 All right, so first of all 10 minutes is tough. Where is Matt from the White House? No, the other Matt. Yeah, there you are You watched him. It's hard to do And the second thing is short break. So I know people are full turn back in but now I have 958 I did before I was the deputy program manager For Gateway work in human spaceflight operations for 20 years So actually it's been interesting to listen to all of you Because I'm probably the furthest away from policy you could possibly get in terms of my background, right? I sat on console and mission control when the very first dragon docked to the space station I sat on console and mission control when Bob and Doug launched on the first SpaceX crew vehicle things like that so most of my experience is Human spaceflight operations and before I came to Gateway. I was the chief flight director for about five years So I've been doing Gateway for the last year Sort of stepping backwards in the life cycle from the execution part to sort of the design and development part You know listen to the talks where I think of most of you is at the very Sort of front-end and the and the policy piece, right? So a little bit we're gonna start there from a NASA standpoint. Let's see if I can get my chart to work Working let's try it again So moon to Mars, right? One of the great things about listening to you everything today is is there's repeatability in the discussions? Which I think is what you want in the industry, right? So human spaceflight there is an amazing amount going on as well as just spaceflight in general as is evidenced by all of You being here and much of that discussion is around Getting to the moon and then going to Mars, right? So when you talk about the White House and OSTP and the CIS lunar and what they have put out in terms of tenants and objectives NASA takes that sort of down a notch and says our architectural concept review So Space Symposium last April our deputy administrator Pam Melroy rolled out our ACR, right? So you gotta learn acronyms Architectural concept review with it actually came six white papers. One of them was about Gateway So on the NASA website I encourage you to read it and the other one was about the orbit We are going to be in the near rectilinear halo orbit And so that's kind of how it flows together, right? If you like timelines, you can kind of think about it from a timeline if you like building blocks Well, that's the foundational building block of what we're trying to do moon to Mars. All right, so the challenge is you take all of these ideas and you have to execute them and turn them into Practical things you have to go build hardware You have to get it on orbit which many of you know is very very difficult right cost money cost time You run into lots of challenges and so the good news for NASA is that last November? We flew the very first Artemis mission So Artemis is interesting right so name of a mission Artemis one And we actually also think about it kind of as an umbrella which is a collection of different functions Right you need a rocket you need a vehicle that carries the crew human rated certified You're gonna need a gateway which we're gonna talk about more in a minute So space station around the moon you are gonna need a lander to get down to the surface And then of course all of the surface operations. So when we talk about Artemis we think about that entire Architecture so last November we actually got to the execution phase of the very first mission no crew yet, right? So when we're up here talking about Mars and we're at you know almost step one at least in our lifetime of getting to the moon It can seem a little daunting. I tell you from my perspective It's actually really exciting because we got over the first hurdle right when you talk to many of The the team members that did Apollo the flight directors the astronauts the designers They talk about you know getting that first step is always the hardest And I'd say maybe getting the first two steps is the hardest because this one didn't have crew on it, right? So Artemis to the next mission is when we'll put our crew on the vehicle and send them around the moon and back No landing yet, but we'll send them around the moon and back. So we named the crew They are wonderful people one of them is actually a Canadian astronaut And so it's mentioned in a couple of the panels trying to do this as a as a global team, right? Artemis accords have been mentioned again trying to do it as a global team and the next panel is going to talk a little bit About the Artemis Accord so the picture on the left. Let's see. Yep Your left is SLS rocket in the middle is an actual real photo of the Orion spacecraft So that's the one that carries the crew and then splashed down so went around the moon and back Next year if everything goes correctly We will do that same thing again with our crew followed the following year by Artemis 3 which is the first moon landing mission. So we haven't quite gotten to the gateway yet So Artemis 1 Artemis 2 Artemis 3 and then Artemis 4 Which is scheduled now in the 2027 timeframe is where gateway will start to get added to the architecture So now we're going to talk about gateway for just a few minutes All right, so Matt set me up really well earlier when he talked about CIS lunar space And so this is a small animation of our near rectilinear halo orbit in CIS lunar space So it's at one of the Lagrange points right stable point between the earth and the moon and the spacecraft Specifically chosen because of the performance of the spacecraft, right? You don't need as much power or as much propulsion to get in or out of that orbit or to stay in that orbit Right when you're orbiting around you have to do things called orbital maintenance maneuvers to kind of stay in the right position and so this is a stable place where it doesn't cost you a lot of fuel to do that, right? We also have access to many places on the surface of the moon from this orbit Six and a half days revolution and we get relatively close as you can tell kind of looks like a big egg Or in a big ellipse so on one side we get pretty close To the surface of the moon and that gives us the opportunity again from a fuel standpoint to you know The lander can leave gateway drop us off and come back. Why is all of that important in the context of sustainability? I mentioned the white paper earlier There were tremendous number of studies to try to figure out which orbit to put gateway in this one was specifically chosen for all Of those reasons gateway has a 15-year lifetime and so Sustainability right ability to be maintained at a certain level We need gateway to work and function and be safe for humans for 15 years or even longer if you're familiar with the International Space Station It originally started with a much shorter lifetime and now we're extended out to 2030 And so we want to be able to not only just continue but also maintain it safely for a crew for very long So that's why this orbit was very specifically chosen. Let's see gateway itself You can't invite an engineer and not have an exploded view chart. So just thank you guys very much for humoring me Back to sustainability right a couple of the panels have mentioned of the geo politics. They are incredibly important Gateway is an international space station with significant contributions from international partners Canadian Space Agency Japanese Space Agency European Space Agency They are all contributing entire modules a robotic arm Eclipse systems batteries. These things are incredible pieces of Gateway the first two elements actually of gateway that will launch here and be on orbit in about the 2026 time frame are are us-based one of them is halo north of Grumman one of them is a power propulsion element and Maxar But beyond that they're international contributions the next module I have International habitation module very very fancy acronym there is is ESA ESA is responsible for building that entire module For the gateway space station. So from a geopolitical standpoint This is an amazing opportunity to continue what we've built in the earth orbit with the international space station and from our Standpoint and this was said earlier at NASA. This is really the way to do this, right? No one company No one country can go it alone. It's a big ecosystem. It costs a lot of money to get this done and a lot of Determination and backing and so the international aspect of gateway is tremendously important one of the other things that we have started really to think about that's important as we try to encourage others to participate both commercial companies and Countries is the interoperability, right? This has been mentioned a couple times as well extremely important You want everyone to have enough opportunity to innovate but make sure everything goes together at the end, right? You can build a spacecraft and then you can't actually fly it if it doesn't talk to each other, right? power systems life support systems communication systems of the data and when you think about data you're talking down to the individual You know ones and zeros and a string of numbers and then those two elements can't talk to each other And so interoperability is really challenging because you don't want to be too prescriptive in stifle innovation But you want everything to work together in the end And so as you think about bringing in policy and bringing in new elements, we've got to find the balance there Right? There's not an answer. We just have to really be mindful of it the other piece in terms of the sphere of Orbit and the sphere of the surface right is supply chain and logistics if we are going to be Sustainable if we're going to go to the moon to stay those are the two big spheres the on orbit piece actually helps us more Getting to Mars in terms of living and working far away from the earth the low earth orbit space station international space station Today you can get home in six hours on average maybe four. It's a good day You can't get home from the moon like that, right? And so we've got to have autonomy the crew members have to have the capabilities They need to take care of themselves And so the on orbit piece taking what we learned from the international space station to Gateway and then on to Mars is Incredibly important for sustainability and with that goes logistics and resupply So the surface right and build things you can put them on the surface and then they run out of fuel And you can't use them anymore. We spent a whole lot of money to get it there So you got to figure out how you're going to resupply it Gateway is the same way right? It's not built to hold and house food and water and things that the crews need you got to bring it with you So we have to have a logistics chain and actually logistics vehicle to Gateway in order to make it sustainable We actually have contract out those are commercial vehicles and opportunities to participate in Gateway on the Artemis program. Some of them are Internationals as well. So supply chain logistics interoperability couple of things that people talked about things like dust and trash and orbital breed if you're gonna live and work in your NRH orbit and your Gateway space station for the next 15 plus years We have to figure out how to do all of those things so Gateway sort of the tip of the spear We're actually out trying to tactically solve those problems, right? So we have a model as an example that tries to explain how the dust is going to come off the surface with the lander and an impact Gateway Does it land on your solar rays? Do they degrade then do you need to build an extra solar ray because you're gonna have to replace it in Fewer than 15 years. What about your mechanisms and your joints inside of your robotic arm? Do you need to protect them now? Those are all traits, right? They cost money versus risk and so that's kind of what we do every day as we build up Gateway So Gateway itself right back to the exploded view. It doesn't happen all at once I mentioned power propulsion element big thing with solar rays. That's Maxar and then the Module right next to it is Halo. They go up together about 2026 it takes 11 months to spiral out through the van Allen belts They have an electric propulsion system talk about sustainable and another reason that the NRA to orbit was chosen Because it a place where you can use electric propulsion because you don't need a lot in order to maintain your orbit And then we'll add over the next series of Artemis missions. I have which we talked about a Refueling module again sustainability. I heard refueling talked about a little bit earlier today And an airlock so that we have the ability to maintain the Gateway go outside change out boxes, right? That's an interesting question, and I'm my time is zero so I will finish up kind of right here But if you think about it Gateway is an outpost. It's not a 100% human tended space station like our low-earth orbit space station So there's going to be significant periods of time where there is no crew there and so now you're transitioning into autonomy and Robotically being able to replace things like pumps or batteries And so all of that heads towards sustainability for Mars and the future of not only humans base flight but space flight in general the panel before talked about Why is this important? You know what what's in it for us on earth, right? and so even our international Habitation module there are you know 30 European countries contributing everything from you know small tiny chips to batteries to Integration and all of those countries and all of the companies are learning how to do that Technology not just for space but also for themselves here on earth and so from a technology test bed We're really excited to kind of have a global presence both from a country and a company standpoint The next chart really is just a picture to kind of get off the stage remind everyone that Artemis Gateway is going to be an amazing opportunity for us to live and work in CIS lunar space we think of it as deep space when you grew up flying Low-earth orbit vehicles right and mostly that's crew-based because you can't get them home very quick And so I appreciate you guys having me today And I'll be around in case you have a few questions because 10 minutes was was not not a long time to scratch the surface But I think I did okay, so thank you guys
