the door for humanity 649 00:34:44,115 --> 00:34:46,517 to live and work sustainably on 650 00:34:46,517 --> 00:34:47,819 another world for the first 651 00:34:47,819 --> 00:34:48,920 time. 652 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:50,822 First the moon, and then on to 653 00:34:50,822 --> 00:34:51,823 Mars. 654 00:34:51,823 --> 00:34:53,724 Actress Kelly Marie tran tells 655 00:34:53,724 --> 00:34:55,526 the story of how we are going to 656 00:34:55,526 --> 00:34:57,128 put the first woman and the next 657 00:34:57,128 --> 00:35:00,231 man on the moon by 2024. 658 00:35:00,231 --> 00:35:05,937 >> Between 1968 and 1972, 659 00:35:05,937 --> 00:35:07,338 America launched nine human 660 00:35:07,338 --> 00:35:09,240 missions to the moon, six of 661 00:35:09,240 --> 00:35:11,442 which successfully touched down. 662 00:35:11,442 --> 00:35:13,277 >> Allowing 12 men to walk on 663 00:35:13,277 --> 00:35:15,079 the lunar surface. 664 00:35:15,079 --> 00:35:17,482 NASA's next chapter of lunar 665 00:35:17,482 --> 00:35:19,083 exploration called Artemis has 666 00:35:19,083 --> 00:35:20,785 the task of not just going to 667 00:35:20,785 --> 00:35:22,286 the moon to create a long-term 668 00:35:22,286 --> 00:35:24,188 human presence on and around it, 669 00:35:24,188 --> 00:35:26,891 but also to prepare for evermore 670 00:35:26,891 --> 00:35:29,293 complex human missions, to Mars. 671 00:35:29,293 --> 00:35:31,295 In short, everything we must be 672 00:35:31,295 --> 00:35:33,598 able to do here we must first do 673 00:35:33,598 --> 00:35:35,099 here. 674 00:35:35,099 --> 00:35:37,802 So what will an Artemis mission 675 00:35:37,802 --> 00:35:40,204 look like? 676 00:35:40,204 --> 00:35:41,405 Everything is designed and 677 00:35:41,405 --> 00:35:43,207 tested with our most important 678 00:35:43,207 --> 00:35:45,409 element in mind, the astronauts. 679 00:35:45,409 --> 00:35:47,812 This is their deep space human 680 00:35:47,812 --> 00:35:50,114 rated spacecraft called or I 681 00:35:50,114 --> 00:35:53,618 don't know build, Orion, the 682 00:35:53,618 --> 00:35:55,620 crew module where up to four 683 00:35:55,620 --> 00:35:56,921 crew will live, with life 684 00:35:56,921 --> 00:35:58,322 support systems for the crew and 685 00:35:58,322 --> 00:36:00,024 its own engine and fuel reserves 686 00:36:00,024 --> 00:36:02,426 and a launch abort system with 687 00:36:02,426 --> 00:36:03,728 engines capable of pulling the 688 00:36:03,728 --> 00:36:05,229 crew module to save during 689 00:36:05,229 --> 00:36:06,931 launch if anything goes wrong. 690 00:36:06,931 --> 00:36:07,832 To accomplish the task of 691 00:36:07,832 --> 00:36:10,234 launching our crew and heavy 692 00:36:10,234 --> 00:36:12,036 payload NASA is building the 693 00:36:12,036 --> 00:36:13,671 space launch system comprising a 694 00:36:13,671 --> 00:36:16,274 cargo hold, a massive core stage 695 00:36:16,274 --> 00:36:18,876 and two extend odd solid troct 696 00:36:18,876 --> 00:36:20,177 boosters, altogether there is 697 00:36:20,177 --> 00:36:21,879 the world's most powerful rocket 698 00:36:21,879 --> 00:36:23,781 and it exceeds the legendary 699 00:36:23,781 --> 00:36:27,385 Saturn 5of the Apollo rather in 700 00:36:27,385 --> 00:36:28,286 numerous ways. 701 00:36:28,286 --> 00:36:30,488 Sit okay on the launchpad it 702 00:36:30,488 --> 00:36:31,088 weighs just 703 00:36:31,088 --> 00:36:33,391 over6millionpounds, 704 00:36:33,391 --> 00:36:36,193 5.2million which is the fuel. 705 00:36:36,193 --> 00:36:37,795 Once he ignited there is no song 706 00:36:37,795 --> 00:36:38,796 what comes next. 707 00:36:38,796 --> 00:36:41,799 All 4 RX 25 engines and the two 708 00:36:41,799 --> 00:36:43,501 solid rocket boosters come to 709 00:36:43,501 --> 00:36:44,602 life thundering our crew 710 00:36:44,602 --> 00:36:45,202 upwards. 711 00:36:45,202 --> 00:36:46,804 Two minutes after ignition the 712 00:36:46,804 --> 00:36:49,507 solid rocket boosters are spent. 713 00:36:49,507 --> 00:36:50,908 Eight minutes after launch the 714 00:36:50,908 --> 00:36:52,410 core stage is depleted and 715 00:36:52,410 --> 00:36:53,411 separated. 716 00:36:53,411 --> 00:36:55,713 The upper stage fires briefly 717 00:36:55,713 --> 00:36:58,215 placing Orion in a parking orbit 718 00:36:58,215 --> 00:36:59,216 around the Earth. 719 00:36:59,216 --> 00:37:01,519 Here the crew recobb, 720 00:37:01,519 --> 00:37:03,421 reconfigures the spacecraft and 721 00:37:03,421 --> 00:37:04,522 confirms everything is ready for 722 00:37:04,522 --> 00:37:06,524 deep space travel. 723 00:37:06,524 --> 00:37:08,326 With a go from mission control, 724 00:37:08,326 --> 00:37:09,727 the crew reignites the 725 00:37:09,727 --> 00:37:11,329 exploration upper stage engine 726 00:37:11,329 --> 00:37:13,364 to leave Earth entirely, the 727 00:37:13,364 --> 00:37:14,966 exact timing of this maneuver is 728 00:37:14,966 --> 00:37:16,467 critical to reach a speed that 729 00:37:16,467 --> 00:37:18,970 can escape Earth's GRAVITATIONAL 730 00:37:18,970 --> 00:37:21,272 pull but also put Orion on a 731 00:37:21,272 --> 00:37:22,673 course that will intersect the 732 00:37:22,673 --> 00:37:23,674 moon days later. 733 00:37:23,674 --> 00:37:24,976 Once this burn is complete the 734 00:37:24,976 --> 00:37:27,178 upper stage of the SLS is 735 00:37:27,178 --> 00:37:28,879 jettisoned and the crew aboard 736 00:37:28,879 --> 00:37:30,982 Orion coast for several days for 737 00:37:30,982 --> 00:37:32,283 all that awaits them at the 738 00:37:32,283 --> 00:37:32,883 moon. 739 00:37:32,883 --> 00:37:34,285 Approaching the moon we see the 740 00:37:34,285 --> 00:37:35,286 fundamental differences between 741 00:37:35,286 --> 00:37:37,688 Artemis and Apollo. 742 00:37:37,688 --> 00:37:39,790 Instead of requiring or try I 743 00:37:39,790 --> 00:37:42,393 don't know to have a expendable 744 00:37:42,393 --> 00:37:44,395 lunar module, the Artemis 745 00:37:44,395 --> 00:37:45,496 missions will take advantage of 746 00:37:45,496 --> 00:37:46,797 a different approach, 747 00:37:46,797 --> 00:37:48,399 prestaging. 748 00:37:48,399 --> 00:37:49,700 Everything needed for lunar 749 00:37:49,700 --> 00:37:50,801 missions will be positioned in 750 00:37:50,801 --> 00:37:52,703 advance by commercial and 751 00:37:52,703 --> 00:37:53,904 international partners. 752 00:37:53,904 --> 00:37:56,107 This includes rovers, science 753 00:37:56,107 --> 00:37:57,608 experiments and human systems on 754 00:37:57,608 --> 00:37:59,010 the surface. 755 00:37:59,010 --> 00:38:00,611 But it also includes a dedicated 756 00:38:00,611 --> 00:38:02,213 lunar station in orbit around 757 00:38:02,213 --> 00:38:04,015 the moon called Gateway. 758 00:38:04,015 --> 00:38:05,516 Here at the station, we can 759 00:38:05,516 --> 00:38:07,418 prestage a robust lunar Lander 760 00:38:07,418 --> 00:38:09,320 and establish a strong 761 00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:10,821 communications relay, designed 762 00:38:10,821 --> 00:38:12,423 with open standards the Gateway 763 00:38:12,423 --> 00:38:14,358 can be expanded as new missions 764 00:38:14,358 --> 00:38:16,160 and partnerships develop, 765 00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:17,561 allowing multiple human missions 766 00:38:17,561 --> 00:38:18,763 on the moon at the same time, 767 00:38:18,763 --> 00:38:20,264 and enabling ongoing science to 768 00:38:20,264 --> 00:38:22,366 be conducted even between human 769 00:38:22,366 --> 00:38:22,967 missions. 770 00:38:22,967 --> 00:38:24,969 The Gateway is also capable of 771 00:38:24,969 --> 00:38:26,570 adjusting its orbit to allow 772 00:38:26,570 --> 00:38:27,972 access to every part of the 773 00:38:27,972 --> 00:38:29,774 moon, something the Apollo 774 00:38:29,774 --> 00:38:31,175 missions could not do, but the 775 00:38:31,175 --> 00:38:33,477 real approach is placing Gateway 776 00:38:33,477 --> 00:38:36,380 in a unique tailored orbit to 777 00:38:36,380 --> 00:38:39,083 perfect the maneuvers for the 778 00:38:39,083 --> 00:38:40,484 mission and with a growing list 779 00:38:40,484 --> 00:38:42,086 of international opportunities 780 00:38:42,086 --> 00:38:44,188 Gateway is the ideal hub between 781 00:38:44,188 --> 00:38:46,190 esht and all that lies beyond. 782 00:38:46,190 --> 00:38:47,491 Returning to our crew as they 783 00:38:47,491 --> 00:38:50,094 approach Gateway, the Orion must 784 00:38:50,094 --> 00:38:52,296 match the he lip Cal orbit of 785 00:38:52,296 --> 00:38:54,999 the station to dock. 786 00:38:54,999 --> 00:38:57,001 Preselected crew members 787 00:38:57,001 --> 00:38:58,703 transfer to the lunar Lander 788 00:38:58,703 --> 00:39:00,705 while some remain on the 789 00:39:00,705 --> 00:39:01,005 station. 790 00:39:01,005 --> 00:39:03,708 The lunar Lander is built for 791 00:39:03,708 --> 00:39:05,009 three unique steps, descending 792 00:39:05,009 --> 00:39:06,911 from the halo orbit of Gateway 793 00:39:06,911 --> 00:39:09,113 down to a low lunar orbit, the 794 00:39:09,113 --> 00:39:10,414 descending from there to the 795 00:39:10,414 --> 00:39:12,616 surface, and once the lunar 796 00:39:12,616 --> 00:39:14,251 mission is complete, launching 797 00:39:14,251 --> 00:39:15,753 from the surface of the moon and 798 00:39:15,753 --> 00:39:17,054 ascending all the way back to 799 00:39:17,054 --> 00:39:23,861 the orbiting Gateway. 800 00:39:23,861 --> 00:39:25,663 Once back aboard the Orion 801 00:39:25,663 --> 00:39:27,164 spacecraft undocked from the 802 00:39:27,164 --> 00:39:28,766 Gateway the crew fires their 803 00:39:28,766 --> 00:39:30,067 engines 2015 break out of the 804 00:39:30,067 --> 00:39:32,670 halo orbit, and once again to 805 00:39:32,670 --> 00:39:34,271 explaining the spacecraft around 806 00:39:34,271 --> 00:39:37,274 the moon, placing it on a 807 00:39:37,274 --> 00:39:38,876 multiday trajectory back to 808 00:39:38,876 --> 00:39:39,276 Earth. 809 00:39:39,276 --> 00:39:40,978 As they near the end of this 810 00:39:40,978 --> 00:39:42,680 journey the service module is 811 00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:44,381 released and the crew module is 812 00:39:44,381 --> 00:39:47,685 oriented heat shield first and 813 00:39:47,685 --> 00:39:49,286 returning to Earth's atmosphere 814 00:39:49,286 --> 00:39:51,789 at 25,000miles per hour the 815 00:39:51,789 --> 00:39:52,990 Africa Shun of the atmosphere 816 00:39:52,990 --> 00:39:55,292 slows them down significantly 817 00:39:55,292 --> 00:39:57,595 and subjecting it to 818 00:39:57,595 --> 00:40:00,498 temperatures of $25,000. 819 00:40:00,498 --> 00:40:02,600 The parachute is tested and 820 00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:03,501 produced for this moment 821 00:40:03,501 --> 00:40:06,103 deploys, decelerating the craft 822 00:40:06,103 --> 00:40:07,805 to just 20miles per hour for 823 00:40:07,805 --> 00:40:10,508 splashdown. 824 00:40:10,508 --> 00:40:12,710 With each successful mission, 825 00:40:12,710 --> 00:40:14,445 Artemis ushers in the next wave 826 00:40:14,445 --> 00:40:16,447 of men and women to explore our 827 00:40:16,447 --> 00:40:21,252 moon and together we are ready 828 00:40:21,252 --> 00:40:33,164 to go beyond. 829 00:40:33,164 --> 00:40:34,665 If you would like to to get 830 00:40:34,665 --> 00:40:35,766 another look at any of these 831 00:40:35,766 --> 00:40:37,368 stories you just saw today go to 832 00:40:37,368 --> 00:40:39,069 Youtube or Facebook. 833 00:40:39,069
