00:00NASA's Artemis III mission is set for a major rehearsal in 2027.
00:04The mission will test technologies needed for future crewed moon landings.
00:08NASA will work with SpaceX and Blue Origin on the demonstrations.
00:12Orion will carry astronauts into low-Earth orbit aboard the SLS rocket.
00:17Blue Origin's Blue Moon test lander is scheduled to launch first.
00:21It could remain in space for up to 30 days during testing.
00:24SpaceX will then launch a Starship Version 3 test article.
00:27The 171-foot vehicle will practice docking with Orion in orbit.
00:32Astronauts will enter the Blue Origin test lander during testing.
00:36They will remain inside Orion during the SpaceX demonstration.
00:39Artemis III will include two separate rendezvous and docking operations.
00:44The mission will also coordinate three powerful rocket launches.
00:48Engineers will study spacecraft motion, software, communications, and control systems.
00:53The mission will remain in Earth orbit rather than traveling to the moon.
00:57Data from these tests will help prepare NASA for future lunar missions.
01:02NASA plans crewed lunar landings beginning with later Artemis missions.
