That is no easy feat, our guest today on todays panel will tell you about the work across an asset that will make our goals of longterm exploration on the moon and on mars a reality. We have bill nelson, the associate administrator, jim free, the associate administrator for exploration assistant development, the associate administrator for the state operations directorate, dr. Thomas, an associate director, the nasa deputy administrator. We also have astronaut randy resnick. We will open up for questions from questions from the room or from the media. Use artemis to ask your questions online. Here we are, we are going back to the moon but we are going to live and learn and develop new technologies because we are eventually going to mars. The goal was sent by president obama, he gave a date of 2033. It is more likely that now through several administrations into the biden administration, we will see that landing on mars in the late decade of the 20 30s. It is a time of excitement. Think what has happened in a little over the last year. We landed on mars with a rover the size of a truck. We flew a little helicopter in an atmosphere that has a 1 atmosphere. Then we look at what happened starting christmas morning. The result of that after 244 things of a perfect launch that had to work, we are getting the first pictures of what will be 20 years of pictures of light, that has originated in the far reaches of the universe. Already, we have seen it over 13 billion years. At the speed of light. 186,000 miles per second. It will look back to 13. 5 billion years. Shortly after the very beginning. There is a big universe out there to explore. This is the next step in that exploration and this time we go with our International Partners. Indeed, our International Partners are many. You see on this mission, the Service Module, once we get into orbit on artemis four and start to develop gateways like an outpost or a mini space station in lunar polar orbit, there will be many International Partners. Those will be announced over the course of time. Those International Agreements are being signed. The Artemis Records setting the standards for how we are going to conduct ourselves in space have already been signed by 22 nations. We do so at a time that it is a difficult time on the face of the earth in ukraine. A very aggressive president putin has a war going on to it and yet, on the space station are russian partners, the professional relationship between the cosmonauts and the astronauts does not miss a beat. The two Mission Control centers one in moscow and one in houston. Indeed, in a few weeks in america, an astronaut will launch on a soul use and in a few more weeks a russian woman cosmonaut will launch on a spacex. It is part of the integrated crew that is necessary to operate the space station. This mission goes with a lot of hopes and dreams of a lot of people and we now are the artemis generation. One of our special guests here, two days from now will be general tom stafford. The commander of apollo 10. It is no longer the apollo generation. It is the artemis generation. That brings new discoveries, a whole new world of discoveries. Those discoveries are being made now by the people on this panel and i want you to meet the doctor, she is one of the smartest people in nasa. It is an honor to be on the state with these amazing people. With the launch on monday, nasa is at a historic inflection point. To begin the most significant series of missions in over a generation. We are making sure that the agencys architecture is grounded in a longterm strategic vision. Sustained u. S. Presence on the moon, mars, and throughout the solar system. This is influenced by three external factors. Incredible capabilities internationally and in the commercial sector of the offer an expansive array of opportunities. Second, a robust competition that was mentioned that will affect all of our nations space activities. A physical environment that requires us to optimize our fiscal environment that requires us to optimize our resources. Nasa is working hard to establish a technically and politically resilient architecture for our longterm exploration efforts. The architecture has four components. The first is predation and habitation. We would like to conduct a campaign of Human Missions to the moon and mars, living, working, and conducting signs on lunar and martian services and a safe return to earth. Nuclear propulsion is a key foundational capability of the pillar. And will enable not just Human Missions to mars, but also find Scientific Missions deep in the solar system. The ability to develop and use Nuclear Propulsion safely, securely, and sustainably is a vital to maintain our global u. S. Leadership in space. The second proponent is infrastructure. We like to make a lunar infrastructure such that u. S. Industry and our International Partners can maintain a continuous, robotic, and human presence on the lunar surface for a robust deep space economy without nasa as a soul user while accomplishing objectives. A third critical component is operations. We would like to conduct Human Missions around the moon followed by missions to mars. Using a gradual build up would like to demonstrate the technologies and operations to live and work on a planetary surface. Last that is absolutely critical of science, we would like to conduct signs on the moon. Integrating human and robotic methods to address highpriority questions about the moon and demonstrate masses for future science. My colleague and director of systems elaborates on how we plan to execute on the architecture, that through our human exploration efforts, we seek to imagine and create first ever missions and approaches that showcase american ingenuity, pioneer science and technology, improve longterm affordability, reinforce u. S. Preeminence and improve life on earth and address critical critical and national challenges. What we are starting with the launch of monday is not a nearterm misprint, but a longterm marathon to bring the solar system and beyond into our sphere. I am foolish to be part of this integrating vision and let me hat off to jim. I am proud to be a part of this integrating vision and i hand it off to jim. Thank you, i think i could say that. To be part of the exploration systems development, what we are trying to do globally and frankly to be part of the artemis one team is a great honor for me. If i could have the first slide, please. We do have a beautiful vehicle at the pad. We have a launch team and an ops team and a Recovery Team that are rested as rested as of those folks can be with the hard work that they have. We have our Mission Management team, he heard about that today. The vehicle is so attractive and got a nice Lightning Strike are Lightning Tower number two today. Some of you have heard about that. It looks like it was a low magnitude strike. It has the potential to cross the threshold but the teams are looking on as you can imagine, a Lightning Strike, there are a lot of nuanced part of a mining strict analysis that you have to do. I am sure that there will give an on it this afternoon. We called the stations, it is exciting. This mission is our first test of our deep space transportation assistance before we put crew on them. It is foundational in the sense that we need to learn about the vehicles before we put crew on them for artemis two. It senses up longterm at it sets us up for the longterm at the moment. I love how we started talking about mars. As you have heard over the course of the briefings, this is a risky mission. We have a simple but aggressive objectives. Get the vehicle into orbit, in orbit, and back home and understand how the systems operate. When you to understand how the heatshield performs, and we need to recover the vehicle. All of those things are our objectives. Those three objectives. We do have a lot of things that could go wrong during the mission and places where we may come home early. We may have to abort to come home. That is how we test the system, too. Getting the vehicle back, that is incredibly important as well. We will be balancing risk and looking at teams that are launching this thing and operating it. Blocking it out of the ocean. We put systems in place to understand the risks and note the risks we are taking. That risk has great reward on the other side. Studying the environment of the moon, we can learn by staying there longer and developing those capabilities we need on the lunar surface and in orbit around the moon is worth that. It is even more worth it when you consider what artemis does here on earth. We talk about what is going to happen in the next 42 days but the Technology Development and the state of the art facilities and advanced manufacturing, diverted businesses that can provide components to us, supply chain issues, you have heard a lot about that long the wait. Growing the aerospace field, i am publicly biased because that is the field i am in. That new generation of workers ill be inspired by saying the rocket fly and that caps will fly and come home that will be inspired by seeing the rocket fly and that it will circle and come home. What makes artemis different, we have put science in it from the very beginning. I got interviewed for science in seconds today. I said i could speak seconds about science but the science is what we are doing from the beginning. The doctor will talk about the science on this mission and out how we are trying to get central to our architecture in the future. As we develop our architecture, science is in mind. We are starting with our rocket, spacecraft, or systems that get us there. Gateway, our gateway in orbit around the moon has science being built for today by the size Mission Director and our International Partners. It is our landing area, we put boots on the surface for us in development today. The rover that takes our scientists out to the site, the suit that they use to navigate through the surface and pick up the samples to bring home. We design of those elements with signs in mind. How informed and how we can stay longterm and how we move on to mars. We learn about the moon and built out our lunar presence looking at our systems going to mars, we develop capabilities that will enable those things to happen. We need the things we are putting central to our objectives. We will be sustainable this time, that is not mean we are staying 365 days, we can stay 30 days and help enable others to stay there while we are not there. We are going for all humanity, we are going with all humanity. The more nations and companies at the moon, the more that we learn. Encouraging our Knowledge Base and capabilities while strengthening things here on earth. We are thankful for you to be here and on today. I hand it over to our closest colleague, the one i am completely close to, kathy. It is amazing to be part of this team. Everybody on the team is part of our team and pathetic the broader team out there really getting all of this work done. This team has been getting ready for a while, he had to be prepared for the mission that is going to be going off this monday. We are preparing for the missions coming up. Here is a picture of kate, they are at the train export in the volcanic area, it is another example of the teamwork that the administrator talked about. How do we get ready . How do we figure out how we are going to go established the procedures and processes to be able to go to the science that jim talk about talked about . Not only do we have to figure out how to work on a surface, which is what kate and team were doing, we also had to figure out how to live and work in space because as we are going and doing living around the moon and on the moon we have to figure out how to work in these Different Gravitational fields and be able to have processes to be able to take care of the humans that will be doing those missions. The International Space station is a place where International TeamsWork Together just like we will need to have International Teams working together and are operating together in the future. If you see in the picture there is one of my favorite things is a new mexico person with a hatchet chilly, how to have food in space to be able to live and work. In addition, you see scott giving himself his own flu shot. We have to figure out how to deal and be able to take care of our crewmembers and all of the learning we are doing on the space station right now helps us do that. Next slide. This is a picture that is a great example of the collaboration across nasa. This is us doing our upgrade of our solar array which actually started with our space tech brethren over there and thank you. The technology that was developed and is being proven on the International Space station is also being carried forward into the gateway. It is another place where we are considering continuing to develop and mature and use across different platforms that we have for us to be able to live out operate in space and do the science for our groups over here. To be able to accomplish the mission that we need to have. I tell everybody, without a, and data and command, we do not get the critical signs data. It keeps our crewmembers safe and be able to get things done. An International Group of crustaceans and processing facilities that are going to be supporting this mission. Providing critical capabilities to be able to do things and collect data on hardware we are flying. The data is important for us to learn from and be able to apply to the next part of the mission. It is important to collect data from the signs experience we are talking about science experiments we are talking about. We have a lot to learn before we figure out how to live and work around the moon and on the moon and all that will be helping us than to be able to further apply the learning will be tougher for us to be able to go live and operate on mars. What is really great is that here i am with the team of folks who help us go get there and one of the most critical activities we have while we are doing it is to do our science. I will hand it over to thomas who will be talking about the science we are doing on this mission and the importance of it. Thank you. I am reminded in a month start will hit his stride as an asteroid and it is powered by the solar panels. We are using it for a science mission. The word that both of you are using really is the key of my notes is learning. We are exploring and doing science and Building Infrastructure we are learning. I want to talk about the learning of science and i could talk about the Robotic Missions, mapping the moon for over a decade. Lunar reconnaissance orbiter. They have done amazing work. I want to talk and go back and look at human exploration. My favorite picture of this, you know this picture which is a picture of buzz aldrin standing next to a science experiment which is foil and correcting the solar wind as it is coming down at 400 km per second from the backside. That was collected and that is the kind of science that we will do on apollo. It is so important to me and our next slide shows we are going to a moon that is very different than the moon we left with the apollo program. We learn a lot of stuff about this moon and here this is one of the indications of it. A measurement of a mineralogical mapper during an indian mission. That two of the cure launched map that water at print ways. One will be used in a neutron, and the other will use ir to go look at mapping of those resources that are there. It is those resources that are really unexpected, in the moon, and in the past. Other elements that are so important in the signs that have done this, and indicated to the next slide. One of the researchers has that out there, and it is primed to be very sensitive there. You remember the radiation away from the earth, and lowearth orbit is different, space radiation with a Magnetic Field that deflects a lot of radiation that is coming down, and that does not come up. It is space radiation that is not coming through the earth. So it is a lot more radiation as you go beyond that. Astronauts will of Course Experience that as we go there, and its those experiments, 70 of the dna is very similar to that, so we can learn about this as we bring them back. There are other out there, and biological agents out there for us to learn. The most important part is indicated on the next slide. It is the future. I want to tell you, when i think of this, its an artistic image of an astronaut, of the moon, and there she is. Lunar recognition from her hand, and she is there, but we are thinking about is the lunar lander that is the overall artificial intelligence, and even a ground team that has enhanced comms that you talk about. It will provide information there. So you say thats nice. That is what our decade of strategy of science in biology has told us to do. Precisely those kind of robotic human signs that are prioritized for the first time by a national academy. Last week, we listen to a presentation, all of a sudden your, about that decade of coming back with these priorities. There are a lot of things to learn, and it is really the starting point of learning of that on the moon, as ive said. It is very different than the moon we left the last time we were there. Many years ago. When i was a little kid, and i dont have any recollection of that. And neither do most of the people on earth. That is what we are going to do. Tell us about that. Thank you. Thank you. It is a great honor to be here. Technology as it goes by, it shares excitement of the mission. It kicks off many more Robotic Missions to come. We use our portfolio to develop technologies to land and live and asked for the moon and mars in collaboration with industry, academic, and other asians. One of these is the res
