00:26Now, Moonbase One will be the first
00:28privately funded lunar lander mission in history.
00:31The Blue Origin Mark I Endurance Lander
00:34will deliver multiple payloads
00:35to the Shackleton Connecting Ridge,
00:37a strategic area of the lunar South Pole.
00:40Every mission in support of the lunar base
00:42helps us learn and de-risk crewed missions,
00:45but this one is especially important
00:47because of the role Blue Origin plays
00:48in the Artemis program.
00:50The target no earlier than launch date
00:52is the fall of 2026.
00:55Moonbase Two will be the largest
00:57commercial payload delivered
00:59to the lunar surface ever,
01:00though in this Moonbase endeavor,
01:02we certainly hope to be breaking records
01:04on nearly every mission.
01:06The astrobotic Griffin lander
01:07will carry more than 500 kilograms of cargo,
01:10including Astrolab's FLIP rover
01:12to the lunar surface.
01:14This mission will help mature
01:15the capabilities necessary
01:16to support future lunar terrain vehicles,
01:21autonomous operations, logistics,
01:23and especially the LTV astronaut mobility.
01:40We hope to have some sort of
01:43habitation capability in phase two
01:46with the pressurized rover.
01:48That will be where the astronauts can land
01:50on their human-rated lander,
01:53hop on the pressurized rover,
01:54and basically work and explore the Moon
01:56on a short-lived environment,
01:58and then from there,
01:59go to different locations
02:00where they can get out
02:01of the pressurized rover,
02:03perhaps hop onto a lunar terrain vehicle,
02:05and even go farther with EVA suits.
