00:00Moonbase One will be the first privately funded lunar lander mission in history.
00:04The Blue Origin Mark I Endurance Lander will deliver multiple payloads to the Shackleton
00:09Connecting Ridge, a strategic area of the lunar south pole. In addition to flying two NASA
00:15science payloads, scalps, a lunar retroreflector array, the mission objective is to demonstrate
00:21critical capabilities that reduce risk for the human landing system missions. On that note,
00:26every mission in support of the lunar base helps us learn and de-risk crewed missions,
00:31but this one is especially important because of the role Blue Origin plays in the Artemis program.
00:36Moonbase Two will be the largest commercial payload delivered to the lunar surface ever,
00:41though in this Moonbase endeavor we certainly hope to be breaking records on nearly every mission.
00:47The astrobotic Griffin Lander will carry more than 500 kilograms of cargo, including Astrolab's
00:52flip rover to the lunar surface. This mission will help mature the capabilities necessary to support
00:58future lunar terrain vehicle, lunar terrain vehicles, autonomous operations, logistics, and especially
01:04the LTV astronaut mobility. Moonbase Three will expand our scientific understanding of the lunar
01:10surface. This mission will deliver the first payload selected through NASA's PRISM initiative,
01:15a program that brings together universities, researchers, and industry through open competition
01:20to solve scientific questions. The anchor scientific mission is Lunar Vertex, which will study lunar
01:26swirls, one of the Moon's most intriguing mysteries. Now, these unusual formations appear brighter
01:32than their surroundings as portions of the lunar surface are somehow shielded from the effects
01:37of the solar wind. Understanding why they exist could improve our understanding of how the lunar environment
01:42evolves, how surface materials change over time, and how future infrastructure may perform in these extreme
01:49conditions. Moonbase will be home base for our Artemis crews and will encompass long-duration stays,
01:54expanded robotic and human capabilities, and an enduring presence on the lunar surface.
02:00Everything we tested and learned on Artemis II, the systems, the teamwork, the operational tempo, feeds
02:07directly into our ability to build a sustainable foothold on the Moon. With Moonbase, Artemis astronauts will stay longer,
02:15explore farther, and conduct the kinds of science that advances exploration itself, understanding how humans operate
02:21off-world, how we build infrastructure, and how we prepare for Mars.
02:25We envision the Moonbase to be hundreds of square miles with different assets, all building up to the objective of
02:33permanent lunar
02:34presence on the Moon. To get there, we're going to break it up in phases, and phase one has already
02:39started.
02:40From now through 29, we're going to work to make sure that getting to the lunar surface is a high
02:46-reliability endeavor.
02:48Many assets we can deliver there. We're also going to test and experiment the science of survival, as the administrator
02:54said.
02:55We're going to experiment on the things that we know are ahead of us that we're going to need to
03:00build a permanent infrastructure,
03:01which is happening on phase two, and then permanent habitation on phase three.
03:05We've been making sure that you do not have to view what the site is done.
03:05We'll be doing research frequently.
03:05To do notную, we'll be producing attention on phase three.ë ¥somo,
