00:00Lockheed Martin has unveiled a water-based lunar architecture concept

00:04that emphasizes several critical areas for sustainable exploration on the Moon.

00:08The concept includes advanced transportation systems,

00:11such as the Orion spacecraft and a human landing system,

00:15HLS, designed to safely ferry astronauts to and from the lunar surface.

00:20For surface exploration,

00:22versatile multipurpose vehicles of various sizes and capabilities

00:25will be developed to navigate and study the Moon's terrain.

00:29To ensure continuous power supply,

00:31a robust grid combining solar and nuclear fission energy will be established,

00:36providing uninterrupted energy regardless of the Sun's location.

00:40Habitation will be supported by secure, lightweight and spacious shelters

00:44made from inflatable materials,

00:46offering reliable living quarters for astronauts.

00:49Additionally, the architecture will focus on harvesting water ice

00:53and mining lunar regolith,

00:54ensuring the availability of essential resources

00:57to sustain life and operations on the Moon.
