everything or think about today, everything were going to do on artemis i come artemis i leads to artemis ii which leads to artemis iii would hope to have humans on a service of the men but artemis iii is leading to the rest of the artemis program. the first woman, the first person told on the surface of the moon and then the first human striking at the mars and putting our footsteps and building science laboratories and inhabiting another planet. to me it is just the most awe-inspiring moment that we've had here at nasa and i love working here right now. it's an honor to get to do so. what our 42 active in ten the candidates do now to prepare for all of this? i have just a few quick slides. far left a detailed, and my nasa counterparts, european friends, philippe. but in order to land on the moon, in order to land on mars we will come down pretty much a vertically, whether it is spacex option a a building human lanr for the moon that we will fly or other contractors that are coming on like to take some submissions. were going to come down vertically. we're spending time right now with th

one from artemis one to artemis two, we will take 16 components.ost of those are our high dollar avionics one is the cruise seat that commander munich and campos sitting in will be repurposed and become part of artemis two. and then as in a usual engineering uh phased approach, we're gonna ramp up that number for reuse from artemis to through five we are going to be in the realm of about 600 reusable parts. and then from artemus 3 to 6 upwards of 5000 parts. so we are ramping up quickly and our team is working hard to qualify all of that for multiple use. some of them are on five missions. some of them are two missions. and as we gain this information and data from this test flight and artemus two, we might be able to increase from there. if you go to the next chart. this shows a couple of our mechanics and technicians using augmented reality on the left is the crusade assembly at our assembly factory using hololens goggles and on the right we have a mechanic at the a and c facility and she's placing click bonds on flight bracket tree. they're usin

i want to ask for artemis two. why is that? why do you go more old #why do you fall away with the first mission to the moon and lunar orbit on this flight. you should be exercising i cbs and orion, and weak on end. why not go with a bolder mission. thank you. >> launching humans to go run the moon is people read i would tell you that every time we look at these, we try to balance risks so the free return trajectory for artemis to is how we balance it. we come off, and on artemis two, we will have to fly around. it really understands the quality for operators and astronauts. from our perspective, it is risky. for people in a new vehicle and it is risky. having an opportunity to get the propulsion system and failure, that is the free return trajectory. it is all about balance and risk. we added up, and we talk about the objectives, it will be about getting them back, and with changes, we believe that the risk of the mission, the safest is to do the return trajectory >> last month, we celebrated the 50th anniversary of apollo 16,

artemis ii set for 2024 will orbit the moon with astronauts board and artemis iii for 2025 will land people at the moon's south pole. joining me now is kristen fisher live at the kennedy space center in florida. i love the nod to the program, calling this artemis. what's the significance of this mission if we've been to the moon before? >> reporter: you know, a lot of people say that. the reason nasa wants to go back to the moon with the artemis program is two reasons one they want to leave behind more than flags and footprints. they want to build a base on the moon. one that astronauts can live on permanently. and part of the reason they want to do this is because china also has plans to build a base on the south pole of the moon, so there's a political competition element to it. and the other reason is they want to go to mars. nasa officials stress the moon is a proving ground and stepping point to some day get to mars, christine? >> how are the weather conditions there? is it likely to lift off in the two-hour flight window this morning? >> reporter: yes, so christine, the issue w

the next artemis mission, artemis 2, set for 2024, will have a crew for a test flight around the moone ask why would we go back to the moon. we want to travel to mars, and mars is really, really far from planet earth, and the first human crew to go do that might be testing equipment we have never had the opportunity to test before. the perfect place to practice that is the lunar surface. >> it is one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. >> reporter: the apollo missions landed near the moon's equator. artemis will aim for its south pole where dark craters may hold ice that can be converted to rocket fuel, air and water. nasa has announced 13 potential touchdown targets for artemis three, the first lunar landing mission later this decade using a spacex lander. long-term plans call for a mini space station in lunar orbit. >> we are ready to proceed into our pretest briefing. >> reporter: first, the most complex rocket in history must prove itself for nasa's artemis generation to get its moon shot moment. >> i think we have done all of the things you can do to be ready, and i f

that was the part of what is going to be artemis two and three. it is really a compression of a lot of the things. we are standing on the shoulders of those who had been there before, but with a completely different vehicle. jackie: we are running up on the end of time. two more. michael with wall street journal. >> thank you. mike, you talked about the issue of being on the core side, not the engine interface side. could you elaborate on that? have you had any conversations with people on your team, folks at boeing, given their role on the core side? mike: we certainly did discuss whether or not there was an engine problem. marsha's question earlier was alluding to, do we need to remove and replace an engine? there is no indication we are at that scenario at this point. boeing is a part of our engineering team, and the lot control center, on the mission control team. they are integral to the overall operation. we did tap their expertise. we have a whole host of technical experts aside from boeing. nasa engineering and safety center. some of the t

artemis ready. artemis i is ready for liftoff. we're just hours away from the beginning of a new space race we haven't seen in 50 years. artemis i ready for liftoff for the first test flight to the moon with the goal of someday staying there. >> all of this is in preparation to build and develop the technology to go to mars in the late 2030s, 2040. >> reporter: the plan is for the most powerful rocket in the world, the sls, to carry the orion capsule into orbit. it will go around the world once, then fire off to the moon. >> hey, gio, i'm going to take you inside the orion capsule. >> reporter: earlier this year, nasa astronaut victor glover giving us an exclusive look inside that capsule. >> the crew will be restrained here for launch and entry. >> reporter: after reaching the moon with no humans on board this time, it will loop around the moon in a cosmic slingshot of sorts and come back to earth. >> it's coming in 5,000 degrees. >> reporter: a critical test to see if it will be safe for humans in 2024. and so this window is two

he explained why there was so much excitement surrounding nasa's artemis launch.on. lam 67. i went through all of this as a kid, i was told that we would land on the moon in nine years and we did. there was lots of excitement then but that was then and this is now, and we are talking about the artemis generation with, in many ways people harking back to this being their apollo moment, but right now, more than half of the world's population has never seen anybody walk on another world so it is going to be their first moonwalk. that was then with apollo and this is now, everything is instant, everything is going to be in hd. so you will have the celebrities and stuff like that. it is going to be exciting and noisy but we are sending humans to walk on another world, and hopefully, maybe, this time it'll be a global effort and not two countries competing with each other. it has been very much a team effort, global collaboration of notjust nasa but many other countries. absolutely. the stage behind the command module is made by europe, inside are three mannequins, one

testing it before astronauts fly on artemis ii is crucial. >> for me artemis i is exciting.e running to fly on artemis ii and artemis iii. >> we explore for all people and also with all people. >> reporter: if the weather does not cooperate or if nasa runs into technical issues, they have two backup dates lined up, friday, september 2nd, and september 5th. that's the schedule, they're very confident they'll be able to launch on monday in terms of the fact that they have done all they can to prepare for this moment. but this is a test flight, the first time this rocket has ever flown. and so there's always some technical things that you can run into. and of course this is florida in august, and they're really running up on the front end of hurricane season. so they've got that to contend with as well. but, you know, fredericka, there is just so much excitement for this launch. you cannot find a hotel room anywhere near the kennedy space center right now. >> a launch is always so incredibly exciting. of course it will be unmanned, but there will be mannequins on board, right?

the artemis programme aims to return humans to the moon.ccessful, the plan is for astronauts to be on board the flight in two years time. our science correspondent, jonathan amos told us what went wrong frustrating day today, ben, it really was. we had a number of little issues that cropped up. when we got here, it was pouring with rain and that delayed them tanking, putting all the propellants that they needed to go in this monster rocket over my shoulder. then they thought they had a crack halfway up the rocket, believe it or not, and decided that that was just frosting. you know, these propellants are super, super cold liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, and the air, the moisture in the air then condenses on the side of the rocket. but what really did it for us today was one of the four engines underneath the rocket is sort of a shuttle—era engine, actually took them off the old shuttles, reconditioned them. one of them refused to go to the temperature, the operating temperature it would be required to work at, and so they called a scrub,
