57:09,830 --> 02:57:07,740
Huntsville there is always ready for

4466
02:57:12,110 --> 02:57:09,840
their shot even their flags are super

4467
02:57:14,510 --> 02:57:12,120
pumped that's the home to the SLS

4468
02:57:15,550 --> 02:57:14,520
program office so they have a dog in the

4469
02:57:18,170 --> 02:57:15,560
fight tonight

4470
02:57:18,889 --> 02:57:18,180
Artemis launch for the first time is

4471
02:57:20,389 --> 02:57:18,899
that

4472
02:57:22,550 --> 02:57:20,399
inflatable

4473
02:57:24,550 --> 02:57:22,560
astronaut in the center Center do you

4474
02:57:27,710 --> 02:57:24,560
see that I think somebody is dressed up

4475
02:57:29,269 --> 02:57:27,720
yeah we're ready to go I love this yeah

4476
02:57:31,130 --> 02:57:29,279
I'm so glad that they're there again

4477
02:57:33,590 --> 02:57:31,140
these visitor centers are closed to the

4478
02:57:35,510 --> 02:57:33,600
public but uh you know the people there

4479
02:57:37,190 --> 02:57:35,520
decided to hold a watch party oh look

4480
02:57:39,490 --> 02:57:37,200
how excited because Germany are you

4481
02:57:41,990 --> 02:57:39,500
ready for us this time

4482
02:57:44,870 --> 02:57:42,000
anticipated the delay they look pumped

4483
02:57:47,870 --> 02:57:44,880
and ready to go so these are employees

4484
02:57:49,790 --> 02:57:47,880
of Airbus Airbus is the main contractor

4485
02:57:51,769 --> 02:57:49,800
for the European space agency and

4486
02:57:53,929 --> 02:57:51,779
together they provided the European

4487
02:57:55,910 --> 02:57:53,939
service module for the Orion spacecraft

4488
02:57:58,370 --> 02:57:55,920
so really we should be applauding them

4489
02:58:00,349 --> 02:57:58,380
they shouldn't be athletic thank you so

4490
02:58:03,050 --> 02:58:00,359
much guys for your contribution to the

4491
02:58:05,150 --> 02:58:03,060
program and and can't wait to see Orion

4492
02:58:06,950 --> 02:58:05,160
and SLS launch

4493
02:58:09,050 --> 02:58:06,960
okay so now let's head back over to

4494
02:58:11,570 --> 02:58:09,060
Daryl nail over with the launch Team so

4495
02:58:14,570 --> 02:58:11,580
we can hear any updates about a new t0

4496
02:58:17,210 --> 02:58:14,580
yeah Megan thank you and uh a clear

4497
02:58:19,250 --> 02:58:17,220
picture is starting to emerge as the

4498
02:58:22,010 --> 02:58:19,260
launch Team now reports out that they

4499
02:58:24,170 --> 02:58:22,020
only have a few minutes left of work to

4500
02:58:27,170 --> 02:58:24,180
do before they're ready to pick up

4501
02:58:28,910 --> 02:58:27,180
polling and uh we're also hearing that

4502
02:58:31,550 --> 02:58:28,920
some of that polling which kicks off

4503
02:58:33,650 --> 02:58:31,560
with the mission management team is also

4504
02:58:35,389 --> 02:58:33,660
now just about three and a half minutes

4505
02:58:39,710 --> 02:58:35,399
away

4506
02:58:43,670 --> 02:58:39,720
now we are currently still in that hold

4507
02:58:46,670 --> 02:58:43,680
but uh the launch Team NASA NASA's test

4508
02:58:48,349 --> 02:58:46,680
director is uh continuing to move the

4509
02:58:50,870 --> 02:58:48,359
team forward

4510
02:58:52,969 --> 02:58:50,880
we've wrapped up work

4511
02:58:54,830 --> 02:58:52,979
um on the upper stage

4512
02:58:58,910 --> 02:58:54,840
and the lower stage you're looking now

4513
02:59:01,010 --> 02:58:58,920
live inside firing room one

4514
02:59:02,570 --> 02:59:01,020
we're launch director Charlie Blackwell

4515
02:59:05,750 --> 02:59:02,580
Thompson is

4516
02:59:07,790 --> 02:59:05,760
overseeing her launch Team

4517
02:59:10,969 --> 02:59:07,800
we've had a number of delays that have

4518
02:59:13,849 --> 02:59:10,979
put us off the t0

4519
02:59:16,309 --> 02:59:13,859
but we are starting to track

4520
02:59:18,950 --> 02:59:16,319
to a t0

4521
02:59:23,030 --> 02:59:18,960
close to around

4522
02:59:28,370 --> 02:59:25,250
but we do

4523
02:59:30,889 --> 02:59:28,380
need to have some polling

4524
02:59:33,889 --> 02:59:30,899
that takes place I'm pausing now because

4525
02:59:41,269 --> 02:59:33,899
I'm listening in to the teams as they

4526
02:59:45,530 --> 02:59:44,150
in this launch window which we're

4527
02:59:48,110 --> 02:59:45,540
currently

4528
02:59:51,469 --> 02:59:48,120
26 minutes into and it's two hours long

4529
02:59:54,110 --> 02:59:51,479
it runs until 304 a.m Eastern Time

4530
02:59:56,750 --> 02:59:54,120
we have what's called 40 cutouts

4531
02:59:59,750 --> 02:59:56,760
and in those cutouts they range from

4532
03:00:02,090 --> 02:59:59,760
about a second to about a minute These

4533
03:00:05,150 --> 03:00:02,100
are times where they can't launch

4534
03:00:13,670 --> 03:00:05,160
these cutouts must be accounted for when

4535
03:00:18,710 --> 03:00:15,950
the upper stage of

4536
03:00:21,170 --> 03:00:18,720
the rocket which was the last to get

4537
03:00:24,349 --> 03:00:21,180
ready and configured

4538
03:00:28,790 --> 03:00:24,359
just recently the team cycled the liquid

4539
03:00:31,429 --> 03:00:28,800
hydrogen valves which is required

4540
03:00:33,710 --> 03:00:31,439
and they are currently working on the

4541
03:00:48,650 --> 03:00:33,720
lo2 valves liquid oxygen valves in the

4542
03:00:55,790 --> 03:00:51,710
we are now a minute and a half away from

4543
03:00:58,910 --> 03:00:55,800
the pole of the mission management team

4544
03:01:07,849 --> 03:00:58,920
which is several minutes before

4545
03:01:12,530 --> 03:01:10,370
when that poll starts we'll get a

4546
03:01:28,730 --> 03:01:12,540
clearer picture

4547
03:01:36,590 --> 03:01:32,210
NASA NASA's test director has informed

4548
03:01:38,690 --> 03:01:36,600
the launch Team to all switch to a

4549
03:01:40,849 --> 03:01:38,700
common Communication channel it's called

4550
03:01:44,269 --> 03:01:40,859
230

4551
03:01:50,870 --> 03:01:46,969
and what this means is

4552
03:01:54,410 --> 03:01:50,880
that the entire launch team is now on

4553
03:01:58,130 --> 03:01:57,050
and all future communication will happen

4554
03:02:02,330 --> 03:01:58,140
there

4555
03:02:11,929 --> 03:02:02,340
now they

4556
03:02:16,250 --> 03:02:14,269
just heard from NASA test director

count and launch Artemis one

4609
03:05:57,170 --> 03:05:55,439
copy lunch director and thank you

4610
03:05:58,490 --> 03:05:57,180
all right we do have a couple of steps

4611
03:06:01,849 --> 03:05:58,500
to configure and then we will be ready

4612
03:06:03,889 --> 03:06:01,859
to resume the clock cvse NTD cvsc here

4613
03:06:06,170 --> 03:06:03,899
initiate recording of Orion cameras at

4614
03:06:09,889 --> 03:06:06,180
this time in work

4615
03:06:14,330 --> 03:06:09,899
our NTD rsr here perform the booster

NDT rsr booster ignition sna arm and

4617
03:06:23,330 --> 03:06:20,520
rotation enable is complete and I copy

4618
03:06:29,510 --> 03:06:25,849
okay so there you heard the poll from

4619
03:06:29,520 --> 03:06:35,269
early

4620
03:06:35,279 --> 03:06:46,190
getting ready to get that new t0 time

4621
03:06:50,870 --> 03:06:48,590
the poll that you heard was the NASA

4622
03:06:52,309 --> 03:06:50,880
test director's poll and all right and

4623
03:06:54,410 --> 03:06:52,319
we have verified no cutouts at this time

4624
03:06:56,510 --> 03:06:54,420
and all Personnel we are going to resume

4625
03:07:00,650 --> 03:06:56,520
the clock

4626
03:07:02,809 --> 03:07:00,660
mark TLS copies countdown clock will

4627
03:07:06,309 --> 03:07:02,819
resume on my mark

4628
03:07:08,809 --> 03:07:06,319
three two one

4629
03:07:10,730 --> 03:07:08,819
GLS main line has been initiated okay

4630
03:07:13,190 --> 03:07:10,740
minus 10 minutes and Counting we are T

4631
03:07:15,469 --> 03:07:13,200
minus 10 minutes away from liftoff of

4632
03:07:17,929 --> 03:07:15,479
Artemis one as you can see the clock is

4633
03:07:21,230 --> 03:07:17,939
now moving let's put that up

4634
03:07:22,690 --> 03:07:21,240
T minus 9 minutes and 47 seconds the L

4635
03:07:26,929 --> 03:07:22,700
minus

4636
03:07:33,730 --> 03:07:26,939
18.6 47 44 is a new lift up time affirm

4637
03:07:47,210 --> 03:07:39,349
oh 147 44 1 47 a.m eastern time and 44

4638
03:07:47,220 --> 03:07:53,510
we went straight into terminal count

4639
03:07:53,520 --> 03:08:01,730
foreign

4640
03:08:07,130 --> 03:08:04,490
so terminal count

4641
03:08:10,610 --> 03:08:07,140
control has been given over to

4642
03:08:12,710 --> 03:08:10,620
the GLS the ground launch sequencer a

4643
03:08:15,290 --> 03:08:12,720
computer and software that is doing all

4644
03:08:23,150 --> 03:08:15,300
of the commanding and monitoring

4645
03:08:27,110 --> 03:08:25,849
we'll hear call outs from the GLS

4646
03:08:34,130 --> 03:08:27,120
operator

4647
03:08:38,870 --> 03:08:36,349
as well as NASA test director Jeff

4648
03:08:41,269 --> 03:08:38,880
Spalding

4649
03:08:43,370 --> 03:08:41,279
GLS is pre-tensioning the umbilicals at

4650
03:08:45,290 --> 03:08:43,380
this very moment you can see them as

4651
03:08:49,490 --> 03:08:45,300
they run down the rocket that's getting

4652
03:08:54,230 --> 03:08:51,650
and lift off those arms will swing away

4653
03:09:02,920 --> 03:08:54,240
we'll let go of the rocket in a

4654
03:09:07,990 --> 03:09:05,570
[Music]

4655
03:09:10,090 --> 03:09:08,000
T-minus eight minutes and Counting

4656
03:09:12,830 --> 03:09:10,100
[Music]

4657
03:09:15,170 --> 03:09:12,840
the GLS is a

4658
03:09:18,490 --> 03:09:15,180
performing up to a hundred commands per

4659
03:09:27,290 --> 03:09:21,230
including configuring ground systems for

4660
03:09:31,790 --> 03:09:29,269
GLS is turning on cameras recording

4661
03:09:37,630 --> 03:09:31,800
video inside and outside the crew module

4662
03:09:42,410 --> 03:09:40,250
purging the outskirt booster with high

4663
03:09:45,110 --> 03:09:42,420
flow nitrogen

4664
03:09:56,210 --> 03:09:45,120
clear out any hydrogen gas that may be

4665
03:09:59,330 --> 03:09:57,889
you can see the crew access arm is

4666
03:10:02,570 --> 03:09:59,340
already retracted

4667
03:10:05,030 --> 03:10:02,580
when there is crew during Artemis 2

4668
03:10:06,950 --> 03:10:05,040
it would happen at T minus six minutes

4669
03:10:09,110 --> 03:10:06,960
but out of abundance of caution they

4670
03:10:15,110 --> 03:10:09,120
went ahead and retracted the arm well

4671
03:10:18,290 --> 03:10:16,610
want to point your attention to the base

4672
03:10:20,870 --> 03:10:18,300
of the mobile launcher if something

4673
03:10:22,969 --> 03:10:20,880
wasn't done to reduce the power from the

4674
03:10:25,250 --> 03:10:22,979
pressure caused by the Rocket's ignition

4675
03:10:27,530 --> 03:10:25,260
and thunderous sound it could damage the

4676
03:10:29,210 --> 03:10:27,540
rocket so the ignition over pressure and

4677
03:10:30,830 --> 03:10:29,220
sound suppression system will flood the

4678
03:10:33,110 --> 03:10:30,840
mobile launcher with water

4679
03:10:38,450 --> 03:10:33,120
you'll see that sequence start at T

4680
03:10:42,410 --> 03:10:40,250
now coming up in less than 30 seconds

4681
03:10:45,170 --> 03:10:42,420
the ground launch sequencer will start

4682
03:10:58,370 --> 03:10:45,180
bringing the high energy systems online

4683
03:11:02,809 --> 03:11:01,010
fire number one is

4684
03:11:06,469 --> 03:11:02,819
completely silent

4685
03:11:11,389 --> 03:11:08,630
gls's go for core stage tank

4686
03:11:13,990 --> 03:11:11,399
pressurization

4687
03:11:18,410 --> 03:11:14,000
the core stage tank is now pressuring

4688
03:11:25,849 --> 03:11:21,050
the replenish valve to the liquid

4689
03:11:30,410 --> 03:11:27,710
the liquid oxygen tank will come a

4690
03:11:41,950 --> 03:11:32,990
now we're arming your the Orion ascent

4691
03:11:46,910 --> 03:11:44,150
we'll launch a board system or Las

4692
03:11:48,710 --> 03:11:46,920
jettison motor is now armed on this

4693
03:11:50,809 --> 03:11:48,720
flight the abort motor is inactive

4694
03:11:53,809 --> 03:11:50,819
because there is no crew on board up

4695
03:11:56,990 --> 03:11:53,819
next is the flight termination system

4696
03:11:58,670 --> 03:11:57,000
or FTS which gives the space force the

4697
03:12:00,590 --> 03:11:58,680
ability to destruct the rocket if it

4698
03:12:06,349 --> 03:12:00,600
goes in the wrong direction let's listen

4699
03:12:11,570 --> 03:12:09,170
DLS go for FPS arm

4700
03:12:12,769 --> 03:12:11,580
the flight termination system is now

4701
03:12:15,050 --> 03:12:12,779
armed

4702
03:12:17,389 --> 03:12:15,060
coming up at four minutes and 40 seconds

4703
03:12:18,830 --> 03:12:17,399
a big moment this is where the rs-25

4704
03:12:20,750 --> 03:12:18,840
engines

4705
03:12:25,929 --> 03:12:20,760
and their bleed go to high flow it's

4706
03:12:25,939 --> 03:12:37,070
GLS go for lh2 high flow bleed check

4707
03:12:42,349 --> 03:12:39,650
good word we've passed that

4708
03:12:46,130 --> 03:12:42,359
the cryo team got the lh2 engine bleed

4709
03:12:50,450 --> 03:12:47,750
they are now at the right temperature

4710
03:12:53,870 --> 03:12:50,460
for launch countdown continues

4711
03:12:56,570 --> 03:12:53,880
T-minus four minutes 15 seconds

4712
03:12:58,370 --> 03:12:56,580
up next GLS fires up the capoos those

4713
03:13:00,290 --> 03:12:58,380
are high-speed turbines which provide

4714
03:13:02,929 --> 03:13:00,300
pressure to hydraulic pumps that steer

4715
03:13:04,610 --> 03:13:02,939
the rs-25s

4716
03:13:06,349 --> 03:13:04,620
stands for core stage auxiliary power

4717
03:13:09,769 --> 03:13:06,359
unit start

4718
03:13:12,710 --> 03:13:09,779
s go for Core State Apu Stark

4719
03:13:15,290 --> 03:13:12,720
that now leads to the thrust vector

4720
03:13:17,990 --> 03:13:15,300
control test at T minus two minutes and

4721
03:13:19,190 --> 03:13:18,000
30 seconds that can proceed now and we

4722
03:13:21,830 --> 03:13:19,200
will see

4723
03:13:35,870 --> 03:13:21,840
the engine's gimbal at the bottom of the

4724
03:13:39,769 --> 03:13:37,670
at T minus three minutes and 10 seconds

4725
03:13:42,710 --> 03:13:39,779
you will hear the go for Purge sequence

4726
03:13:44,870 --> 03:13:42,720
form that's a helium Purge of the four

4727
03:13:46,969 --> 03:13:44,880
core stage engines Downstream of the

4728
03:13:50,510 --> 03:13:46,979
propellant valve getting the air and

4729
03:13:50,520 --> 03:13:59,030
foreign

4730
03:14:04,849 --> 03:14:01,250
and in just a few seconds GLS will close

4731
03:14:06,769 --> 03:14:04,859
the core stage locks vent liquid oxygen

4732
03:14:08,929 --> 03:14:06,779
the white Vapor Cloud caused the super

4733
03:14:11,630 --> 03:14:08,939
cold gaseous oxygen condensing the water

4734
03:14:15,650 --> 03:14:11,640
in the atmosphere will disappear you see

4735
03:14:19,849 --> 03:14:18,050
and there it goes it's closed locks vent

4736
03:14:23,450 --> 03:14:19,859
closed pressure rising in the core stage

4737
03:14:25,969 --> 03:14:23,460
Lux tank to flight levels

4738
03:14:29,269 --> 03:14:25,979
coming up in 15 seconds look for that

4739
03:14:36,290 --> 03:14:29,279
thrust vector control actuator test

4740
03:14:43,670 --> 03:14:39,050
and there they go

4741
03:14:46,490 --> 03:14:43,680
before core stage rs25 engines gimbaling

4742
03:14:50,290 --> 03:14:46,500
around testing the ability to steer the

4743
03:14:57,349 --> 03:14:53,990
they will operate at 109 performance

4744
03:15:00,050 --> 03:14:57,359
each rs-25 thrown down a half million

4745
03:15:02,230 --> 03:15:00,060
pounds of thrust all four two million

4746
03:15:05,030 --> 03:15:02,240
pounds all together with the boosters

4747
03:15:07,130 --> 03:15:05,040
8.8 million pounds of thrust yeah let's

4748
03:15:08,750 --> 03:15:07,140
go for upper stage to internal power now

4749
03:15:09,830 --> 03:15:08,760
the upper stage has gone to internal

4750
03:15:14,570 --> 03:15:09,840
power

4751
03:15:16,670 --> 03:15:14,580
upper stage the icps and it's been

4752
03:15:19,070 --> 03:15:16,680
switched to battery power

4753
03:15:22,070 --> 03:15:19,080
the same Milestone is coming up for the

4754
03:15:36,230 --> 03:15:22,080
core stage at T minus one minute and 30

4755
03:15:39,710 --> 03:15:38,510
GLS scope or core stage to internal

4756
03:15:42,050 --> 03:15:39,720
power

4757
03:15:44,330 --> 03:15:42,060
the Rocket's core stage which houses the

4758
03:15:46,610 --> 03:15:44,340
three flight computers is now on battery

4759
03:15:48,830 --> 03:15:46,620
power so there is no more hold time

4760
03:15:51,830 --> 03:15:48,840
available because there's no more margin

4761
03:15:54,469 --> 03:15:51,840
on the battery so if we hold have a hold

4762
03:15:57,469 --> 03:15:54,479
we'd have to recycle back to T minus 10

4763
03:15:59,870 --> 03:15:57,479
minutes and recharge those batteries

4764
03:16:05,690 --> 03:15:59,880
the count continues

4765
03:16:10,010 --> 03:16:08,330
one minute shortly after liftoff Mission

4766
03:16:12,410 --> 03:16:10,020
Control Houston will take control of the

4767
03:16:14,929 --> 03:16:12,420
rocket and my colleague Leah Cheshire

4768
03:16:16,910 --> 03:16:14,939
will take over commentary T-minus 50

4769
03:16:19,429 --> 03:16:16,920
seconds and counting

4770
03:16:21,590 --> 03:16:19,439
coming up at T's minus 33 seconds the

4771
03:16:23,809 --> 03:16:21,600
GLS will hand off control to the ALS

4772
03:16:25,790 --> 03:16:23,819
this is the autonomous launch sequencer

4773
03:16:28,910 --> 03:16:25,800
on board the rocket it will take over

4774
03:16:30,889 --> 03:16:28,920
command and control of the rocket but

4775
03:16:33,050 --> 03:16:30,899
the ALS will check make sure there's no

4776
03:16:35,150 --> 03:16:33,060
holds coming from the ground up until T

4777
03:16:38,510 --> 03:16:35,160
minus two seconds go for Ayla and we are

4778
03:16:41,030 --> 03:16:38,520
go for ALS the space launch system is

4779
03:16:45,230 --> 03:16:41,040
now counting down to liftoff of Orion on

4780
03:16:49,429 --> 03:16:46,910
launch Team can no longer recycle the

4781
03:16:54,110 --> 03:16:51,769
ER pressure water now flowing under the

4782
03:16:58,269 --> 03:16:55,550
and here we go

4783
03:17:03,830 --> 03:16:58,279
10 hydrogen burnoff igniters initiate

4784
03:17:08,090 --> 03:17:03,840
seven six five four stage engine start

4785
03:17:11,150 --> 03:17:08,100
three two one booster's indictions

4786
03:17:22,130 --> 03:17:11,160
and liftoff of Artemis one we rise

4787
03:17:26,150 --> 03:17:24,590
all four rs-25 engines on the core stage

4788
03:17:28,670 --> 03:17:26,160
and two solid rocket boosters now

4789
03:17:33,349 --> 03:17:28,680
propelling the vehicle at 128 miles per

4790
03:17:37,250 --> 03:17:35,929
good good control on the role from teams

4791
03:17:39,530 --> 03:17:37,260
in Mission Control Houston all good

4792
03:17:41,269 --> 03:17:39,540
calls so far now 30 seconds into the

4793
03:17:43,010 --> 03:17:41,279
flight Harvest one

4794
03:17:44,929 --> 03:17:43,020
first Milestone will be fourth the

4795
03:17:46,969 --> 03:17:44,939
vehicle's past the max Q in about one

4796
03:17:48,710 --> 03:17:46,979
minute and nine seconds into launch this

4797
03:17:56,570 --> 03:17:48,720
is the greatest period of atmospheric

4798
03:17:56,580 --> 03:18:05,929
SLS now traveling 607 miles per hour

4799
03:18:10,670 --> 03:18:07,969
you're looking at 8.8 million pounds of

4800
03:18:14,330 --> 03:18:10,680
Maximum thrust quiet here

4801
03:18:29,330 --> 03:18:16,490
course agents and throttling down ahead

4802
03:18:36,349 --> 03:18:31,550
tax now one minute 21 seconds into the

4803
03:18:38,150 --> 03:18:36,359
flight traveling at 1 420 miles per hour

4804
03:18:42,410 --> 03:18:38,160
before core stage engines are back at

4805
03:18:46,670 --> 03:18:44,750
the next major Milestone will be for the

4806
03:18:48,410 --> 03:18:46,680
solid rocket boosters to cut off in

4807
03:18:50,210 --> 03:18:48,420
jettison in about two minutes and 11

4808
03:18:52,370 --> 03:18:50,220
seconds into the flight so about 30

4809
03:18:54,170 --> 03:18:52,380
seconds from now

4810
03:18:56,450 --> 03:18:54,180
again quiet here in Mission Control

4811
03:18:58,849 --> 03:18:56,460
Houston as teams continue monitoring the

4812
03:19:00,889 --> 03:18:58,859
flight of Artemis one

4813
03:19:02,210 --> 03:19:00,899
we're now 16 miles downrange from the

4814
03:19:10,130 --> 03:19:02,220
launch pad at Kennedy Space Center

4815
03:19:23,469 --> 03:19:11,809
standing by for solid rocket booster

4816
03:19:28,429 --> 03:19:25,610
confirmation that the solid rocket

4817
03:19:30,710 --> 03:19:28,439
boosters have separated these 177-foot

4818
03:19:32,570 --> 03:19:30,720
boosters

4819
03:19:35,450 --> 03:19:32,580
now the core stage continues to power

4820
03:19:38,630 --> 03:19:35,460
the flight of Orion all Force rs-25

4821
03:19:43,809 --> 03:19:38,640
engines firing traveling over 3 400

4822
03:19:48,349 --> 03:19:46,550
two minutes and 36 seconds into the

4823
03:19:49,849 --> 03:19:48,359
flight

4824
03:19:51,830 --> 03:19:49,859
hearing nominal calls here in Mission

4825
03:19:53,630 --> 03:19:51,840
Control Houston

4826
03:19:55,610 --> 03:19:53,640
we've still got four good engines on the

4827
03:19:57,290 --> 03:19:55,620
core stage next up we'll be looking for

4828
03:19:59,570 --> 03:19:57,300
the service module fairing to separate

4829
03:20:01,370 --> 03:19:59,580
this is three 15 by 15 foot fairing

4830
03:20:03,469 --> 03:20:01,380
panels providing structural support

4831
03:20:05,269 --> 03:20:03,479
protecting the service module those will

4832
03:20:07,130 --> 03:20:05,279
separate about 3 minutes and 11 seconds

4833
03:20:09,050 --> 03:20:07,140
into flight and very shortly thereafter

4834
03:20:13,910 --> 03:20:09,060
will be followed by the launch abort

4835
03:20:18,650 --> 03:20:16,070
just over three minutes into the flight

4836
03:20:22,730 --> 03:20:18,660
of Artemis 1 now traveling over 4060

4837
03:20:24,349 --> 03:20:22,740
miles per hour 83 miles downrange

4838
03:20:32,210 --> 03:20:24,359
we just had confirmation that the

4839
03:20:36,530 --> 03:20:34,190
and that the launch abort system pyros

4840
03:20:37,790 --> 03:20:36,540
have fired separating those from Orion

4841
03:20:51,889 --> 03:20:37,800
as well

4842
03:20:55,730 --> 03:20:53,450
we just heard the call for three engine

4843
03:20:57,170 --> 03:20:55,740
press meaning if SLS were to lose an

4844
03:20:59,030 --> 03:20:57,180
engine at this point in the mission we

4845
03:21:00,530 --> 03:20:59,040
could still achieve a nominal Mission we

4846
03:21:02,630 --> 03:21:00,540
would just have an extended main engine

4847
03:21:04,969 --> 03:21:02,640
cut off time however we still have four

4848
03:21:07,370 --> 03:21:04,979
good engines all at maximum thrust right

4849
03:21:11,030 --> 03:21:07,380
now powering the first flight of Artemis

4850
03:21:24,769 --> 03:21:11,040
at 5200 miles per hour 148 miles

4851
03:21:29,210 --> 03:21:26,990
we're four minutes and 16 seconds into

4852
03:21:32,630 --> 03:21:29,220
the flight of Artemis 1

4853
03:21:34,130 --> 03:21:32,640
. so far we've had a clean Ascent we saw

4854
03:21:35,870 --> 03:21:34,140
those solid rocket boosters jettison

4855
03:21:38,150 --> 03:21:35,880
about two minutes and 11 seconds after

4856
03:21:40,730 --> 03:21:38,160
liftoff shortly after we had the service

4857
03:21:43,010 --> 03:21:40,740
module parent panels fairings separate

4858
03:21:44,809 --> 03:21:43,020
as well as the launch abort system the

4859
03:21:51,650 --> 03:21:44,819
launch abort system was inert for this

4860
03:21:56,210 --> 03:21:53,809
those four core stage engines will

4861
03:21:59,510 --> 03:21:56,220
continue to Fire and power the flight of

4862
03:22:04,090 --> 03:21:59,520
Artemis one now traveling over 6 800

4863
03:22:06,650 --> 03:22:04,100
miles per hour 229 miles downrange

4864
03:22:15,110 --> 03:22:06,660
booster flight controller reports that

4865
03:22:18,590 --> 03:22:17,210
our core stage main engine cutoff time

4866
03:22:20,750 --> 03:22:18,600
is about eight minutes and three seconds

4867
03:22:24,950 --> 03:22:20,760
we are now at five minutes and 11

4868
03:22:28,490 --> 03:22:24,960
seconds into the flight 77 656 miles per

4869
03:22:36,349 --> 03:22:31,550
again four good core stage engines those

4870
03:22:39,889 --> 03:22:38,090
the last time those core stage engines

4871
03:22:41,510 --> 03:22:39,899
flew they were taking space shuttles to

4872
03:22:43,130 --> 03:22:41,520
orbit now with upgraded capabilities

4873
03:22:49,130 --> 03:22:43,140
they're launching the future of human

4874
03:22:54,469 --> 03:22:52,070
five minutes and 42 seconds into the

4875
03:22:57,410 --> 03:22:54,479
mission we are now traveling 8 800 miles

4876
03:23:03,769 --> 03:22:57,420
per hour 345 miles downrange from the

4877
03:23:08,030 --> 03:23:06,650
again we are anticipating core stage

4878
03:23:10,130 --> 03:23:08,040
main engine caught off at about eight

4879
03:23:11,809 --> 03:23:10,140
minutes and three seconds and about 10

4880
03:23:13,849 --> 03:23:11,819
seconds later we'll see core stage

4881
03:23:15,530 --> 03:23:13,859
separation at which point Orion and the

4882
03:23:19,849 --> 03:23:15,540
interim cryogenic propulsion stage will

4883
03:23:24,769 --> 03:23:22,429
now traveling over 10 000 miles per hour

4884
03:23:28,190 --> 03:23:24,779
6 minutes and 15 seconds into the flight

4885
03:23:29,809 --> 03:23:28,200
of Artemis 1 427 miles downrange quiet

4886
03:23:32,210 --> 03:23:29,819
here on the loops in Mission Control

4887
03:23:43,370 --> 03:23:32,220
Houston teams continue to monitor this

4888
03:23:48,050 --> 03:23:45,769
about a minute and a half now until that

4889
03:23:49,910 --> 03:23:48,060
core stage main engine cut off time our

4890
03:24:04,849 --> 03:23:49,920
four core stage engines continue to fire

4891
03:24:08,990 --> 03:24:06,650
coming up on seven minutes since launch

4892
03:24:12,830 --> 03:24:09,000
today now traveling over 12 800 miles

4893
03:24:22,429 --> 03:24:12,840
per hour 563 miles downrange again still

4894
03:24:27,769 --> 03:24:25,190
as we prepare for main engine cutoff the

4895
03:24:41,570 --> 03:24:27,779
four rs-25 engines are beginning to

4896
03:24:45,710 --> 03:24:43,670
30 seconds now until core stage main

4897
03:24:52,490 --> 03:24:45,720
engine cut off all four engines continue

4898
03:24:57,469 --> 03:24:55,250
now seven minutes 45 seconds into the

4899
03:25:00,769 --> 03:24:57,479
flight traveling over 16 000 miles per

4900
03:25:04,969 --> 03:25:02,870
continuing to hear good calls here in

4901
03:25:07,190 --> 03:25:04,979
Mission Control Houston

4902
03:25:17,690 --> 03:25:07,200
we're standing by for core stage main

4903
03:25:23,030 --> 03:25:20,090
and we have confirmation of course stage

4904
03:25:24,830 --> 03:25:23,040
main engine cutoff Orion and it's now in

4905
03:25:26,809 --> 03:25:24,840
Earth's orbit

4906
03:25:29,450 --> 03:25:26,819
the flight Dynamics officer reports that

4907
03:25:31,250 --> 03:25:29,460
we have a nominal main engine cutoff

4908
03:25:33,889 --> 03:25:31,260
and we just heard the call for core

4909
03:25:35,630 --> 03:25:33,899
stage separation that means Orion and

4910
03:25:37,550 --> 03:25:35,640
the interim cryogenic propulsion stage

4911
03:25:39,650 --> 03:25:37,560
are now flying free from the core stage

4912
03:25:41,690 --> 03:25:39,660
of the space launch system the next

4913
03:25:44,090 --> 03:25:41,700
Milestone will be solar array deploy

4914
03:25:46,130 --> 03:25:44,100
approximately 18 minutes after liftoff

4915
03:25:48,050 --> 03:25:46,140
but before Orion stretches its wings

4916
03:25:49,729 --> 03:25:48,060
let's check back in with our friends at

4917
03:25:52,309 --> 03:25:49,739
Kennedy Space Center and hear all about

4918
03:25:54,710 --> 03:25:52,319
what it was like to hear the rocket Roar

4919
03:25:57,050 --> 03:25:54,720
off the launch pad Megan and Kayla I've

4920
03:25:58,550 --> 03:25:57,060
got to hear all about it well if you're

4921
03:26:00,410 --> 03:25:58,560
just joining us welcome to NASA's

4922
03:26:03,229 --> 03:26:00,420
Kennedy Space Center where we just

4923
03:26:05,630 --> 03:26:03,239
watched Artemis 1 launch our first step

4924
03:26:07,849 --> 03:26:05,640
towards our next adventure into deep

4925
03:26:10,190 --> 03:26:07,859
space as Leah said I'm NASA's Megan Cruz

4926
03:26:12,769 --> 03:26:10,200
and this is NASA astronaut Kayla Varan

4927
03:26:14,690 --> 03:26:12,779
and I'm kind of still giddy and

4928
03:26:16,849 --> 03:26:14,700
speechless I don't even know how to

4929
03:26:18,950 --> 03:26:16,859
explain how I'm feeling right now I feel

4930
03:26:20,630 --> 03:26:18,960
the same way this is the first launch

4931
03:26:24,530 --> 03:26:20,640
that I've been able to watch in person

4932
03:26:26,570 --> 03:26:24,540
and I've got to say it was incredible I

4933
03:26:29,630 --> 03:26:26,580
was just took my breath away and I was

4934
03:26:31,849 --> 03:26:29,640
tearing up just what an amazing

4935
03:26:33,290 --> 03:26:31,859
accomplishment for this team this

4936
03:26:35,030 --> 03:26:33,300
international team people who have been

4937
03:26:36,830 --> 03:26:35,040
dedicating their careers to getting this

4938
03:26:38,330 --> 03:26:36,840
rocket off the ground and taking the

4939
03:26:40,130 --> 03:26:38,340
first step to getting a crew on that

4940
03:26:42,590 --> 03:26:40,140
vehicle back to the Moon it was just

4941
03:26:44,389 --> 03:26:42,600
incredible yeah this is a moment I think

4942
03:26:46,670 --> 03:26:44,399
that we're all going to remember where

4943
03:26:48,290 --> 03:26:46,680
we were when we saw this sort of thing

4944
03:26:50,389 --> 03:26:48,300
you know what I mean and it was great to

4945
03:26:52,670 --> 03:26:50,399
see again when we entered into terminal

4946
03:26:54,469 --> 03:26:52,680
count everybody here just started

4947
03:26:57,710 --> 03:26:54,479
cheering you know coming out to get a

4948
03:27:00,050 --> 03:26:57,720
really good view and boy I mean it lit

4949
03:27:01,490 --> 03:27:00,060
up the night sky and it just shook

4950
03:27:04,070 --> 03:27:01,500
everything around us did you feel that

4951
03:27:06,710 --> 03:27:04,080
like in my bones I felt that oh yeah the

4952
03:27:08,450 --> 03:27:06,720
I mean the cool thing is just kind of

4953
03:27:11,030 --> 03:27:08,460
the delay between what you see it yes

4954
03:27:13,130 --> 03:27:11,040
here because of course the sound travels

4955
03:27:15,469 --> 03:27:13,140
a little bit slower and it was just

4956
03:27:18,410 --> 03:27:15,479
amazing the the ground shook we could

4957
03:27:21,349 --> 03:27:18,420
hear the thrust pushing that rocket into

4958
03:27:23,450 --> 03:27:21,359
space 8.8 million pounds of thrust yes

4959
03:27:25,309 --> 03:27:23,460
it's incredible it was amazing to see

4960
03:27:27,349 --> 03:27:25,319
here live in person how does it compare

4961
03:27:28,670 --> 03:27:27,359
so this is your first launch on the

4962
03:27:30,290 --> 03:27:28,680
ground how does it compare to your

4963
03:27:33,110 --> 03:27:30,300
launch when you're in the capsule

4964
03:27:35,630 --> 03:27:33,120
soaring towards space I mean

4965
03:27:37,190 --> 03:27:35,640
equally emotional I think one that we

4966
03:27:38,929 --> 03:27:37,200
train for everything and so when we're

4967
03:27:40,490 --> 03:27:38,939
in that capsule waiting for launch we're

4968
03:27:42,530 --> 03:27:40,500
just running our procedures you could

4969
03:27:43,670 --> 03:27:42,540
almost you know trick us and say that

4970
03:27:46,429 --> 03:27:43,680
we're in the simulator and it wasn't

4971
03:27:48,050 --> 03:27:46,439
real but like in that moment of liftoff

4972
03:27:50,510 --> 03:27:48,060
when the thrust builds underneath you

4973
03:27:52,849 --> 03:27:50,520
like we saw it today it's just hard not

4974
03:27:55,010 --> 03:27:52,859
to be overwhelmed by the emotional

4975
03:27:57,229 --> 03:27:55,020
experience the excitement the joy of

4976
03:27:59,990 --> 03:27:57,239
that moment it's incredible yeah I I

4977
03:28:02,690 --> 03:28:00,000
think we can't say it enough this team

4978
03:28:05,630 --> 03:28:02,700
really deserved this moment they've been

4979
03:28:07,550 --> 03:28:05,640
working so hard for this moment when I

4980
03:28:10,370 --> 03:28:07,560
heard that we got into terminal count it

4981
03:28:12,830 --> 03:28:10,380
was I felt a sense of relief and

4982
03:28:14,630 --> 03:28:12,840
excitement for them that I think

4983
03:28:16,610 --> 03:28:14,640
everybody here did you know we really

4984
03:28:19,670 --> 03:28:16,620
wanted them to succeed we really wanted

4985
03:28:22,309 --> 03:28:19,680
to see the launch today and wow I I will

4986
03:28:24,290 --> 03:28:22,319
never forget this me neither it was an

4987
03:28:25,790 --> 03:28:24,300
incredible experience to be here and see

4988
03:28:27,650 --> 03:28:25,800
that happen yeah was there anything that

4989
03:28:29,210 --> 03:28:27,660
was particularly surprising to you again

4990
03:28:30,830 --> 03:28:29,220
this is your first launch you know what

4991
03:28:33,290 --> 03:28:30,840
were you expecting

4992
03:28:35,690 --> 03:28:33,300
you know I think we also had a nighttime

4993
03:28:38,150 --> 03:28:35,700
launch for our launch and so I I think

4994
03:28:40,070 --> 03:28:38,160
one thing you underestimate is how much

4995
03:28:41,990 --> 03:28:40,080
it lights up the nights yeah we were

4996
03:28:44,389 --> 03:28:42,000
able to watch it all the way through

4997
03:28:46,309 --> 03:28:44,399
that trajectory we were able to see the

4998
03:28:48,229 --> 03:28:46,319
boosters separate and everything so it

4999
03:28:50,150 --> 03:28:48,239
was just an incredible view it's amazing

5000
03:28:51,769 --> 03:28:50,160
how much you get to see of the flight

5001
03:28:53,090 --> 03:28:51,779
path when it's at night and sliding up

5002
03:28:55,729 --> 03:28:53,100
the sky yeah and I don't know if you

5003
03:28:58,130 --> 03:28:55,739
notice this but we see the moon here and

5004
03:29:00,410 --> 03:28:58,140
it and the trajectory of the rocket

5005
03:29:01,550 --> 03:29:00,420
looked like it was flying towards me you

5006
03:29:04,490 --> 03:29:01,560
know what I mean I was like oh my God

5007
03:29:06,769 --> 03:29:04,500
that's so poetic it's so beautiful I'm

5008
03:29:08,630 --> 03:29:06,779
so glad we launched today yeah wow

5009
03:29:10,250 --> 03:29:08,640
congratulations to the team it's

5010
03:29:12,170 --> 03:29:10,260
incredible we're gonna head over to

5011
03:29:14,750 --> 03:29:12,180
Daryl who was at the launch Team Daryl

5012
03:29:17,090 --> 03:29:14,760
you got to count us down through that uh

5013
03:29:20,090 --> 03:29:17,100
uh through liftoff I mean how was that

5014
03:29:22,610 --> 03:29:20,100
being in the launch launch uh control

5015
03:29:24,710 --> 03:29:22,620
center with them

5016
03:29:26,450 --> 03:29:24,720

else I got to tell you you're looking

5018
03:29:30,590 --> 03:29:28,140
live inside the firing room where

5019
03:29:33,469 --> 03:29:30,600
Charlie Blackwell Thompson is about to

5020
03:29:35,389 --> 03:29:33,479
address her team after a whole lot of

5021
03:29:37,610 --> 03:29:35,399
hard work and preparation to get to this

03:31:26,160 --> 03:31:31,429
well for once I might be speechless

5036
03:31:36,110 --> 03:31:33,590
so you guys know I have talked a lot

5037
03:31:38,809 --> 03:31:36,120
about appreciating the moment that

5038
03:31:41,030 --> 03:31:38,819
you're in and we have worked hard as a

5039
03:31:51,349 --> 03:31:41,040
team you guys have worked hard as a team

5040
03:31:51,359 --> 03:31:55,309
foreign

5041
03:31:59,090 --> 03:31:58,130
it is not by chance that you are here

5042
03:32:01,309 --> 03:31:59,100
today

5043
03:32:02,809 --> 03:32:01,319
so I want you to look around look around

5044
03:32:05,750 --> 03:32:02,819
at this team

5045
03:32:07,330 --> 03:32:05,760
and know that you have earned it you

5046
03:32:10,490 --> 03:32:07,340
have earned your place in the room

5047
03:32:14,630 --> 03:32:10,500
you've earned this moment you have

5048
03:32:20,570 --> 03:32:17,809
you were part of a first doesn't come

5049
03:32:23,630 --> 03:32:20,580
along very often

5050
03:32:25,370 --> 03:32:23,640
once in a career Maybe

5051
03:32:28,849 --> 03:32:25,380
but we are all part of something

5052
03:32:37,849 --> 03:32:28,859
incredibly special the first launch of

5053
03:32:42,830 --> 03:32:40,429
the first step in returning our country

5054
03:32:49,690 --> 03:32:42,840
to the Moon

5055
03:32:55,969 --> 03:32:52,670
what you have done well what you have

5056
03:32:57,830 --> 03:32:55,979
done today will inspire generations to

5057
03:33:00,710 --> 03:32:57,840
come

5058
03:33:02,330 --> 03:33:00,720
so thank you thank you for your

5059
03:33:04,490 --> 03:33:02,340
resilience

5060
03:33:07,309 --> 03:33:04,500
you know I said at the pre-test briefing

5061
03:33:08,269 --> 03:33:07,319
the heart of the climb the better The

5062
03:33:10,550 --> 03:33:08,279
View

5063
03:33:13,070 --> 03:33:10,560
we showed the Space Coast tonight what a

5064
03:33:14,910 --> 03:33:13,080
beautiful view it is

5065
03:33:21,170 --> 03:33:14,920
so congratulations

5066
03:33:23,870 --> 03:33:21,180
[Applause]

5067
03:33:25,969 --> 03:33:23,880
so we got a couple of traditions here in

5068
03:33:28,790 --> 03:33:25,979
launch control

5069
03:33:31,010 --> 03:33:28,800
and the first one is

5070
03:33:32,450 --> 03:33:31,020
when you're in the position for the

5071
03:33:35,090 --> 03:33:32,460
first time

5072
03:33:38,750 --> 03:33:35,100
you get a tie cutting

5073
03:33:40,309 --> 03:33:38,760
and so I

5074
03:33:43,550 --> 03:33:40,319
I have my

5075
03:33:45,710 --> 03:33:43,560
launch director scissors

5076
03:33:48,410 --> 03:33:45,720
and I'm going to get my tie cut by a

5077
03:33:51,290 --> 03:33:48,420
couple of Legends that are here

5078
03:33:53,330 --> 03:33:51,300
and then anyone who wants their tie cut

5079
03:33:55,670 --> 03:33:53,340
will be making the rounds in the firing

5080
03:33:57,950 --> 03:33:55,680
room you got your console Chiefs if they

5081
03:33:59,750 --> 03:33:57,960
want to do it that's fine if you want me

5082
03:34:01,790 --> 03:33:59,760
to do it you might have to wait a little

5083
03:34:05,750 --> 03:34:01,800
while but I'll stay all night if I have

5084
03:34:08,090 --> 03:34:05,760
to it'll be my pleasure to cut ties

5085
03:34:09,969 --> 03:34:08,100
so I'm gonna get gonna take care of mine

5086
03:34:43,020 --> 03:34:09,979
and then I have one other presentation

5087
03:34:43,030 --> 03:34:49,250
[Applause]

5088
03:34:53,630 --> 03:34:51,349
eight

5089
03:34:55,429 --> 03:34:53,640
this is Charlie Blackwell Thompson

5090
03:34:59,030 --> 03:34:55,439
Artemis one launch director she just got

5091
03:35:00,469 --> 03:34:59,040
her tie cut that is a tradition here at

5092
03:35:03,229 --> 03:35:00,479
NASA

5093
03:35:04,610 --> 03:35:03,239
we just got to hear her talk to the team

5094
03:35:05,870 --> 03:35:04,620
and one thing that really stuck out to

5095
03:35:07,849 --> 03:35:05,880
me that she said is that they really

5096
03:35:09,650 --> 03:35:07,859
earned their place in history we're

5097
03:35:13,630 --> 03:35:09,660
coming up on solar array deploy let's go

5098
03:35:17,750 --> 03:35:15,950
thanks Megan and yes we're here in

5099
03:35:19,910 --> 03:35:17,760
Mission Control Houston still monitoring

5100
03:35:21,950 --> 03:35:19,920
the Artemis One mission and the first

5101
03:35:23,809 --> 03:35:21,960
flight of Orion atop the space launch

5102
03:35:27,469 --> 03:35:23,819
system so far we saw a successful

5103
03:35:29,269 --> 03:35:27,479
liftoff at 1 47 a.m eastern time all the

5104
03:35:31,550 --> 03:35:29,279
way through separation from the core

5105
03:35:33,910 --> 03:35:31,560
stage we now have Orion and the interim

5106
03:35:36,710 --> 03:35:33,920
cryogenic propulsion stage flying free

5107
03:35:39,290 --> 03:35:36,720
and we just heard that we have initiated

5108
03:35:41,990 --> 03:35:39,300
solar array deploy so we are turning our

5109
03:35:43,969 --> 03:35:42,000
Focus to that the spacecraft was running

5110
03:35:46,309 --> 03:35:43,979
on battery power but stretching These

5111
03:35:48,290 --> 03:35:46,319
Wings will allow it to stop relying on

5112
03:35:51,349 --> 03:35:48,300
those batteries and significantly extend

5113
03:35:53,690 --> 03:35:51,359
the time it can stay in space

5114
03:35:55,729 --> 03:35:53,700
so solar array deploy takes about 12

5115
03:35:57,830 --> 03:35:55,739
minutes we have four solar arrays that

5116
03:35:59,570 --> 03:35:57,840
we need to deploy and latch these will

5117
03:36:01,250 --> 03:35:59,580
provide power to the spacecraft on its

5118
03:36:03,590 --> 03:36:01,260
journey to distant retrograde orbit and

5119
03:36:05,690 --> 03:36:03,600
all the way back to earth once these are

5120
03:36:07,729 --> 03:36:05,700
properly configured again Orion will no

5121
03:36:08,870 --> 03:36:07,739
longer need to rely solely on battery

5122
03:36:11,150 --> 03:36:08,880
power

5123
03:36:13,670 --> 03:36:11,160
and we expect this to be done about 30

5124
03:36:16,969 --> 03:36:13,680
minutes after liftoff right now we're 19

5125
03:36:18,969 --> 03:36:16,979
minutes since liftoff today Orion is now

5126
03:36:24,229 --> 03:36:18,979
traveling 17

5127
03:36:27,710 --> 03:36:26,030
we're continuing to hear good calls here

5128
03:36:29,330 --> 03:36:27,720
in Mission Control Houston from the

5129
03:36:30,050 --> 03:36:29,340
flight controllers monitoring the

5130
03:36:32,030 --> 03:36:30,060
mission

5131
03:36:34,429 --> 03:36:32,040
a little bit about these solar arrays as

5132
03:36:36,530 --> 03:36:34,439
we wait again we heard the call that the

5133
03:36:39,290 --> 03:36:36,540
deploy has been initiated we'll hear a

5134
03:36:42,290 --> 03:36:39,300
little bit more about that once they

5135
03:36:44,330 --> 03:36:42,300
start to unfold these four solar arrays

5136
03:36:46,309 --> 03:36:44,340
generate 11 kilowatts of power which is

5137
03:36:48,349 --> 03:36:46,319
enough electricity to power two three

5138
03:36:51,469 --> 03:36:48,359
bedroom houses and they have a wingspan

5139
03:36:53,510 --> 03:36:51,479
of 63 feet just one of these six and a

5140
03:36:55,330 --> 03:36:53,520
half by six and a half foot panels has

5141
03:36:58,070 --> 03:36:55,340
uh

5142
03:36:59,510 --> 03:36:58,080
1250 solar cells so you're looking at a

5143
03:37:01,550 --> 03:36:59,520
total of 15

5144
03:37:03,830 --> 03:37:01,560
000 solar cells

5145
03:37:05,750 --> 03:37:03,840
now we just heard the call that all four

5146
03:37:07,729 --> 03:37:05,760
solar arrays have been released so we

5147
03:37:09,590 --> 03:37:07,739
initially heard the initiation call that

5148
03:37:11,570 --> 03:37:09,600
command had been sent now those four

5149
03:37:15,349 --> 03:37:11,580
solar arrays are released again this is

5150
03:37:19,010 --> 03:37:17,269
the solar arrays will deploy straight

5151
03:37:21,170 --> 03:37:19,020
and you're getting a live view right now

5152
03:37:22,969 --> 03:37:21,180
this is really exciting they'll

5153
03:37:25,490 --> 03:37:22,979
eventually be swept back against the

5154
03:37:28,010 --> 03:37:25,500
vehicle prior to translunar injection

5155
03:37:30,410 --> 03:37:28,020
burn to prevent any loads from breaking

5156
03:37:32,150 --> 03:37:30,420
or damaging the arrays and on the end of

5157
03:37:33,950 --> 03:37:32,160
each solar array is a camera that will

5158
03:37:35,870 --> 03:37:33,960
capture imagery for us throughout the

5159
03:37:37,670 --> 03:37:35,880
mission along with a few other cameras

5160
03:37:40,190 --> 03:37:37,680
placed outside and inside the spacecraft

5161
03:37:44,630 --> 03:37:40,200
to help us Monitor and perform various

5162
03:37:48,410 --> 03:37:46,729
of course if you recall the Apollo

5163
03:37:51,050 --> 03:37:48,420
capsule design there were no solar

5164
03:37:52,490 --> 03:37:51,060
arrays we had fuel cells instead so this

5165
03:37:54,410 --> 03:37:52,500
design with arrays gives us the

5166
03:37:56,870 --> 03:37:54,420
opportunity to stay in orbit longer

5167
03:37:58,670 --> 03:37:56,880
since we practically have no limit to

5168
03:38:03,110 --> 03:37:58,680
the energy available for use from the

5169
03:38:08,450 --> 03:38:06,710
coming up on 21 minutes since liftoff

5170
03:38:10,070 --> 03:38:08,460
Orion is attached to the interim

5171
03:38:12,950 --> 03:38:10,080
cryogenic propulsion stage you can see

5172
03:38:15,170 --> 03:38:12,960
those four solar arrays unfolding now

5173
03:38:17,030 --> 03:38:15,180
and again Artemis one is a flight test

5174
03:38:19,010 --> 03:38:17,040
it's Paving the way for a sustainable

5175
03:38:20,510 --> 03:38:19,020
Presence at the Moon looking forward to

5176
03:38:22,490 --> 03:38:20,520
the future Gateway will be our space

5177
03:38:24,229 --> 03:38:22,500
station and lunar orbit and we have some

5178
03:38:26,150 --> 03:38:24,239
similarities and differences in the

5179
03:38:28,370 --> 03:38:26,160
solar arrays unfolding right now on

5180
03:38:30,710 --> 03:38:28,380
Orion and those that will be on Gateway

5181
03:38:33,170 --> 03:38:30,720
so like we're seeing now these are

5182
03:38:35,929 --> 03:38:33,180
deploying autonomously the Gateway solar

5183
03:38:38,030 --> 03:38:35,939
arrays will as well

5184
03:38:40,250 --> 03:38:38,040
and while these generate those 11

5185
03:38:42,830 --> 03:38:40,260
kilowatts of power the two roll out

5186
03:38:46,070 --> 03:38:42,840
solar arrays or Rosas on Gateway will

5187
03:38:47,690 --> 03:38:46,080
generate 60 kilowatts of power that Rosa

5188
03:38:49,610 --> 03:38:47,700
design is currently being tested aboard

5189
03:38:51,469 --> 03:38:49,620
the space station we have two new ones

5190
03:39:02,630 --> 03:38:51,479
installed and a spacewalk conducted

5191
03:39:07,550 --> 03:39:05,450
coming up on 22 minutes since liftoff

5192
03:39:11,090 --> 03:39:07,560
today Orion and the interim cryogenic

5193
03:39:15,590 --> 03:39:11,100
propulsion stage traveling over 16 800

5194
03:39:19,969 --> 03:39:18,290
the solar arrays deploying now are part

5195
03:39:22,550 --> 03:39:19,979
of the European service module it's

5196
03:39:25,010 --> 03:39:22,560
comprised of 20 000 parts and components

5197
03:39:26,809 --> 03:39:25,020
the service module was developed as part

5198
03:39:30,950 --> 03:39:26,819
of an agreement between NASA and the

5199
03:39:35,269 --> 03:39:33,590
this is the first time NASA is using a

5200
03:41:01,729 --> 03:39:35,279
european-built system as a critical

5201
03:41:07,849 --> 03:41:05,330
coming up now in 24 minutes into the

5202
03:41:10,250 --> 03:41:07,859
flight of Artemis one spacecraft now

5203
03:41:13,309 --> 03:41:10,260
traveling at 16 500 miles per hour

5204
03:41:15,410 --> 03:41:13,319
around the earth we are in solar array

5205
03:41:33,830 --> 03:41:15,420
deploy and we have confirmation all four

5206
03:42:41,809 --> 03:41:35,570
coming up in a little less than 30

5207
03:42:48,050 --> 03:42:46,130
and with our launch at 141 eastern time

5208
03:42:50,870 --> 03:42:48,060
this morning we are looking for a

5209
03:42:55,070 --> 03:42:50,880
perigee raised maneuver about 53 minutes

5210
03:42:57,469 --> 03:42:55,080
into today's flight again we are now 25

5211
03:43:00,530 --> 03:42:57,479
minutes and 47 seconds into the flight

5212
03:43:03,110 --> 03:43:00,540
and we have a complete deployment of all

5213
03:43:05,510 --> 03:43:03,120
four solar arrays

5214
03:43:07,790 --> 03:43:05,520
Orion's Journey To The Moon continues as

5215
03:43:09,769 --> 03:43:07,800
planned again looking forward to that

5216
03:43:12,710 --> 03:43:09,779
perigee raised maneuver that'll be

5217
03:43:16,969 --> 03:43:12,720
coming up again at about 53 minutes into

5218
03:43:18,650 --> 03:43:16,979
the mission so about 27 minutes from now

5219
03:43:20,389 --> 03:43:18,660
during the peregrase maneuver the

5220
03:43:22,729 --> 03:43:20,399
interim cryogenic propulsion stage will

5221
03:43:25,070 --> 03:43:22,739
use its rl-10 engine to lift the lowest

5222
03:43:26,870 --> 03:43:25,080
point of Orion in Earth's orbit the

5223
03:43:28,550 --> 03:43:26,880
current orbit is more of an oval shape

5224
03:43:30,229 --> 03:43:28,560
than a perfect circle and this burn will

5225
03:43:32,750 --> 03:43:30,239
raise that point closest to Earth and

5226
03:43:34,429 --> 03:43:32,760
make the orbit more circular this will

5227
03:43:36,590 --> 03:43:34,439
also include a checkout of Orion's

5228
03:43:38,929 --> 03:43:36,600
systems and any adjustments to the solar

5229
03:43:40,910 --> 03:43:38,939
arrays it'll be a short burn less than

5230
03:43:43,550 --> 03:43:40,920
30 seconds long but critical to keep us

5231
03:43:45,650 --> 03:43:43,560
on track and it also prepares us for the

5232
03:43:47,210 --> 03:43:45,660
next engine burn to send Orion to the

5233
03:43:49,190 --> 03:43:47,220
Moon that's the translunar injection

5234
03:43:52,010 --> 03:43:49,200
burn that'll come up a little later

5235
03:43:53,990 --> 03:43:52,020
which is a longer burn another firing of

5236
03:44:10,130 --> 03:43:54,000
the rl-10 engine on the interim

5237
03:44:14,570 --> 03:44:12,349
we caught a glimpse there of those solar

5238
03:44:16,729 --> 03:44:14,580
arrays and with all four solar arrays

5239
03:44:18,590 --> 03:44:16,739
properly deployed Orion's Journey To The

5240
03:44:20,330 --> 03:44:18,600
Moon continues and we've got more

5241
03:44:22,309 --> 03:44:20,340
operational updates coming up shortly

5242
03:44:24,650 --> 03:44:22,319
but for now I'm going to toss it back to

5243
03:44:26,870 --> 03:44:24,660
Megan and Kayla at Kennedy

5244
03:44:28,370 --> 03:44:26,880
Leah thank you so much our return to the

5245
03:44:30,590 --> 03:44:28,380
moon will be different than the last

5246
03:44:32,929 --> 03:44:30,600
time we plan to explore more of the

5247
03:44:34,729 --> 03:44:32,939
lunar surface and learn how to live and

5248
03:44:36,650 --> 03:44:34,739
work there with more on our destination

5249
03:44:38,030 --> 03:44:36,660
let's bring back NASA's Dan Hewitt with

5250
03:44:41,210 --> 03:44:38,040
our new moon board

5251
03:44:43,490 --> 03:44:41,220
hey thanks Megan I I gotta be honest we

5252
03:44:46,250 --> 03:44:43,500
ran outside to catch it I'm still

5253
03:44:47,809 --> 03:44:46,260
shaking a little bit that that never

5254
03:44:49,490 --> 03:44:47,819
gets old that is always one of the

5255
03:44:53,269 --> 03:44:49,500
coolest things you'll ever see in your

5256
03:44:55,010 --> 03:44:53,279
entire life and that rocket was massive

5257
03:44:57,830 --> 03:44:55,020
and loud and just

5258
03:45:00,349 --> 03:44:57,840
the so cool all right

5259
03:45:02,690 --> 03:45:00,359
the moon this is why we call it the moon

5260
03:45:05,269 --> 03:45:02,700
board but the moon you know since the

5261
03:45:07,429 --> 03:45:05,279
dawn of time humans have looked at the

5262
03:45:09,590 --> 03:45:07,439
sky and shouted at our neighbor I'm

5263
03:45:12,710 --> 03:45:09,600
gonna walk in your face

5264
03:45:15,290 --> 03:45:12,720
and in the 60s we actually did it uh six

5265
03:45:18,950 --> 03:45:15,300
times starting with Neil Armstrong Buzz

5266
03:45:21,530 --> 03:45:18,960
Aldrin Apollo 11 1969 followed by five

5267
03:45:23,630 --> 03:45:21,540
more successive Landings each time

5268
03:45:26,330 --> 03:45:23,640
delivering two human beings to the

5269
03:45:30,530 --> 03:45:26,340
surface of the Moon our last one was

5270
03:45:32,630 --> 03:45:30,540
Apollo 17 and that was in 1972 Gene

5271
03:45:35,030 --> 03:45:32,640
cernan and Harrison Smith stepping off

5272
03:45:37,250 --> 03:45:35,040
for the last time now we have not sent

5273
03:45:39,349 --> 03:45:37,260
humans back since then but they

5274
03:45:41,450 --> 03:45:39,359
accomplished a lot under Apollo lots of

5275
03:45:42,769 --> 03:45:41,460
technological advancements deployed

5276
03:45:45,410 --> 03:45:42,779
science instruments brought back

5277
03:45:47,990 --> 03:45:45,420
hundreds of pounds of lunar rocks and

5278
03:45:49,849 --> 03:45:48,000
regula teaching us about the moon and

5279
03:45:52,309 --> 03:45:49,859
also about our place in the solar system

5280
03:45:54,050 --> 03:45:52,319
the Moon is fascinating because it

5281
03:45:56,330 --> 03:45:54,060
doesn't have a lot of the geological

5282
03:45:58,130 --> 03:45:56,340
processes we have here on Earth you

5283
03:46:00,410 --> 03:45:58,140
don't have erosion you don't have wind

5284
03:46:02,870 --> 03:46:00,420
and water wearing Down rocks you don't

5285
03:46:05,450 --> 03:46:02,880
have plate tectonics that are constantly

5286
03:46:07,729 --> 03:46:05,460
recycling the crust and so everything

5287
03:46:10,070 --> 03:46:07,739
out there is really old in fact one of

5288
03:46:12,290 --> 03:46:10,080
the Rocks brought back on Apollo 50 teen

5289
03:46:14,630 --> 03:46:12,300
called The Genesis Rock was dated to be

5290
03:46:17,150 --> 03:46:14,640
4 billion years old so from the

5291
03:46:19,729 --> 03:46:17,160
primordial beginnings of our solar

5292
03:46:22,190 --> 03:46:19,739
system but as Kayla said a little bit

5293
03:46:25,370 --> 03:46:22,200
earlier those missions were measured in

5294
03:46:27,650 --> 03:46:25,380
days their spacewalks in just hours with

5295
03:46:29,690 --> 03:46:27,660
Artemis were looking to go and we're

5296
03:46:32,870 --> 03:46:29,700
looking to stay and we're not looking

5297
03:46:35,690 --> 03:46:32,880
around the equator like our under Apollo

5298
03:46:38,750 --> 03:46:35,700
we're looking at the lunar South Pole

5299
03:46:40,610 --> 03:46:38,760
now why so we haven't sent people since

5300
03:46:43,790 --> 03:46:40,620
the 70s to the moon but we haven't

5301
03:46:45,650 --> 03:46:43,800
stopped studying it we've had orbiters

5302
03:46:47,450 --> 03:46:45,660
like the lunar reconnaissance Orbiter

5303
03:46:49,670 --> 03:46:47,460
which has literally just been flying

5304
03:46:52,429 --> 03:46:49,680
loops around the Moon taking high

5305
03:46:54,349 --> 03:46:52,439
resolution images of the surface so high

5306
03:46:55,849 --> 03:46:54,359
resolution that you can look them up

5307
03:46:57,410 --> 03:46:55,859
they have images of all the different

5308
03:46:59,870 --> 03:46:57,420
Apollo Landing sites and you can

5309
03:47:01,910 --> 03:46:59,880
actually see the footprints the paths

5310
03:47:04,550 --> 03:47:01,920
they left in the lunar regolith of those

5311
03:47:07,910 --> 03:47:04,560
sites we had a mission called L cross

5312
03:47:10,190 --> 03:47:07,920
which slammed a probe into a crater on

5313
03:47:11,630 --> 03:47:10,200
the moon sending out material some of

5314
03:47:14,150 --> 03:47:11,640
which potentially hadn't seen direct

5315
03:47:16,309 --> 03:47:14,160
sunlight for billions of years and then

5316
03:47:18,110 --> 03:47:16,319
analyzing what shot out and through

5317
03:47:20,469 --> 03:47:18,120
missions like that and others we've been

5318
03:47:23,150 --> 03:47:20,479
able to find that there is water ice

5319
03:47:25,490 --> 03:47:23,160
trapped in those permanently shadowed

5320
03:47:27,830 --> 03:47:25,500
areas on the moon a lot of them center

5321
03:47:32,150 --> 03:47:27,840
around that South Pole we have already

5322
03:47:35,210 --> 03:47:32,160
identified 13 potential Landing sites

5323
03:47:37,610 --> 03:47:35,220
for the Artemis 3 mission and these are

5324
03:47:40,130 --> 03:47:37,620
where we're going to send our astronauts

5325
03:47:43,309 --> 03:47:40,140
around the lunar South Pole to access

5326
03:47:45,710 --> 03:47:43,319
that water ice now why water why are we

5327
03:47:47,809 --> 03:47:45,720
caring about water well it serves a lot

5328
03:47:49,729 --> 03:47:47,819
of purposes obviously for humans you

5329
03:47:52,309 --> 03:47:49,739
need that to breathe you can split water

5330
03:47:53,990 --> 03:47:52,319
apart get oxygen for breathing gas for

5331
03:47:56,090 --> 03:47:54,000
an atmosphere if you have a lunar base

5332
03:47:58,070 --> 03:47:56,100
you can split it into oxygen and

5333
03:48:00,170 --> 03:47:58,080
hydrogen that's Rocket Fuel we just

5334
03:48:02,870 --> 03:48:00,180
launched the most powerful rocket in

5335
03:48:05,389 --> 03:48:02,880
history using those constituent parts

5336
03:48:07,670 --> 03:48:05,399
and so you can start to live off the

5337
03:48:10,550 --> 03:48:07,680
land we can use that something called

5338
03:48:13,070 --> 03:48:10,560
in-situ resource utilization and and

5339
03:48:15,410 --> 03:48:13,080
really the whole point of that is to use

5340
03:48:17,389 --> 03:48:15,420
the moon as this Proving Ground we're

5341
03:48:19,190 --> 03:48:17,399
trying to get to Mars we're trying to

5342
03:48:21,170 --> 03:48:19,200
learn to live on other planets where

5343
03:48:23,690 --> 03:48:21,180
there is gravity where we're going to

5344
03:48:25,250 --> 03:48:23,700
have to use resources there on the

5345
03:48:27,410 --> 03:48:25,260
ground because we won't be able to bring

5346
03:48:29,389 --> 03:48:27,420
everything with us and by going to the

5347
03:48:30,950 --> 03:48:29,399
lunar South Pole by going to stay under

5348
03:48:32,750 --> 03:48:30,960
Artemis we're going to be able to start

5349
03:48:35,030 --> 03:48:32,760
practicing that we're going to perfect

5350
03:48:37,429 --> 03:48:35,040
those systems perfect those techniques

5351
03:48:39,110 --> 03:48:37,439
and operations we need to do that so we

5352
03:48:42,229 --> 03:48:39,120
can use the moon as that jumping off

5353
03:48:45,410 --> 03:48:42,239
point to Mars and Beyond so

5354
03:48:47,210 --> 03:48:45,420
that's why the moon we're going to see

5355
03:48:49,490 --> 03:48:47,220
Orion fly around it for the very first

5356
03:48:51,889 --> 03:48:49,500
time in just a couple of days that

5357
03:48:54,469 --> 03:48:51,899
launched is spectacular I'm still way

5358
03:48:55,910 --> 03:48:54,479
too excited uh but can't wait to see

5359
03:48:57,590 --> 03:48:55,920
some shots of the Moon from up close

5360
03:48:59,929 --> 03:48:57,600
from Orion so I'll send it back over to

5361
03:49:02,030 --> 03:48:59,939
you Megan

5362
03:49:04,250 --> 03:49:02,040
thanks so much Stan so right now we're

5363
03:49:06,290 --> 03:49:04,260
actually joined by members of the red

5364
03:49:07,969 --> 03:49:06,300
crew you'll remember from watching the

5365
03:49:09,530 --> 03:49:07,979
launch coverage that the red crew was

5366
03:49:12,650 --> 03:49:09,540
sent out by the launch Team when the

5367
03:49:14,510 --> 03:49:12,660
launch Team identified a small leak on a

5368
03:49:17,630 --> 03:49:14,520
hydrogen valve inside of the mobile

5369
03:49:19,309 --> 03:49:17,640
launcher well now here they are this is

5370
03:49:20,809 --> 03:49:19,319
Trent and it's Trent can you just uh

5371
03:49:23,030 --> 03:49:20,819
introduce everybody else here on your

5372
03:49:26,030 --> 03:49:23,040
team yeah so this is Chad he's our

5373
03:49:28,250 --> 03:49:26,040
safety guy and behind me is Billy and

5374
03:49:30,830 --> 03:49:28,260
he's the experienced hydrogen Tech out

5375
03:49:33,469 --> 03:49:30,840
here and the three of you guys really I

5376
03:49:34,969 --> 03:49:33,479
I would say save the day today I mean

5377
03:49:36,950 --> 03:49:34,979
really you guys had to go in there to

5378
03:49:38,990 --> 03:49:36,960
What's called the blast danger zone you

5379
03:49:42,469 --> 03:49:39,000
guys are specially trained uh to be able

5380
03:49:45,469 --> 03:49:42,479
to do operations on the pad while cryo

5381
03:49:47,450 --> 03:49:45,479
is loading talk to us about getting that

5382
03:49:48,769 --> 03:49:47,460
call being told hey you guys need to go

5383
03:49:50,389 --> 03:49:48,779
in there and it was the first time for

5384
03:49:52,070 --> 03:49:50,399
all three of you

5385
03:49:53,269 --> 03:49:52,080
yeah all I could say is we were very

5386
03:49:55,250 --> 03:49:53,279
excited

5387
03:49:58,309 --> 03:49:55,260
I was ready to get up there and go

5388
03:50:00,590 --> 03:49:58,319
really how are you guys feeling

5389
03:50:02,630 --> 03:50:00,600
very very comfortable very confident in

5390
03:50:04,849 --> 03:50:02,640
the test team and the procedures and our

5391
03:50:07,130 --> 03:50:04,859
training we we did a great job

5392
03:50:08,450 --> 03:50:07,140
walk us oh sorry go ahead how gratifying

5393
03:50:10,010 --> 03:50:08,460
it must be for you guys because you you

5394
03:50:11,929 --> 03:50:10,020
train for this eventuality but don't

5395
03:50:13,910 --> 03:50:11,939
always get to do it Billy was saying

5396
03:50:16,130 --> 03:50:13,920
that he's been a red crew team member

5397
03:50:17,450 --> 03:50:16,140
for 37 years and this is the first time

5398
03:50:19,429 --> 03:50:17,460
he's been called to go into the blast

5399
03:50:21,769 --> 03:50:19,439
danger zone so I know for us when we're

5400
03:50:23,510 --> 03:50:21,779
training for all of these eventualities

5401
03:50:24,710 --> 03:50:23,520
whether it's a spacewalk or robotics

5402
03:50:26,330 --> 03:50:24,720
operations you really want to put that

5403
03:50:28,790 --> 03:50:26,340
training into practice how do you guys

5404
03:50:30,110 --> 03:50:28,800
feel like it went today sure amazing I

5405
03:50:33,590 --> 03:50:30,120
still can't believe it

5406
03:50:35,030 --> 03:50:33,600
it's surreal to me it's just insane yeah

5407
03:50:37,190 --> 03:50:35,040
kind of walk us through what you were

5408
03:50:38,809 --> 03:50:37,200
thinking so you get there and and what

5409
03:50:41,389 --> 03:50:38,819
is it just like game time and you're

5410
03:50:42,590 --> 03:50:41,399
really focused or you know how are you

5411
03:50:44,990 --> 03:50:42,600
feeling

5412
03:50:47,150 --> 03:50:45,000
yeah I'd say we were we were very

5413
03:50:49,429 --> 03:50:47,160
focused on what was happening up there

5414
03:50:51,349 --> 03:50:49,439
just making sure

5415
03:50:53,330 --> 03:50:51,359
we knew what was happening

5416
03:50:56,030 --> 03:50:53,340
because the Rockets you know it's alive

5417
03:50:59,269 --> 03:50:56,040
it's creaking it's making venting noises

5418
03:51:01,610 --> 03:50:59,279
it's it's pretty scary so on zero deck

5419
03:51:03,590 --> 03:51:01,620
my heart was pumping my nerves were

5420
03:51:06,530 --> 03:51:03,600
going but

5421
03:51:07,790 --> 03:51:06,540
yeah we showed up today I think as soon

5422
03:51:09,950 --> 03:51:07,800
as we walked up the stairs we were ready

5423
03:51:11,150 --> 03:51:09,960
to rock and roll and they were telling

5424
03:51:12,469 --> 03:51:11,160
us a bit about it while you're working

5425
03:51:15,469 --> 03:51:12,479
on it you guys were actually just

5426
03:51:17,389 --> 03:51:15,479
torquing down at the valve to prevent or

5427
03:51:19,370 --> 03:51:17,399
reduce the leak rate or stop the leak is

5428
03:51:22,010 --> 03:51:19,380
that right that's right just the packing

5429
03:51:23,330 --> 03:51:22,020
gland is a little loose so went up there

5430
03:51:26,269 --> 03:51:23,340
and tightened her up

5431
03:51:28,790 --> 03:51:26,279
you're probably still like in this oh my

5432
03:51:31,070 --> 03:51:28,800
gosh moment like all of us are you know

5433
03:51:33,229 --> 03:51:31,080
has it actually hit you like the role

5434
03:51:34,790 --> 03:51:33,239
you played today in making Artemis one

5435
03:51:37,610 --> 03:51:34,800
launch

5436
03:51:40,309 --> 03:51:37,620
you know I still can't believe it like

5437
03:51:42,229 --> 03:51:40,319
it's like I said it's surreal and just

5438
03:51:44,650 --> 03:51:42,239
amazing

5439
03:51:47,510 --> 03:51:44,660
I don't know about you guys but

5440
03:51:49,610 --> 03:51:47,520
they're nodding along behind you for

5441
03:51:51,469 --> 03:51:49,620
sure anything you want to say to the

5442
03:51:54,469 --> 03:51:51,479
launch team again this is a big day for

5443
03:51:56,269 --> 03:51:54,479
the launch Team for you guys NASA but

5444
03:51:57,769 --> 03:51:56,279
really the whole world I mean this is a

5445
03:51:59,630 --> 03:51:57,779
historic launch that I think we'll all

5446
03:52:02,210 --> 03:51:59,640
remember uh

5447
03:52:04,429 --> 03:52:02,220
we'll all remember really

5448
03:52:06,769 --> 03:52:04,439
you know we had a lot of people here

5449
03:52:10,670 --> 03:52:06,779
helping us out a lot of teams firing

5450
03:52:12,469 --> 03:52:10,680
room I'm sure that was hectic and uh you

5451
03:52:14,269 --> 03:52:12,479
know NASA Boeing

5452
03:52:22,010 --> 03:52:14,279
all the other companies did a great job

5453
03:52:25,790 --> 03:52:23,990
right like none of us could accomplish

5454
03:52:28,670 --> 03:52:25,800
this on our own it takes a really

5455
03:52:30,050 --> 03:52:28,680
complex team nobody can be an expert in

5456
03:52:31,849 --> 03:52:30,060
all of the systems all the technology

5457
03:52:34,010 --> 03:52:31,859
all the workarounds we might have to do

5458
03:52:35,210 --> 03:52:34,020
to get a rocket off the pad so thank you

5459
03:52:37,130 --> 03:52:35,220
for the role you played in that team

5460
03:52:39,050 --> 03:52:37,140
today it's awesome thank you pleasure

5461
03:52:41,210 --> 03:52:39,060
yeah thank you so much guys I appreciate

5462
03:52:42,889 --> 03:52:41,220
you coming by to talk with us all right

5463
03:52:45,710 --> 03:52:42,899
it's now been about 35 minutes since

5464
03:52:47,510 --> 03:52:45,720
liftoff of Artemis one Orion and icps

5465
03:52:49,070 --> 03:52:47,520
are now free-flying so let's head back

5466
03:52:53,269 --> 03:52:49,080
to Leah again to talk about how the

5467
03:52:57,769 --> 03:52:55,010
thanks Megan and it has been a pretty

5468
03:52:59,870 --> 03:52:57,779
smooth ride so far and uh we are now

5469
03:53:02,389 --> 03:52:59,880
again like you mentioned coming up on 36

5470
03:53:04,849 --> 03:53:02,399
minutes since launch that puts us about

5471
03:53:06,830 --> 03:53:04,859
17 minutes into the perigee until the

5472
03:53:08,690 --> 03:53:06,840
perigee Rays maneuver that's going to be

5473
03:53:10,910 --> 03:53:08,700
the maneuver that lifts the lowest point

5474
03:53:13,010 --> 03:53:10,920
of Orion's orbit around the Earth and

5475
03:53:15,530 --> 03:53:13,020
puts us where we need to be ahead of the

5476
03:53:17,389 --> 03:53:15,540
translunar injection burn the translunar

5477
03:53:18,950 --> 03:53:17,399
injection burn is that really long burn

5478
03:53:21,650 --> 03:53:18,960
that we're going to need to send us on

5479
03:53:23,450 --> 03:53:21,660
to the moon so we've been treated to

5480
03:53:26,570 --> 03:53:23,460
some exciting views from the spacecraft

5481
03:53:29,389 --> 03:53:26,580
today including and we hope to see some

5482
03:53:30,950 --> 03:53:29,399
from inside the cabin but we expect to

5483
03:53:33,290 --> 03:53:30,960
continue receiving photo updates

5484
03:53:35,389 --> 03:53:33,300
throughout the mission it takes a team

5485
03:53:40,370 --> 03:53:35,399
though to bring the imagery of Orion

5486
03:53:44,510 --> 03:53:42,110
the imagery they were collecting on

5487
03:53:47,389 --> 03:53:44,520
Artemis 1 and the mission itself

5488
03:53:49,490 --> 03:53:47,399
is preparing to carry humans to the moon

5489
03:53:51,950 --> 03:53:49,500
the Orion imager team is going to be

5490
03:53:53,570 --> 03:53:51,960
monitoring every aspect of visual

5491
03:53:54,889 --> 03:53:53,580
spacecraft performance for the entire

5492
03:53:56,150 --> 03:53:54,899
duration of the mission

5493
03:53:58,070 --> 03:53:56,160
the first time that we're going to be

5494
03:53:59,929 --> 03:53:58,080
live streaming digital video from its

5495
03:54:01,130 --> 03:53:59,939
spacecraft back down to the Earth from

5496
03:54:03,170 --> 03:54:01,140
the vicinity of the Moon that's never

5497
03:54:05,090 --> 03:54:03,180
been done before what will be

5498
03:54:06,769 --> 03:54:05,100
transmitting live streaming will be

5499
03:54:08,870 --> 03:54:06,779
lower resolution

5500
03:54:12,110 --> 03:54:08,880
more compressed because we have to fit

5501
03:54:13,910 --> 03:54:12,120
it into a thinner pipe if you will

5502
03:54:15,290 --> 03:54:13,920
every one of these cameras is in this

5503
03:54:17,870 --> 03:54:15,300
position where it is and it's configured

5504
03:54:19,370 --> 03:54:17,880
the way it is for a very specific reason

5505
03:54:21,530 --> 03:54:19,380
we're going to be monitoring anything

5506
03:54:23,570 --> 03:54:21,540
that we can see with the cameras for

5507
03:54:25,490 --> 03:54:23,580
spacecraft performance

5508
03:54:28,729 --> 03:54:25,500
the imagery teams at Nasa are composed

5509
03:54:30,349 --> 03:54:28,739
of dozens and dozens of very highly

5510
03:54:33,830 --> 03:54:30,359
trained very specialized people

5511
03:54:35,269 --> 03:54:33,840
Engineers technicians analysts if we can

5512
03:54:37,550 --> 03:54:35,279
see it we're going to try and keep an

5513
03:54:39,769 --> 03:54:37,560
eye on it imagery has been invaluable

5514
03:54:42,349 --> 03:54:39,779
throughout the history of NASA we flew

5515
03:54:43,370 --> 03:54:42,359
cameras on Mercury Gemini Apollo all of

5516
03:54:45,410 --> 03:54:43,380
that stuff that we saw with the

5517
03:54:48,349 --> 03:54:45,420
astronauts around the Moon it helps us

5518
03:54:50,990 --> 03:54:48,359
detect the unknown unknowns

5519
03:54:53,090 --> 03:54:51,000
allows us to see things that we didn't

5520
03:54:55,429 --> 03:54:53,100
anticipate happening before so when we

5521
03:54:56,990 --> 03:54:55,439
do fly people on Artemis 2 we can have a

5522
03:54:58,440 --> 03:54:57,000
high confidence that everything's

5523
03:55:06,769 --> 03:54:58,450
working the way it should be

5524
03:55:10,729 --> 03:55:09,110
I love getting a look at those teams

5525
03:55:13,189 --> 03:55:10,739
that we don't normally see like the red

5526
03:55:15,110 --> 03:55:13,199
team that Megan and Kayla just got to

5527
03:55:17,090 --> 03:55:15,120
interview a really big thanks to them

5528
03:55:19,429 --> 03:55:17,100
and everyone that made this liftoff

5529
03:55:21,590 --> 03:55:19,439
happen tonight so we are going to toss

5530
03:55:23,510 --> 03:55:21,600
it back to Megan and Kayla now at KSC

5531
03:55:25,849 --> 03:55:23,520
again we're about 15 minutes away from

5532
03:55:27,950 --> 03:55:25,859
perigee race maneuver

5533
03:55:30,290 --> 03:55:27,960
thank you Leah yeah we wanted to take us

5534
03:55:31,849 --> 03:55:30,300
back into Orion and talk about some of

5535
03:55:34,670 --> 03:55:31,859
the science that's being enabled by

5536
03:55:37,429 --> 03:55:34,680
Artemis one today so inside of Orion are

5537
03:55:39,229 --> 03:55:37,439
10 of these so they're called cubesats

5538
03:55:40,550 --> 03:55:39,239
because they're tiny satellites

5539
03:55:42,469 --> 03:55:40,560
essentially they're the size of the

5540
03:55:43,849 --> 03:55:42,479
shoebox when they're folded down but

5541
03:55:45,469 --> 03:55:43,859
then once they're deployed they're

5542
03:55:46,670 --> 03:55:45,479
opened up they have solar arrays things

5543
03:55:49,250 --> 03:55:46,680
like that that's when it gets a lot

5544
03:55:51,170 --> 03:55:49,260
bigger now these are called secondary

5545
03:55:53,269 --> 03:55:51,180
payloads for this Mission Kayla can you

5546
03:55:55,189 --> 03:55:53,279
talk to us about what secondary payloads

5547
03:55:56,990 --> 03:55:55,199
are yeah it just really means that it's

5548
03:55:58,910 --> 03:55:57,000
not a primary objective of the mission

5549
03:56:01,010 --> 03:55:58,920
it's not we're not relying on the

5550
03:56:02,870 --> 03:56:01,020
success of these cubesats or overall

5551
03:56:05,450 --> 03:56:02,880
mission success it's kind of a bonus

5552
03:56:06,830 --> 03:56:05,460
payload right a chance to deploy these

5553
03:56:08,750 --> 03:56:06,840
satellites that have different sensors

5554
03:56:10,429 --> 03:56:08,760
on them and collect some awesome data to

5555
03:56:12,170 --> 03:56:10,439
support other research objectives yeah

5556
03:56:14,090 --> 03:56:12,180
and I know battery life was a concern

5557
03:56:15,710 --> 03:56:14,100
for some of them but all 10 were

5558
03:56:17,689 --> 03:56:15,720
deployed and scientists I'm sure are

5559
03:56:19,429 --> 03:56:17,699
eager to see what kind of information

5560
03:56:21,229 --> 03:56:19,439
that hopefully they'll be able to get

5561
03:56:22,849 --> 03:56:21,239
and they're just some of several

5562
03:56:24,889 --> 03:56:22,859
research projects on this flight that

5563
03:56:27,189 --> 03:56:24,899
will help gather data about the moon and

5564
03:56:33,170 --> 03:56:30,590
Artemis one is Paving the way for us to

5565
03:56:36,110 --> 03:56:33,180
explore deeper and deeper into space I

5566
03:56:39,290 --> 03:56:36,120
think Artemis 1 is significant on so

5567
03:56:41,510 --> 03:56:39,300
many levels it is a new frontier to do

5568
03:56:43,610 --> 03:56:41,520
science so the primary objective is to

5569
03:56:45,650 --> 03:56:43,620
test the Orion spacecraft integrated

5570
03:56:49,130 --> 03:56:45,660
with the space launch system and it is

5571
03:56:50,809 --> 03:56:49,140
designed to to carry out the the boldest

5572
03:56:52,429 --> 03:56:50,819
of the Bold missions but it's more than

5573
03:56:54,830 --> 03:56:52,439
just learning how to travel in space

5574
03:56:56,570 --> 03:56:54,840
we're taking a lot of cool science along

5575
03:56:59,389 --> 03:56:56,580
with us on this first mission to the

5576
03:57:01,429 --> 03:56:59,399
moon so as NASA plans to go back to the

5577
03:57:03,530 --> 03:57:01,439
surface of the Moon and then on to Mars

5578
03:57:05,689 --> 03:57:03,540
we want to spend more time there and

5579
03:57:07,610 --> 03:57:05,699
that's riskier business so the more we

5580
03:57:09,710 --> 03:57:07,620
learn about the moon itself and the

5581
03:57:11,750 --> 03:57:09,720
environment where we'll be operating the

5582
03:57:14,150 --> 03:57:11,760
better we can prepare we have 10

5583
03:57:16,429 --> 03:57:14,160
cubesats we call secondary payloads

5584
03:57:18,229 --> 03:57:16,439
which are small scientific spacecraft of

5585
03:57:20,269 --> 03:57:18,239
their own that will each be conducting

5586
03:57:22,610 --> 03:57:20,279
their own scientific Mission all of

5587
03:57:25,490 --> 03:57:22,620
these payloads in some form or fashion

5588
03:57:27,290 --> 03:57:25,500
will help us going forward they are

5589
03:57:28,670 --> 03:57:27,300
going to be studying the Moon soon and

5590
03:57:30,769 --> 03:57:28,680
they're going to help us understand what

5591
03:57:33,050 --> 03:57:30,779
is the moon made out of what types of

5592
03:57:35,269 --> 03:57:33,060
rocks what types of regolith what types

5593
03:57:37,010 --> 03:57:35,279
of ice what's mixed in with water that

5594
03:57:39,290 --> 03:57:37,020
might be present one of them actually is

5595
03:57:40,790 --> 03:57:39,300
going to attempt to land on the moon

5596
03:57:42,950 --> 03:57:40,800
they're going to be studying the sun

5597
03:57:45,170 --> 03:57:42,960
understanding and studying the space

5598
03:57:48,170 --> 03:57:45,180
environment or the space weather some

5599
03:57:50,809 --> 03:57:48,180
different propulsion systems these novel

5600
03:57:52,670 --> 03:57:50,819
ideas will ultimately turn into the

5601
03:57:55,010 --> 03:57:52,680
technology and the systems that we want

5602
03:57:56,630 --> 03:57:55,020
to use going forward there's a lot of

5603
03:57:58,189 --> 03:57:56,640
cool things going on between all these

5604
03:58:00,889 --> 03:57:58,199
cubesats that make up our secondary

5605
03:58:02,929 --> 03:58:00,899
payloads additionally inside the Orion

5606
03:58:07,189 --> 03:58:02,939
will be flying an experiment to study

5607
03:58:10,790 --> 03:58:07,199
space biology space biology is where we

5608
03:58:13,429 --> 03:58:10,800
study the underlying changes that

5609
03:58:15,769 --> 03:58:13,439
earth-based biological systems undergo

5610
03:58:17,330 --> 03:58:15,779
when they're in space or basically how

5611
03:58:19,610 --> 03:58:17,340
does life respond to the space

5612
03:58:21,530 --> 03:58:19,620
environment the level of ionizing

5613
03:58:24,110 --> 03:58:21,540
radiation that you experience when you

5614
03:58:26,630 --> 03:58:24,120
go beyond the Van Allen belt so you go

5615
03:58:29,269 --> 03:58:26,640
beyond the protective magnetic sphere

5616
03:58:31,790 --> 03:58:29,279
that we have around us you then get

5617
03:58:34,550 --> 03:58:31,800
exposed to higher levels of ionizing

5618
03:58:36,650 --> 03:58:34,560
radiation so we are flying several space

5619
03:58:39,650 --> 03:58:36,660
biology experiments it will take a

5620
03:58:42,830 --> 03:58:39,660
series of materials plant seeds fungi

5621
03:58:44,990 --> 03:58:42,840
the yeast cell algae and right along the

5622
03:58:47,510 --> 03:58:45,000
trip and then when it comes home we can

5623
03:58:50,090 --> 03:58:47,520
analyze how they responded to that

5624
03:58:52,729 --> 03:58:50,100
environment This research will help us

5625
03:58:55,189 --> 03:58:52,739
thrive in space it will help us to go

5626
03:58:57,590 --> 03:58:55,199
further and stay there longer in

5627
03:58:59,630 --> 03:58:57,600
addition to space biology we'll be

5628
03:59:01,370 --> 03:58:59,640
learning about how to make astronauts

5629
03:59:02,990 --> 03:59:01,380
more effective in the Orion in the

5630
03:59:04,670 --> 03:59:03,000
future an example of that is something

5631
03:59:06,830 --> 03:59:04,680
called the Callisto technology

5632
03:59:09,170 --> 03:59:06,840
demonstration Lockheed Martin built the

5633
03:59:11,090 --> 03:59:09,180
Orion spacecraft for NASA and we'll be

5634
03:59:13,309 --> 03:59:11,100
flying a secondary payload that's a

5635
03:59:15,889 --> 03:59:13,319
demonstration payload called Callisto so

5636
03:59:17,990 --> 03:59:15,899
we took the technology from Amazon for

5637
03:59:20,330 --> 03:59:18,000
Alexa and the WebEx technology from

5638
03:59:22,010 --> 03:59:20,340
Cisco and so we built a digital

5639
03:59:25,910 --> 03:59:22,020
assistant if you will it's a custom

5640
03:59:27,849 --> 03:59:25,920
space qualified Alexa Alexa how does the

5641
03:59:30,170 --> 03:59:27,859
life support system work

5642
03:59:32,030 --> 03:59:30,180
Orion's life support system is the

5643
03:59:34,309 --> 03:59:32,040
environmental control and life support

5644
03:59:36,050 --> 03:59:34,319
system oracles and so this payload is

5645
03:59:38,269 --> 03:59:36,060
the demonstration mission to show how

5646
03:59:40,790 --> 03:59:38,279
astronauts in the future could use this

5647
03:59:42,769 --> 03:59:40,800
technology as an Innovative user

5648
03:59:45,410 --> 03:59:42,779
interface so there you have it I hope

5649
03:59:48,170 --> 03:59:45,420
you agree with me this is exciting I'm

5650
03:59:50,330 --> 03:59:48,180
just over the moon excited for the

5651
03:59:53,330 --> 03:59:50,340
Artemis one launch science will conduct

5652
03:59:55,309 --> 03:59:53,340
on Artemis 1 lays the groundwork to

5653
03:59:57,110 --> 03:59:55,319
ensure that we can safely conduct

5654
03:59:59,570 --> 03:59:57,120
scientific activities at the Moon with

5655
04:00:02,210 --> 03:59:59,580
our astronauts going forward this really

5656
04:00:03,650 --> 04:00:02,220
is the stepping stone for us as we take

5657
04:00:07,010 --> 04:00:03,660
that next giant leap in space

5658
04:00:11,510 --> 04:00:09,530
so a lot of great science also happening

5659
04:00:13,550 --> 04:00:11,520
on the International Space Station I got

5660
04:00:15,290 --> 04:00:13,560
to speak with astronauts Jessica Watkins

5661
04:00:17,090 --> 04:00:15,300
and Samantha Christopher Eddie while

5662
04:00:18,769 --> 04:00:17,100
they were still on board about the

5663
04:00:21,769 --> 04:00:18,779
research there that will benefit future

5664
04:00:23,929 --> 04:00:21,779
Artemis missions

5665
04:00:25,729 --> 04:00:23,939
Jessica Samantha your primary job on the

5666
04:00:27,830 --> 04:00:25,739
space station is to maintain the

5667
04:00:30,830 --> 04:00:27,840
orbiting lab and conduct science

5668
04:00:32,990 --> 04:00:30,840
experiments more than 200 before crew 4

5669
04:00:34,910 --> 04:00:33,000
returns home Jessica can you tell me

5670
04:00:37,070 --> 04:00:34,920
about one of the experiments that will

5671
04:00:39,590 --> 04:00:37,080
help return us to the Moon with the

5672
04:00:41,929 --> 04:00:39,600
Artemis program we do a lot of

5673
04:00:44,210 --> 04:00:41,939
experiments where we are looking into

5674
04:00:47,150 --> 04:00:44,220
developing new technologies that will

5675
04:00:50,030 --> 04:00:47,160
enable us to go further into the solar

5676
04:00:52,389 --> 04:00:50,040
system and one of those Technologies was

5677
04:00:55,010 --> 04:00:52,399
the Astro rad

5678
04:00:56,630 --> 04:00:55,020
experimental radiation is is one of the

5679
04:00:58,370 --> 04:00:56,640
challenges that we face when we think

5680
04:01:01,990 --> 04:00:58,380
about going further into the solar

5681
04:01:03,769 --> 04:01:02,000
system and so this vest is an option for

5682
04:01:05,809 --> 04:01:03,779
providing the crew member with

5683
04:01:08,090 --> 04:01:05,819
protection and then one of the

5684
04:01:10,070 --> 04:01:08,100
mannequins on Artemis one launching here

5685
04:01:12,650 --> 04:01:10,080
later this month will also be wearing

5686
04:01:14,870 --> 04:01:12,660
the vest we'll get a sense for its

5687
04:01:16,189 --> 04:01:14,880
Effectiveness on board as well Samantha

5688
04:01:19,010 --> 04:01:16,199
I know that you've been doing a lot of

5689
04:01:21,110 --> 04:01:19,020
work to test how we would grow crops in

5690
04:01:22,670 --> 04:01:21,120
space what crops are you growing on

5691
04:01:24,250 --> 04:01:22,680
space station right right now and what's

5692
04:01:27,650 --> 04:01:24,260
unique about them

5693
04:01:29,330 --> 04:01:27,660
indeed actually right next to uh to us

5694
04:01:31,189 --> 04:01:29,340
as we are talking to you we have a

5695
04:01:34,070 --> 04:01:31,199
little uh space station vegetable garden

5696
04:01:36,710 --> 04:01:34,080
it's called X root and in a few weeks it

5697
04:01:38,990 --> 04:01:36,720
will be full of fully grown hopefully

5698
04:01:40,309 --> 04:01:39,000
tomatoes and carrot plants I don't have

5699
04:01:42,229 --> 04:01:40,319
much of a green thumb but it must

5700
04:01:44,150 --> 04:01:42,239
confess but when I harvested those

5701
04:01:46,250 --> 04:01:44,160
plants and I could really like Breathe

5702
04:01:48,650 --> 04:01:46,260
In All That Smell even if there is no

5703
04:01:51,530 --> 04:01:48,660
soil it still has that smell that you

5704
04:01:53,330 --> 04:01:51,540
would associate on the ground with uh

5705
04:01:55,790 --> 04:01:53,340
walking you know through a vegetable

5706
04:01:57,830 --> 04:01:55,800
garden after a rainy day you know when

5707
04:01:59,929 --> 04:01:57,840
there is that moist the moisture in in

5708
04:02:02,689 --> 04:01:59,939
the air and and that was just so so

5709
04:02:04,729 --> 04:02:02,699
pleasant after you know such a long time

5710
04:02:06,769 --> 04:02:04,739
living away from any kind of natural

5711
04:02:08,630 --> 04:02:06,779
environment it was very very pleasant

5712
04:02:11,809 --> 04:02:08,640
for me if it makes you feel any better I

5713
04:02:13,610 --> 04:02:11,819
also do not have a green thumb

5714
04:02:15,650 --> 04:02:13,620
um so what about water how are you

5715
04:02:18,530 --> 04:02:15,660
testing critical life support systems

5716
04:02:19,990 --> 04:02:18,540
like water to hopefully help us stay off

5717
04:02:24,530 --> 04:02:20,000
Earth longer than we ever have before

5718
04:02:27,469 --> 04:02:24,540
sure yes so um we we kind of use the um

5719
04:02:30,110 --> 04:02:27,479
the tagline that um today's yesterday's

5720
04:02:32,929 --> 04:02:30,120
coffee becomes today's copy

5721
04:02:36,769 --> 04:02:32,939
um so there's a process by which we can

5722
04:02:38,210 --> 04:02:36,779
filter our our urine and so we are at

5723
04:02:42,889 --> 04:02:38,220
the point now where we are able to

5724
04:02:46,429 --> 04:02:42,899
recycle about 96 of the

5725
04:02:48,469 --> 04:02:46,439
um essentially of our our water on board

5726
04:02:51,110 --> 04:02:48,479
and are continuing to test new

5727
04:02:54,110 --> 04:02:51,120
technologies to get even closer to the

5728
04:02:56,929 --> 04:02:54,120
98 utilization rate that we'll need for

5729
04:02:58,729 --> 04:02:56,939
for the moon in particular Samantha what

5730
04:03:01,429 --> 04:02:58,739
are you most excited about for Artemis

5731
04:03:04,550 --> 04:03:01,439
one seeing that gigantic rocket take off

5732
04:03:07,790 --> 04:03:04,560
and uh I think it would be just uh you

5733
04:03:09,950 --> 04:03:07,800
know a sign of of all those great things

5734
04:03:11,570 --> 04:03:09,960
to come Jessica you could one day walk

5735
04:03:13,910 --> 04:03:11,580
on the moon as as part of the Artemis

5736
04:03:16,189 --> 04:03:13,920
program how does that make you feel the

5737
04:03:17,929 --> 04:03:16,199
idea of being able to explore the the

5738
04:03:21,110 --> 04:03:17,939
surface of another planetary body

5739
04:03:23,269 --> 04:03:21,120
especially for me as a geologist and a

5740
04:03:25,790 --> 04:03:23,279
planetary geologist specifically is just

5741
04:03:27,050 --> 04:03:25,800
super exciting all of the the science

5742
04:03:28,910 --> 04:03:27,060
that we're going to be able to conduct

5743
04:03:30,650 --> 04:03:28,920
from the surface of the Moon Jessica

5744
04:03:38,590 --> 04:03:30,660
Samantha thank you so much and before

5745
04:03:43,969 --> 04:03:41,450
I love it on a double backflip at that

5746
04:03:45,530 --> 04:03:43,979
now Kayla you of course lived and worked

5747
04:03:48,290 --> 04:03:45,540
on the International Space Station as

5748
04:03:50,150 --> 04:03:48,300
part of crew three uh you know do you

5749
04:03:51,349 --> 04:03:50,160
enjoy or did you enjoy doing all those

5750
04:03:53,269 --> 04:03:51,359
science experiments while you were there

5751
04:03:55,250 --> 04:03:53,279
it's a lot of hard work yeah it's

5752
04:03:56,990 --> 04:03:55,260
incredible to be a part of the every

5753
04:03:58,969 --> 04:03:57,000
single experiment it's an honor to play

5754
04:04:00,769 --> 04:03:58,979
a small role in it we got to do some

5755
04:04:02,269 --> 04:04:00,779
really cool Tech demonstrations while we

5756
04:04:04,189 --> 04:04:02,279
were up there too so for me as an

5757
04:04:06,650 --> 04:04:04,199
engineer that was really fun that's a

5758
04:04:09,530 --> 04:04:06,660
photo of me doing the first scanning

5759
04:04:11,510 --> 04:04:09,540
electron microscope samples on the

5760
04:04:12,950 --> 04:04:11,520
International Space Station and it was

5761
04:04:14,630 --> 04:04:12,960
cool for me because I worked with a

5762
04:04:16,370 --> 04:04:14,640
scanning electron microscope in my

5763
04:04:18,469 --> 04:04:16,380
graduate school research that took up

5764
04:04:20,450 --> 04:04:18,479
like it was as big as this desk but

5765
04:04:22,910 --> 04:04:20,460
seeing a miniaturized version of those

5766
04:04:24,530 --> 04:04:22,920
that we have up there and imagining how

5767
04:04:26,689 --> 04:04:24,540
we could use it in a lunar or Martian

5768
04:04:28,010 --> 04:04:26,699
laboratory to better analyze samples and

5769
04:04:29,929 --> 04:04:28,020
decide what to bring home was really

5770
04:04:31,910 --> 04:04:29,939
exciting yeah and you touched on this

5771
04:04:33,710 --> 04:04:31,920
earlier before but I I do think it's

5772
04:04:36,769 --> 04:04:33,720
just so important to note again that

5773
04:04:39,410 --> 04:04:36,779
you're doing science for scientists

5774
04:04:42,290 --> 04:04:39,420
who've been working on the their their

5775
04:04:43,790 --> 04:04:42,300
studies for decades some of them so to

5776
04:04:45,830 --> 04:04:43,800
fulfill that how does that make you feel

5777
04:04:47,750 --> 04:04:45,840
it's incredible we're almost like their

5778
04:04:49,550 --> 04:04:47,760
laboratory technicians for that little

5779
04:04:52,309 --> 04:04:49,560
moment in time you know but they've been

5780
04:04:54,110 --> 04:04:52,319
working their entire life sometimes

5781
04:04:56,150 --> 04:04:54,120
decades years to get that science

5782
04:04:57,650 --> 04:04:56,160
payload up there and it's a really

5783
04:04:59,090 --> 04:04:57,660
unique laboratory environment the

5784
04:05:00,530 --> 04:04:59,100
microgravity environment the space

5785
04:05:01,790 --> 04:05:00,540
environment the radiation environment

5786
04:05:03,469 --> 04:05:01,800
like you heard talked about in those

5787
04:05:04,849 --> 04:05:03,479
videos provides an opportunity to do

5788
04:05:06,950 --> 04:05:04,859
science that we just can't do here on

5789
04:05:09,050 --> 04:05:06,960
Earth yeah to think that what we do on

5790
04:05:11,389 --> 04:05:09,060
the International Space Station can fuel

5791
04:05:13,670 --> 04:05:11,399
future Artemis missions I think the fact

5792
04:05:16,010 --> 04:05:13,680
that they go hand in hand is really cool

5793
04:05:18,229 --> 04:05:16,020
all right so let's take some more social

5794
04:05:20,389 --> 04:05:18,239
media questions uh social media is

5795
04:05:22,729 --> 04:05:20,399
buzzing right now since we launched

5796
04:05:25,070 --> 04:05:22,739
about 48 minutes ago so why don't we

5797
04:05:28,910 --> 04:05:25,080
take the first question I think again

5798
04:05:31,090 --> 04:05:28,920
from after oh no let's see Kayla how do

5799
04:05:34,309 --> 04:05:31,100
you feel after a launch

5800
04:05:36,110 --> 04:05:34,319
super inspired I mean

5801
04:05:37,849 --> 04:05:36,120
we talked about it earlier with the red

5802
04:05:39,769 --> 04:05:37,859
crew and in the moments just after

5803
04:05:42,769 --> 04:05:39,779
launch but this is really the

5804
04:05:45,349 --> 04:05:42,779
culmination of a giant team effort it

5805
04:05:46,910 --> 04:05:45,359
takes every single member of our team to

5806
04:05:49,490 --> 04:05:46,920
pull off a successful launch it's

5807
04:05:51,710 --> 04:05:49,500
incredibly complicated incredibly

5808
04:05:53,389 --> 04:05:51,720
challenging and in some cases kind of

5809
04:05:56,750 --> 04:05:53,399
dangerous for a red crew team who inside

5810
04:05:58,969 --> 04:05:56,760
the blast danger area to make a fix that

5811
04:06:01,729 --> 04:05:58,979
was critical today's launch and so to

5812
04:06:04,849 --> 04:06:01,739
see the team succeed and feel that

5813
04:06:07,189 --> 04:06:04,859
excitement was incredible I really still

5814
04:06:08,630 --> 04:06:07,199
have um Charlie Blackwell Thompson's

5815
04:06:10,429 --> 04:06:08,640
words ringing in my head the fact that

5816
04:06:13,429 --> 04:06:10,439
she said the harder the climb the better

5817
04:06:16,309 --> 04:06:13,439
the view 100 correct

5818
04:06:19,250 --> 04:06:16,319
all right next question is from actor

5819
04:06:21,769 --> 04:06:19,260
Jack Black he starred in a movie called

5820
04:06:24,769 --> 04:06:21,779
uh Apollo 10 and a half he has a

5821
04:06:30,590 --> 04:06:27,950
okay Jack's final question I promise

5822
04:06:32,809 --> 04:06:30,600
let's talk about Orion

5823
04:06:36,110 --> 04:06:32,819
how long will it take for Orion to fly

5824
04:06:38,330 --> 04:06:36,120
around the moon and come home and what's

5825
04:06:40,090 --> 04:06:38,340
that re-entry going to be like it sounds

5826
04:06:43,309 --> 04:06:40,100
like it might be a little hot

5827
04:06:46,429 --> 04:06:43,319
coming in hot

5828
04:06:48,349 --> 04:06:46,439
exactly right Jack and is a 26-day

5829
04:06:51,469 --> 04:06:48,359
mission that we have planned for Artemis

5830
04:06:53,150 --> 04:06:51,479
where it will go to the moon go into a

5831
04:06:54,889 --> 04:06:53,160
distant retrograde orbits we'll get a

5832
04:06:57,229 --> 04:06:54,899
few close flybys and then some time in

5833
04:06:58,610 --> 04:06:57,239
deep space past the moon and then yeah

5834
04:07:00,650 --> 04:06:58,620
that re-entry is going to be something

5835
04:07:03,110 --> 04:07:00,660
else it's going to be 5 000 degrees

5836
04:07:05,210 --> 04:07:03,120
Fahrenheit super hot and so we'll be

5837
04:07:06,530 --> 04:07:05,220
looking at how the heat shield performs

5838
04:07:08,389 --> 04:07:06,540
just to ensure that it'll be able to

5839
04:07:10,610 --> 04:07:08,399
protect the crew for that speed and

5840
04:07:14,090 --> 04:07:10,620
temperature that's half as hot as the

5841
04:07:16,070 --> 04:07:14,100
sun yes it's incredibly hot so we rely

5842
04:07:17,990 --> 04:07:16,080
on that heat shield to keep our systems

5843
04:07:20,090 --> 04:07:18,000
and our crews safe but we expect that

5844
04:07:23,389 --> 04:07:20,100
it'll perform well but we're excited to

5845
04:07:27,769 --> 04:07:23,399
see how it it does in about 26 days okay

5846
04:07:32,170 --> 04:07:30,229
what qualifications are required to

5847
04:07:34,670 --> 04:07:32,180
become an astronaut

5848
04:07:37,070 --> 04:07:34,680
you have to study stem you have to have

5849
04:07:38,990 --> 04:07:37,080
a master's degree or higher in a stem

5850
04:07:41,330 --> 04:07:39,000
field but besides that we're looking for

5851
04:07:42,769 --> 04:07:41,340
people who are awesome team players so

5852
04:07:44,210 --> 04:07:42,779
there's a lot of different roads to

5853
04:07:46,130 --> 04:07:44,220
become an astronaut we seem to be

5854
04:07:48,710 --> 04:07:46,140
getting a lot of questions about how

5855
04:07:49,969 --> 04:07:48,720
people themselves can become astronauts

5856
04:07:52,309 --> 04:07:49,979
I think that's really cool that we might

5857
04:07:53,689 --> 04:07:52,319
see and Inspire again people who might

5858
04:07:56,210 --> 04:07:53,699
think about becoming astronauts

5859
04:07:57,889 --> 04:07:56,220
absolutely okay well thank you Kayla and

5860
04:08:00,710 --> 04:07:57,899
thank you for those who sent in those

5861
04:08:02,630 --> 04:08:00,720
questions we are about 50 minutes after

5862
04:08:04,610 --> 04:08:02,640
the launch of Artemis one and we are

5863
04:08:06,769 --> 04:08:04,620
approaching the next critical Milestone

5864
04:08:08,090 --> 04:08:06,779
that's perigee Rays maneuver so let's

5865
04:08:11,530 --> 04:08:08,100
head back over to Leah and Mission

5866
04:08:15,769 --> 04:08:13,910
thanks Megan and you're right we are

5867
04:08:17,990 --> 04:08:15,779
coming up on perigee Ray's maneuver

5868
04:08:20,389 --> 04:08:18,000
about two minutes from now uh we are now

5869
04:08:22,670 --> 04:08:20,399
51 minutes into the flight of Artemis

5870
04:08:24,349 --> 04:08:22,680
one after lifting off at 1 47 a.m

5871
04:08:27,170 --> 04:08:24,359
eastern time from Kennedy Space Center

5872
04:08:30,050 --> 04:08:27,180
the vehicle now traveling over 14 600

5873
04:08:32,030 --> 04:08:30,060
miles per hour so during Orion's orbit

5874
04:08:34,250 --> 04:08:32,040
of Earth it reaches an apogee in a

5875
04:08:36,229 --> 04:08:34,260
perigee the apogee is the highest point

5876
04:08:38,750 --> 04:08:36,239
above Earth's surface and the perigee is

5877
04:08:41,689 --> 04:08:38,760
the lowest therefore this perigee raised

5878
04:08:43,610 --> 04:08:41,699
maneuver is a firing of the icps rl-10

5879
04:08:45,889 --> 04:08:43,620
engine and it's going to raise the

5880
04:08:48,530 --> 04:08:45,899
lowest point of Orion's orbit over Earth

5881
04:08:50,389 --> 04:08:48,540
this also included a checkout of Orion's

5882
04:08:52,490 --> 04:08:50,399
systems and any adjustments to the solar

5883
04:08:54,530 --> 04:08:52,500
arrays all four of those solar arrays as

5884
04:08:56,090 --> 04:08:54,540
you can see are swept back that's going

5885
04:08:58,790 --> 04:08:56,100
to keep them from having any loads

5886
04:09:01,729 --> 04:08:58,800
imparted that might damage them for use

5887
04:09:03,650 --> 04:09:01,739
later in the mission this also the

5888
04:09:05,929 --> 04:09:03,660
perigee Ray's maneuver will put us in

5889
04:09:08,210 --> 04:09:05,939
the proper position for the translunar

5890
04:09:10,729 --> 04:09:08,220
injection burn that's that really big

5891
04:09:14,450 --> 04:09:10,739
and long burn that we need to send us to

5892
04:09:18,530 --> 04:09:16,790
we're about one minute away from the

5893
04:09:35,889 --> 04:09:18,540
perigee Rays maneuver this is a shorter

5894
04:10:02,870 --> 04:09:39,050
about 45 seconds until the perigee Rays

5895
04:10:07,790 --> 04:10:05,330
coming up on 53 minutes into today's

5896
04:10:09,349 --> 04:10:07,800
Mission and we are standing by for the

5897
04:10:11,330 --> 04:10:09,359
start of the perigee raised maneuver

5898
04:10:13,189 --> 04:10:11,340
again this is a firing of the rl-10

5899
04:10:14,689 --> 04:10:13,199
engine on the interim cryogenic

5900
04:10:33,889 --> 04:10:14,699
propulsion stage it's less than 30

5901
04:10:39,170 --> 04:10:36,229
and we have confirmation of perigee

5902
04:10:41,330 --> 04:10:39,180
Ray's maneuver ignition and full thrust

5903
04:10:43,849 --> 04:10:41,340
this is a live view from

5904
04:11:02,030 --> 04:10:43,859
the spacecraft again a really short burn

5905
04:11:06,889 --> 04:11:04,790
and we have confirmation of perigee rays

5906
04:11:09,050 --> 04:11:06,899
maneuver cut off

5907
04:11:10,189 --> 04:11:09,060
flight Dynamics officer reporting on the

5908
04:11:13,070 --> 04:11:10,199
loops here at Mission Control Houston

5909
04:11:15,469 --> 04:11:13,080
that it was a good burn we are now 54

5910
04:11:18,530 --> 04:11:15,479
minutes into the flight Orion traveling

5911
04:11:20,150 --> 04:11:18,540
14 700 miles per hour and that was the

5912
04:11:21,950 --> 04:11:20,160
perigee raised maneuver lifting the

5913
04:11:23,630 --> 04:11:21,960
lowest part of Orion's orbit around the

5914
04:11:26,030 --> 04:11:23,640
Earth and putting us right where we want

5915
04:11:27,650 --> 04:11:26,040
to be for the trans lunar injection burn

5916
04:11:29,929 --> 04:11:27,660
we're looking for that translunar

5917
04:11:33,650 --> 04:11:29,939
injection burn to happen about 1 hour

5918
04:11:35,929 --> 04:11:33,660
and 26 minutes after launch so about 30

5919
04:11:37,969 --> 04:11:35,939
minutes from now that'll be that long

5920
04:11:39,889 --> 04:11:37,979
burn that helps us break free from the

5921
04:11:43,070 --> 04:11:39,899
pull of Earth's gravity and commits the

5922
04:11:44,689 --> 04:11:43,080
spacecraft to a lunar trajectory so with

5923
04:11:46,130 --> 04:11:44,699
successful completion of the pairs you

5924
04:12:23,269 --> 04:11:46,140
raise maneuver I'm going to toss it back

5925
04:12:27,830 --> 04:12:25,969
test I hope you didn't miss it but if

5926
04:12:30,349 --> 04:12:27,840
you did we have a quick replay of the

5927
04:12:34,910 --> 04:12:32,269
Silence of pressure water now flowing

5928
04:12:37,969 --> 04:12:34,920
under the ml

5929
04:12:42,950 --> 04:12:37,979
and here we go 10 hydrogen burnoff

5930
04:12:44,630 --> 04:12:42,960
igniters initiate seven six five four

5931
04:12:48,889 --> 04:12:44,640
stage engine start

5932
04:12:51,889 --> 04:12:48,899
three two one booster's indignation

5933
04:13:02,990 --> 04:12:51,899
and liftoff of Artemis one we rise

5934
04:13:07,550 --> 04:13:05,630
R4 rs25 engines on the core stage and

5935
04:13:14,090 --> 04:13:07,560
two solid rocket boosters now propelling

5936
04:13:17,929 --> 04:13:16,490
very good good control on the role from

5937
04:13:20,150 --> 04:13:17,939
teams in Mission Control Houston all

5938
04:13:22,070 --> 04:13:20,160
good calls so far now 30 seconds into

5939
04:13:23,750 --> 04:13:22,080
the flight of Artemis one

5940
04:13:25,670 --> 04:13:23,760
first Milestone will be forward the

5941
04:13:27,710 --> 04:13:25,680
vehicle to pass the max Q in about one

5942
04:13:29,389 --> 04:13:27,720
minute and nine seconds into launch this

5943
04:13:37,370 --> 04:13:29,399
is the greatest period of atmospheric

5944
04:13:37,380 --> 04:13:46,729
SLS now traveling 607 miles per hour

5945
04:13:50,929 --> 04:13:48,950
you're looking at 8.8 million pounds of

5946
04:13:54,889 --> 04:13:50,939
Maximum thrust quiet here

5947
04:13:58,490 --> 04:13:56,269
the four core stage engines are

5948
04:14:00,229 --> 04:13:58,500
throttling down ahead of passing through

5949
04:14:02,389 --> 04:14:00,239
Now to celebrate Artemis one's

5950
04:14:04,309 --> 04:14:02,399
successful liftoff is NASA administrator

5951
04:14:06,050 --> 04:14:04,319
Bill Nelson administered you got to

5952
04:14:07,610 --> 04:14:06,060
share what you just told Kayla and I you

5953
04:14:09,469 --> 04:14:07,620
said that that was the biggest flame

5954
04:14:12,650 --> 04:14:09,479
you've ever seen that's that's the

5955
04:14:15,650 --> 04:14:12,660
biggest flame I've ever seen it's the

5956
04:14:17,929 --> 04:14:15,660
most acoustical Shockwave that I had

5957
04:14:22,130 --> 04:14:17,939
ever experienced we were out on the roof

5958
04:14:23,389 --> 04:14:22,140
of the launch control center and I'm

5959
04:14:26,150 --> 04:14:23,399
telling you

5960
04:14:28,969 --> 04:14:26,160
you definitely knew that there was some

5961
04:14:31,189 --> 04:14:28,979
energy being expended over there

5962
04:14:33,110 --> 04:14:31,199
yeah what does it mean to you to be the

5963
04:14:34,790 --> 04:14:33,120
leader of our Organization for a

5964
04:14:36,110 --> 04:14:34,800
historic launch like this we've been

5965
04:14:38,450 --> 04:14:36,120
talking about the team it takes to get

5966
04:14:41,510 --> 04:14:38,460
this done how does it feel to be at the

5967
04:14:44,630 --> 04:14:41,520
helm of that ship well I got to talk to

5968
04:14:48,650 --> 04:14:44,640
the launch control center team

5969
04:14:52,130 --> 04:14:48,660
and I said to them you all are a part of

5970
04:14:53,870 --> 04:14:52,140
a great legacy that has been many many

5971
04:14:58,809 --> 04:14:53,880
years coming

5972
04:15:04,130 --> 04:14:58,819
a lot of Sweat and Tears

5973
04:15:06,170 --> 04:15:04,140
and this Legacy is now taking us as we

5974
04:15:08,090 --> 04:15:06,180
explore the heavens

5975
04:15:12,050 --> 04:15:08,100
and um

5976
04:15:14,210 --> 04:15:12,060
it didn't end with Apollo 17. but this

5977
04:15:17,630 --> 04:15:14,220
time we're going back

5978
04:15:19,670 --> 04:15:17,640
and we're going to learn a lot of what

5979
04:15:23,150 --> 04:15:19,680
we have to and then we're going to Mars

5980
04:15:25,189 --> 04:15:23,160
with humans why is it such a priority

5981
04:15:27,110 --> 04:15:25,199
for the agency to land the first woman

5982
04:15:29,570 --> 04:15:27,120
and first person of color on the moon

5983
04:15:33,110 --> 04:15:29,580
through this Artemis program well I

5984
04:15:35,210 --> 04:15:33,120
think it's reflective of us it's

5985
04:15:38,630 --> 04:15:35,220
reflective of America

5986
04:15:39,429 --> 04:15:38,640
uh we are people

5987
04:15:45,590 --> 04:15:39,439
uh

5988
04:15:47,269 --> 04:15:45,600
our Latin emblem is e pluribus unum in

5989
04:15:50,870 --> 04:15:47,279
the uh in the chamber of the United

5990
04:15:55,729 --> 04:15:50,880
States Senate over that main door is e

5991
04:15:57,290 --> 04:15:55,739
pluribus unum out of many one and so our

5992
04:15:59,389 --> 04:15:57,300
astronaut core

5993
04:16:04,130 --> 04:15:59,399
uh reflects that

5994
04:16:05,929 --> 04:16:04,140
and it's going to be uh the first boots

5995
04:16:08,510 --> 04:16:05,939
back on the moon are going to be the

5996
04:16:11,150 --> 04:16:08,520
first woman and the next man

5997
04:16:12,410 --> 04:16:11,160
yeah and another goal of the Artemis

5998
04:16:14,510 --> 04:16:12,420
program is to support Economic

5999
04:16:16,550 --> 04:16:14,520
Development can you talk to us about how

6000
04:16:20,030 --> 04:16:16,560
this program has been able to do that

6001
04:16:23,210 --> 04:16:20,040
for the country well if you put it in

6002
04:16:26,929 --> 04:16:23,220
NASA's economic report terms

6003
04:16:30,769 --> 04:16:26,939
it's billions of dollars affecting the

6004
04:16:34,670 --> 04:16:30,779
economy almost 400 000 jobs but that's

6005
04:16:36,309 --> 04:16:34,680
just direct think of all the indirect

6006
04:16:39,050 --> 04:16:36,319
uh

6007
04:16:41,750 --> 04:16:39,060
expenditures that are causing the

6008
04:16:44,450 --> 04:16:41,760
economy to rise and more jobs for

6009
04:16:47,269 --> 04:16:44,460
example what you guys are doing on the

6010
04:16:50,030 --> 04:16:47,279
station a lot of your research take for

6011
04:16:53,110 --> 04:16:50,040
example the pharmaceutical research

6012
04:16:56,929 --> 04:16:53,120
you're helping already One Drug that's

6013
04:16:59,929 --> 04:16:56,939
uh being manufactured on Earth better

6014
04:17:03,590 --> 04:16:59,939
because of what you learned in space and

6015
04:17:07,189 --> 04:17:03,600
that drug is attacking cancer now what's

6016
04:17:09,410 --> 04:17:07,199
the value of that that's just additional

6017
04:17:13,189 --> 04:17:09,420
value that is added

6018
04:17:14,990 --> 04:17:13,199
I remind everybody in everybody's pocket

6019
04:17:16,309 --> 04:17:15,000
they've got a cell phone and that's got

6020
04:17:23,090 --> 04:17:16,319
a camera

6021
04:17:24,950 --> 04:17:23,100
out of the NASA space program that's

6022
04:17:26,809 --> 04:17:24,960
right I was absolutely in addition to

6023
04:17:29,210 --> 04:17:26,819
those Innovative new technologies and

6024
04:17:30,469 --> 04:17:29,220
the economic impact I think for me

6025
04:17:32,689 --> 04:17:30,479
seeing this launch today it's so

6026
04:17:35,330 --> 04:17:32,699
palpable just that human desire to

6027
04:17:37,189 --> 04:17:35,340
explore what do you think about what

6028
04:17:40,070 --> 04:17:37,199
we're doing to inspire the Artemis and

6029
04:17:42,229 --> 04:17:40,080
the generations to follow us well I

6030
04:17:45,170 --> 04:17:42,239
think all you have to do is walk into a

6031
04:17:47,210 --> 04:17:45,180
classroom of kids and look how their

6032
04:17:49,070 --> 04:17:47,220
eyes get big when you start talking

6033
04:17:51,769 --> 04:17:49,080
about space

6034
04:17:54,650 --> 04:17:51,779
and that is going to multiply itself

6035
04:17:57,650 --> 04:17:54,660
many fold as we go back to the moon and

6036
04:17:59,750 --> 04:17:57,660
then on to Mars uh it's also going to

6037
04:18:02,030 --> 04:17:59,760
bring about a new generation of

6038
04:18:03,349 --> 04:18:02,040
Engineers and mathematicians and

6039
04:18:07,130 --> 04:18:03,359
technologists

6040
04:18:08,990 --> 04:18:07,140
and scientists and all the benefits of

6041
04:18:12,590 --> 04:18:09,000
that additional

6042
04:18:14,389 --> 04:18:12,600
activity and education coming out of the

6043
04:18:17,330 --> 04:18:14,399
Artemis generation

6044
04:18:20,330 --> 04:18:17,340
look what that's going to do for our

6045
04:18:22,849 --> 04:18:20,340
country and our economy as well as for

6046
04:18:25,010 --> 04:18:22,859
our International partners

6047
04:18:27,729 --> 04:18:25,020
and uh

6048
04:18:29,630 --> 04:18:27,739
it's a great day

6049
04:18:31,130 --> 04:18:29,640
couldn't have said a better myself

6050
04:18:32,929 --> 04:18:31,140
administrator thank you so much for

6051
04:18:35,269 --> 04:18:32,939
joining us for this momentous occasion

6052
04:18:37,010 --> 04:18:35,279
as you said this is the beginning of a

6053
04:18:39,530 --> 04:18:37,020
new age in space exploration thank you

6054
04:18:40,849 --> 04:18:39,540
so much thank you ma'am and Kayla that's

6055
04:18:43,910 --> 04:18:40,859
going to do it for us here at the host

6056
04:18:46,670 --> 04:18:43,920
desk uh launch was just the first step

6057
04:18:47,990 --> 04:18:46,680
in a nearly 26 day Mission our

6058
04:18:50,150 --> 04:18:48,000
colleagues in Houston will now continue

6059
04:18:52,429 --> 04:18:50,160
the broadcast to bring you the next big

6060
04:18:55,070 --> 04:18:52,439
milestone to the Moon from Kayla and me

6061
04:19:09,490 --> 04:18:55,080
have a great day and go Artemis one go

6062
04:19:14,269 --> 04:19:11,929
and we had a great ride to orbit today

6063
04:19:16,969 --> 04:19:14,279
we are now one hour and two minutes

6064
04:19:18,830 --> 04:19:16,979
since we launched the Artemis 1 Mission

6065
04:19:21,469 --> 04:19:18,840
Orion is traveling with the interim

6066
04:19:23,630 --> 04:19:21,479
cryogenic propulsion stage now almost 15

6067
04:19:25,309 --> 04:19:23,640
000 miles per hour we recently saw the

6068
04:19:27,830 --> 04:19:25,319
perigee raised maneuver that's where we

6069
04:19:29,330 --> 04:19:27,840
lifted the lowest point of Orion's orbit

6070
04:19:31,189 --> 04:19:29,340
around the Earth and it puts us in the

6071
04:19:33,410 --> 04:19:31,199
perfect position to prepare us for

6072
04:19:55,010 --> 04:19:33,420
translunar injection burn coming up in

6073
04:19:58,849 --> 04:19:57,229
so again we are looking forward to that

6074
04:20:01,189 --> 04:19:58,859
translunar injection burn that's what

6075
04:20:02,870 --> 04:20:01,199
it's going to commit us to our journey

6076
04:20:04,969 --> 04:20:02,880
to the moon and to tell us a little bit

6077
04:20:07,729 --> 04:20:04,979
more about the translunar injection burn

6078
04:20:09,469 --> 04:20:07,739
we've got Dan Hewitt standing by to show

6079
04:20:10,610 --> 04:20:09,479
us on the moon board how it's all going

6080
04:20:12,469 --> 04:20:10,620
to go down

6081
04:20:14,750 --> 04:20:12,479
hey thanks Leah everybody Welcome Back

6082
04:20:16,849 --> 04:20:14,760
To The Moon board so trans lunar

6083
04:20:18,410 --> 04:20:16,859
injection this is the big one just a

6084
04:20:20,570 --> 04:20:18,420
refresher we're going to be using this

6085
04:20:22,610 --> 04:20:20,580
the interim cryogenic propulsion stage

6086
04:20:24,830 --> 04:20:22,620
this is what's taken over for all of our

6087
04:20:26,630 --> 04:20:24,840
in-space propulsion Maneuvers after that

6088
04:20:29,210 --> 04:20:26,640
core stage and those boosters have since

6089
04:20:31,070 --> 04:20:29,220
dropped away modified every stage from

6090
04:20:34,670 --> 04:20:31,080
the Delta IV family Rockets from United

6091
04:20:38,210 --> 04:20:34,680
launch Alliance hydrogen oxygen fueling

6092
04:20:41,450 --> 04:20:38,220
the rl-10b-2 engine produces about 24

6093
04:20:43,550 --> 04:20:41,460
000 pounds of thrust in a vacuum now the

6094
04:20:46,189 --> 04:20:43,560
trans lunar injection is what's going to

6095
04:20:49,189 --> 04:20:46,199
give us the energy to go from low earth

6096
04:20:52,010 --> 04:20:49,199
orbit all the way out here now what does

6097
04:20:54,469 --> 04:20:52,020
that mean here comes a really overly

6098
04:20:57,170 --> 04:20:54,479
simplified orbital mechanics lesson

6099
04:20:59,210 --> 04:20:57,180
let's say you're in orbit around a

6100
04:21:01,429 --> 04:20:59,220
planet say Earth and you're in a nice

6101
04:21:03,590 --> 04:21:01,439
circular orbit but you want to have that

6102
04:21:05,450 --> 04:21:03,600
orbit be even higher well what you can

6103
04:21:08,330 --> 04:21:05,460
do is fire your engine behind you

6104
04:21:11,030 --> 04:21:08,340
increase your speed and that then

6105
04:21:13,370 --> 04:21:11,040
increases the corresponding aperture are

6106
04:21:14,870 --> 04:21:13,380
the highest point of your Orbit on the

6107
04:21:17,330 --> 04:21:14,880
other side and that's how you raise it

6108
04:21:19,910 --> 04:21:17,340
up well if you wanted to make it into a

6109
04:21:22,429 --> 04:21:19,920
nice Circle you could follow up and do

6110
04:21:24,229 --> 04:21:22,439
another burn right here and that would

6111
04:21:25,729 --> 04:21:24,239
raise your perigee or your lowest point

6112
04:21:27,650 --> 04:21:25,739
and then you're in a circular orbit

6113
04:21:29,809 --> 04:21:27,660
around Earth that's essentially called a

6114
04:21:31,969 --> 04:21:29,819
Homen transfer if you've ever followed

6115
04:21:33,950 --> 04:21:31,979
our missions to the space station that's

6116
04:21:35,570 --> 04:21:33,960
what we're doing to kind of gradually

6117
04:21:38,090 --> 04:21:35,580
raise our orbit until we get to the

6118
04:21:40,550 --> 04:21:38,100
space station but for this we're talking

6119
04:21:43,130 --> 04:21:40,560
about a lot more energy to get somewhere

6120
04:21:45,290 --> 04:21:43,140
a lot farther away so what we're

6121
04:21:46,969 --> 04:21:45,300
essentially doing is we're going to be

6122
04:21:49,250 --> 04:21:46,979
in this circular orbit around planet

6123
04:21:52,429 --> 04:21:49,260
Earth and we are going to be firing that

6124
04:21:54,950 --> 04:21:52,439
engine with 24 000 pounds of thrust for

6125
04:21:56,929 --> 04:21:54,960
about 18 minutes and what that does is

6126
04:22:00,349 --> 04:21:56,939
it doesn't just increase your apogee by

6127
04:22:03,710 --> 04:22:00,359
a little it increases it all the way out

6128
04:22:05,689 --> 04:22:03,720
and it's timed so by the time Orion is

6129
04:22:08,090 --> 04:22:05,699
hitting its apogee the highest point of

6130
04:22:10,490 --> 04:22:08,100
that orbit the Moon will have moved into

6131
04:22:12,290 --> 04:22:10,500
position that you're entering into its

6132
04:22:14,450 --> 04:22:12,300
fear of influence you're entering into

6133
04:22:16,550 --> 04:22:14,460
that area where the lunar gravity is

6134
04:22:19,010 --> 04:22:16,560
going to be able to capture you and so

6135
04:22:20,689 --> 04:22:19,020
that's why we're firing the engine for

6136
04:22:22,969 --> 04:22:20,699
that long we need to have that much

6137
04:22:24,830 --> 04:22:22,979
thrust that much time to get the energy

6138
04:22:26,990 --> 04:22:24,840
to go out there so that's the rough

6139
04:22:31,070 --> 04:22:27,000
orbital mechanics of what we're doing

6140
04:22:33,110 --> 04:22:31,080
now after that tli burn is done the icps

6141
04:22:35,929 --> 04:22:33,120
is going to separate its job largely

6142
04:22:37,969 --> 04:22:35,939
done in the Artemis One mission as we

6143
04:22:40,490 --> 04:22:37,979
heard it's got some secondary payloads

6144
04:22:43,370 --> 04:22:40,500
up in this stage adapter here that it's

6145
04:22:45,950 --> 04:22:43,380
going to deploy on its way out the icps

6146
04:22:48,229 --> 04:22:45,960
will have one more burn after tli called

6147
04:22:51,229 --> 04:22:48,239
the disposal burn and what that's going

6148
04:22:53,990 --> 04:22:51,239
to do is put it on a trajectory almost

6149
04:22:55,189 --> 04:22:54,000
looking parallel to that of Orion where

6150
04:22:57,830 --> 04:22:55,199
it's going to go around the Moon

6151
04:23:00,110 --> 04:22:57,840
slingshot away and then go into what's

6152
04:23:01,969 --> 04:23:00,120
called a heliocentric orbit it's

6153
04:23:03,950 --> 04:23:01,979
actually going to go into orbit around

6154
04:23:06,590 --> 04:23:03,960
the sun just like Earth it's going to

6155
04:23:08,870 --> 04:23:06,600
leave the Earth Moon system completely

6156
04:23:10,849 --> 04:23:08,880
and then after that all of the

6157
04:23:14,090 --> 04:23:10,859
propulsion duties get handed over to the

6158
04:23:15,710 --> 04:23:14,100
European service module so it'll be

6159
04:23:17,450 --> 04:23:15,720
using its engines it's going to do the

6160
04:23:18,950 --> 04:23:17,460
outbound trajectory correction burn at

6161
04:23:21,290 --> 04:23:18,960
least the first one on flight day one

6162
04:23:22,969 --> 04:23:21,300
and a couple more until we get out to

6163
04:23:25,610 --> 04:23:22,979
the moon and get ready to head into

6164
04:23:27,650 --> 04:23:25,620
distance retrograde orbit so that's tli

6165
04:23:30,229 --> 04:23:27,660
it's coming up next it's going to be a

6166
04:23:31,790 --> 04:23:30,239
really big moment to pay attention to so

6167
04:23:38,870 --> 04:23:31,800
we'll send it back over to Leah to walk

6168
04:23:43,429 --> 04:23:41,330
thanks Dan we are one hour six minutes

6169
04:23:46,370 --> 04:23:43,439
and 30 seconds into the flight of

6170
04:23:48,950 --> 04:23:46,380
Artemis one now traveling over 15 200

6171
04:23:50,870 --> 04:23:48,960
miles per hour

6172
04:23:52,550 --> 04:23:50,880
again we've recently had the perigee

6173
04:23:54,229 --> 04:23:52,560
raised maneuver and in less than 20

6174
04:23:56,210 --> 04:23:54,239
minutes now we'll be looking for the

6175
04:23:58,429 --> 04:23:56,220
translunar injection burn that Dan just

6176
04:24:00,710 --> 04:23:58,439
showcased that's going to send us to the

6177
04:24:02,450 --> 04:24:00,720
moon but our missions started off with

6178
04:24:31,010 --> 04:24:02,460
an epic show from the space launch

6179
04:24:35,330 --> 04:24:33,349
again the space launch system is what

6180
04:24:39,170 --> 04:24:35,340
carried us into orbit today launching

6181
04:24:41,090 --> 04:24:39,180
off at 1 47 a.m eastern time and we've

6182
04:24:42,650 --> 04:24:41,100
got a couple of special guests from

6183
04:24:44,570 --> 04:24:42,660
Marshall space flight center we have

6184
04:24:46,910 --> 04:24:44,580
Bruce tiller the solid rocket booster

6185
04:24:49,490 --> 04:24:46,920
manager and Johnny Heflin the rs-25

6186
04:24:51,170 --> 04:24:49,500
engine manager to tell us more about the

6187
04:24:53,150 --> 04:24:51,180
maiden voyage of the rocket now they

6188
04:24:55,849 --> 04:24:53,160
both got to watch it live at Kennedy

6189
04:24:57,229 --> 04:24:55,859
Space Center so a big high to you Bruce

6190
04:24:58,250 --> 04:24:57,239
and Johnny thank you so much for joining

6191
04:25:00,290 --> 04:24:58,260
us today

6192
04:25:03,229 --> 04:25:00,300
thank you thank you for having us yes

6193
04:25:10,010 --> 04:25:05,150
and can you tell me a little bit about

6194
04:25:15,410 --> 04:25:12,710
cuate sure so so I manage the booster

6195
04:25:17,630 --> 04:25:15,420
part of the rocket and the boosters were

6196
04:25:18,950 --> 04:25:17,640
fantastic they performed just as we

6197
04:25:20,630 --> 04:25:18,960
expected

6198
04:25:22,309 --> 04:25:20,640
um we got to see some of the data

6199
04:25:24,590 --> 04:25:22,319
obviously the team hadn't plotted at all

6200
04:25:26,689 --> 04:25:24,600
but the pressures looked great you know

6201
04:25:30,110 --> 04:25:26,699
it it burned for just the right amount

6202
04:25:32,269 --> 04:25:30,120
of time and uh the it separated great we

6203
04:25:34,010 --> 04:25:32,279
could see that as well so very pleased

6204
04:25:35,750 --> 04:25:34,020
we were confident it would work well and

6205
04:25:38,570 --> 04:25:35,760
it did very happy

6206
04:25:40,189 --> 04:25:38,580
similar story for RS 25 nominal what we

6207
04:25:42,950 --> 04:25:40,199
call nominal performance the engines

6208
04:25:45,349 --> 04:25:42,960
performed exactly as predicted based on

6209
04:25:46,849 --> 04:25:45,359
the quick look data like the booster

6210
04:25:48,950 --> 04:25:46,859
we've got a lot of data to look at but

6211
04:25:51,950 --> 04:25:48,960
so far the data looks really really good

6212
04:25:54,349 --> 04:25:51,960
these historic rs-25s that have 25

6213
04:25:56,389 --> 04:25:54,359
flights between them on coming off the

6214
04:25:57,530 --> 04:25:56,399
shuttle program so really looking

6215
04:26:01,309 --> 04:25:57,540
forward to getting a look at the data

6216
04:26:04,790 --> 04:26:03,410
that's fantastic and we agree it was it

6217
04:26:06,290 --> 04:26:04,800
was amazing to monitor here and the

6218
04:26:08,269 --> 04:26:06,300
loops were very quiet in Mission Control

6219
04:26:10,610 --> 04:26:08,279
Houston that was a good sign you knew

6220
04:26:12,349 --> 04:26:10,620
that things were going well so we know

6221
04:26:14,870 --> 04:26:12,359
that the launch abort system was

6222
04:26:16,370 --> 04:26:14,880
inactive for this Mission but it will be

6223
04:26:18,229 --> 04:26:16,380
active for when we have crew on board

6224
04:26:20,269 --> 04:26:18,239
for Artemis 2. are there any other

6225
04:26:23,030 --> 04:26:20,279
differences we can expect to see in the

6226
04:26:25,429 --> 04:26:23,040
rocket for Artemis 2. so for the

6227
04:26:27,469 --> 04:26:25,439
boosters by and large no if I talk about

6228
04:26:28,849 --> 04:26:27,479
the boosters from top to bottom we

6229
04:26:30,590 --> 04:26:28,859
didn't we are going to make one change

6230
04:26:33,050 --> 04:26:30,600
though because the crew is on it we're

6231
04:26:36,110 --> 04:26:33,060
going to have a delay timer in there so

6232
04:26:39,290 --> 04:26:36,120
that if for some reason they need to

6233
04:26:43,030 --> 04:26:39,300
abort we have a a few seconds there

6234
04:26:45,830 --> 04:26:43,040
before after they abort before the the

6235
04:26:47,570 --> 04:26:45,840
termination system destroys the rocket

6236
04:26:49,610 --> 04:26:47,580
so we will add that but other than that

6237
04:26:52,189 --> 04:26:49,620
nope these boosters will be the same

6238
04:26:55,610 --> 04:26:52,199
second flight is the first same story

6239
04:26:57,710 --> 04:26:55,620
for rs25 it will be in the next set of

6240
04:27:00,410 --> 04:26:57,720
four uh Heritage engines from the

6241
04:27:01,969 --> 04:27:00,420
shuttle program configuration wise

6242
04:27:05,110 --> 04:27:01,979
they'll be the same as what we flew

6243
04:27:09,410 --> 04:27:07,670
then I'm glad it all went so well and so

6244
04:27:11,149 --> 04:27:09,420
after you get that data back from today

6245
04:27:13,250 --> 04:27:11,159
what's next for your team

6246
04:27:15,649 --> 04:27:13,260
well for my team we've still got a ton

6247
04:27:17,570 --> 04:27:15,659
of work to do we're we're not only I

6248
04:27:20,510 --> 04:27:17,580
mean we're working on at least three

6249
04:27:23,090 --> 04:27:20,520
flight sets at the same time uh and so

6250
04:27:24,590 --> 04:27:23,100
we've we've got two and three and four

6251
04:27:26,450 --> 04:27:24,600
to work on

6252
04:27:28,729 --> 04:27:26,460
um we also are working on a new booster

6253
04:27:31,550 --> 04:27:28,739
that's a composite case design that will

6254
04:27:33,530 --> 04:27:31,560
replace this steel case version that

6255
04:27:34,969 --> 04:27:33,540
we're flying today so so we're excited

6256
04:27:37,070 --> 04:27:34,979
about that and there's a lot a lot of

6257
04:27:39,410 --> 04:27:37,080
work going on there as well so we've got

6258
04:27:43,250 --> 04:27:39,420
a lot to do and we'll just keep doing it

6259
04:27:44,750 --> 04:27:43,260
so rs25 super busy as well we have the

6260
04:27:47,510 --> 04:27:44,760
Artemis 2 engines have already been

6261
04:27:49,429 --> 04:27:47,520
delivered to math and they're on on

6262
04:27:52,309 --> 04:27:49,439
schedule to be installed in the Artemis

6263
04:27:54,590 --> 04:27:52,319
2 core stage in mid-January

6264
04:27:56,630 --> 04:27:54,600
we're also about to start the

6265
04:27:59,090 --> 04:27:56,640
certification test series for the new

6266
04:28:00,769 --> 04:27:59,100
rs-25 engines that we're building we

6267
04:28:03,050 --> 04:28:00,779
have Heritage engines for the first four

6268
04:28:05,689 --> 04:28:03,060
flights beyond that coming in on Artemis

6269
04:28:07,670 --> 04:28:05,699
five we will fly what we call the rs-25

6270
04:28:11,030 --> 04:28:07,680
restart engines that have been

6271
04:28:12,830 --> 04:28:11,040
redesigned to reduce cost and

6272
04:28:14,870 --> 04:28:12,840
re-establish manufacturing for future

6273
04:28:16,370 --> 04:28:14,880
flights so we're really excited to get

6274
04:28:20,030 --> 04:28:16,380
into that certification test series

6275
04:28:23,689 --> 04:28:22,189
all right well thank you both so much

6276
04:28:25,130 --> 04:28:23,699
again for joining us I'm glad that you

6277
04:28:27,290 --> 04:28:25,140
got to watch the launch and a major

6278
04:28:28,670 --> 04:28:27,300
congratulations to you and your teams

6279
04:28:32,030 --> 04:28:28,680
for all of the effort that you've poured

6280
04:28:37,189 --> 04:28:32,040
into this go Artemis great day great day

6281
04:28:42,469 --> 04:28:40,130
all right and we are now one hour and 12

6282
04:28:45,590 --> 04:28:42,479
minutes into the flight of Artemis one

6283
04:28:48,110 --> 04:28:45,600
we are traveling at orbital velocity

6284
04:28:49,849 --> 04:28:48,120
again Orion is currently attached to the

6285
04:28:51,530 --> 04:28:49,859
interim cryogenic propulsion stage which

6286
04:28:53,330 --> 04:28:51,540
recently performed the perigee Rays

6287
04:28:55,130 --> 04:28:53,340
maneuver and we are standing by for

6288
04:28:57,469 --> 04:28:55,140
translunar injection burn now less than

6289
04:29:00,349 --> 04:28:57,479
15 minutes away it's going to be about

6290
04:29:02,210 --> 04:29:00,359
an 18 minute burn that will commit us to

6291
04:29:04,490 --> 04:29:02,220
the Moon

6292
04:29:06,469 --> 04:29:04,500
part of the Artemis program's goal is to

6293
04:29:08,809 --> 04:29:06,479
inspire the next generation of dreamers

6294
04:29:10,610 --> 04:29:08,819
and Explorers so we want to show you

6295
04:29:14,870 --> 04:29:10,620
what students are doing right now to

6296
04:29:18,649 --> 04:29:17,090
NASA's Artemis Mission will land the

6297
04:29:21,469 --> 04:29:18,659
first woman in the first person of

6298
04:29:23,689 --> 04:29:21,479
Heller on the moon and today's students

6299
04:29:26,689 --> 04:29:23,699
are the Artemis generation

6300
04:29:28,490 --> 04:29:26,699
if you're a student you can design and

6301
04:29:30,950 --> 04:29:28,500
build technologies that support the

6302
04:29:33,590 --> 04:29:30,960
Artemis Mission with NASA's Artemis

6303
04:29:36,649 --> 04:29:33,600
student challenges no matter your

6304
04:29:38,450 --> 04:29:36,659
background or experience you're invited

6305
04:29:43,570 --> 04:29:38,460
to choose a challenge that interests you

6306
04:29:43,580 --> 04:29:46,689
robots

6307
04:29:46,699 --> 04:29:50,050
tool

6308
04:29:53,950 --> 04:29:51,860
software

6309
04:29:56,710 --> 04:29:53,960
[Music]

6310
04:29:59,330 --> 04:29:56,720
vehicles

6311
04:30:03,290 --> 04:29:59,340
or other Technologies there's an

6312
04:30:07,969 --> 04:30:05,149
find a mentor and build a team of

6313
04:30:13,090 --> 04:30:10,429
remembering your ideas to life with

6314
04:30:15,250 --> 04:30:13,100
NASA's Artemis students

6315
04:30:18,110 --> 04:30:15,260
visit

6316
04:30:20,030 --> 04:30:18,120
stem.nasa.gov Artemis and see how you

6317
04:30:21,380 --> 04:30:20,040
can join one of NASA's Mission related

6318
04:30:33,849 --> 04:30:21,390
student challenges

6319
04:30:39,830 --> 04:30:37,969
again one hour and 13 minutes 30 seconds

6320
04:30:41,870 --> 04:30:39,840
since liftoff today we are looking

6321
04:30:43,670 --> 04:30:41,880
towards translunar injection burn now

6322
04:30:45,590 --> 04:30:43,680
about 13 minutes away that's going to

6323
04:30:47,929 --> 04:30:45,600
send us to the moon but did you know

6324
04:30:50,210 --> 04:30:47,939
that you were invited to fly on the

6325
04:30:52,309 --> 04:30:50,220
first Artemis Mission too earlier this

6326
04:30:55,130 --> 04:30:52,319
year NASA asked the public to create a

6327
04:30:57,050 --> 04:30:55,140
pass to virtually board Orion anyone who

6328
04:30:58,910 --> 04:30:57,060
signed up got to include their name on a

6329
04:31:01,429 --> 04:30:58,920
flash drive I know my name is on there

6330
04:31:03,830 --> 04:31:01,439
and that flash drive is on Orion right

6331
04:31:11,689 --> 04:31:03,840
now for its Journey around the Moon it

6332
04:31:16,309 --> 04:31:14,149
the Orion spacecraft is designed to

6333
04:31:18,469 --> 04:31:16,319
carry four crew members to lunar orbit

6334
04:31:20,929 --> 04:31:18,479
which we're preparing for on Artemis 2.

6335
04:31:22,550 --> 04:31:20,939
NASA astronaut Randy bresnick brought us

6336
04:31:24,170 --> 04:31:22,560
through the hatch of the vehicle to show

6337
04:31:28,570 --> 04:31:24,180
us where those future crew members will

6338
04:31:33,050 --> 04:31:31,610
this is the Orion crew station where the

6339
04:31:34,610 --> 04:31:33,060
crew will be when they fly the vehicle

6340
04:31:36,170 --> 04:31:34,620
as you can see the commander seats on

6341
04:31:38,210 --> 04:31:36,180
the left the pilot seat is on the right

6342
04:31:41,450 --> 04:31:38,220
compared to the Space Shuttle which had

6343
04:31:43,550 --> 04:31:41,460
over 1200 switches controls and circuit

6344
04:31:47,090 --> 04:31:43,560
breakers Artemis astronauts will have

6345
04:31:49,309 --> 04:31:47,100
much less only about 63. inside the crew

6346
04:31:51,349 --> 04:31:49,319
4 can live and work for up to 21 days at

6347
04:31:53,210 --> 04:31:51,359
a time which is several days longer than

6348
04:31:55,309 --> 04:31:53,220
the previous crude Apollo missions to

6349
04:31:57,410 --> 04:31:55,319
the moon the interior is about 30

6350
04:31:59,149 --> 04:31:57,420
percent larger than those Apollo era

6351
04:32:01,910 --> 04:31:59,159
capsules to give more crew living in

6352
04:32:03,590 --> 04:32:01,920
working space everything crew needs is

6353
04:32:05,210 --> 04:32:03,600
packed right under the floor thanks to

6354
04:32:06,710 --> 04:32:05,220
the Orion storage system under these

6355
04:32:08,870 --> 04:32:06,720
panels is space for everything ranging

6356
04:32:10,670 --> 04:32:08,880
from food clothing sleeping bags to

6357
04:32:12,769 --> 04:32:10,680
science and camera equipment and even

6358
04:32:14,510 --> 04:32:12,779
the tools necessary to perform repairs

6359
04:32:15,950 --> 04:32:14,520
if required on the upper part of the

6360
04:32:18,050 --> 04:32:15,960
crew compartment or what we call the

6361
04:32:19,670 --> 04:32:18,060
overhead is the docking compartment a

6362
04:32:21,410 --> 04:32:19,680
crucial component to Future exploration

6363
04:32:23,149 --> 04:32:21,420
it allows Crews to dock the Orion

6364
04:32:26,030 --> 04:32:23,159
capsule to Gateway NASA's Next

6365
04:32:28,010 --> 04:32:26,040
Generation lunar Outpost once they dock

6366
04:32:29,510 --> 04:32:28,020
Crews will have the ability to or to

6367
04:32:31,309 --> 04:32:29,520
lunar Landers also attached to the

6368
04:32:33,170 --> 04:32:31,319
Gateway and then head down to the

6369
04:32:35,030 --> 04:32:33,180
surface of the Moon through these

6370
04:32:37,070 --> 04:32:35,040
windows the four crew members will have

6371
04:32:38,809 --> 04:32:37,080
amazing front row seats of their journey

6372
04:32:41,090 --> 04:32:38,819
to and from the Moon do you remember

6373
04:32:42,710 --> 04:32:41,100
Apollo 8 and billander's famous photo of

6374
04:32:44,570 --> 04:32:42,720
earthrise as they came around the moon

6375
04:32:46,189 --> 04:32:44,580
and saw it for the first time imagine

6376
04:32:48,170 --> 04:32:46,199
being one of those first crew members on

6377
04:32:50,210 --> 04:32:48,180
Orion having their own modern day

6378
04:32:52,010 --> 04:32:50,220
earthrise and knowing they are traveling

6379
04:32:54,530 --> 04:32:52,020
farther from Earth than humans have ever

6380
04:32:56,450 --> 04:32:54,540
traveled before thanks to thousands of

6381
04:32:57,710 --> 04:32:56,460
people from across the country and

6382
04:33:02,450 --> 04:32:57,720
around the world who have helped with

6383
04:33:04,849 --> 04:33:02,460
the research design construction testing

6384
04:33:06,230 --> 04:33:04,859
and more testing my fellow astronauts

6385
04:33:07,970 --> 04:33:06,240
and I know that whoever gets selected

6386
04:33:09,529 --> 04:33:07,980
for future Artemis missions they're

6387
04:33:11,449 --> 04:33:09,539
going to have the Journey of a Lifetime

6388
04:33:21,470 --> 04:33:11,459
on board the spectacular vehicle we call

6389
04:33:26,689 --> 04:33:23,810
we're now coming up on 10 minutes until

6390
04:33:28,250 --> 04:33:26,699
the translunar injection burn again

6391
04:33:30,289 --> 04:33:28,260
Orion is so attached to the interim

6392
04:33:31,789 --> 04:33:30,299
cryogenic propulsion stage that rl-10

6393
04:33:34,250 --> 04:33:31,799
engine is what's going to perform the

6394
04:33:36,170 --> 04:33:34,260
burn for us but to hear more about Orion

6395
04:33:37,730 --> 04:33:36,180
I'm going to send it back to Dan at the

6396
04:33:39,170 --> 04:33:37,740
Moon board to tell us all about our

6397
04:33:41,330 --> 04:33:39,180
spacecraft

6398
04:33:43,910 --> 04:33:41,340
hey thanks Leah welcome back to the Moon

6399
04:33:46,010 --> 04:33:43,920
board and Orion so it's still attached

6400
04:33:48,349 --> 04:33:46,020
to icps still flying on the very upper

6401
04:33:50,269 --> 04:33:48,359
part of SLS but pretty soon it's going

6402
04:33:52,490 --> 04:33:50,279
to be flying free and after that happens

6403
04:33:54,470 --> 04:33:52,500
it's going to take over all of the

6404
04:33:56,510 --> 04:33:54,480
propulsion all of the flying everything

6405
04:33:57,830 --> 04:33:56,520
for the rest of the mission and so to

6406
04:33:59,631 --> 04:33:57,840
talk a little bit more about propulsion

6407
04:34:01,670 --> 04:33:59,641
let's focus in on this the European

6408
04:34:03,650 --> 04:34:01,680
service module so this is what's going

6409
04:34:05,990 --> 04:34:03,660
to be doing all of our Maneuvers after

6410
04:34:07,670 --> 04:34:06,000
we're done with icps and that translunar

6411
04:34:09,650 --> 04:34:07,680
injection burn and it's going to be

6412
04:34:12,289 --> 04:34:09,660
doing that with a mix of three different

6413
04:34:14,269 --> 04:34:12,299
types of engines first one here on the

6414
04:34:16,490 --> 04:34:14,279
bottom is the large orbital maneuvering

6415
04:34:18,109 --> 04:34:16,500
system engine this one produces about

6416
04:34:20,449 --> 04:34:18,119
six thousand pounds of thrust that's

6417
04:34:22,750 --> 04:34:20,459
going to be doing a lot of your really

6418
04:34:25,670 --> 04:34:22,760
major pushing Maneuvers when we get into

6419
04:34:28,131 --> 04:34:25,680
the powered flybys the insertion into

6420
04:34:30,349 --> 04:34:28,141
distance retrograde orbit the burns to

6421
04:34:32,510 --> 04:34:30,359
start sending us back home that's the

6422
04:34:35,269 --> 04:34:32,520
one that's really applying the most

6423
04:34:36,949 --> 04:34:35,279
force it can also gimbal which

6424
04:34:39,890 --> 04:34:36,959
essentially means it can swivel around

6425
04:34:41,869 --> 04:34:39,900
and that can help your steering it's

6426
04:34:44,090 --> 04:34:41,879
helped out by these eight auxiliary

6427
04:34:45,289 --> 04:34:44,100
thrusters they're in pairs those are a

6428
04:34:48,230 --> 04:34:45,299
little bit smaller each one of those

6429
04:34:51,170 --> 04:34:48,240
produces about 105 pounds of thrust each

6430
04:34:53,269 --> 04:34:51,180
but they add some additional push to

6431
04:34:56,209 --> 04:34:53,279
that orbital maneuvering system engine

6432
04:34:58,551 --> 04:34:56,219
and then we also have 24 reaction

6433
04:35:00,410 --> 04:34:58,561
control system thrusters these smaller

6434
04:35:02,689 --> 04:35:00,420
ones that you can see all around Orion

6435
04:35:04,609 --> 04:35:02,699
those are used for a lot of attitude

6436
04:35:07,250 --> 04:35:04,619
control so again which they can help

6437
04:35:09,769 --> 04:35:07,260
which way you're pointing but also small

6438
04:35:12,170 --> 04:35:09,779
translational Maneuvers so moving side

6439
04:35:15,890 --> 04:35:12,180
to side up down those can be called into

6440
04:35:17,570 --> 04:35:15,900
play now all of those engines share a

6441
04:35:20,390 --> 04:35:17,580
common fuel source they're using what

6442
04:35:22,330 --> 04:35:20,400
are called hypergolic fuels a mix of

6443
04:35:24,830 --> 04:35:22,340
fuel and an oxidizer in this case

6444
04:35:27,230 --> 04:35:24,840
monomethyl hydrazine and nitrogen

6445
04:35:28,789 --> 04:35:27,240
tetroxide now those are long names and

6446
04:35:30,650 --> 04:35:28,799
they're hypergolic fuels what does that

6447
04:35:33,109 --> 04:35:30,660
mean a hypergolic fuel essentially means

6448
04:35:35,510 --> 04:35:33,119
you take your fuel in your oxidizer you

6449
04:35:37,789 --> 04:35:35,520
put them together you get a reaction you

6450
04:35:39,830 --> 04:35:37,799
get an exothermic reaction which creates

6451
04:35:41,689 --> 04:35:39,840
that thrust which comes comes out you

6452
04:35:44,269 --> 04:35:41,699
don't need an ignition Source like we

6453
04:35:46,670 --> 04:35:44,279
have on SLS which is using oxygen and

6454
04:35:49,070 --> 04:35:46,680
hydrogen they're extremely reliable

6455
04:35:50,689 --> 04:35:49,080
they're very stable you don't have to

6456
04:35:53,449 --> 04:35:50,699
store them at cryogenic temperatures

6457
04:35:55,730 --> 04:35:53,459
which is really necessary for smaller

6458
04:35:57,650 --> 04:35:55,740
spacecraft in orbit because it takes a

6459
04:36:00,949 --> 04:35:57,660
tremendous amount of electrical energy

6460
04:36:03,410 --> 04:36:00,959
just to keep fuels that cold and so we

6461
04:36:05,929 --> 04:36:03,420
can store them at a much closer to room

6462
04:36:08,750 --> 04:36:05,939
temperature essentially when they're on

6463
04:36:10,429 --> 04:36:08,760
board this spacecraft so that's all of

6464
04:36:12,470 --> 04:36:10,439
the primary propulsion that's going to

6465
04:36:14,090 --> 04:36:12,480
take over and again that's going to be

6466
04:36:15,230 --> 04:36:14,100
after we get through translunar

6467
04:36:17,631 --> 04:36:15,240
injection we're going to be doing

6468
04:36:20,029 --> 04:36:17,641
correction burns on the way out a number

6469
04:36:22,189 --> 04:36:20,039
around the Moon as we hang out on

6470
04:36:24,349 --> 04:36:22,199
distant retrograde orbit for about a

6471
04:36:26,750 --> 04:36:24,359
week and then eventually sending us on

6472
04:36:30,230 --> 04:36:26,760
the way back home but still attached to

6473
04:36:32,810 --> 04:36:30,240
icps right now going to detach shortly

6474
04:36:34,429 --> 04:36:32,820
after that burn is complete and then

6475
04:36:36,410 --> 04:36:34,439
Orion will be flying free the service

6476
04:36:38,150 --> 04:36:36,420
module pushing it for the rest of the

6477
04:36:43,789 --> 04:36:38,160
way so with that I'll send it back over

6478
04:36:48,830 --> 04:36:46,369
thank you Dan and yes indeed we are

6479
04:36:50,929 --> 04:36:48,840
looking for tli coming up in about seven

6480
04:36:52,970 --> 04:36:50,939
minutes from now again that's one of a

6481
04:36:55,131 --> 04:36:52,980
long that's a long run for us about 18

6482
04:36:56,990 --> 04:36:55,141
minutes long but before we get to that

6483
04:36:59,150 --> 04:36:57,000
Milestone I have a friend of mine here

6484
04:37:01,070 --> 04:36:59,160
it's Stu McClung the program planning

6485
04:37:03,650 --> 04:37:01,080
and control office chief of staff for

6486
04:37:05,570 --> 04:37:03,660
the Orion program Stu I am so glad that

6487
04:37:07,789 --> 04:37:05,580
you could join us today thank you good

6488
04:37:09,410 --> 04:37:07,799
morning good to be here so how is the

6489
04:37:12,349 --> 04:37:09,420
spacecraft performing so far and what's

6490
04:37:14,689 --> 04:37:12,359
next so so far so well a good uh we had

6491
04:37:16,551 --> 04:37:14,699
good we were clean during the pre-launch

6492
04:37:19,131 --> 04:37:16,561
and uh assets

6493
04:37:21,529 --> 04:37:19,141
um the teams down the hall in the mirror

6494
04:37:23,810 --> 04:37:21,539
taking a look working everything it

6495
04:37:25,490 --> 04:37:23,820
looks good so far so that's good

6496
04:37:26,810 --> 04:37:25,500
and of course you know we got the burn

6497
04:37:30,170 --> 04:37:26,820
cup

6498
04:37:31,670 --> 04:37:30,180
um after the burn we'll start we'll

6499
04:37:34,429 --> 04:37:31,680
start ticking through all of our planned

6500
04:37:37,189 --> 04:37:34,439
events um like we have a solar or the

6501
04:37:38,990 --> 04:37:37,199
the saw mobile survey solar the wings

6502
04:37:41,209 --> 04:37:39,000
will have a modal survey that we'll do

6503
04:37:43,010 --> 04:37:41,219
later this morning one of the main one

6504
04:37:46,250 --> 04:37:43,020
of the first dtos that we'll take a look

6505
04:37:49,131 --> 04:37:46,260
at and evaluate how they how they react

6506
04:37:50,689 --> 04:37:49,141
so dto designated test objective what

6507
04:37:51,949 --> 04:37:50,699
are maybe not what's another one of

6508
04:37:54,830 --> 04:37:51,959
those that we'll be looking at over the

6509
04:37:57,650 --> 04:37:54,840
next 26 days oh we have probably a good

6510
04:38:00,590 --> 04:37:57,660
hundred of them uh the you know

6511
04:38:03,949 --> 04:38:00,600
culminate from everything from like the

6512
04:38:07,551 --> 04:38:03,959
modal survey to how the um the the

6513
04:38:10,789 --> 04:38:07,561
cooling system uh behaves common track

6514
04:38:12,349 --> 04:38:10,799
system on Entry day one of our major

6515
04:38:15,109 --> 04:38:12,359
test objectives is looking at how the

6516
04:38:16,990 --> 04:38:15,119
heat shield and the uh how it handles

6517
04:38:20,390 --> 04:38:17,000
entry Heating

6518
04:38:22,010 --> 04:38:20,400
so how does it feel to be here today and

6519
04:38:25,670 --> 04:38:22,020
see the future of human space

6520
04:38:26,689 --> 04:38:25,680
exploration unfold that's great

6521
04:38:28,310 --> 04:38:26,699
um I was

6522
04:38:29,810 --> 04:38:28,320
I was doing my

6523
04:38:31,310 --> 04:38:29,820
doing my shift in the mirror earlier

6524
04:38:34,250 --> 04:38:31,320
today

6525
04:38:36,650 --> 04:38:34,260
um haven't slept the the emotion and the

6526
04:38:39,230 --> 04:38:36,660
the adrenaline's got me going it's great

6527
04:38:41,631 --> 04:38:39,240
to be a part of this it was great

6528
04:38:44,150 --> 04:38:41,641
watching you're like watching the KSC

6529
04:38:46,010 --> 04:38:44,160
team execute and now it's this is day

6530
04:38:48,349 --> 04:38:46,020
one for us you know we've got 26 days

6531
04:38:51,410 --> 04:38:48,359
for our team to execute now and uh and

6532
04:38:54,410 --> 04:38:51,420
we'll go do our job and you know set the

6533
04:38:56,330 --> 04:38:54,420
stage for future Artemis uh exploration

6534
04:38:57,830 --> 04:38:56,340
and we're excited we're going to be here

6535
04:39:00,590 --> 04:38:57,840
along the way for all those major

6536
04:39:01,849 --> 04:39:00,600
Milestones Burns uh all the other

6537
04:39:03,349 --> 04:39:01,859
exciting events that we are looking

6538
04:39:04,970 --> 04:39:03,359
forward to so thank you so much for

6539
04:39:07,369 --> 04:39:04,980
joining us here

6540
04:39:09,709 --> 04:39:07,379
um we are really excited a big congrats

6541
04:39:11,150 --> 04:39:09,719
to you and your team thanks let's go

6542
04:39:14,390 --> 04:39:11,160
have good burn and let's go to the Moon

6543
04:39:16,010 --> 04:39:14,400
let's do it we are now uh less than five

6544
04:39:17,750 --> 04:39:16,020
minutes away from the trans lunar

6545
04:39:19,730 --> 04:39:17,760
injection burn again this is the burn

6546
04:39:23,390 --> 04:39:19,740
that's going to send us around them

6547
04:39:25,310 --> 04:39:23,400
gonna commit us to a lunar trajectory it

6548
04:39:27,650 --> 04:39:25,320
is approximately an 18 minute burn it's

6549
04:40:07,070 --> 04:39:27,660
a firing of that rl-10 engine on the

6550
04:40:10,610 --> 04:40:09,288
you've got a view here of the white

6551
04:40:12,470 --> 04:40:10,620
flight control room in Mission Control

6552
04:40:14,030 --> 04:40:12,480
Houston this is where all of the teams

6553
04:40:16,910 --> 04:40:14,040
will be monitoring the mission over the

6554
04:40:18,470 --> 04:40:16,920
next 26 days teams monitored launched

6555
04:40:20,150 --> 04:40:18,480
tonight there are of course several

6556
04:40:36,550 --> 04:40:20,160
different shifts that will be working

6557
04:40:40,730 --> 04:40:39,050
all right we are coming up now on about

6558
04:40:43,430 --> 04:40:40,740
three minutes until the translunar

6559
04:40:45,350 --> 04:40:43,440
injection burn

6560
04:40:47,930 --> 04:40:45,360
again this is about an 18 minute long

6561
04:40:49,788 --> 04:40:47,940
burn firing of the rl-10 engine on the

6562
04:40:53,390 --> 04:40:49,798
interim cryogenic propulsion stage

6563
04:40:55,610 --> 04:40:53,400
commits us to uh lunar trajectory it

6564
04:41:03,708 --> 04:40:55,620
helps us break free from the

6565
04:41:07,430 --> 04:41:05,750
in case you missed it in June of this

6566
04:41:08,750 --> 04:41:07,440
year we launched Capstone a small

6567
04:41:12,470 --> 04:41:08,760
satellite launched from New Zealand

6568
04:41:14,208 --> 04:41:12,480
designated to designed to test a unique

6569
04:41:16,310 --> 04:41:14,218
lunar orbit for our future space station

6570
04:41:18,350 --> 04:41:16,320
around the Moon called Gateway and just

6571
04:41:20,690 --> 04:41:18,360
two days ago Capstone arrived at its

6572
04:41:22,070 --> 04:41:20,700
intended orbit around the moon so we're

6573
04:41:24,170 --> 04:41:22,080
very excited for that Milestone it

6574
04:41:57,288 --> 04:41:24,180
really helps pave the way for our future

6575
04:42:02,810 --> 04:42:00,830
we are now 1 hour 20 coming up on 25

6576
04:42:05,990 --> 04:42:02,820
minutes since liftoff from Kennedy Space

6577
04:42:07,970 --> 04:42:06,000
Center today at 1 47 a.m eastern time we

6578
04:42:11,270 --> 04:42:07,980
had a really smooth ride to orbit we saw

6579
04:42:12,948 --> 04:42:11,280
solar we saw solid rocket booster

6580
04:42:14,990 --> 04:42:12,958
jettison as well as launch abort system

6581
04:42:16,550 --> 04:42:15,000
jettison eventually we had core stage

6582
04:42:18,350 --> 04:42:16,560
separation which put us in the

6583
04:42:20,510 --> 04:42:18,360
configuration that we have now with

6584
04:42:23,330 --> 04:42:20,520
Orion connected to the interim cryogenic

6585
04:42:24,770 --> 04:42:23,340
propulsion stage and flying free the

6586
04:42:26,810 --> 04:42:24,780
solar arrays deployed and have been

6587
04:42:29,390 --> 04:42:26,820
swept back in preparation for the

6588
04:42:31,310 --> 04:42:29,400
translunar injection burn earlier we had

6589
04:42:33,110 --> 04:42:31,320
the perigee Rays maneuver which lift to

6590
04:42:34,850 --> 04:42:33,120
the lowest part of Orion's orbit around

6591
04:42:36,590 --> 04:42:34,860
the Earth put us in this perfect

6592
04:42:39,050 --> 04:42:36,600
positioning ahead of translunar

6593
04:42:40,730 --> 04:42:39,060
injection burn a good shot here of our

6594
04:42:43,070 --> 04:42:40,740
two flight controllers on the left you

6595
04:42:44,868 --> 04:42:43,080
saw Judd freeling he is the ascent

6596
04:42:46,788 --> 04:42:44,878
flight controller he's been with his

6597
04:42:48,890 --> 04:42:46,798
team here for the last several hours and

6598
04:42:51,110 --> 04:42:48,900
to his right is Rick labrode he's the

6599
04:42:53,208 --> 04:42:51,120
lead flight controller for a majority of

6600
04:42:55,610 --> 04:42:53,218
the rest of the mission Judd's team will

6601
04:42:59,330 --> 04:42:55,620
take over again once we get back into

6602
04:43:10,090 --> 04:43:01,310
we're now less than a minute away from

6603
04:43:21,410 --> 04:43:12,288
and this is a live view from the

6604
04:43:25,430 --> 04:43:23,810
Australia towards the Pacific Ocean this

6605
04:43:27,350 --> 04:43:25,440
translunar injection burn will begin to

6606
04:43:29,270 --> 04:43:27,360
take it away from the earth breaking it

6607
04:43:30,770 --> 04:43:29,280
free from the pull of gravity we're

6608
04:43:34,368 --> 04:43:30,780
standing by for confirmation that the

6609
04:43:37,910 --> 04:43:36,288
we have confirmation from the booster

6610
04:43:40,070 --> 04:43:37,920
officer that the translunar injection

6611
04:43:41,570 --> 04:43:40,080
burn has begun and that we are at

6612
04:43:43,550 --> 04:43:41,580
maximum thrust

6613
04:43:46,490 --> 04:43:43,560
again this is a long burn about 18

6614
04:43:49,430 --> 04:43:46,500
minutes 1960s and it's a proven reliable

6615
04:43:51,590 --> 04:43:49,440
engine this single engine has 25

6616
04:43:53,690 --> 04:43:51,600
000 pounds of thrust we've already seen

6617
04:43:56,510 --> 04:43:53,700
the icps in action today as it powered

6618
04:43:58,850 --> 04:43:56,520
the parity the sunset

6619
04:44:01,550 --> 04:43:58,860
of the Earth this is the closest Orion

6620
04:44:04,010 --> 04:44:01,560
will be to the Earth until it begins its

6621
04:44:05,810 --> 04:44:04,020
return home from the Moon I'm going to

6622
04:44:08,270 --> 04:44:05,820
keep reporting that number and by the

6623
04:44:11,090 --> 04:44:08,280
end of the trim gravity

6624
04:44:12,110 --> 04:44:11,100
now traveling at 17 000 Sage there are

6625
04:44:14,150 --> 04:44:12,120
other Burns that'll take place

6626
04:44:15,830 --> 04:44:14,160
throughout the mission to direct Orion

6627
04:44:17,810 --> 04:44:15,840
exactly where we want it to PS separate

6628
04:44:25,970 --> 04:44:17,820
so be conducted by using the single main

6629
04:44:31,490 --> 04:44:28,368
coming up on two and a half minutes into

6630
04:44:34,070 --> 04:44:31,500
the trans lunar injection burn and we're

6631
04:44:36,050 --> 04:44:34,080
now traveling over 18 000 miles per hour

6632
04:44:38,270 --> 04:44:36,060
again that speed is going to increase as

6633
04:44:42,708 --> 04:44:38,280
well this is really going to push Orion

6634
04:44:45,708 --> 04:44:42,718
toward the moon and we are now 252 400

6635
04:44:47,448 --> 04:44:45,718
miles away from the Moon

6636
04:44:49,250 --> 04:44:47,458
and they include the lunar Ice Cube

6637
04:44:51,288 --> 04:44:49,260
developed by Morehead State University

6638
04:44:52,670 --> 04:44:51,298
in Kentucky this will search for all

6639
04:44:55,430 --> 04:44:52,680
forms of water with an infrared

6640
04:44:57,350 --> 04:44:55,440
spectrometer Luna map from Arizona State

6641
04:44:59,448 --> 04:44:57,360
University will create higher Fidelity

6642
04:45:01,490 --> 04:44:59,458
maps of near-service hydrogen in craters

6643
04:45:03,050 --> 04:45:01,500
and other permanently Shadow study the

6644
04:45:05,390 --> 04:45:03,060

04:45:07,670 --> 04:45:05,400
and lunar by Lockheed Martin in Colorado

6646
04:45:11,990 --> 04:45:07,680
will perform Advanced infrared Imaging

6647
04:45:15,230 --> 04:45:13,730
now three and a half minutes into the

6648
04:45:18,128 --> 04:45:15,240
translator injection burn again it's

6649
04:45:22,910 --> 04:45:18,138
about an 18 minute burn traveling 18

6650
04:45:26,270 --> 04:45:24,230
quiet on the loops here in mission

6651
04:45:28,128 --> 04:45:26,280
control as the rl-10 engine continues

6652
04:45:32,110 --> 04:45:28,138
doing its job on the interim cryogenic

6653
04:45:36,470 --> 04:45:34,788
we talked about a few of our cubesats we

6654
04:45:38,690 --> 04:45:36,480
also have one preparing to study an

6655
04:45:40,670 --> 04:45:38,700
asteroid the near-earth asteroid Scout

6656
04:45:42,890 --> 04:45:40,680
or nia Scout by Marshall space flight

6657
04:45:45,050 --> 04:45:42,900
center in Alabama will travel by solar

6658
04:45:46,128 --> 04:45:45,060
sail to a near-earth asteroid to take

6659
04:45:48,470 --> 04:45:46,138
pictures of and make other

6660
04:45:50,330 --> 04:45:48,480
characterizations of its surface

6661
04:45:52,070 --> 04:45:50,340
there's a cubesat on board studying

6662
04:45:54,490 --> 04:45:52,080
earth called equilius by the University

6663
04:45:57,110 --> 04:45:54,500
of Tokyo along with jaxa in Japan

6664
04:45:59,448 --> 04:45:57,120
aquilius stands for equilibrium lunar

6665
04:46:01,490 --> 04:45:59,458
Earth 0.6u spacecraft and will travel to

6666
04:46:03,110 --> 04:46:01,500
LaGrange Point 2 Imaging Earth's

6667
04:46:17,470 --> 04:46:03,120
plasmosphere for a better understanding

6668
04:46:22,070 --> 04:46:20,090
we're now coming up on 4 minutes and 45

6669
04:46:24,850 --> 04:46:22,080
seconds into the translunar injection

6670
04:46:28,610 --> 04:46:24,860
burn Orion traveling at 18

6671
04:46:38,990 --> 04:46:31,190
our distance from the Moon continues to

6672
04:46:42,590 --> 04:46:40,730
to highlight some more of our cubesats

6673
04:46:44,570 --> 04:46:42,600
on board we also have bio Sentinel

6674
04:46:46,910 --> 04:46:44,580
developed by Ames Research Center in

6675
04:46:49,310 --> 04:46:46,920
California and we'll use a single yeast

6676
04:46:51,288 --> 04:46:49,320
cell to detect measure and compare the

6677
04:46:53,330 --> 04:46:51,298
impact of deep space radiation on living

6678
04:46:57,470 --> 04:46:53,340
organisms over an extended period of

6679
04:47:02,208 --> 04:46:59,390
Argo moon was developed by the Italian

6680
04:47:03,590 --> 04:47:02,218
space agency and argotech in Italy this

6681
04:47:05,868 --> 04:47:03,600
cubesat will observe the interim

6682
04:47:08,030 --> 04:47:05,878
cryogenic propulsion stage the stage

6683
04:47:09,948 --> 04:47:08,040
that it's firing right now with its

6684
04:47:12,590 --> 04:47:09,958
Advanced Optics and software Imaging

6685
04:47:14,810 --> 04:47:12,600

6686
04:47:16,610 --> 04:47:14,820
Centennial challenge is 10 miles from

6687
04:47:18,770 --> 04:47:16,620
Florida who developed a cubesat that

6688
04:47:20,628 --> 04:47:18,780
will demonstrate propulsion using plasma

6689
04:47:23,570 --> 04:47:20,638
thrusters and will compete in NASA's

6690
04:47:25,910 --> 04:47:23,580
deep space derby

6691
04:47:27,650 --> 04:47:25,920
these cubesats pack a ton of tech and

6692
04:47:29,930 --> 04:47:27,660
Science in a tiny package so they don't

6693
04:47:31,490 --> 04:47:29,940
all have redundant systems and if any of

6694
04:47:33,470 --> 04:47:31,500
the cubesats missions don't go as

6695
04:47:35,690 --> 04:47:33,480
planned it does not affect our primary

6696
04:47:37,610 --> 04:47:35,700
objectives of Orion's Mission this ride

6697
04:47:39,590 --> 04:47:37,620
share opportunity is a rare chance to

6698
04:47:41,330 --> 04:47:39,600
send cubesats belong Beyond low earth

6699
04:47:44,090 --> 04:47:41,340
orbit and we're looking forward to

6700
04:47:47,990 --> 04:47:45,650
we're now six minutes into the

6701
04:47:51,288 --> 04:47:48,000
translunar injection burn Orion

6702
04:47:53,030 --> 04:47:51,298
traveling at 19 500 miles per hour being

6703
04:47:54,770 --> 04:47:53,040
propelled by the interim cryogenic

6704
04:47:56,628 --> 04:47:54,780
propulsion stage

6705
04:47:58,368 --> 04:47:56,638
still quiet here on the loops in Mission

6706
04:48:00,050 --> 04:47:58,378
Control Houston teams are tracking no

6707
04:48:02,270 --> 04:48:00,060
issues during the trans lunar injection

6708
04:48:06,410 --> 04:48:02,280
burn

6709
04:48:26,750 --> 04:48:06,420
we have approximately 11 and a half

6710
04:48:31,490 --> 04:48:29,510
it's also been one hour and 33 minutes

6711
04:48:34,310 --> 04:48:31,500
since liftoff today from Kennedy Space

6712
04:48:36,890 --> 04:48:34,320
Center that was a 1 47 a.m Eastern Time

6713
04:48:39,350 --> 04:48:36,900
launch

6714
04:48:41,270 --> 04:48:39,360
a smooth ride uphill as we heard from

6715
04:48:44,510 --> 04:48:41,280
Bruce tiller and Johnny Heflin working

6716
04:48:45,948 --> 04:48:44,520
with SLS at Marshall space flight center

6717
04:48:48,830 --> 04:48:45,958
and this view from Mission Control

6718
04:48:50,570 --> 04:48:48,840
Houston team's continuing to monitor the

6719
04:48:53,330 --> 04:48:50,580
Artemis One mission this is where they

6720
04:48:55,250 --> 04:48:53,340
will be around the clock for the next 26

6721
04:49:01,010 --> 04:48:55,260
days all the way until we bring Orion

6722
04:49:05,208 --> 04:49:02,570
coming up on seven and a half minutes

6723
04:49:09,948 --> 04:49:05,218
until into the translunar injection burn

6724
04:49:16,610 --> 04:49:12,470
Orion now traveling at almost 20 000

6725
04:49:18,830 --> 04:49:16,620
miles per hour 251 237 miles away from

6726
04:49:25,610 --> 04:49:18,840
the Moon again that number continuing to

6727
04:49:31,610 --> 04:49:28,970
Orion itself is still over Earth

6728
04:49:50,690 --> 04:49:31,620
it is over the Pacific Ocean South of

6729
04:49:54,110 --> 04:49:52,490
as we've mentioned in today's coverage

6730
04:49:56,208 --> 04:49:54,120
multiple countries are represented in

6731
04:49:58,310 --> 04:49:56,218
Artemis 1 through the SLS Orion and

6732
04:50:00,590 --> 04:49:58,320
European service module as well as the

6733
04:50:01,788 --> 04:50:00,600
payloads riding along while NASA is

6734
04:50:03,530 --> 04:50:01,798
leading the Artemis Missions

6735
04:50:05,150 --> 04:50:03,540
International Partnerships will play a

6736
04:50:07,128 --> 04:50:05,160
key role in achieving a sustainable

6737
04:50:10,430 --> 04:50:07,138
presence on the moon while preparing to

6738
04:50:12,110 --> 04:50:10,440
send humans to Mars in 2021 over a dozen

6739
04:50:13,970 --> 04:50:12,120
countries signed the Artemis Accords

6740
04:50:15,650 --> 04:50:13,980
which will establish a common set of

6741
04:50:17,990 --> 04:50:15,660
principles to govern the Civil

6742
04:50:19,610 --> 04:50:18,000
exploration and use of outer space the

6743
04:50:21,590 --> 04:50:19,620
Artemis Accords will create a safe

6744
04:50:23,150 --> 04:50:21,600
transparent environment that facilitates

6745
04:50:25,610 --> 04:50:23,160
exploration science and Commercial

6746
04:50:27,230 --> 04:50:25,620
activities for all of humanity this

6747
04:50:29,208 --> 04:50:27,240
cooperation not only furthers space

6748
04:50:47,890 --> 04:50:29,218
exploration but also enhances peaceful

6749
04:50:52,550 --> 04:50:50,510
we're now over nine minutes into the

6750
04:50:54,230 --> 04:50:52,560
translunar injection burn and 18 minute

6751
04:50:56,150 --> 04:50:54,240
burn so we have

6752
04:50:57,948 --> 04:50:56,160
about nine minutes left we're about

6753
04:51:04,550 --> 04:50:57,958
halfway through the rl-10 engine

6754
04:51:09,190 --> 04:51:06,948
Orion traveling attached to the interim

6755
04:51:49,730 --> 04:51:09,200
cryogenic propulsion stage now over 20

6756
04:51:55,850 --> 04:51:53,390
it's been one hour and 37 minutes since

6757
04:51:57,470 --> 04:51:55,860
we launched today again that was 1 47

6758
04:51:59,930 --> 04:51:57,480
a.m eastern time from Kennedy Space

6759
04:52:01,910 --> 04:51:59,940
Center Orion is still attached to the

6760
04:52:03,948 --> 04:52:01,920
interim cryogenic propulsion stage this

6761
04:52:05,448 --> 04:52:03,958
is the last burn for the interim

6762
04:52:08,030 --> 04:52:05,458
cryogenic propulsion stage while

6763
04:52:19,090 --> 04:52:08,040
attached to Orion it will also have a

6764
04:52:25,310 --> 04:52:22,970
about 10 minutes after we have icps cut

6765
04:52:28,070 --> 04:52:25,320
off Orion will separate from the interim

6766
04:52:29,930 --> 04:52:28,080
cryogenic propulsion stage itself and

6767
04:52:34,910 --> 04:52:29,940
the capsule will be flying free still

6768
04:52:38,750 --> 04:52:36,650
we've got about seven minutes left in

6769
04:52:41,330 --> 04:52:38,760
the translunar injection burn Orion

6770
04:53:23,590 --> 04:52:41,340
traveling now at over 21 000 miles per

6771
04:53:29,208 --> 04:53:27,410
the rl-10 engine continues to fire on

6772
04:53:31,430 --> 04:53:29,218
the interim cryogenic propulsion stage

6773
04:53:33,410 --> 04:53:31,440
powering the translunar injection burn

6774
04:53:37,010 --> 04:53:33,420
this is the second firing of the trans

6775
04:53:38,628 --> 04:53:37,020
or of the icps today the first we saw

6776
04:53:40,610 --> 04:53:38,638
was the perigee Rays maneuver which

6777
04:53:42,288 --> 04:53:40,620
lifted the lowest point of Orion's orbit

6778
04:53:44,930 --> 04:53:42,298
around the Earth and put it in the

6779
04:53:49,250 --> 04:53:44,940
proper positioning for this burn this is

6780
04:53:54,590 --> 04:53:52,368
we're now over 12 minutes into this burn

6781
04:53:57,288 --> 04:53:54,600
again it's about an 18 minute burn so

6782
04:54:00,170 --> 04:53:57,298
less than six minutes left and one hour

6783
04:54:03,110 --> 04:54:00,180
39 minutes since we launched Orion and

6784
04:54:05,390 --> 04:54:03,120
the icps now traveling at over 21 400

6785
04:54:07,850 --> 04:54:05,400
miles per hour and as I promised we

6786
04:54:56,150 --> 04:54:07,860
continue to grow closer to the moon now

6787
04:55:01,730 --> 04:54:59,150
now over 13 minutes into the translunar

6788
04:55:04,250 --> 04:55:01,740
injection burn putting us less than five

6789
04:55:06,288 --> 04:55:04,260
minutes away from cut off we have had a

6790
04:55:10,128 --> 04:55:06,298
nominal burn so far that rl-10 engine

6791
04:55:12,350 --> 04:55:10,138
continues to fire at maximum thrust 25

6792
04:55:19,550 --> 04:55:12,360
000 pounds of thrust we're now traveling

6793
04:55:19,560 --> 04:55:32,150
foreign

6794
04:55:37,010 --> 04:55:34,190
and we've just heard the call for

6795
04:55:39,770 --> 04:55:37,020
Priority One meaning we have reached the

6796
04:55:42,530 --> 04:55:39,780
point at which we could return at lunar

6797
04:55:44,330 --> 04:55:42,540
return or similar speeds testing the

6798
04:55:49,610 --> 04:55:44,340
heat shield as required ahead of flight

6799
04:55:53,330 --> 04:55:51,770
now over 14 minutes under the tree of

6800
04:55:55,970 --> 04:55:53,340
lunar injection burn less than four

6801
04:56:41,330 --> 04:55:55,980
minutes until cut off traveling now at

6802
04:56:45,530 --> 04:56:43,610
now less than three minutes away from

6803
04:56:47,868 --> 04:56:45,540
cut off of the interim cryogenic

6804
04:56:50,330 --> 04:56:47,878
propulsion stage and coming up on one

6805
04:56:53,150 --> 04:56:50,340
hour and 42 minutes into the Artemis One

6806
04:56:54,890 --> 04:56:53,160
mission the rl-10 engine on the interim

6807
04:56:57,410 --> 04:56:54,900
cryogenic propulsion stage continues to

6808
04:56:59,448 --> 04:56:57,420
fire as planned at maximum thrust again

6809
04:57:02,570 --> 04:56:59,458
this is about an 18 minute burn that's

6810
04:57:04,850 --> 04:57:02,580
about twice as long as the ride to orbit

6811
04:57:07,430 --> 04:57:04,860
today so that just shows how much power

6812
04:57:31,690 --> 04:57:07,440
we need to break free from the pull of

6813
04:57:37,010 --> 04:57:34,788
16 minutes now into the translunar

6814
04:57:38,708 --> 04:57:37,020
injection burn Orion traveling at over

6815
04:58:01,690 --> 04:57:38,718
22

6816
04:58:06,350 --> 04:58:04,430
about a minute and a half now until cut

6817
04:58:08,810 --> 04:58:06,360
off of the nrm cryogenic propulsion

6818
04:58:13,430 --> 04:58:08,820
stage again this being an 18 minute burn

6819
04:58:15,610 --> 04:58:13,440
we are now 248 280 miles away from the

6820
04:58:18,650 --> 04:58:15,620
Moon and continuing to grow closer

6821
04:58:53,390 --> 04:58:18,660
605 miles away from Earth and continuing

6822
04:58:58,070 --> 04:58:56,330
less than a minute now until cutoff of

6823
04:59:00,050 --> 04:58:58,080
the icps

6824
04:59:02,628 --> 04:59:00,060
and the end of the translunar injection

6825
04:59:08,090 --> 04:59:02,638
burn we've had a good burn all the way

6826
05:00:01,190 --> 04:59:10,550
and one hour 44 minutes since launch

6827
05:00:05,750 --> 05:00:03,530
and we have cut off of the interim

6828
05:00:07,788 --> 05:00:05,760
cryogenic propulsion stage which has

6829
05:00:16,810 --> 05:00:07,798
committed Orion to the trans lunar

6830
05:00:22,810 --> 05:00:20,448
Orion is now traveling at 22 500 miles

6831
05:00:26,750 --> 05:00:22,820
per hour 247

6832
05:00:28,610 --> 05:00:26,760
450 miles away from Earth

6833
05:00:30,410 --> 05:00:28,620
now that the interim cryogenic

6834
05:00:32,628 --> 05:00:30,420
propulsion stage has completed its

6835
05:00:34,670 --> 05:00:32,638
translunar injection burn it is no

6836
05:00:36,410 --> 05:00:34,680
longer needed to propel us to the moon

6837
05:00:39,530 --> 05:00:36,420
it's done its job and it will separate

6838
05:00:41,448 --> 05:00:39,540
from Orion after it separates those 10

6839
05:00:43,310 --> 05:00:41,458
cubesats we discussed will be deployed

6840
05:00:45,410 --> 05:00:43,320
from the Orion stage adapter which is

6841
05:00:48,350 --> 05:00:45,420
below the service module and above the

6842
05:00:49,850 --> 05:00:48,360
icps each payload will be ejected with a

6843
05:00:52,550 --> 05:00:49,860
spring mechanism from dispensers

6844
05:00:54,170 --> 05:00:52,560
installed on the Orion stage adapter and

6845
05:00:56,330 --> 05:00:54,180
again these will help us study the moon

6846
05:00:58,550 --> 05:00:56,340
and space weather test Innovative

6847
05:01:00,650 --> 05:00:58,560
propulsion Technologies analyze the

6848
05:01:02,930 --> 05:01:00,660
effects of radiation on organisms and

6849
05:01:05,890 --> 05:01:02,940
provide high resolution imagery of the

6850
05:01:08,208 --> 05:01:05,900
Earth and Moon the cubesat deploys will

6851
05:01:11,030 --> 05:01:08,218
start just short of about four hours

6852
05:01:13,368 --> 05:01:11,040
after launch once those cubesats are

6853
05:01:16,128 --> 05:01:13,378
deployed the icps will be on track for

6854
05:01:17,628 --> 05:01:16,138
disposal in a heliocentric orbit meaning

6855
05:01:31,190 --> 05:01:17,638
it will closely Circle the sun until

6856
05:01:31,200 --> 05:01:38,868
foreign

6857
05:01:43,070 --> 05:01:40,788
the next change we'll see is for the

6858
05:01:44,270 --> 05:01:43,080
icps to separate from Orion and the

6859
05:01:46,670 --> 05:01:44,280
service module those will continue

6860
05:02:20,530 --> 05:01:46,680
flying free on their journey toward the

6861
05:02:27,590 --> 05:02:24,170
it's now been an hour 47 minutes and 30

6862
05:02:30,970 --> 05:02:27,600
seconds into the First Flight of the

6863
05:02:35,650 --> 05:02:30,980
Artemis program Orion now traveling 21

6864
05:02:35,660 --> 05:02:44,270
1129 miles away from Earth

6865
05:02:49,970 --> 05:02:46,970
that stage separation from the interim

6866
05:02:52,310 --> 05:02:49,980
cryogenic propulsion stage again should

6867
05:02:53,628 --> 05:02:52,320
be about 10 minutes after the translunar

6868
05:02:55,690 --> 05:02:53,638
injection burn is complete so

6869
05:02:59,030 --> 05:02:55,700
approximately seven minutes from now

6870
05:03:00,708 --> 05:02:59,040
shortly after icps separation Orion's

6871
05:03:02,628 --> 05:03:00,718
service module will fire its auxiliary

6872
05:03:04,788 --> 05:03:02,638
thrusters to move the spacecraft a safe

6873
05:03:07,128 --> 05:03:04,798
distance away from the extended stage

6874
05:03:08,930 --> 05:03:07,138
Orion continues on an outbound path to

6875
05:03:10,490 --> 05:03:08,940
the moon and the Ryan stage adapter

6876
05:03:12,170 --> 05:03:10,500
attached to the interim cryogenic

6877
05:06:00,170 --> 05:03:12,180
propulsion stage will deliver several

6878
05:06:06,770 --> 05:06:03,948
we're now over 1 hour 51 minutes since

6879
05:06:08,570 --> 05:06:06,780
launch today from these uh Kennedy Space

6880
05:06:11,150 --> 05:06:08,580
Center in Florida

6881
05:06:12,830 --> 05:06:11,160
Orion is traveling attached to the

6882
05:06:14,628 --> 05:06:12,840
interim cryogenic propulsion stage but

6883
05:06:16,190 --> 05:06:14,638
not for much longer we look for that

6884
05:06:18,410 --> 05:06:16,200
separation to happen in about five

6885
05:06:20,090 --> 05:06:18,420
minutes at that point Orion will still

6886
05:06:21,890 --> 05:06:20,100
be flying attached to the service module

6887
05:06:23,690 --> 05:06:21,900
and in this animation you can see the

6888
05:06:25,850 --> 05:06:23,700
service module directly below the

6889
05:06:31,430 --> 05:06:25,860
capsule those solar array wings are

6890
05:06:35,150 --> 05:06:33,350
the spacecraft now traveling over twenty

6891
05:06:36,650 --> 05:06:35,160
thousand five hundred and seventy miles

6892
05:06:39,830 --> 05:06:36,660
per hour

6893
05:06:41,590 --> 05:06:39,840
continuing to increase its distance from

6894
05:06:44,810 --> 05:06:41,600
Earth now over

6895
05:06:48,430 --> 05:06:44,820
1780 miles away continuing to decrease

6896
05:08:46,628 --> 05:06:48,440
its distance from the Moon 245

6897
05:08:50,270 --> 05:08:48,890
hearing confirmation from teams here in

6898
05:08:52,010 --> 05:08:50,280
Mission Control Houston that the solar

6899
05:08:54,470 --> 05:08:52,020
arrays are in their proper configuration

6900
05:08:56,810 --> 05:08:54,480
for interim cryogenic propulsion stage

6901
05:08:59,030 --> 05:08:56,820
separation again we just saw the trans

6902
05:09:01,610 --> 05:08:59,040
lunar injection burn a successful

6903
05:09:03,650 --> 05:09:01,620
approximately 18 minute burn that has

6904
05:09:05,208 --> 05:09:03,660
helped Orion break free from the pull of

6905
05:09:07,250 --> 05:09:05,218
Earth's gravity and sending us toward

6906
05:09:09,708 --> 05:09:07,260
the moon we're now standing by for

6907
05:09:12,110 --> 05:09:09,718
separation from that stage now that it

6908
05:09:14,810 --> 05:09:12,120
has done its job for Orion however it

6909
05:09:17,270 --> 05:09:14,820
still has a job to do it will help eject

6910
05:09:23,930 --> 05:09:17,280
some cubesats that will help us study

6911
05:09:29,530 --> 05:09:27,230
Orion now traveling at 19 700 miles per

6912
05:09:35,030 --> 05:09:32,628
2270 miles away from Earth

6913
05:09:54,830 --> 05:09:35,040
we're expecting that stage separation to

6914
05:10:00,350 --> 05:09:57,530
as you can see we have confirmation of

6915
05:10:08,330 --> 05:10:00,360
interim cryogenic propulsion stage from

6916
05:10:11,750 --> 05:10:10,190
with the Earth in the background and the

6917
05:12:31,070 --> 05:10:11,760
Moon is our destination Artemis

6918
05:12:37,610 --> 05:12:34,850
it's been one hour 57 minutes and 40

6919
05:12:39,890 --> 05:12:37,620
seconds since Orion launched Atop The

6920
05:12:43,788 --> 05:12:39,900
SLS from Kennedy Space Center in Florida

6921
05:12:46,070 --> 05:12:43,798
at 1 47 a.m eastern time after a smooth

6922
05:12:47,750 --> 05:12:46,080
ride to orbit a parody raised maneuver

6923
05:12:49,430 --> 05:12:47,760
and a translunar injection burn

6924
05:12:51,948 --> 05:12:49,440
conducted by the interim cryogenic

6925
05:12:53,930 --> 05:12:51,958
propulsion stage Orion is now flying

6926
05:12:56,330 --> 05:12:53,940
free attached to the European service

6927
05:12:58,310 --> 05:12:56,340
module and on its Journey To The Moon

6928
05:13:00,470 --> 05:12:58,320
that might be the end of today's

6929
05:13:02,570 --> 05:13:00,480
broadcast but the Artemis 1 Mission has

6930
05:13:04,550 --> 05:13:02,580
