thank you to Space 61 00:05:18,950 --> 00:05:16,259 Center Houston for hosting this event 62 00:05:20,990 --> 00:05:18,960 today it's really great to be here with 63 00:05:23,689 --> 00:05:21,000 Axiom for this event Mike 64 00:05:25,850 --> 00:05:23,699 you know when I look back on the Apollo 65 00:05:29,150 --> 00:05:25,860 program when all of us look back we look 66 00:05:31,310 --> 00:05:29,160 at those iconic images of the technology 67 00:05:33,710 --> 00:05:31,320 that enabled the astronauts to make 68 00:05:34,909 --> 00:05:33,720 those first steps on the moon their 69 00:05:38,390 --> 00:05:34,919 space suit 70 00:05:40,790 --> 00:05:38,400 and now we're developing a spacesuit for 71 00:05:42,890 --> 00:05:40,800 a new generation the Artemis Generation 72 00:05:45,950 --> 00:05:42,900 The Generation that's going to take us 73 00:05:48,590 --> 00:05:45,960 back to the moon and on to Mars and it 74 00:05:51,830 --> 00:05:48,600 is going to be so exciting 75 00:05:54,529 --> 00:05:51,840 when that first woman steps down on the 76 00:05:58,370 --> 00:05:54,539 surface of the Moon on Artemis 3 she's 77 00:06:04,430 --> 00:05:58,380 going to be wearing an axiom spacesuit 78 00:06:09,230 --> 00:06:07,610 and and I can't wait to see that happen 79 00:06:11,510 --> 00:06:09,240 you know we're going back to the moon 80 00:06:13,730 --> 00:06:11,520 but we're going to the South Pole of the 81 00:06:16,610 --> 00:06:13,740 moon this time and why are we going 82 00:06:18,590 --> 00:06:16,620 there it's challenging right we're going 83 00:06:21,529 --> 00:06:18,600 to learn more there's water ice there 84 00:06:23,689 --> 00:06:21,539 water is hydrogen for fuel and oxygen to 85 00:06:25,670 --> 00:06:23,699 breathe we are going to learn how to 86 00:06:28,010 --> 00:06:25,680 operate on the moon for extended periods 87 00:06:30,050 --> 00:06:28,020 of time and learn how to operate away 88 00:06:32,390 --> 00:06:30,060 from planet Earth and utilize the 89 00:06:35,330 --> 00:06:32,400 resources on the moon and all of this is 90 00:06:38,390 --> 00:06:35,340 in preparation for eventually going on 91 00:06:41,090 --> 00:06:38,400 to Mars and we're making those first 92 00:06:43,490 --> 00:06:41,100 steps now we've got to have an Eva 93 00:06:45,830 --> 00:06:43,500 Mobility suit in order to make that 94 00:06:46,969 --> 00:06:45,840 happen and this is the suit that's going 95 00:06:49,249 --> 00:06:46,979 to do it 96 00:06:51,050 --> 00:06:49,259 you know I'm very pleased to be here uh 97 00:06:54,170 --> 00:06:51,060 at the Johnson Space Center this was 98 00:06:56,029 --> 00:06:54,180 home to me for a very long time and one 99 00:06:58,189 --> 00:06:56,039 of the Prides of the Johnson Space 100 00:07:01,610 --> 00:06:58,199 Center is the Eva surface Mobility 101 00:07:04,730 --> 00:07:01,620 Program that's here and it's my pleasure 102 00:07:06,890 --> 00:07:04,740 Now to turn this over to the director of 103 00:07:08,620 --> 00:07:06,900 the Johnson Space Center Vanessa Weiss 104 00:07:18,529 --> 00:07:08,630 Vanessa 105 00:07:18,539 --> 00:07:21,969 thank you Bob 106 00:07:28,129 --> 00:07:25,189 so at NASA's Johnson Space Center we're 107 00:07:31,790 --> 00:07:28,139 just so super proud to be able to 108 00:07:35,409 --> 00:07:31,800 continue the legacy of doing space walks 109 00:07:48,290 --> 00:07:35,419 as Bob mentioned from Apollo Heritage 110 00:07:50,830 --> 00:07:49,969 assembly of the International Space 111 00:07:53,450 --> 00:07:50,840 Station 112 00:07:56,089 --> 00:07:53,460 and operations and maintenance that's 113 00:07:59,930 --> 00:07:56,099 ongoing and now we're looking forward 114 00:08:03,710 --> 00:07:59,940 for our return to the moon and using our 115 00:08:06,350 --> 00:08:03,720 suits for doing science operations on 116 00:08:07,969 --> 00:08:06,360 the lunar surface at Johnson Space 117 00:08:11,330 --> 00:08:07,979 Center we have been working doing 118 00:08:14,390 --> 00:08:11,340 technology development in-house with our 119 00:08:18,230 --> 00:08:14,400 engineers and our operators on design 120 00:08:20,510 --> 00:08:18,240 for an exploration suit we have provided 121 00:08:22,309 --> 00:08:20,520 all of that technology all of the 122 00:08:25,909 --> 00:08:22,319 drawings all of the data all of the test 123 00:08:28,249 --> 00:08:25,919 results for the community and Axiom 124 00:08:30,110 --> 00:08:28,259 space will be one of the companies that 125 00:08:33,589 --> 00:08:30,120 is going to take that and make us new 126 00:08:35,630 --> 00:08:33,599 suits we have not had a new suit since 127 00:08:38,149 --> 00:08:35,640 the suits that we designed for the space 128 00:08:41,029 --> 00:08:38,159 shuttle and those suits are currently in 129 00:08:43,850 --> 00:08:41,039 use on the space station so 40 years 130 00:08:47,990 --> 00:08:43,860 we've been using the same suit based on 131 00:08:49,850 --> 00:08:48,000 that technology and now today Axiom is 132 00:08:52,850 --> 00:08:49,860 going to to innovate they're going to 133 00:08:55,370 --> 00:08:52,860 take what NASA has provided in from the 134 00:08:58,550 --> 00:08:55,380 testing that we've done and they will 135 00:09:01,370 --> 00:08:58,560 now take and come up with more 136 00:09:03,949 --> 00:09:01,380 functionality more performance more 137 00:09:07,070 --> 00:09:03,959 capability and we're very excited about 138 00:09:08,630 --> 00:09:07,080 what's going to be happening at NASA's 139 00:09:10,910 --> 00:09:08,640 Johnson Space Center we are proud to 140 00:09:12,889 --> 00:09:10,920 partner we will be working together 141 00:09:15,290 --> 00:09:12,899 we'll provide our expertise we're going 142 00:09:17,030 --> 00:09:15,300 to provide all of our facilities and we 143 00:09:20,090 --> 00:09:17,040 will be working together to make sure 144 00:09:22,490 --> 00:09:20,100 that we have a safe suit that performs 145 00:09:25,790 --> 00:09:22,500 and does everything that our astronauts 146 00:09:27,889 --> 00:09:25,800 need for doing surface operations so 147 00:09:30,230 --> 00:09:27,899 we're looking forward to the things that 148 00:09:32,530 --> 00:09:30,240 Axiom is doing and I want to thank the 149 00:09:35,030 --> 00:09:32,540 Axiom team I want to thank the NASA and 150 00:09:43,009 --> 00:09:35,040 all of our teams that work together to 151 00:09:46,190 --> 00:09:44,630 and now I'm going to turn it over to 152 00:09:49,130 --> 00:09:46,200 Laura 153 00:09:51,889 --> 00:09:49,140 hi good morning uh glad to be here and 154 00:09:54,650 --> 00:09:51,899 to see you guys today I am truly honored 155 00:09:56,389 --> 00:09:54,660 to be uh the manager of what Vanessa 156 00:09:58,190 --> 00:09:56,399 mentioned is the Eva and Human Service 157 00:10:00,949 --> 00:09:58,200 Mobility Program here at Johnson Space 158 00:10:02,509 --> 00:10:00,959 Center that for short means spacesuits 159 00:10:04,370 --> 00:10:02,519 and Rovers 160 00:10:06,410 --> 00:10:04,380 um the spacesuits are the first part of 161 00:10:08,329 --> 00:10:06,420 our program that is becoming real we've 162 00:10:12,050 --> 00:10:08,339 been working really hard for a few years 163 00:10:13,850 --> 00:10:12,060 to get everything on contract but once 164 00:10:16,130 --> 00:10:13,860 that is in place and we actually have 165 00:10:18,290 --> 00:10:16,140 contractors selected it's really excited 166 00:10:20,329 --> 00:10:18,300 to see their work coming to fruition and 167 00:10:22,310 --> 00:10:20,339 seeing real Hardware 168 00:10:25,009 --> 00:10:22,320 um so this contract is a little bit 169 00:10:26,750 --> 00:10:25,019 different it's similar to what we have 170 00:10:28,970 --> 00:10:26,760 used for commercial cargo and Commercial 171 00:10:32,150 --> 00:10:28,980 crew where we call it a service contract 172 00:10:35,150 --> 00:10:32,160 so historically NASA has actually owned 173 00:10:38,269 --> 00:10:35,160 the spacesuits think of it like owning 174 00:10:40,070 --> 00:10:38,279 your car the way we have contracted on 175 00:10:42,650 --> 00:10:40,080 what we call the extra vehicular 176 00:10:45,290 --> 00:10:42,660 activity Services contract is we 177 00:10:47,870 --> 00:10:45,300 actually buy services from the vendor so 178 00:10:50,329 --> 00:10:47,880 think of it more like a rental car so 179 00:10:52,670 --> 00:10:50,339 Axiom will be providing the hardware for 180 00:10:55,069 --> 00:10:52,680 both training and for flight they will 181 00:10:57,650 --> 00:10:55,079 bring that Hardware in and we NASA will 182 00:11:01,190 --> 00:10:57,660 utilize it and operate it on the surface 183 00:11:03,769 --> 00:11:01,200 of the Moon for our moonwalking so NASA 184 00:11:07,730 --> 00:11:03,779 will actually be in the role still of 185 00:11:09,829 --> 00:11:07,740 Mission Control and making the mission 186 00:11:11,750 --> 00:11:09,839 Authority Mission execution decisions 187 00:11:15,350 --> 00:11:11,760 but axiom's going to be right there with 188 00:11:17,210 --> 00:11:15,360 us making sure that suit is as safe as 189 00:11:18,949 --> 00:11:17,220 we have our astronauts walking on the 190 00:11:21,170 --> 00:11:18,959 surface of the Moon 191 00:11:23,569 --> 00:11:21,180 so the suit we have a lot of tough 192 00:11:26,269 --> 00:11:23,579 requirements on it so these guys have 193 00:11:28,069 --> 00:11:26,279 their work cut out for them the Moon is 194 00:11:29,870 --> 00:11:28,079 definitely a hostile place and the South 195 00:11:34,670 --> 00:11:29,880 Pole is going to really be a challenge 196 00:11:38,090 --> 00:11:34,680 so a lot of thermal requirements we are 197 00:11:39,829 --> 00:11:38,100 really looking for improved Mobility so 198 00:11:41,509 --> 00:11:39,839 that our astronauts can operate more 199 00:11:44,170 --> 00:11:41,519 efficiently and effectively than they 200 00:11:46,310 --> 00:11:44,180 were able to do many years ago in Apollo 201 00:11:48,710 --> 00:11:46,320 and then of course we have really 202 00:11:51,710 --> 00:11:48,720 stringent safety requirements as Vanessa 203 00:11:53,210 --> 00:11:51,720 mentioned on the suits as well so they 204 00:11:55,069 --> 00:11:53,220 certainly have their cut work cut out 205 00:11:57,590 --> 00:11:55,079 for them but we are absolutely confident 206 00:12:01,370 --> 00:11:57,600 that they are going to be successful 207 00:12:03,170 --> 00:12:01,380 uh so our role as NASA is as Vanessa 208 00:12:05,090 --> 00:12:03,180 said to make sure that all of our 209 00:12:06,769 --> 00:12:05,100 expertise and our data and our 210 00:12:09,530 --> 00:12:06,779 facilities are made available to them 211 00:12:11,389 --> 00:12:09,540 and um then we will be in there 212 00:12:13,610 --> 00:12:11,399 um hand in hand with them helping make 213 00:12:16,310 --> 00:12:13,620 sure that they are successful bringing 214 00:12:19,069 --> 00:12:16,320 all of our knowledge to the table all of 215 00:12:21,470 --> 00:12:19,079 our experience along with our our 216 00:12:23,449 --> 00:12:21,480 friends from the crew office just 217 00:12:26,030 --> 00:12:23,459 providing them our expertise and advice 218 00:12:28,250 --> 00:12:26,040 and guidance as they go forward so super 219 00:12:31,850 --> 00:12:28,260 excited to have Mark and Russell and 220 00:12:34,490 --> 00:12:31,860 their team and really looking forward to 221 00:12:42,530 --> 00:12:34,500 a few years from now when we see that 222 00:12:46,250 --> 00:12:44,329 all right we keep forgetting to 223 00:12:49,009 --> 00:12:46,260 introduce so I think I'm going to pass 224 00:12:52,730 --> 00:12:49,019 it on to Mr Mike zefardini 225 00:12:57,170 --> 00:12:55,610 thank you uh Laura and Bob and Vanessa 226 00:12:58,610 --> 00:12:57,180 too for being here this is a big deal 227 00:13:01,850 --> 00:12:58,620 for us 228 00:13:04,850 --> 00:13:01,860 let me start by saying uh Mark when I 229 00:13:06,170 --> 00:13:04,860 look at here this sea of new astronauts 230 00:13:09,590 --> 00:13:06,180 I think we're going to need some more 231 00:13:13,790 --> 00:13:11,930 but first let me let me tell you how 232 00:13:16,430 --> 00:13:13,800 pleased we are as a company it's a it's 233 00:13:19,790 --> 00:13:16,440 a huge deal to be selected to provide 234 00:13:22,430 --> 00:13:19,800 the the lunar surface suit for NASA's 235 00:13:23,930 --> 00:13:22,440 Artemis program it's a it's an 236 00:13:26,030 --> 00:13:23,940 international program we're not just 237 00:13:28,850 --> 00:13:26,040 taking the nation to the moon and Beyond 238 00:13:31,670 --> 00:13:28,860 we're taking the the we're taking 239 00:13:33,230 --> 00:13:31,680 civilization to the moon and Beyond and 240 00:13:35,269 --> 00:13:33,240 so we're pleased that Humanity's next 241 00:13:37,069 --> 00:13:35,279 steps on the moon are going to be in an 242 00:13:39,290 --> 00:13:37,079 axiom space suit and we're very excited 243 00:13:41,350 --> 00:13:39,300 to be a part of this uh the exploration 244 00:13:44,389 --> 00:13:41,360 Mission as it goes forward 245 00:13:45,710 --> 00:13:44,399 the other thing I need to say is uh and 246 00:13:47,690 --> 00:13:45,720 they've they've touched on a little bit 247 00:13:49,730 --> 00:13:47,700 here this morning but this is not 248 00:13:52,009 --> 00:13:49,740 something that you do by yourself this 249 00:13:55,490 --> 00:13:52,019 is a partnership it's a partnership with 250 00:13:57,829 --> 00:13:55,500 NASA the design that we chose and 251 00:14:00,050 --> 00:13:57,839 brought forward is a evolvable design 252 00:14:02,810 --> 00:14:00,060 from the orbit Zoo to the lunar surface 253 00:14:04,850 --> 00:14:02,820 suit it's based on about 10 years worth 254 00:14:06,590 --> 00:14:04,860 of work that that's been going on at 255 00:14:08,449 --> 00:14:06,600 NASA Johnson Space Center by suit 256 00:14:11,150 --> 00:14:08,459 experts 257 00:14:14,269 --> 00:14:11,160 um and we're we're happy to have all of 258 00:14:15,769 --> 00:14:14,279 that expertise uh and that work done I 259 00:14:17,870 --> 00:14:15,779 think I think when it's all said and 260 00:14:20,690 --> 00:14:17,880 done about 50 of the suit will be based 261 00:14:22,370 --> 00:14:20,700 on the original design done by NASA and 262 00:14:24,590 --> 00:14:22,380 probably the other 50 will be the work 263 00:14:27,170 --> 00:14:24,600 uh that this team sitting in the 264 00:14:29,090 --> 00:14:27,180 auditorium will do so that's first and 265 00:14:31,490 --> 00:14:29,100 very very important and as Laura said 266 00:14:34,069 --> 00:14:31,500 this is a critical system it's like uh 267 00:14:36,769 --> 00:14:34,079 you know we all get nervous along lunch 268 00:14:39,110 --> 00:14:36,779 day well when you do an Eva it's it's uh 269 00:14:40,930 --> 00:14:39,120 it's a significant Challenge and so it's 270 00:14:43,610 --> 00:14:40,940 very important that you have very strict 271 00:14:46,189 --> 00:14:43,620 safety guidelines and a suit that will 272 00:14:47,689 --> 00:14:46,199 uh provide the redundancy and the 273 00:14:50,449 --> 00:14:47,699 reliability you need to make sure every 274 00:14:51,829 --> 00:14:50,459 time a human steps foot on the moon uh 275 00:14:53,990 --> 00:14:51,839 that they'll be able to do if they need 276 00:14:56,210 --> 00:14:54,000 to safely and get back and be ready for 277 00:14:58,850 --> 00:14:56,220 the next uh the next mission 278 00:15:00,590 --> 00:14:58,860 so for a second though I want to I want 279 00:15:02,870 --> 00:15:00,600 to take a moment to acknowledge the 280 00:15:04,550 --> 00:15:02,880 Axiom team which is as far as I can tell 281 00:15:06,949 --> 00:15:04,560 nobody's working on suit today because 282 00:15:08,629 --> 00:15:06,959 they're all here but could you guys 283 00:15:15,230 --> 00:15:08,639 stand up and be recognized this is the 284 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,230 you guys are awesome 285 00:15:23,990 --> 00:15:20,509 um and and when I say Axiom team it's 286 00:15:28,310 --> 00:15:24,000 not just Axiom space KBR Paragon David 287 00:15:31,069 --> 00:15:28,320 Clark uh let's see apt research sophic 288 00:15:33,470 --> 00:15:31,079 and aerosciences and technology did I 289 00:15:40,269 --> 00:15:33,480 get them all and airlock oh goodness 290 00:15:44,509 --> 00:15:42,410 all right 291 00:15:46,490 --> 00:15:44,519 sorry about that Paragon intuitive 292 00:15:49,009 --> 00:15:46,500 machines and airlock 293 00:15:50,930 --> 00:15:49,019 um anyway my point is we're a big team 294 00:15:53,210 --> 00:15:50,940 we're we've brought a lot of expertise 295 00:15:55,310 --> 00:15:53,220 from around the country to work together 296 00:15:56,870 --> 00:15:55,320 to build this suit 297 00:16:00,590 --> 00:15:56,880 um and it's a critical part of 298 00:16:03,410 --> 00:16:00,600 exploration uh and we're we're extremely 299 00:16:05,870 --> 00:16:03,420 excited and proud to been selected to uh 300 00:16:08,569 --> 00:16:05,880 to go on this journey with uh with 301 00:16:10,189 --> 00:16:08,579 NASA's it takes uh civilization belong 302 00:16:12,710 --> 00:16:10,199 Beyond low earth orbit 303 00:16:14,689 --> 00:16:12,720 so with that I think my job is to hand 304 00:16:16,069 --> 00:16:14,699 it off to Mark and we've been sitting 305 00:16:17,810 --> 00:16:16,079 here talking about all this stuff but we 306 00:16:19,970 --> 00:16:17,820 have an exciting thing to show you so a 307 00:16:22,009 --> 00:16:19,980 marker gets started down the road go 308 00:16:24,170 --> 00:16:22,019 ahead thank you Mike 309 00:16:25,970 --> 00:16:24,180 um yeah so a lot

last couple of years our team 313 00:16:35,090 --> 00:16:32,160 has been off really focused on on three 314 00:16:36,889 --> 00:16:35,100 things people processes uh and 315 00:16:39,829 --> 00:16:36,899 facilities and Equipment 316 00:16:42,590 --> 00:16:39,839 um our our team is comprised of many 317 00:16:45,069 --> 00:16:42,600 many people from the NASA xcmu program 318 00:16:47,870 --> 00:16:45,079 so they bring a lot of expertise forward 319 00:16:50,870 --> 00:16:47,880 a lot of our team has worked multiple 320 00:16:53,290 --> 00:16:50,880 Eva programs and then we leveraged 321 00:16:57,050 --> 00:16:53,300 industry automotive 322 00:16:59,110 --> 00:16:57,060 oil and gas the Theater Arts and and 323 00:17:01,030 --> 00:16:59,120 even 324 00:17:09,530 --> 00:17:01,040 design 325 00:17:13,630 --> 00:17:11,750 um no our 326 00:17:17,289 --> 00:17:13,640 sorry 327 00:17:22,010 --> 00:17:17,299 professional clothing design thank you 328 00:17:24,909 --> 00:17:22,020 so our we have a vast base of a really 329 00:17:28,429 --> 00:17:24,919 talented and experienced people 330 00:17:31,310 --> 00:17:28,439 our processes you combine all that with 331 00:17:34,490 --> 00:17:31,320 axioms Agile development process and the 332 00:17:36,430 --> 00:17:34,500 team's able to move extremely fast but 333 00:17:40,190 --> 00:17:36,440 but in a very very 334 00:17:42,710 --> 00:17:40,200 in a very uh 335 00:17:44,750 --> 00:17:42,720 in a very controlled environment which 336 00:17:46,390 --> 00:17:44,760 is critical to to building and designing 337 00:17:49,970 --> 00:17:46,400 space flight Hardware 338 00:17:52,549 --> 00:17:49,980 you couple that with using NASA's xcmu 339 00:17:54,650 --> 00:17:52,559 Technologies and and it just makes the 340 00:17:56,169 --> 00:17:54,660 team's performance even greater for for 341 00:17:59,630 --> 00:17:56,179 success 342 00:18:02,450 --> 00:17:59,640 Axiom has a number of facilities the the 343 00:18:05,270 --> 00:18:02,460 most recent facility we're about we have 344 00:18:07,909 --> 00:18:05,280 just populated or moved into is the Eva 345 00:18:09,590 --> 00:18:07,919 program facility so team is very excited 346 00:18:12,350 --> 00:18:09,600 about that we vertically integrate 347 00:18:14,330 --> 00:18:12,360 integrated all the team members and 348 00:18:16,730 --> 00:18:14,340 Axiom Under One Roof 349 00:18:18,350 --> 00:18:16,740 and we're about to open our 350 00:18:20,930 --> 00:18:18,360 state-of-the-art Labs we've been working 351 00:18:23,810 --> 00:18:20,940 in temporary space which which has been 352 00:18:26,090 --> 00:18:23,820 very accommodating but we'll have 353 00:18:28,669 --> 00:18:26,100 everything we need to design manufacture 354 00:18:32,029 --> 00:18:28,679 spacesuits for the lunar surface and for 355 00:18:33,950 --> 00:18:32,039 axiom's space station and with that I 356 00:18:35,810 --> 00:18:33,960 just want to thank the Eva team on 357 00:18:38,690 --> 00:18:35,820 behalf of Russell and I thank you so 358 00:18:40,490 --> 00:18:38,700 much for for all of your hard work we 359 00:18:44,330 --> 00:18:40,500 thank your families for standing 360 00:18:46,789 --> 00:18:44,340 standing by as as as the teams work long 361 00:18:50,750 --> 00:18:46,799 hours sometimes and we'd also like to 362 00:18:53,690 --> 00:18:50,760 thank Laura Chris Jesse Ben we 363 00:18:56,150 --> 00:18:53,700 appreciate all the collaboration with 364 00:18:58,010 --> 00:18:56,160 you and your team the insight and 365 00:19:00,289 --> 00:18:58,020 collaboration has

369 00:19:10,140 --> 00:19:30,590 I think we're going to a video now 370 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:35,390 that we're going to be a part 371 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:39,970 itioners 372 00:19:43,610 --> 00:19:42,049 and they're using their actual space 373 00:19:45,950 --> 00:19:43,620 station today but if we want to go back 374 00:19:47,510 --> 00:19:45,960 to the Moon then we need a new space too 375 00:19:50,630 --> 00:19:47,520 space new design has been really 376 00:19:53,090 --> 00:19:50,640 evolutionary for a decade and we're kind 377 00:19:55,190 --> 00:19:53,100 of taking a larger leap we are changing 378 00:19:57,350 --> 00:19:55,200 it so it's dust tolerant so that it can 379 00:19:59,150 --> 00:19:57,360 walk far distances that you can help 380 00:20:01,010 --> 00:19:59,160 with your fellow crew member is 381 00:20:03,529 --> 00:20:01,020 incapacity and the ability to bring them 382 00:20:05,690 --> 00:20:03,539 back with you so all these updates for 383 00:20:07,730 --> 00:20:05,700 more of a revolution than an evolution 384 00:20:09,950 --> 00:20:07,740 of the different design but I'm excited 385 00:20:12,590 --> 00:20:09,960 by some of the really new developments 386 00:20:14,930 --> 00:20:12,600 in technology that have been added in 387 00:20:15,830 --> 00:20:14,940 and I think it's going to be a great 388 00:20:19,789 --> 00:20:15,840 suit 389 00:20:23,990 --> 00:20:19,799 it is an unbelievable amount of effort 390 00:20:27,770 --> 00:20:24,000 from seamstresses to requirement 391 00:20:30,230 --> 00:20:27,780 Specialists to Engineers managers we 392 00:20:32,450 --> 00:20:30,240 have a range of skill sets and everyone 393 00:20:34,789 --> 00:20:32,460 is so proud to be doing what they're 394 00:20:37,310 --> 00:20:34,799 doing it's like a little bit of each of 395 00:20:39,590 --> 00:20:37,320 us is going up there with the astronauts 396 00:20:42,650 --> 00:20:39,600 and a little bit of our mentors a little 397 00:20:44,270 --> 00:20:42,660 bit of our family like it's it's more 398 00:20:46,669 --> 00:20:44,280 than 399 00:20:49,370 --> 00:20:46,679 just ourselves right it's everyone 400 00:20:51,830 --> 00:20:49,380 before us and everyone after us so 401 00:20:53,570 --> 00:20:51,840 that's um you can definitely feel it 402 00:20:57,049 --> 00:20:53,580 that gives you Goosebumps right like 403 00:20:58,610 --> 00:20:57,059 that is it hasn't sunk in yet and I 404 00:21:00,169 --> 00:20:58,620 don't know if it will ever sink in even 405 00:21:01,730 --> 00:21:00,179 when it's happening and you're looking 406 00:21:04,010 --> 00:21:01,740 at the moon and you're like there's 407 00:21:05,870 --> 00:21:04,020 someone on the moon in an axiom suit 408 00:21:08,350 --> 00:21:05,880 like 409 00:21:21,789 --> 00:21:08,360

00:21:40,740 it's going to be such a great time to 414 00:21:46,430 --> 00:21:43,919 want to get into any aspect of the Space 415 00:21:49,490 --> 00:21:46,440 Program whether you know as an engineer 416 00:21:54,130 --> 00:21:49,500 a designer an astronaut somebody you 417 00:21:57,870 --> 00:21:56,450 and now the moment you've all been 418 00:22:04,200 --> 00:21:57,880 waiting for 419 00:22:05,290 --> 00:22:04,210 [Applause] 420 00:22:09,049 --> 00:22:05,300 [Music] 421 00:22:13,130 --> 00:22:11,750 all right good morning my name is 422 00:22:15,409 --> 00:22:13,140 Russell Wilson I'm the deputy program 423 00:22:17,930 --> 00:22:15,419 manager of Eva at action space in the 424 00:22:18,649 --> 00:22:17,940 suit here this morning is Jim Stein Jim 425 00:22:20,450 --> 00:22:18,659 is 426 00:22:23,090 --> 00:22:20,460 an extraordinary engineer who's a chief 427 00:22:26,450 --> 00:22:23,100 engineer on our team so we gave him the 428 00:22:30,649 --> 00:22:29,330 we gave Jim the honors of demonstrating 429 00:22:34,190 --> 00:22:30,659 the suit this morning I'm going to give 430 00:22:35,510 --> 00:22:34,200 him this uh walking staff here we are in 431 00:22:36,649 --> 00:22:35,520 Earth gravity we're not on the moon if 432 00:22:38,390 --> 00:22:36,659 anybody doesn't know 433 00:22:39,890 --> 00:22:38,400 um on the moon the gravity's not 1 6 of 434 00:22:41,570 --> 00:22:39,900 what it is here so just in case Jim 435 00:22:43,190 --> 00:22:41,580 loses his balance safety reasons want 436 00:22:45,830 --> 00:22:43,200 him to have that but so I'm going to 437 00:22:48,350 --> 00:22:45,840 talk through the suit design uh just 438 00:22:49,730 --> 00:22:48,360 very briefly and as I do that uh Jim's 439 00:22:51,890 --> 00:22:49,740 going to perform some different 440 00:22:53,930 --> 00:22:51,900 um actions Mobility to demonstrate the 441 00:22:55,130 --> 00:22:53,940 mobility of the suit uh before you 442 00:22:56,510 --> 00:22:55,140 before we get into that though I want to 443 00:22:58,490 --> 00:22:56,520 talk about this cover layer so the cover 444 00:23:00,649 --> 00:22:58,500 layer that you see the black the orange 445 00:23:03,110 --> 00:23:00,659 the blue personally I think this looks 446 00:23:06,710 --> 00:23:03,120 amazing I want to thank Esther Marquis 447 00:23:08,390 --> 00:23:06,720 for helping us design this Esther is a 448 00:23:10,070 --> 00:23:08,400 designer a spacesuit designer on the 449 00:23:12,890 --> 00:23:10,080 show For All Mankind if anyone has seen 450 00:23:15,529 --> 00:23:12,900 that on Apple TV plus so so this suit 451 00:23:17,630 --> 00:23:15,539 has a lot of that works into this one of 452 00:23:19,190 --> 00:23:17,640 the differences between this suit and 453 00:23:20,510 --> 00:23:19,200 the suit that will be on the moon is 454 00:23:22,250 --> 00:23:20,520 that it will the moon suit will mostly 455 00:23:23,990 --> 00:23:22,260 be white so we'll replace all the black 456 00:23:25,850 --> 00:23:24,000 with white and that's really for thermal 457 00:23:27,049 --> 00:23:25,860 reasons so didn't want anybody to to get 458 00:23:28,070 --> 00:23:27,059 that mixed up 459 00:23:30,049 --> 00:23:28,080 um but other than that I think this is 460 00:23:32,810 --> 00:23:30,059 just a fantastic fantastic looking suit 461 00:23:34,669 --> 00:23:32,820 so let me let me go top to bottom here 462 00:23:35,930 --> 00:23:34,679 um and just describe the suit overall so 463 00:23:37,490 --> 00:23:35,940 we'll start with the light band I think 464 00:23:40,789 --> 00:23:37,500 you guys saw the lights as Jim walked 465 00:23:42,710 --> 00:23:40,799 out on stage uh on the light bound is 466 00:23:44,630 --> 00:23:42,720 mounted to the visor assembly into the 467 00:23:46,789 --> 00:23:44,640 helmet bubble uh and this this 468 00:23:48,409 --> 00:23:46,799 essentially gives the astronauts lights 469 00:23:49,610 --> 00:23:48,419 to see where they're in shaded portions 470 00:23:51,529 --> 00:23:49,620 of the moon or if they're in low earth 471 00:23:53,149 --> 00:23:51,539 orbit in a night pass they can turn on 472 00:23:55,070 --> 00:23:53,159 these lights to see 473 00:23:56,450 --> 00:23:55,080 um using tools or translating on the 474 00:23:58,909 --> 00:23:56,460 space station or anything like that we 475 00:24:00,830 --> 00:23:58,919 also have on the side here we have a HD 476 00:24:03,590 --> 00:24:00,840 video camera so those of us back on 477 00:24:04,490 --> 00:24:03,600 spaceship earth watching the Eva will be 478 00:24:06,470 --> 00:24:04,500 able to watch it in high definition 479 00:24:09,470 --> 00:24:06,480 which would be a fantastic upgrade I 480 00:24:11,450 --> 00:24:09,480 think from from current day technology 481 00:24:14,090 --> 00:24:11,460 all of this is mounted on the helmet 482 00:24:15,649 --> 00:24:14,100 bubble which is amounted to what we call 483 00:24:17,870 --> 00:24:15,659 in this configuration of our suit the 484 00:24:19,669 --> 00:24:17,880 hard upper torso so the hard upper torso 485 00:24:21,890 --> 00:24:19,679 goes roughly from Jim's waist up to the 486 00:24:23,330 --> 00:24:21,900 top and this is kind of the core 487 00:24:25,370 --> 00:24:23,340 structure of the suit it's what we 488 00:24:26,570 --> 00:24:25,380 attach everything to 489 00:24:27,830 --> 00:24:26,580 um so the arms let's talk about the 490 00:24:28,789 --> 00:24:27,840 backpack in a minute so yeah if Jim 491 00:24:30,350 --> 00:24:28,799 wants to demonstrate some of the arm 492 00:24:31,490 --> 00:24:30,360 ability here 493 00:24:34,010 --> 00:24:31,500 um this really just provides us again 494 00:24:35,990 --> 00:24:34,020 some structured amount things too 495 00:24:37,789 --> 00:24:36,000 each of the arms have a variety of 496 00:24:40,669 --> 00:24:37,799 Mobility joints and elements that we've 497 00:24:43,070 --> 00:24:40,679 designed at Axiom including the gloves 498 00:24:45,350 --> 00:24:43,080 the gloves are a critical part of the 499 00:24:46,909 --> 00:24:45,360 suit design especially for microgravity 500 00:24:49,310 --> 00:24:46,919 Evas where you're using them for hours 501 00:24:51,649 --> 00:24:49,320 at a time to translate to operate tools 502 00:24:53,810 --> 00:24:51,659 to you know fix things to the suit and 503 00:24:55,130 --> 00:24:53,820 so on so we put a ton of effort into 504 00:24:56,930 --> 00:24:55,140 those gloves pretty pretty proud of 505 00:24:59,330 --> 00:24:56,940 where they're at and are confident those 506 00:25:01,330 --> 00:24:59,340 are going to perform very well if Jim 507 00:25:03,350 --> 00:25:01,340 turns to the side here 508 00:25:05,630 --> 00:25:03,360 some people may be wondering hey how do 509 00:25:07,250 --> 00:25:05,640 you even get in this suit there's a 510 00:25:09,230 --> 00:25:07,260 hatch on the back actually you can see 511 00:25:11,210 --> 00:25:09,240 two hinges here so this suit's a little 512 00:25:12,590 --> 00:25:11,220 bit different than the suits of kind of 513 00:25:14,690 --> 00:25:12,600 today that's used in the space station 514 00:25:16,850 --> 00:25:14,700 this is called a rear entry design or a 515 00:25:19,010 --> 00:25:16,860 back entry Design This hatch would open 516 00:25:20,930 --> 00:25:19,020 up you would put your feet in put your 517 00:25:24,230 --> 00:25:20,940 arms in and kind of shimmy down into the 518 00:25:25,970 --> 00:25:24,240 suit and then we would close the hatch 519 00:25:28,610 --> 00:25:25,980 um mounted to the hatch is this box 520 00:25:30,230 --> 00:25:28,620 affectionately known as the backpack we 521 00:25:32,690 --> 00:25:30,240 call it the the portable life support 522 00:25:34,850 --> 00:25:32,700 system so inside of this box are all the 523 00:25:36,649 --> 00:25:34,860 parts and the components to keep to kind 524 00:25:38,810 --> 00:25:36,659 of keep you alive while you're doing Eva 525 00:25:40,669 --> 00:25:38,820 you can think of it as like a very fancy 526 00:25:43,970 --> 00:25:40,679 scuba tank and air conditioner kind of 527 00:25:45,649 --> 00:25:43,980 combined into one so on the lower torso 528 00:25:47,750 --> 00:25:45,659 so let's start kind of from the waist 529 00:25:50,210 --> 00:25:47,760 going down to the to the boots I'll let 530 00:25:52,730 --> 00:25:50,220 Jim do some squats and lunges and and 531 00:25:54,950 --> 00:25:52,740 just show off some of the uh some of the 532 00:25:56,029 --> 00:25:54,960 mobility uh that the suit has and 533 00:25:57,590 --> 00:25:56,039 demonstrate some different movements 534 00:25:59,690 --> 00:25:57,600 there's a variety of joints that we've 535 00:26:00,890 --> 00:25:59,700 put as well into the lower torso 536 00:26:03,110 --> 00:26:00,900 assembly and this is going to be a huge 537 00:26:04,549 --> 00:26:03,120 improvement over the Apollo suits the 538 00:26:06,350 --> 00:26:04,559 Apollo suits didn't have many of these 539 00:26:07,850 --> 00:26:06,360 types of joints that we've put in this 540 00:26:09,470 --> 00:26:07,860 suit so the astronauts will be more 541 00:26:12,230 --> 00:26:09,480 comfortable have an easier time walking 542 00:26:13,789 --> 00:26:12,240 performing tasks getting down to like to 543 00:26:16,250 --> 00:26:13,799 pick up a rock or something like that or 544 00:26:18,769 --> 00:26:16,260 use a geology tool 545 00:26:20,149 --> 00:26:18,779 um and then the other thing that uh yeah 546 00:26:21,769 --> 00:26:20,159 that's a great great demonstration there 547 00:26:23,630 --> 00:26:21,779 by Jim 548 00:26:26,390 --> 00:26:23,640 um the other thing I wanted to touch on 549 00:26:28,130 --> 00:26:26,400 is the boots the boots are critical uh 550 00:26:30,350 --> 00:26:28,140 critical part of the suit especially for 551 00:26:32,990 --> 00:26:30,360 the the Artemis 3 mission and missions 552 00:26:34,549 --> 00:26:33,000 to the the South Pole of the Moon 553 00:26:36,110 --> 00:26:34,559 um we'll be entering regions called 554 00:26:37,190 --> 00:26:36,120 permanently shadowed regions these are 555 00:26:39,409 --> 00:26:37,200 regions of the Moon that never see 556 00:26:41,510 --> 00:26:39,419 sunlight and they're very very cold and 557 00:26:43,370 --> 00:26:41,520 so it's very important that we insulate 558 00:26:45,310 --> 00:26:43,380 the boots appropriately to keep the 559 00:26:47,990 --> 00:26:45,320 astronauts feet 560 00:26:49,909 --> 00:26:48,000 comfortable during the Eva that's a 561 00:26:51,350 --> 00:26:49,919 portion of the design there's there's as 562 00:26:52,730 --> 00:26:51,360 Mr Suffern you mentioned there's many 563 00:26:55,130 --> 00:26:52,740 portions of this design that we've that 564 00:26:56,570 --> 00:26:55,140 we've kind of adopted from xcmu and are 565 00:26:58,430 --> 00:26:56,580 continuing to refine that's that's an 566 00:26:59,870 --> 00:26:58,440 excellent portion the xcmu team did a 567 00:27:01,310 --> 00:26:59,880 tremendous job and a lot of our 568 00:27:02,570 --> 00:27:01,320 teammates did a tremendous job designing 569 00:27:04,070 --> 00:27:02,580 those boots so we're taking those 570 00:27:07,490 --> 00:27:04,080 forward and refining them to flight 571 00:27:08,870 --> 00:27:07,500 those are really a key aspect of the 572 00:27:09,590 --> 00:27:08,880 suit 573 00:27:11,630 --> 00:27:09,600 um 574 00:27:13,190 --> 00:27:11,640 I think I've covered everything pretty 575 00:27:15,470 --> 00:27:13,200 quickly here at a high level I don't 576 00:27:16,789 --> 00:27:15,480 think I've missed anything here 577 00:27:18,470 --> 00:27:16,799 um so I know we've got some questions 578 00:27:19,909 --> 00:27:18,480 and answers that we want to go to but 579 00:27:22,250 --> 00:27:19,919 before we do that I'd love to introduce 580 00:27:24,409 --> 00:27:22,260 our director of human space flight and 581 00:27:26,029 --> 00:27:24,419 the upcoming commander of ax2 mission to 582 00:27:27,950 --> 00:27:26,039 the International Space Station Peggy 583 00:27:29,930 --> 00:27:27,960 Whitson Peggy has spent a lot of time in 584 00:27:33,470 --> 00:27:29,940 spacesuits 585 00:27:38,810 --> 00:27:35,990 I'm so excited to be here today this is 586 00:27:41,090 --> 00:27:38,820 this is a great uh example of what 587 00:27:43,669 --> 00:27:41,100 Innovation can do it's this is going to 588 00:27:45,230 --> 00:27:43,679 be such a much more flexible suit and 589 00:27:47,930 --> 00:27:45,240 the range of motion is really going to 590 00:27:49,310 --> 00:27:47,940 improve the astronauts ability to do all 591 00:27:51,649 --> 00:27:49,320 those tasks that they're going to do 592 00:27:54,529 --> 00:27:51,659 while they're out exploring on the lunar 593 00:27:56,810 --> 00:27:54,539 surface and eventually on Mars that 594 00:27:59,630 --> 00:27:56,820 would be so special and we are here 595 00:28:02,630 --> 00:27:59,640 today actually because of this young 596 00:28:05,750 --> 00:28:02,640 group of people here that are here for 597 00:28:07,970 --> 00:28:05,760 the Moon to Mars Festival we think that 598 00:28:09,890 --> 00:28:07,980 it's really important that we get you 599 00:28:13,130 --> 00:28:09,900 guys started on your space flight 600 00:28:14,630 --> 00:28:13,140 training and it's it's really important 601 00:28:16,850 --> 00:28:14,640 because we know that you're going to be 602 00:28:19,250 --> 00:28:16,860 our future and you're going to be able 603 00:28:21,769 --> 00:28:19,260 to wear this suit someday so we're very 604 00:28:23,510 --> 00:28:21,779 much looking forward to that and we 605 00:28:24,890 --> 00:28:23,520 actually have some really little special 606 00:28:26,930 --> 00:28:24,900 guests that are going to ask some 607 00:28:28,310 -->
