>> WE ARE GOING TO THE MOON WITH NASA'S ARTEMIS CAMPAIGN, WE WILL EX MORE THE MOON IN NEW WAYS, TRAVEL VAST DISTANCES AND DISCOVER MORE THAN EVE BEFORE, ALL WHILE LEARNING HOW TO LIVE AND WORK ON ANOTHER CELESTIAL VEHICLE WILL TAKE US TO PLACES NER VISITED BY ASTRONAUTS, HARSH LANDSCAPE, EXTREME COLD, AND LITTLE MITTED SUNLIGHT AT THE MON'S SOUTH POLE DEMANDS A TRULY OFF-ROAD AND OFF PLANET VEHICLE. IT WILL LET US CONDUCT SCIENCE D LOCATE NEW RESOURCES, AND THAT WILL HELP US GO DEEPER INTO OUR SOLAR SYSTEM. WE REBUILDING ON OVER FIVE DECADES OF EXPERIENCE, ANDHIS TIME IT WILL OPERATE WITH OR WITHOUT ASTRONAUTS ONBOARD IN A CONTINUOUS EXPLORATION AND SCIENCE ON THE LUNAR SURFACE. ♪ ♪ ♪ WE ARE SENDING A ROBUST VEHICLE THAT CAN STAND UP TO THE CHALLENGES OF THE SOUTH POLE. FOR NEWCOVERIES, FOR PLACES NEVER EXPLORED, FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL. WELCOME TO THE ARTEMIS GENERATION'S LUNAR TERRAIN VEHICLE. >> GOOD AFTERNOON. D WELCOME TO NASA'S JOHNSON SPACE CENTER HERE IN HOUSTON, TEXAS. I AM VICTORIA. TODAY HAVE AN EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT TOLL REVEAL THE COMPANIES SELECTED TO MOVE FORWARD IN DEVELOPING THE LUNAR TERRAIN VEHICLE, WHICH WILL ALLOW ASTRONAUTS TO EXPLOORE OF THE LUNAR SURFACE DURING R PAMMIST HERE TODAY WHO WILLAM BE PROVIDING REMARKS AND ANSWERING SOME QUESTIONS REGARDING THE NEW AWARD. WITH US TODAY, WE HAVE VANESSA, DIRECTOR OF THE JOHNSON SPACE CENTER. JACOB BLEACHER, C EXPLORATION SCIENTIS ATASA HEADQUARTERS IN WASHINGTON, D.C LARAEARNEY, MANAGER O THE EXTRAVEHICULAR ACTIVITY AND HUMAN SURFACE MOBILITY PROGRAM HERE AT THE YSC.

WITH THAT, I WILL HAND IT OVER TO VANESSA FOR OPENING REMARKS. VANESSA: THANK YOU, THANK YOU, VICTORIA. GOOD AFTERNOON. NASA'S JOHNSON SPACE CENTER IS ROUD TCONTINUE EXPLORATION VIA NASA'S ARTEMIS MOON TO MARS PROGRAM. AS THE HOME TO MISSION OPERATIONS, ASTRONAUT TRAINING, HUMAN SPACECRAFT DEVELOPMENT, SYSTEMS INTEGRATION, AND PROGRAM MANAGEMENT OF OUR PMIER NASA PROGRAMS. I AM PLEASED TO TALKHE ACCOMPLISHMENTS THAT HAPPENED HERE EVERY DAY. AT THE JOHNSON SPACE CENTER, WE ARE VERY PROUD OF MANAGING THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION. WE ARE OPERATING AND CONDUCT SCIENC 365 DAYS OF THE YEAR AND IT NOT ONLY BENITS EARTH, BUT IT ALSO IS HELPING WITH US OUR EXPLORATION GOALS. THROUGH THE ARTEMIS PROGRAM, WE WILL WITNESS OUR NATION'S RETURN TO THE LUNAR SURFACE. TIME SUSTAA SUSTAINABLE HUMAN PRESENCE ON THE MOO IN PREPARATIONS FOR MISSIONS TO MARS. BUILDING ON COMMERCIAL COLLABORATION, THAT STARTED IN LOW-EARTH ORBIT, WE ARE FOSTERING A COMMERCIAL SPACE ECONOMY WITH PRIVATE SECTOR AND. IN VIEW OF THIS, I AM PLEASED TO NOUNCE, AFTER A VERY THOROUGH AND RIGOROUS PROCUREMENT PROCESS, NASA IS SELECTING THREE AWARD DES TO PROVIDE LUNAR TERRAIN VEHICLES SERVICES. THE INTUITIVE MACHINES REPRESENTED BY STEVE, CEO AND CO-FOUNDER. LUNAR OUTPOST REPRESENTED BY JUST TIN CYRUS, CEO AND FOUNDER AND ASTRO LAB REPRESENTED BY JARRETT MATTHEWS, CEO A CONGRATULATIONS THISAPABILITY IS BEING ADDED TO THE OTHER ARTEMIS ELEMENTS, THE EX EXCITEMENT HERE IS TREMENDOUS AS WE ARE TRAINING THE ARTEMIS II CREW FOR UPCOMING TEST FLIGHTING TO THE LUNAR VICINITYEXTR. THE WILL BE THE FIRST HUMANS TO VENTURE TO DEEP SPACE SINCE 19 AT THE CLOSE OF THE APOLLO ERA. THEY WILL BOARD ORION SPACECRAFT ON TOP OF A SPACE LAUNCH SYSTEM ROCKET AND BE LAUNCHED FROM A KNOW PILE LAUNCH PLATFORM AT KER. OUR ASTRONAUTS, ENGINEERING, OPERATIONS AND MEDICAL TEAMS ARE WORKING WITH OTHER COMMERCIAL AND INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS ON VEHICLE END SYSTEMS THAT WILL SUPPORT SUSTAINABLE LUNAR MISSIONS. JOHNSON SPACE CENTER IS PROUD TO LEAD OTHER CRITICAL ELEMENTS OF E ARTEMIS ARCHITECTURE. NCLUDING COMMERCIAL LUNAR PAYLOAD SERVICES THAT PROVIDES ROBOTIC EXPLOTION ACTIVITIES, GATEWAY, WHICH IS HUMANITY'S FIRST SPACE STATION AROUND THE MOON, AS WELL AS OUR EXPLORATION CAPABLE COMMERCIALLY PROVIDED SPACESUITS. IN SUPPORT OF FUTURE ARTEMIS MISSIONS, GATEWAY WILL PLAY A KEY ROLE IN HELPING NASA AND I PARTNERS LEARN HOW TO LIVE SUSTAINABLY ON ANOTHER BODY. THE OH WRYIAN SPACECRAFT WILL DOCK BE WITH THE GET WHICH AND OUNAUTS WIL PERFORM CREW OPERATIONS WHILE PREPARINGOR SURFACE OPERATIONS V COME MILLION,LY DEVELOPED HUMAN LANDING SYSTEMS. AS ASTRONAUTS EXPLORE THE SOUTH POLE REGION OF THE MOON DURING THE ARTEMIS MISSIONS, THEY WILL BE ABLE TO GO FURTHER AND CONDUCT MOREENCE TVER BEFORE THANKS TO THE LUNAR TERRAIN VEHICLE. THINK OF A HIGH PRID OF THE APOLLO-STYLE LUNAR ROVER THAT WAS DRIVEN BY ASTRONAUTS THEN IN CREWED MOBILE SCIENCE PLATFORM. THIS WILL GIVE THE CREW THE CAPABILITY TO TRAVEL A DISTANCE URTHER FROM THEIR SITES. IN ADDITION, DURING UNCREWED OPERATIONS, THAT LTV WILL PROVIDE AUTONOMOUS OPERATIONS FOR SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY. NASA AND THE JOHNSON SPACE CENTER WORKFORCE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK CLOSELY WITH INTUITIVE MACHINES, LUN OUTPOSTS WHEREIN ASTRO LAB AS THEY BUILD THE LTV PROVIDING IN SIGHT THROUGHOUT THE DEVELOPMENT AND ENSURING THAT THE SYSTEM IS SAFE FOR OUR ASTRONAUTS. CONGRATULATIONS. >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. >> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VANESSA. I WILL NOW HAND IT OVER TO JA JAKE: THANK YOU, THAN YOU FOR HAVING U VA MESA. THIS TRULY AN EXCITING MOMENT. AS WE ARE LOOKING TO THE MOON AND CONTINUE TO TAKE STEPS WITH ARTEMIS TO BUILD A BLUE PRINT FOR EXPLORING SPACE. I WOULD LIKE TO CONGRATULATE ASTRO LAB, INTUIVE MACHIS AND LAR OUTPOST FOR BRINGING FORWARD YOUR INNOVATIVE AND CREATE SOLUTIONS THAT WILL PROVIDE NEW OPPORTUNITY FOR EXPLORATION OF THE MOON. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO CONGRATULATE LAR ARE AND HER TEAM. I KNOW THEY SPENT A LOT OF HARD WORK, A LOTF TIM AND HD WORK TO REACH TH POINT. A LOT OF TIME AND HARD WORK TO REACH THIS POINT. I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A MOMENT TO ENSURE WE ALL RECOGNIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. IF YOU WILL INDULGE ME FOR A MOMENT. LET'S TAKE A STEP BAC IN OUR MEMO AND TRY TO REMBER A TIME WHEN YOU WERE CHILD. MOST LIKELY, YOUR WORLD WAS AS LARGE AS THE RANGE THAT YOU COULD MOVE UNDER THE OWN POWER AT THAT TIME. NOW TRY TO ROAR HOW IT FELT WHEN YOU FST GAINED THE ABILITY TO MOVE PEE BEYOND BEYOND THE BOUNDARIES OF THAT WORLD. FOR ME, THA INVOLVED LEARNING TO RIDE A BIKE. MAYBE FOR YOU, IT WAS SOMETHING DIFFERENT, ROLLER SKATES, ROLLER BLADES, SKATEBOARD, MAYBE A WHEELCHAIR, MAYBE IT WAS EVEN ACCEES TO PUBLIC TNSIT FOR THE FIRST TIM REGARDLESS OF YOUR TECHNICAL SOLUTION, YOU COULD NOW REACH PLACES THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY OFF LIMITS TO YOU. ENHANCED MOBILITY, FUNDAMENTALLY IT CHANGES WHERE YOU CAN GO. IT CNGES WHAT YOU CAN D QUITE SIMPLY, IT CHANGES WHAT YOU CAN LEARN. SCIENCE IS OUR TOOLBOX FOR LEARNING. ENHANCED MOBILITY IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT TOOLS IN TT SCIENCE TOOLBOX. SCIENCE ITSEL IS ONE OF THE FUNDAMENTAL REASONS, THAT WE ARE GOING TO THE MOON. SCIENCE WILL HELP US LEARN ABOUT THE MOON, ABOUT HOW WE SURVIVE IN SPACE, AND THAT WILL HELP US BUILD THAT BLUEPRINT FOR EXPLORING AWAY YOU FROM THE EARTH. THE MOO IS A TREASURE CHEST OF SCIENCE THAT CAN UNLOCK THE SECRETS OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM AND TEACH US MORE ABOUT THE HOME PLANET FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL. THE LUNAR SAMPLETURN FROM CHANGED OU VIEW OF THE SOLARY SYSTEM. OUR PLACE IN ITS EVOLUTION AND SCIENTISTS CONTINUE TO THIS DAY TO UNLOCK NEW INSIGHTS FROM THOSE SAMPLES. INCREASEDHEN THE LUNAR ROVINGES VEHICLE ENABLED EXPLORATION OF MORE SURFACE AREA PERMISSION. THAT DIVERSITY OF LUNAR KNOWLEDGE IS WHAT WE SEEK NOW. OBSERVATIONS, FROM PREVIOUS ROBOTIC EXPLORE IN SPACE, AND EVEN IMPACT MISSION ON THE SURFACE HAVE PROVEN THAT PERMANENTLY SHADOWED REGIONS ON THE MOON INCLUDING SOME CRATE OTHERS IN THE SOUTH POLAR REGION CONTAIN WATER, YET WE ARE ONLY SCRATCHING THE SURFACE OF KNOWLEDGHE MOON HAS TO OFFER US. FUTURE SAMPLES FROM ARTEMIS MISSIONS WL INCREASE THA DIVERSITY OF OUR KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE MOON. THE DISCOVERY OF WATER ON THE MOON HOLDS PROMISE FOR BOTH SCIENCE AND HUMAN EXPLORATION NASA WANTS TO UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH WATER EXISTS B THE SURFACE ANDHETHER OR NOT W CAN ACCESS IT. BOATER UNDERND STAKING OF THINK SOURCES AND CONCENTRATIONS OF THIS WATER WILL HELP TEACH US HOW THE MOON FORMED AND EVOLVED. AND MAY PROVIDE RESOURCES FOR OUR FUTURE EXPLORERS. UNDER ARTEMIS, NASA IS SPENDING ASTRAUTS TO EXPLORE MORE OF THMOON THAN EVEREFORE. INCLUDING THE LUNAR SOUTH POLE WHERE NO HUMANS HAVE EVER BEEN. CREWS WILL USE THE LTV TO EXPLORE. THEY WILL TRANSPORT SCIENTIFIC EQUIHEY WILL COLLECT SAMPLES FROM THE LUNAR SURFACE FROM MUCH FURTHER THAN TY COULD IF THE WERE ON FOOT ALONE. THIS WILL ENABLE US TO LEARN MORE SCIENCE AS WE GO. WITH THE ADDITION OF THE LTV, WE ARE COMBINING THE BEST OF HUMAN AND ROW BOLTIC EXPLORATION. ROBOTIC EXPLORATION. BETWEEN THE AEMIS MISSIONS, WHEN THE ASTNAUTS ARE NOT ON THE MOON, NASA CAN USE THE LTV'S REMOTE OPERATION CAPABILITIES TO CONTINUE EXPLORING. IT MEANS ALSO THAT WE WILL BE ABLE VO OPERATE THINK LTV TO OUR ON THE SURFACE. THAT MEANS THEY WILL BE READY TO GO RIGHT AWAY TO FOCUS ON ALL THE EXPLORATION THAT BENEFITS THE MOST FROM HAVING OUR ASTRONAUTS THERE. THEN, AFTER THE CREW LEAVE, THE LTV CAN CONTINUE REMOTE OPERATIONS FNAL EXPLATION, PROSPECTING, SCIENCE, SIMIL TO ROBOTIC EXPLORERS THAT WE HAVE ON MARS RIGHT NOW. THIS CAN HELP US IDENTIFY PRIORITIES FOR OUR NEXT CREWED MISSIONS. WITH NASA'S ARTEMIS CAMPAIGN, WE REBUILDING UP THE CAPABILITIES NEED TO ESTABLISH A LONGER TERM EXPLORATION AND PRESEE OF THE MOON THE LTV IS ONE OF THO CAPABILITIES THAT WILL ENABLE TO CONDUCT MORE SCIENCE AS WE EXPLORE. AS WE LEARN TO LIVE FURTHER AWAY FROM HOME, FOR LONGER PERIODS OF TIME,VER BEFORE, WE WILL BUILD THE FIRST LONG TERM RESINS ON THE MOON, AND INSPIRE A WHOLE NEW GENERATION OF SCIENTISTS, EN I NEARS, ASTRONAUTS, ARTISTS AND EVERYTHING ELSE. MARS REMAINS HORIZON GOAL, AND WHAT WE LEARN HERE ON THE MOON, BOTH WITH THE OPERATION, IN HOW TO INTERPRET THE SCIENCE, THAT WILL HOPE US WHEN WE A READY TO TAKE THE NEX GIANT LEAP TO MARS. NOW I LIKE IMAGINE THE VIEWS AND THE VISTAS THAT THE LTV WILL ENABLE US TO SEE FROM THE SURFACE OF THE M THIS TRLY IS AN EXCITING NEXT STEP IN EXPLORATION. THE LTV IS TRULY AN EXPLORATION VEHICLE. WHERE IT WILL GO, THERE ARE NO ROADS. IT IS MOBILITY WILL FUNDLALLY CHANGE OUR VIEWOON. IT IS FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGEHE VIEW OF THE MOON. THANKS. >> THANK YOU, JACOB. NOW OVER TO LARA KEARNEY. LARA: THANK YOU, VICTORIA. REALLY EXCITED TO BE HERE TODAY. OUR NASA TEAM HAS BEEN WORKING REALLY HARD TO GET TO THIS POINT. IT STARTED A COUPLE OF YEARS IT TOOK U A LITTLE WHILE TO UNDERSTAND THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS VEHICLE AND WHAT IT MEANT TO ASK A VEHICLE TO OPERATE ON THE MOON IN THE LUNAR SOUTH POLE REGION, FULL-TIME, 20-7, 365 FOR SOD TO MAKE SE WE WERE REALLY GETTING THE REQUIREMENTSET RIGHT WHEN WE PUT THE ROW QUEST FOR PROPOSAL OUT. WE ALSO WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE TRULY UNDERTOAD THE ACQUISITION STRATEGY AS WAS MENTIONED, WHICH WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ARE PURNING THE COMMERCIAL INDUSTRY FORWARD AND MAKINRE SUSTAINING A ROBUST LUNAR USES A LITE WHILE TO MAKE SUREK WE UNDERSTOODED WHAT THE REQUIREMENT SOCIETY WAS. ONCE WE GOT THE RSP OUT, OUR PROCUREMENT TEAM REALLY KICKED IN AND, WORKED REALLY HARD FOR THE LAST YEAR MAINTAINING THE SCHEDULEO WE COULD BE HERE WHERE WE ARE TODAY. AM REALLY EXCITED TO HAVEHE THREE GENTLEMEN SITTING HERE TO MY LEVELED. WE HAVE BEEN WAITING TO THIS POINT WHERE WE CAN START ENGAGING THEM AS A PROGRAM GOING FORWARD. SO A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE EVA AND HUMAN SURFACE MOBIL PROGRAM. WE ARE CHARGEDITH DELIVERING AND INTEGRATING THE EVA SPACESUITS THAT WILL BE USED TO WALK ON THE LUNAR SURFACE, THE LTV, THAT WE ARE HERE TO AWARD TODAY AND THE PRESSURIZED ROVER. TOGETHER, THESE THREE ELEMENTS WILL PROVIDE THOH FIRT SURFACE ELEMENT FORCE THE ASTRONAUTS IN THE EARLY ARTEM MISS ARE MISSIONS SO WE HAVE RESPONSIBILITY NOT ONLY TO DELIVER THESE ELEMENTS ON COST AND ON SCHEDULE, BUT TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE INTEGRATED WELL AND MEETING ALL THE OBJECTIVES OF THE ARTEM ENTERPRISE AS WELL AS OUR SCIEN COMMUNITY. SO AGAIN ARE GAIN, WE REVERY EXCITED NOW THAT WE HAVE THESE COMPANIES AND THESE TEAMS ONBOARD, WE CAN BETTER UNDERSTAND WHAT THE DESIGNS ARE AND HOW THEY INTERPRIT TO THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT REARE ARTEERPRISE.UPPORT FOR THE CONTRACT.UT THE STRUCTURE OF THE IT ISES WHAT WE CALL A SVICE CONTRACT. SO WE HAVE ASKED THESE COMPANIES, NOT ONLY TO DESIGN, DEVELOP, AND DELIVER A LUNAR TERRAIN VEHICLE, BUT TO ALSO GET THAT VEHICLE TO THE MOON. SO ASF THEIR PROPOSALS, THEY PROPOSED T ONLY THE DESIGN OF THE LTV, BUT ALSO HOW THEY LAUNCH IT AND HOW THEY WILL LAND IT ON THE LUNAR SURFACE. EACH OF THEIR CONTRACTS WILL INCLUDE THAT FULL SCOPE. BUT THEY ARE NOT ACTUALLYAUTHORR WE HAVE PUT A TASK ORDER IN HAVE COMPETITIVE TASK ORDERSILL THOUGHT THE LIFE OF THE CONTRACT, THAT ENSURES WE MAINTAIN ROBUST COMPETITION. WE CONTINUE TO GET INNOVATION AND WE GET THE BEST VALUE FOR THE GOVERNMENT AND LONG-TERM COMMERCIAL ECONO. SO HOW WE DOHAT AT THE BEGINNING IS WE HAVE WHAT WE CALL A FEASIBILITY PHASE, IT IS A TASK ORDER THAT EACH OF THE COMPANIES WILL GET. IT IS ABOUT 12 MONTHS IN DURATION. LEADS UP TO THE PRELIMINA DESIGN REVIEW. AND SO DURING THAT TIME, OUR NASA TEAMS WILL BE WORKING WH THEM TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE DESIGNS LOOK LIKE. IT RATING WITH THEM ON WHERE WE CAN MAKE IMPROVEMENTS THEN UNDERSTANDING HOW THEY IN CORPORATE INTO OUR OVERALL LUNAR ARCHITECTURE. ONCE WE GET PAST THAT PNT, WE WILL HAVE THE FOLLOW ON SUBSEQUENT COMPETITIVE REQUESTS FOR PROPOSAL GO OUT. WELL, THEY WILL THEN COMPETE FOR WHAT WE CALL A DEMONSTRATION TASK ORDER. THAT DEMONSTRATION ALLOWS THEM TO FINISH THE DEVELOPMENT, GET THE LTV TO THE MOON AND DEMONSTRATE IT O THE SURFACE PRIOR TO THERRIVAL OF THE ARTEMIS 5 CREW. WE ANTICIPATE ONLY BEING ABLE TO AWARD THAT DEMONSTRATION TASK ORDER TO ONE OF THESE COMPANIES. ONE THAT DEMONSTRATION IS COMPLETE, WE'LL THEN MOVE ON TON WHAT WE CL SERVICE TASK ORDERS, THAT WILL BE ANNUAL CANCE WHERE WE WILL WORK WITH THE ARTEMIS ENTERPRISE CUOMERS AS WELL AS THE SCIENCE CUSTOMERS AND ON ANNUAL PASS SIS WE WILL AWARD SERVICE CONTRACT FOR THEM TO PROVIDE BOTH CREWED THE REMAINING LIFE OF THE CONTRA. SO AIN, WE ARE REALLY, REALLY EXCITED. OUR CONGRATULATIONS TO THE THREE COMPANIES FROM OUR TEAM. WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO JUMPING IN WITH YOU GUYS, AND CERTAINLY MAKING LTVA BIG SUCCESS. >> THANK YOU, LARA. WE WL NOW HEAR REMARKSES FROM EACH OF THE SELECTED COMPANIES IN ALPHATICAL ORDER STARTING WITH STEVE OF INTUITIVE MACHINES. STEVE. STEVE: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WELCOME, EVERYBODY. I AM SO EXCITED TO BE HERE. AND RECEIVE TS REWAR ON BEHALF OF THE MOON RACER TEAM, WHICH IS THE REUSABLE -- LET ME WRITE THIS DN HERE. THE REUSINGABLE AUTONOMOUS CREWED EXMORE RACIAL ROVER TEAM. OUR TEAM IS MADE UP OF ABL, BOEING, MUSH LYNN, NORTHROP GRUMMAN WITH INTUITIVE MACHINES AS PRIME. WE ARE VERY EXCITE. I REMEMBER A MONTHALING, WAS IN THIS ROOM IN A PRESS CONFERENCE CELEBRATING A SUCCESSFUL SOFT LANDING ON THE MOON, AND THE P, THIS LTV AWARD IS JUS AN EXCITING NT STEP TO PUT THE MOST CRITICAL PIECE OR THE FIRST CRITICAL PIECE OF INFRASTRUCTURE ON THE SURFACE. WE ARE GOING TO NEED THIS WORLD CLASS TEAM TO DO THAT BECAUSE AS YOU SAW IN THE VIDEO, THE ENVIRONMENT ON THE MOON IS HARSH, YOUNOW, WE HAVE 500-DEGREE TEMPERATURE SWINGS. THE SOUTH POLE REGION IS ROCKY AND SHADOWED. IT IS GOING TO STRESS OUR SUSPENSION, OUR DRIVE TER ARE IN, OUR POWER SYSTEMS AND ALGORITHMS AND SOFTWARE, AND WE ARE GOING TO NEED THISLOBALL INTEGRATED TEAM TO PULL THAT OFF TO ALLOW THE ROVER TO LIB FOR TEN YEAR AND PROVIDE THE SERVICE THAT NASA IS ASKING FOR. I THINK WHAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT ALSO IS TO ALAW APPLAUD NASA FOR THIS NON-TRATITIONAL FORWARD THINKING PROCUREMENT. IT REALLY ISENTIAL EXITING THAT NOT ONLY ARE WE GOING TO SUPPORT THE ARTEMIS CAMPAN WITH CREWED MISSIONS AND UNCREWED MISSIONS, BUT ALSO, IT IS COMMISSIONERLY AVAILABLE FOR US AS A COMMERCIAL BUS HESSS TO SELL CAPACITY ON THAT ROVER AND DO THAT FOR TIONAL PND FOR OTHER COMMERCIAL COMPANIES AND SPAC AGENCIES AROUN THE WORMED. SO THIS IS ANOTHER FIRST THE LTV CONTRACT IN A LUNAR ECONOMY AND I AM HAPPY TO REPRESENT OUR MOON RACER TEAM AND TO BE HERE ANDPR. >> ALRIGHT.ERY MUCH. THANK YOU, STEVE. NEXT UP IS JUSTIN CYRUS WITH LUNAR OUTPOST. JUSTIN: HI. MY NAME IS JUSTIN CYRUS. AM THE CEO AND FOUNDER AT LUNAR OUTPOST. FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW WE WHO WE ARE. LUNAR OUTPOSTS THE LEADING MOBILITY PROVIDER THE WORLD. WE HAVE FOUR ROVERS THAT ARE HEADED TO THE LUNAR SURFACE. THE FIRST ONE THIS YEAR LATER AS PART OF THE MISSION. THEN A COMMERCIALON TO FOLLOW AND INTERNATIONAL COLLORATION FROM THERE AS PART OF THE AUSALIAN SPACE AGENCY'S TRAIL BZER PROGRAM. SO I AM HONORED TO BE HERE REPRESENTING OUR COMPANY, BUT ALSO OUR AMAZING TEAM. SO OUR TEAM CONSISTS OF LOCKHEED MARTIN, GERAL MOTORS, SPACE AND GD YEAR WHO ARE ALL PROVIDING CRITICALOMPONENTS OF THIS OVERALL CONTRACT. NOW, OUR TEAM COMBINES PROVEN HUMAN AND ROBOTIC HERITAGE WHICH IS EXTRAORDINARILY DIFFICULT TO COME BUY AND FORTUNATE TO HAVE AS PART GROUP. AND WHAT WE ARE DOING IS TKING NOT ONLY THESPACE HERT AME BUT TAKING KITTING EDGE TECHNOLOGY AND AUTOMOTIVE INDUSY STRENGTHS TO PROVIDE A TRUE OFF-ROAD VEHICLE CAPABLE OF ALLOWING US TO LIVE AND WORK ON THE SURFACE OF THE MOON. WITH THE STRONG FOCUS ON COMMERCIALATION AND ENABLING THE LUNAR ECONOMY, OUR TEAM I WELL POSITIONED TO HELP NASA TAKE THE NEXT LEAP. AS PART OF THE ARTEMIS CAMPAIGN, OUR LTV DESIGN EMPHASIZES ASTRONAUT SAFESIDE OF NEW CAPABILITS THAT ALLOW NEW MISSION PROVICE INCLUDE ENHANCED SCIENCE MISSION RETURNS ALONGSIDE BUILDING AND MAINTAINING IN STRA TUNING TURE ON THE SURFACE OF THE MOON. I AM TRULY HUMBLED TO BE HERE ON THE STAGE. AT JOHNSON PACE CENTER, WHERE AS A K, I GREW UP RIGHT DONE THE STREET, WATCHING THE PEOPLE OF THIS CENTER, WATCHING THE PEOPLE OF NASA CONTINUE TO CONSTANTLY PUSH BOUNDARIES AND EXPLORE NEW HORIZONS. THAT SPIRIT OF CONSTANTLY PUSHING, IMPROVING, EXPLORING WHAT IS LEAD ME TO BE THIS STGE TODAY. SO FST OF ALL, THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THAT INSPIRAON. REALLY HOPE I AM ABLE TO BE A PART OF THIS PROGRAM AND IN FIRE THE NEXT DEN RAILINGS. NOW WHERE -- THE NEXT GENERATION. I DO WANT TO THANK NASA FOR LETTING US HAVE OPPORTUNITY TO GET HUMANY BACK TO MOON AND OPP TO MARS HOPEFLY THIS TIME TO STAY AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO MAKE THE MOST OF IT. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, JUSTIN. WE WILL HEAR FROM JARRETT MATTHEWS OF ASTRO LAB. RRETT? JARRETT: THANK YOU FOR JOINING US TODAY. ASTRO LAB IS ON A MISSION TO MOVE HUMANY FWARD BY BUILDING AND RATING A FLEET OF MULTIPURPOSE PLANETARY ROVERS FOR TRANSPORTING CREW, SUPPORTING SCIENCE AND EXPLORATION, AND ROBOTIC CARGOLD ENTUALLY MARS. FIRST I WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS MY DEEP GRATITUDE TO NASA FORGIVING US THIS OPPOUNITY TO WORK ALONGSIDE OF YOU ON THE LTVS PROJECT AND TO THE ASTRO LAB TEAM, FOR WORKING SO HARD FOR YEARS ON THE LTV DESIGN AND FORG PROPOSAL. THE ASTRO LAB TEAM IS COMPRISED OFANY INCREDIBLE INDIVIDUALS WITH DECADES OF EXPERIENCE AND HUMAN SPACEFLIGHT, MOBILITY, AND PLANETARY ROBOTICS AND SO PROUD OF THEM TODAY. I WOULD LIKE TO THANK OUR LTVS TEAMEMBERS, AXIOM SPA AND ODYSSEY SPACE RESEARCH WHO ARE BRINGING TO THE TEAM THEIR DEEP EXPERIENCE AND CREW INTERFACES, CREW TRAINING, AND FLIGHT SOFTWARE, SIMULATION, SAFETY MISSION INSURANCE, MISSION OPERATIONS. WHO ARE BNGING THEIR CUTTINGERS EDGE ADVANCEMENTS AND ELECTRIC MOBILITY, ENERGY STORAGE, AND LUNAR TIRE DESIGN. ASTRO LAB HAS BEEN WORKING OVER FOUR YEARS ON THE COMMERCIAL MAT FORM CALLED THOUGH FLEXIBLE LOGISTICS AND EXPLORATION ROVER OR FLEX. FLEX IS TO OPERATE ON THE MOON FOR YEARS AND PURPOSE BUD TO HELP ESTABLISH A PERMANENT HUMAN PRESENCE SEASON THE MOON TO SERVE AS A CATALYST FOR THE LUNAR ECONOMY. THE FIRST COMMERCIAL VERSION OF FLEX SCHEDULED TO ALMOST LAND ON THE MOON IN LATE 2026 WITH UP TO S OF COMMERCIAL CARGO. DATE THE STRONG COMRCIAL MODELAL PRIOR TO SENDING THE FLEX LTV FOR NASA'S ARTEMIS CAMPAIGN. EVERYTHING NASA HAS EVER ACCOMPLISHED HAS BEEN BECAUSE THEY CAN ASSEMBLE GREAT TEAMS AND WHATE ARE DONE AT ASTRO LAB SO ON BEHALF 6 EVERYONE INVOLV WITH OUR TEAM,E ARE HONORED HUMBLED AND SO VERY MUCH FORWARD LOOKING LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING WITH NASA TO DELIVER THE MOST CAPABLE AND VERSION TILE ROVER THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN. THANK YOU. >> ALL RIGHT. AND THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR BRIEFERS FOR THOSE INITI REMARKS. WE WILL NOW MOREOVER ON TON THE QUESTION AND ANSWER PORTION OF TODAY'S NEWS BRIEFINGS FOR ALL MEDIA BOTH HERE END THOUGH ROOM AND ON THE PHONE PRIG, PLEASE REMEMBER TO STATE YOUR NAME,AFFU WOULD LIKE TO DIRECT YOUR QUESTION TO. WITH THAT, AND THOSE IN THE ROOM, JUST RAISE YOUR HAND. >> HI. THANKS FOR DOING THIS. AL QUESTION FOR LARA. YOU TALKED ABOUT A 12-MONTH FEASIBILITY PHASE. THEN COMPETITIVE RFP. WANT TO UNDERSTAND HOW YOU ARE GOING TO MAINTAIN COMPETITION BUT ALSO SOUNDS LIKE ONE TEAM BUILDING ONE ROVER LTV THAT GETS TO THE MOON OR THIS PROGRAM AND SO, AT WHAT POINT DO YOU CUT FROM 3 TO 1. HOW LONG DOES THAT LAST? IT SEEMSIKE IT IS GOING TO BE FAIRLY BRIEF COMPETITION. >> THE CURRENT PLAN, AFAWN, A LOT OF IT BASED ON AVAILABLE BUDGET AND SO, RIGHT NOW, THE INTENT IS TO JUST RUN THE FEASIBILITY PHASE THROUGH THE 12 MONTHSS I MENTIONED AT THAT POT, ONE DEMONSTRATION. BUT THAT SAIDONTRACT MECHANISM IS EXTRAORDINARILY FLEXIBLE. WHICH CAN BRING TASK ORDERS ON TO THE MECHANISM AT ANY TIME DEPENDING ON IF ANOTHER USE COMES IN WE CAN CERTAINLY TURN ON ANOTHER TASK ORDER FOR ANHER DEVELOPMENTR SERVICE EFFORT AND WALSO HAVE ON-RAMP CLAUSE THAT ALLOWS OTHER COMPANIES TO COME ON TO THIS CONTRACT IN THE FUTURE SHOULD THEY HAVE CAPABILITY. SO REALLY, IT IS A MATTER OF OBJECTIVES REQUIREMENTS IF W HAVE CUSTOMS THAT COME WITH ADDITIONAL FUNDING, WE HAVE A CONTRACT MECHANISM, THAT WILL ALLOW COMPANIES TO CONTINUE TO COMPETE FOR FUTURE DEMONSTRATIONS AND SERVICE PERIODS. >> OK. THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION. JUST AS A REMINDER FOR THOSE ON THE PHONE PRIG, PLEASE PRESS 1 TO ENTER ININTO THE CUE. IF YOU FUNNIER QUESTION HAS BEEN ANSWER, PLEASE PRESS STAR 2 TO WITHDRAW IT AT ANY TIME. WITH THAT, WE'LL TAKE ANOTHER QUESTION IN THE ROOM. >> THANK YOU, MK ROWE WITH AVUATION WEEK ANDPACE TECHNOLOGY. I HAVE A FEW TECHNICAL QUESTIONS. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU SPECIFIED THIS YET. BUT IF YOU COULD EXPLAIN HOW POW WHICH ARED.SUPPOSED TO BE WHAT - POWERED, WH THE RANGE COULD BE, MAYBE YOU COULD DESCRIBE THE KIND OF ENVIRONMENT AT THE LUNAR SOUTH POLE THAT THESE WILL BE EXPERIENCING IN TERMS OF THERMAL AND AVIATION AND OTHER M FACTORS. THANK YOU. >> PERHAPS I WILL START WIT HIGH LEL REQUIREMENTSND THEN YOU GENTLEMEN CAN CERTAINLY JUMP IN. WE TRIED VERY HARD IN THIS REQUIREMENT SET TO NOT BE TOO DICK TAIFTIVE. WE WANTED TOICTATETIVE AND HIGH LEVEL AND UNDERSTANNG WITH A OF THE IN ENVIRONMENT IS. ONE THE BIG CHALLENGES AT THE LUNAR SOU POLE IS POWER. GIVEN WE ARE IN SHADOW QUITE OFTEN SO THE NASA TEAM HAD DONE A LOT OF ANALYSISES TO TRY TO UNDERSTAND HOW WE WOULDIGATE TO AN AREA WHERE WE CONTIE, WHERE WE COULD GET AREAS TO WHERE THE SUN CAN GET TO THE ROVER AND WE CAN AT LEAST HAVE SOME KIND OF POWER THAT WAY. WE HAD DERIVED A CERTAIN NUMBER OF HOUR, A MINIMALUMBER OF HOURS THAT WE PUT ON THIS CONTRACT, UM, WE DID NOT LIMIT AND WE DID NOT DEFINE HOW THE SYSTEMS HAD TO BE POWERED, SO THEY WERE ABLE TO PROVIDE INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS AND CERTAINLY ABLE TO PROVIDE WHAT I WOULD CALL EXCESS CAPACITY IF THEY COULD FOR INSTANCE MEE150 HOURS AND ALLOWS USES TO STAY IN DARKNESS LONGER THAT PROVIS MORE OPERAONAL FLEXIBILITY FOR US, SO THAT IS ONE OF THE DRIVING REQUIREMENTS. AS FAR AS THERMAL, IT WAS MENTIONED WE CAN S HUNDREDS OF DEGREES ONE WAY OR ANOTHER BEYOND BEING IN THE SUN T BEING IN THE SHADED AREA. RADIATION IS A BIG ONE. TO BE ABLE TO KEEP ELECTRONICS ALIVE IN THAT ENVIRONMENT. WE VERY ASKED THE COMPANIESES TO MEET A TEN-YEARRATING L WE DID NOT DEFINE HOW THEY NEEDED TO TO THAT. USED EXAMPLES TO PROVE A POINT. THEY COULD FOR INSTANCE COME IN AND SAY I WOULD DELIVER ONE ROVER THAT IS GOING TO LAST TEN YEARSR DELIVER TEN ROVERS THAT ONLY LAST ONEEAR. THAT WAY THEY HAVE THE TRADE SPACE TO SAY, MAYBE I CAN FLY COTS, ELECTRONICS BUT HAVE TO REPLACE THEM ONCE A YEAR OR HAVE TO BE ROBUST BECAUSE I AM GOING TO LAST TEN YEARS. THOSE ARE BOUNDING CASES, NONE THOSE, BUT WANTED TO GIVE THEM HIGH LEVEL REQUIREMENTS THEN THEY COULD INNOVATE IN HOW THEY WANTED TO SOLVE THOSE PROBLEMS. >> I AM HAPPY TO HOP IN. SO OUR COMPANY AND OUR TEAM MORE BROADLY HAS COOL TECHNOLOGY THI. I IS A BIG PART OF WHAT WE ARE ACTUALLY FIGURING OUT OVER THE COURSE OF THE FIRST FOUR ROVER MISSIONS AND BASICALLY HOW TO SQUEEZE EVERY LAST WAD OF POWER OUT THE BATTERY SYSTEM AND CONSERVE THAT FOR AS LONG AS WE CAN. ON THE FIRST ROVER MISSION. WE ARE BLASTING WHICH IS MUCH EASIER CHALLENGEOLVE THAN WHAT WE ARE DOING HERE AS PAR OF LTBS. THE SECOND ROVER MSION, ALL RIGHT. YOU CAN START LOOKING AT POTENTIALLY LASTING A COUPLE OF NIGHT BY THE TIME YOU GET TO THE THIRD AND FOURTH, THEN WE ARE LOOKING AT OPERATING MONTHS A TIME AUM THE WAY UP TO YEARS AT A TIME DEPENDING IN HOW THEY ARE TEST. ANOTHER MEMBER OF THE TEAM THAT ARE EXCITEDO HAVE IS GM. SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT THEY ARE PROVIDING AS PART OF THIS OVERALL PROGRAM IS THEIR NEW PAT RY TECHNOLOGY COMES WITH MUCH HIGHER ENERGY DENSITY THAT YOU CAN SURVIVE THE EXTREMES OF THE UNAR SURFACES WH A LITTLE BIT OF MODIFCATION BUT IT IS TRULY AMAZING ENERGY STORAGETEK NOLL LE GY THAT WE ARE PROUD TO BE BRINGING IN TO THE ARTEMIS PROGRAM SO OUR TEAM AT DM WILL BE PROVIDING THE BATTERY TECHNOLOGY THEN LOCKHEED MARTIN AND LUNAR OUTPOST WILL BE FIGURING OUT HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF THAT TECHNOLOGY MOVING FORWARD SO WE CANNOT ONLY SURVIVE BUT TRULY OPERATE FOR MANY YEARS AT A TIME DURING THE LUNAR DAY AND LUNAR NIGHT. >> ALL RIGHT. WE'RE BEFO BE OF WE GO THO THE PHONE PRIG, WE'LL TAKE ONE MORE QUESTION FLOOR IN THE ROOM. >> HI. SPACE. I GUESS THIS IS FOR LARA. WHAT KINDS OF KNOWLEDGE AND RESOURCES IS NASA SHARING WITH THESE PROVIDERS TO HELP THE DEVELOPMENT OF THEIR CONCEPT? WE HAV SEEN LIKE WITH EVA'S AXIOM DATA AS WELL AS RESOURCES LIKE THE ARGO SYSTEM TO HELP WITH TESTING AND GRAVITY. CAN YOU PROVIDE INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT SOURCES THEY ARE PROVIDING? THANK YOU. >> YES. WENG A VERY SIMILAR MODEL TO WHAT WE HAD ON -- WE CALL IT EVA ACQUISITION. WE HAD A LUNAR LTV TEAM, WORK WITHIN OUR ENGINEERING DIRECTORATE HERE AT THE JOHNSON SPACE CENTER FOR QUITE SOME TIING PROTOTYPES, UNDERANDING REQUIREMENTS TRYING TO G THE IDEA OF WT THE SYSTEMS MAY LOOK LIKE. WE MAKE ALL THAT OF DATA AVAILABLE TO THESE COMPANIES IN A TECHNICAL LIBRARY FOR THEM TO USE AND LEARN FROM AND LEVERAGE FROM. SO ALL OF THAT DATA IS AVAILABLE. AS WE EXECUTE THIS CONTRACT, WILL HAVE A NASA WHAT WE CALL IN SIGHT TEAM WHICH WIL WORK SIDE PI SIDE WIT THE COMPANIES AGAIN PROVIDING LESSONS LEARNED AND INFORMATION BACK AND FORTH. THEN, ALSO, SIMILAR TO THE EVA CONTRACT, WE WILL UTILIZE WHAT AGREEMENTS.ERNMENT TASK AN SO IT IS PART OF THEIR PROPOSALS THEY ACTUALL PROVIDED, WE GAVE THEM INFORMATION ON WHAT KINDS OF ASSETS, WHETHER IT BE A TESTING FACILITY, MATERIALS, CERTAIN KNOWLEDGE, BE THAT WE HAVE HERE AT THE JOHNSON PACE CENTER THEN ACTUALLY ALL CENTERS ACROSS THE AGENCY WE MADE THAT AVAILABLE TO PROPOSE BACK TO U WHERE THEY WOULD LIKE TO USEHOSE CAPABILITIES, AS PART OF THEIR OVERALL PROPOSALS, SO CERTAINLY, JOHNSON SPACE CENTER HERE HAS A ER? OF FACILITY CAPABILITY. ROW GRAVITY. LUNAR GRAVITY. ZERO AVITY. OFFLOADING SYSMS WE ANTICIPATE THEM TO USE AND VIRTUAL SIMULATION CAPABILITIES AND WE ANTICIPATE THEM TO USE AND THEN OF COURSE, THIS IS WHERE WE WILL BE BRINGING THE SPACESUITS IN AND SPER GRATING THE HUMAN ELEMENT ALONG WITH OUR CREWS AND ENGINEERING TEST SUBJECTS,ND SO ALL OF THAT CAPABILITY IS BEING MADE AVAILABLE TO THEM. AS THEY GO THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS. >> YEAH. I WOULD ANSWER THAT, TOO. FOR INTUITIVE MACHINES AND OUR TEAM, WE MADE EXTENSIVE USE OF THE GTA PROCESSHAT NASA OFRED ACROSS MULPLE CENTERS, AND L THAT IS AMES RESEARCH CENTER OR AUTONOMOUS DRIVING, PATH, PLANNING, THEY HAVE GREAT ALGORITHMS TO DO AT THIS TIME WHETHER IT IS GODDARD SPACEFLIGHT CENTER FOR COMMUNICATIONS OR WHETHER IT IS JOE CENTER FOR THE OFFLOAD SYSTEMS. SO THERE IS QUITE A BIT OF CAPABILITY THE AGENCY WHICH WE PLAN TO LEVERAGE. THAT WAS PART OF THE PROPOSAL AND PRICED ACCORDINGLY. THIS IS A GOVERNMENT AND PRIVATE SECTOR PARTNERSHIP THAT BUILDS THIS LTV AND DELIVERS IT AT THE SURFACE. >> WE HAVE BEEN TESTING OUR LUNAR ENTIRE PROPOE TYPE HERE AT JOSON SPACE CENTE FOR THE LAST YEAR AS WELL AS NASA GLENN TO THE NASA ANNOUNCEMENT OF COLLABORATIVE OPPORTUNITY FO AM PROGRAM. SO SEPARATE FROM LTV, BUT THAT AP LTV.OGY IS GOING TO BE >> YE. >> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. AND JUST AS A REMINDEIF YOU ARE ON-LINE ON THE PHONE PRIG, PLEASE PRESS STAR 1 TO ENTER INTO THE CUE TO ASK YOUR QUESTION. WITH THAT, WE WILL GO TO SPACE NEWS. >> GOOD AFTERNOON. A COUPLE OF QUICK QUESTIONSOR LARA KEARNEY. WHAT IS THE DOLLAR VALUE OF THESE INITIAL TASK ORDERS THIS HE THREE COMPANYING GETTING IN THEN ALSO, HOW MANY PROPOSALS DID NASA RECEIVE FOR THIS? THANKS. >> I THINK AM A PROBABLY GOING TO HAVE TO PASS ON BOTH OF THOSE SINCE WE ARE TECHNICALLY STILL IN A BLACKOUT PERIOD WITH THESE COMPANIES. SO ONCE THAT BLACKOUT PERIOD IS OVER, AND SOURCE SELECTION SAMES ARE RELEASED, I THINK THAT INFORMATION, SOME OF THATINFORME AVAILABLE T >> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU LARA. WE WILL TAKE ATHER QUESTION ON THE PHONE BRIDGE. KENNETH CHANGE WITH "THE NEW YORK TIMES." KENNETH: HI, THANK YOU. SO THE Q HOW MUCH TIME WILL TRE BE FOR OTHER CUSTOMERS TO U THE LTV? HOW DOES IT GO BETWEEN NASA AND THE COMMERCIAL CUSTOMER IF NASA NEEDS FOR THE NEXT ARTEMIS MISSION? HOUGHT ABOUT THAT A LOT, ACTUALLY. HOW WE DEVELOPEDHISFP, WE HAD TO REALLY STRATEGIZE ON DIFFERENT MODELS FOR HOW WE MIGHT ESTABLISH THOSE AGREEMENTS. WE UNDERSTAND AT LEAST -- WE BELIEVE IN THE EARLY PHASE, NASA IS GOING TO HAVE BE AN ANCHOR TENANT THENE HOPE THAT OVER THE TEN-YEAR OPERATING LIFE OF OF THIS VEHICLE, WE CAN START BRINGING IN MORE AND MORE AND MORE COMMERCIAL, UM, I GUESS, REQUESTS AS THE MARKET EVOLVES. SO WE, AS I MENTIONED, WE WILL HAVE THE ONE-YEARERVICE PERIODS, AND WE STARTED A MOD WHERE WL THEIRST SERVICE PERIODS TEND TO BE MORE NASA REQUIREMENT DRIVEN, SO NASA EITHER THROUGH THE SCIENCE REQUIREMENTS OR THE EXPLORATION REQUS WILL CARRY ABOUT 75% OF THE BURDEN OPINION OR SO FREEING UP 25% OF THE CAPACITY FOR OTHER COMMERCIAL USES. WE HAVE OTHER MECHANISMS ON THE CONTRACT WHERE AS WE GO OVER LESS AND LS OF A USER WE CANES OPEN UP MER AND ME OF THAT CAPACITY FOR THE COMMERCL SPACE. WE ALSO PUT PROCESSES ON THE CONTRACT, WHERE WE HAVE SCIENCE AND UTILIZATION TEAMS THAT COME IN AND HELP US UNDER STAN WHAT THECTIVES ARE. WEAVE JOINT AGREEMENTS WITH THE COMPANIES WHERE WE CAN GET TOGETHER AND S OVER THE COURSE OF HE NT, YEAR, THESE ARE WHAT THE OBJECTIVES ARE. THIS IS THE MISSION THAT WE WANT TO MEET. AND NASA ULTIMATELY EVEN THOUGH SHALL ESPECIALLY WHENESRVICE, UM TO CREWED MISONS, CREW SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT, NASA STILL HAS MISSION AUTHORITY AND RISK ACCEPTANCE OVER HOW THIS VEHICLE IS OPERATED ON THE LUNAR SURFACE, SO WE ARE SAID THROUGH THE CONTRACT STRUCTURE, A LOT OF THAT I WLD CALL GOVERNANCE, AUTHITY TO MAKE SURE WERE COLLABORATING WITH THE VENDOR AGENDA ON THE CREW SAFETY AND VEHICLE RELIABILITY. >> AND IF I MAY, WE ARE REALLY APOACH. ABOUT NASA'S SERVICES THAT ALLOWS COMPANIES LIKE OS AND LIKE THE OTHERS ON THE STAGE HERE TODAY TO START BRINGING MORE PEOPLENTO THE LUNAR ECONOMY. SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, THAT NOT WIDELY TALKED, WE ARE NOT A PUBLIC COMPANY, SO WE DON'T HAVE TO DISCLOSE THIS. WE ARE MAJORITY COMMERCIAL REVENUE COMPANY. THAT DOESN'T EXIST 15 YEARS AGO. BUT THROUGH THE NEW OPPORTUNITIES, THAT NASA IS PROVIDING TO COMPANIES LIKE US OURS, WE ARE ABLE TO BRING IN THE NONTRADITIONAL SPACE CUSTOMER, INTERNATIONAL SPACE AGE PHYSICRT OF ARTEMIS ACCORDSHEN ALSO A NEW BLOCK OF NEW SPACE CPANIES THAT ARE HELPING DRIVE VAL UNION THE ECOSYSTEM SO ITS A BEEN EXCITING TWO OUT OF THE FIRST FOUR MISSIONS ARE PHYSICALLY COMMERCIAL. WHERE ONE IS NASA AND THEN THE FOURTH ONE IS INTERNATIONAL SPY. SO WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO TRYING TOCALE THAT AS PART OF THE PROGRAM AND WE ARE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY TO BRING SOME MORE PEOPLE INTO THE OVERALL ECOSYSTEM. >> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU JUSTIN. WE'LL NOW TAKE ANOTHER QUESTION ON THE PHONE BRIDGE. BILL HARDWOOD WITH CBS NEW WANTED TO FOLLOW UP ON MARK'S QUO EARLIER. TRYING TO GET A GENERAL SENSE OF SOME OF THE AT LEAST ASPIRATIONAL GOALS EACH COMPANY HAS. FOR EXAMPLE, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, WHAT KIND OF RANGES A WE TALKING ABOUT? I REALIZEOU DON'T HAVE SOLID ANSWER TO THAT YET, MAYBE CAN YOU BOUND ITOR US AT LEAST. I ASAHM SUM ALL THREE ARE SOLAR POWERED OR ENVISIONING SOLAR PANELS FOR RHARGING OR SOME KIND OF CHARGING STATION THEN MAYBE ANYTHING YOU COULD TELL US ABOUT TIRE TECHNOLOGY. WE ARE FAMILIAR WITH APOLLO 17 AND THE WHEELS THEY HAD BACK THEN. BUT WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT NOW? AND I REALIZE YOU DON'T HAVE SPECIFICS FOR US BUT GIVE US GENERAL IDEAS OF WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT. THANKS. >> WELL, LET ME INTERJECT HERE. BILL, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THIS IS COMPETITIVE, RIGHT? SO WHAT WE DID IS WHAT WE O WE CRAFTED FEASIE EX MIST TENSE PROOF OF A DESIGN TO MEET THE RFP REQUIRE AM AND GO THROUGH A YEARLONG PROCESS NOW TO GET EVENTUALLY A PDR DESIGNORHE ELIVERY TO TH SOUTH POLE AND ALSOOR THE DEMONSTRATION MISSION FOR THAT LTV. THERE IS A NUMBER OF THE SUB SYSTEMS THAT WE PUT IN AS THE INITIAL DESIGN THAT WILL BE TRADED OVER THE 12-MONTHERIOD THAT WILL GIV US A BETTER UNDERSTANDING O THINGS LIK SURVE THE NIGHT, OPERATE DURINGHE NIGHT, HOW EFFECTIVE SOLAR ARRAYS ARE, VERSUS FUEL CELLS AND WHAN THE DRIVE TRAIN NEEDS TO LOOK LIKE. WHAM THE PAT RY LIFE SUSPENSIONS ARE AND WHAT THE SUSPENSION NEED TOES BE AND TIRE WE BROUGHT MICHEN ONBOARD WHICH HAS DONE EXTENSIVE WORK ON LUNAR TIRES WITH THE GLENN RESEARCH CENTER SO THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS. SO ALOTE OF THIS WORK, WE HAVE ANSWERS TO. EVEN OUR SPARRING TRAGEDY, THAT WILL ALLOW TOXTEND THE RANGE, AND GAIN GREAT AND GREATER CAPABILITY UT OF THE LTV AS WE LEARN ABO PIT AND REFINE THE DESIGN. THAT IS WHAT THE FIRST DESIGN DEVELOPMENT SEASON OF 16 MONTHS IS ALL ABOUT. SO I DON'T WANT TO GIVE YOU SPECIFIC NUMBERS BECAUSE WE WILL WORK AS HARD AS WE CAN TO EXCEED THE REQUIREMENTS THAT THE GOVERNMENT HAS ASKED US TO DO. BECAUSE IT IS IN THE BEST INTEREST AS A COMMERCIAL BUSINESS TO HAVE MORE CAPABILITY TO PROVIDE THE COMMERCIAL AND INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS. >> YEAH. I MEAN, AS STEVE SAID, IT IS A ION. HOLDING THE NUMBERS A LITTLE BIT CLOSE BUT I CANAY GOODYEAR TIREECHNOLOGY ISWESOME. I AM EXCITED TO SEE HOW THEY CAN BRING THE TECHNOLOGY WE ARE USING AS PART OF LTV BACK DOWN HERE TO EARTH. I WANT TO SET OF THOSE TIRES FOR MY OWN OFFOAD VEHICLE BUT HPE NY YOU WL SEE COOL PICTURES. I DO TNK WE HAVE THEM AS WELL. SO HAP I TO SHARE THAT PUBLICLY BUT THE TIRE TECHNOLOGY TRULY IS A STEP FORWARD FOR EXPLORING OTHER PLANETARY BODIES. >> YEAH. I WILL SAY AT AS STROH LAB WE ARE HARDWARE-RICH AND DESIGN APPACH KIND OF A COMPA. WE BUILD A FULL-SCALE, FULLY-FUNCTIONAL PROTOTYPE OVER TWO YEARS NOW AND HAE BEEN DOING THOUSANDS OF HOURS EVER TESTING IN THE FIELD WITH IT. WE FREQUENTLY TAKE IT OUT TO THE DEATH VALLEY AREA IN CALIFORNIA AND THAT ALLOWED US TTRESS THE HARDWARE AND ACTUALLY TRY US E OUT OUR TIRE PROTOTYPES IN THE REA WORLD ENVIRONMENT AS WELL AS IN OUR ENVIRONMENT ALE CHAMBERS WE HAVE AT OUR COMPANY. AND SO, SO OUR TIRE TECHNOLOGY HAS ACTUALLY ALREADY BEEN IN THERUM CHAMB ITS ON THE ENDURANCE TT RIG A NASA GLENN AROUND SO WE ARE MING INTO THIS WITH A LOT EX PIERCE AEADY WITH THE TECHNOLOGIES WHERE WE ARE PLANNING TO APPLY HERE. LIKE MY COLLEAGUES HERE, KNOW, WE INTEND TO EXCEED NASA'S REQUIREMTS AND I CAN TELL YOU YOU KNOW, SOME OF THOSE REQUIREMENTS ARE IT TRAVELED 15-KILOMETERS AND HOUR AND BE ABLE TOLL TRA VERSION OMETERS IN YOU KNOW, BE ABLE TO SUPPORT A FULL EIGHT-HOUR EV SO ALL OF THOSE ARE THE BASE-LEVEL REQUIREMENT AND IENTION TO SUCCEED THOSE BY QUITE A LOT IN MOST INSTANCES. ALL RIGHT THANK YOU, JARRETT. WE WILL TAKE ANOTHER QUESTION IN THE ROOM. >> HI. THIS IS ERIC AGAIN. A QUESTIONOR YOU JACOB OR LARA. UM, I WANT TO GET A SENSE FROM YOU. WHETHER YOU THINK THE COMMERCIAL SPACE INDUSTRY IS READY TO STEP UP TO THE CHALLENGE? THE INITIAL LUNAR ROVER FROM APOLLO LASTED FOR A FEW DAYS. AND NOW ASKING FOR SOMETHING TO LAST FOR TEN YEARS. IN A VERY HARSH ENVIRONMENT, HAVENNER THAN THE APOLLO MISSIONS WERE. AND LIKE A HUGE KINDS OF QUANTUM STEP. AND SO, FIRST QUESTION IS JUST GIVE ME A LITTLE BIT OF PHILOSOPHY ABOUT WHY YOU THINK THE INSTRY IS READY T TAKE THAT SP. SECONDLY, I CAN'T TO CONFIRM, THIS IS PLAED TO BE LAND PRIOR TO THE THIRD LANDING ON THE MOON, PROBABLY ARTEMIS 5 BUT THE MISSION, IS THAT RIGHT? >> SO I WILL ASK AND ANSWEHE SECOND PART. 1:00 AGAIN, UNDER THIS CONTRT, THEY HAVE PROPOSED THEIR OWN MECHANISM F LANDING ON THE MOON. SO IT IS NOT REALLY TIED TO THE ARTEMIS HUMAN MISSIONS. OUR OBJECTIVE AND THE PLAN IS TO HAVE LTV ON THE SURFACE PRIOR TO THE ARTEMIS CREW ARRIVAL. THEY CAN GET THERE EARLIER WE'LL TAKE IT EARLIER. IF IT IS THERE FOR THE ARTEMIS 4 CREW, ALL THE BETTER. AND CERTAINLY AS SOON ON THE SURFACE IT CAN START DOING UNMANNED OPERATED SCIENCE SO AGAIN NOT FUNDAMENTALLY LINKED AND TIED TO THE PACIFIC ARTEMIS MISSION. PACIFIC ARTEMIS MISSION NECESSARY. AS FAR AS WHETHER THEY ARE UP TOP THE CHALLENGE, UM A, AGAIN, I MENTIONED WE SPENT QUITE A BIT OF TIME GATHERING INDUSTR DATA THROUGH REQUEST FOR INFORMATION AND TRYING TOUND STAN WHERE WE WHAT THE CAPABILITIES WERE.AS, I KNOW WE HE R ASKING A LOT OF THE COMPANIES, UM, WITH YOU I THINK AS YOU HEAR THESE EMEN TALP THE CHALLENGE AND WE ARE CERTAINLY HERE TO HELP THEM BE SUCCESSFUL. >> I WOULD ADD A COMMENT TO THAT IN TERM OF A LUNAR ECONOMY. A COMMERCIAL ECONOMY. YOU KNOW, IF YOU DOVETAIL THIS WITH THE COMMERCIAL LUNAR PAYLOAD SERVICE CONTRACT WE NOW ARE SET FOR ANNUAL CADENCE OF MISSION DELIVERIESES TO THE SURFACE OF THE MOON. WE HAD OUR FIRST SUCCESSFUL MISSION. WE HAVE MORE ONE YEAR. THEN, ANOTHER ONE EARLY NEXT YEAR PROBABLY. THAT SETS UP FOR THAT RIVER THIS RY AG OFF OF THEORE F THAT, UM, THAT EXPERIENCE, WE CAN CONTINUE TO EVOLVE THE LANDER TECHNOLOGY TO THE POINT WE CAN GET A RELIABLE DELIVERY SYSTEM CALLED NOVA D WHICH TAKES 1500 METRIC TONS, 1.5 METRIC TONS TO THE SURCE OF THE SOUTH POLE SO DELIVERY ISHERE RIGHT. IT WILL BE THERE BUIING ON WHAT NASA HAS ALREADY DONE TO IN CI FATE THE COMMERCIAL MARKET NOW THE STRESSOR REQUIREMENT THAT LAR ARE AND THE TEAM PUT OUT ABOUT THE TEN-YEAR SURVIVAL, N BE SOLVED IN MANY MONEY DIFFERENT WAYS, SO THINKING INNOVATIVELY ABOUT HO TO DO THAT SHALL BE WHERE DOVETAILING THAT WITH A SPARING STRATEGY, NOW IF YOU A REGULAR CADENCE EMISSIONS YOU HAVE A COMMERCIALIZATION PLAN WE ARE WHERE WE ARE SEEKING COMMERCIAL BUSINESS TO AUGUST WHAM THE GOVERNMENT ANCHOR IS THEN YOU SAY ON TOP OF THT. I CAN DELIVER. I CAN DELIVER SPARES. I CAN DELIVER ADDITIONAL ROVERS. WHATEVER IT NEEDS TO SURVIVE THAT TEN-YEAR REQUIREMENT. VERSUS DO I HAVE TO INVENT SOMETHING BRAND-NEW WHEREV COMPONENT INCLUDING BEARINGS, SUSPENSION, BATTERIES SURVIVE TEN YEARS SO SOME OF THAT THINKING HASONE AND IN AND YOU HAVE NOT SEEN. >> YEAH. I AGREE WITH STEVE. WHOLEHEARTEDLY. I THINK BECAUSE LTV EXIST A PART OF TUGH ARTEMIS ECOSYSTEM WE ARE ABLE TO LEVERAGE THE OTHER OPPORTUNITIES WHETHER IT IS PART OFHE ECLIPSE PROGRAM TO IMPROVE THE SFACE OF THE MACHINOR WHETHER IT IS TO LEVERAGE HIGH DEGREES OF HERITAGE OVER THE PARTNERS AND THAT TESTING THAT WE CAN DO HERE ON THE LUNAR SURFACE THAT IS FOG HAPPEN AS PART OFHE OTHER PROGRAMS AS WELL. THAT IS SOMETHING APOLLO DIDN'T HAVE WHEN APOLLO WAS PUTTING ON THE LUN SURFACE, IT WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT RER WAS ON THE LUNAR SURFACE THE FIRST TIME THAT WAS ON THE SURFACE OF THE SO ABLE TO TEST OUT NOT ONLY THE TIRES WHICH I MENTIONED EARLIER, TIRES, ON IN A VACUUM RE ON EARTH BUT ABLE TO PUT THEM ON THE SURFACE OF THE MOON UNDERSTAND HOW THEY SPER ACT WITH THAT AND WHAT THAT WEAR IS GOING TO BE LIKE OVER TIME THAT PROVIDES US A LOT MORE DALT TA AND THEN ALLOT MORE IMAGINE ON HOW TO MEET THE DIFFICULT REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE PART OF THE LT PROGRAM SO PAUSE OF THAT ARTEMIS ECOSYSTEMHAT ALLOWS USES TO HAVE A MUCH HIGHER DEGREE OF CONFIDENCE ONCE WE PUT THIS LTV ON THE LUNAR SURFACE. >> YEAH. THEN AGAIN, I WOULD LIKE TO COME MEN NASA FOR THE PROCESS HERE. MAYBE PEOPLE ARE NOT AWAREUT THE FIRST REQUEST FOR INFORMATION CAME OUT IN EARLY 2020. THERE IS ANOTHER ONE IN 2021 AND A DRAFT AND ET CETERA. WE WERE ENGAGED IN THAT CONVERSATION ALL ALONG AND THEY HAS REALLY THINK TAKEN THE HEART OF THE INDUSTRY INPUT NOT JUST AND REQUIREMENTS ABOUT YOU ON THE COMMERCIAL CONSTRAINTS WE ARE OPERATING UNDER AND ALLOWING FOR COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY ON THE MISSIONS SO REALLY APPRECIATE WE HAVE SIMILAR TRAGEDY WHERE YOU KNOW, WE HAVE ALREADY SIGNED AN AGREEMENT TOLL GO TO THE MOON IN 2026 TO PROVE OUT THE COMRCIAL MODEL ANDAST YEAR ANNOUNCED A NUMBER OF COMPANIES SIGNED UP TO GO WITH US ON THAT MISSION. AND, AND, THAT MISSION OF COURSE WILL BE A PRECUO LTVS AND, UM, AND ALLOW US TO LEARN AND AND IMPROVE THE SYSTEM BEFORE IT SERVES THE ARTEMIS CAMPAIGN. >> AGAIN. I WILL ADD A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE POINT ABOUT THE HARSHNESS OF THE ENVIRONMENT. POLAR REGIONS THAT ARE EXTREMELY HARSH. THEY ARE PERMANENT HAD DOES DOES WHERE WE NEVER SEE SUNLIGHT BUT THERE ARE OTHER ASPECTS TO THE SOUTH POLE, THAT WE UNDERSTAND BECAUSE OF THE OBSERVATIONS WE HAVE MADE OVER THE LAST SER ARE SEVERAL DEC THEUNAR RECONNAISSANCE O BITTER LOOKING AT THE MOON FOR 2009, AND WE HAVE LEARNED TREMENDOUS AMOUNT AND SO, I THINK WE NEED TO BE CAREFUL WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE SOUTH POLE AS BEING HANKER THAN ELSEWHERE ON THE MOON. THERE ARE SOME ASPECTS IN THE REASON WE ARE GONG TO THE SOU POLE THERE ARE SOME AT R BUTTES THAT MAKET EASIER, SO WE OFTEN HEAR PACK TALKING ABOUT SURVIVING THE DAY, WELL, A LUNAR DAY IN THE SOUTH POLE CAN BE HUNDREDS OF EARTH DAYS DEPENDING WHERE ON YOU GO. SEVERAL DECADES THAT REALLYHAT T ENABLES TO US TAKED A RANGE TAGE OF THE LUNAR ENVIRONMENT T OUR BENEFIT. THAT DATA HELPED US DEVELOP REQUIREMENTS AND THE SAME DATA THAT IS AVAILABLE TO ALL THE TEAMS TO ALSO DETERMINE HOW THEY WANT TO GO ABOUT THIS AND THANKED THEM FOR BRINGING IN KNOW VISION AND CREATIVITY TO THIS AND WHY WE ARE APPROACNG THIS THE WAY WE ARE. WE WANT TO HEAR THESE DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS SETS SO WE CAN TAK ADVANTAGE OF THE MOON. SO INSTEAD OF VIEWING THE MOON AS HARSH ENVIRONMENT THAT IS DIFFICULT I WOULD SUGGESTS THAT MAYBE WE VIEW THE ADVANTAGES WE CAN USE TO OUR BEFIT AT THE POLAR REGION, AGAIN, THAT LIGHTING, IT CAN BE HARD, IF YOU GO INTO THE DARK PLACES, BUT IT CAN BE EASIER IF WE ARE TALKING ADVANTAGE OF PLACES LONGER ACCESSING TO LIGHT. AND SO, I THINK WHAT THE KNOWLEDGE WE HAVE GAINED AND THE KNOWLEDGE THAT IS AVAILAB TO THEM YOU KNOW, I AM CONFIDENT IN WHAT WE CAN DO MOVING FORWARD. >> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU JAKE. WE WILL TAKE ANOTHER QUESTION HERE IN THE ROOM. >> HI. THANK YOU. WITH THE UNDERSTANDING EARLY IN THE DESIGN PHASE, MAN FEATURES MAY BE SUBJECT TO CHANGE, MAYBE YOU DON'T WANT TO SHOW THE CARDS YET. IF YOU COULD, WHAT NEWER INNOVATIVE CAPABILITIES IS EACH PROVIDER EXCITED ABOUT? HOW DO YOU SEE THAT HELPING THE VEHICLE CONTRIBUTING TO THE PRESENCE LONG TERM? ANK YOU. >> IL WILL START. >> I DIDN'T HEAR THE WHOLE QUESTION. >> SORRY. >> WHAT CAPABITY ARE YOU MOST EXCITED ABOUT PROVIDING THAT MAY BE NEWER, INNOVATIVE OR DIFFERENT IF YOU CAN SHARE. STENNABLE PRESS SINCE IN THE THE LONG TERM? >> FOR ME, WILL LEAD OFF AND HAVEY FELLOW AWARDEES TALK. I HAVE A TRAGEDY IN INTUITIVE MACHINES WHERE WE DO NOTING A DATE THE RISK INTO A SINGLE LAUNCH SO WHAT BY PE VIDING COMPONENTS AT A CERTAIN SIZE IN ECONOMY YOU AN AUALLY MAKE MORE PROGRESS ALONG THE WAY, SO LO I TALKED TO THE ANNUAL CADENCE OF MISSIONS WE CAN TALK ABOUT RESUPPLY. WE CAN TALK THE DELIVERY OF OMPOF SYSTEMS, AND THAT FEED THE BROADEHE. >> CO SYSTE OR THE BROADER ECONOMY SO IF YOU HAVE LLS OR STARSHIP LAUNCHO THE SURFACE. YOU TEND TO AC GATE RISK IN THAT ONE VEHICLE. IN THIS CASE WHAT WE DO IS BUILD AARGO VARIANT LOOK THE REGIONAL DELIVERY IN AIRCRAFT OR THE AMAZON REG REGIONAL FAN VANS A TRACTOR-TRAILER DOESN'T PULL UP TO THE HOUSE AND DELIVER A PACKAGE A REGIONAL VAN DOES. SO TAKING THE REGIONAL DELIVERY APPROACH IN ARCHITECTURE MEANS WE HAVE LOWERED THE RISK NASA, WE HAVEOWERED THE COST OF ACCESS TO THE LUNAR SURFACE AND WE ACTUALLY ALLOWED MORE PARTICIPANTS IN THE LUNAR ECONOMY. THAT IS WHAT I AM MOST PROUD OF. >> YEAH. SO I THINK THE ASPECT OF OUR DESIGN THAT I AM MOST EXCITED ABOUT AND THE NAME, FLE IS WE HAVE A NOVEL MODULAR PAYLOAD CAPABILITY. THAT ALLOWS US TO CHANGE OUT DIFFERENT CARGO, DIFFERENT IMPLEMENTS AND DIFFERENT CUSTOMER AND SERVE MULTITUDE OF USE CASES A GAI TO REALLY SERVE ECONOMY, YOU KNOW INTHE LUNAR ECONOMY AND THE LUNAR SURFACE IS GOING TO NEED NOT JUST ROVERS BUT POWDER DISTRICIANBUTION LANDING PADS, BERMS,ED RADIOS, HABITT CETERA. WE REDEVELOPING A PLATFORM THAT CAN SUPPORT ALL OF THOSE USE SES AS WE GO FORWARD. I PRIOR TO STARTING ARO LAB, I WORKED AT SPACEX, WORKED ON STARSHIP, REALLY GOT EXCITED ABOUT THE CAPABILITY AND JUST THE SHEER TONNAGE THAT WILL SOON BE ABLE TO BRING TO THE LUNAR BUT THE OTR ECLIPSEANDERSSHIP ANDHE OTHER HLS LANNERS AND WORK, AND SOON, ACCESSES TO THE LUNAR SURFACE IS GOING TO TRANSITION FROM ONCE A DECADE, A FEW TENS OF DILL L GRAMS TO ONCE A MONTH, HOPEFULLY, WITH HUNDREDS OF TONS, AND SO, WE ARE AT A POINT INst RY, NOW SHALL ARE WHERE YOU CAN ACTUALLY START TO COMPLIMENT, INDUSTRIAL SCALE ACTIVITY HAPPENING AT THE LUNAR SOUTH POLE AND TRYING TO BUILD A PLATFORM TO SUPPORT IT. >> AND I WILL CHIME IN. SPOKE PRETTY AWESOMELY WITH THE OPPORTUNITY THAT IS AHEAD OF US IF WEO THIS RIGHT. TO TALK TO THE QUESTION ABOUT TECHNOLOGIES THAT WE ARE MOST EXCITED ABOUT. I MENTIONED THE BATTERIES EARLIER. I THINK THAT IS A CRITICALLY IMPORTANT PARTO SOLVE AS PART OF THE WHOLE ARTEMIS ECOSYSTEM NOT JUST THE LTV 1:00 PROGRAM SO EXCITED ABOUT THOSE AND DM AND TALKED THE TRES. BUT TWO OF THEM THAT I DID NOT MENTION AND THESE ARE ACTUALLY QUITE COOL AND DRIVEN BY THOUGH REQUIREMENTS THAT NASA PROVIDEDP ONE REQUIREMENT WE HAVE ISE CANNOT HAVE MORE THAN TEN MERSER OR ON HE LUNAR SURFACE AT ANY GEN TIME. THIS IS WITHOUT ANY INFRASTRUCTURE IN PLACE. WE DON'T HAVE GPS AROUND THE MOON. WE DON'T HAVE COMMUNICATION INFRASTRUCTURE. ERSTAND OUR ENVIRONMENT AND UNDERSTAND OUR VEHIE DYNAMICS TOPPOINT THAT WE KNOW ECTLY WHERE WE ARE IN THE LUNAR SURFACE. NOW THAT IS NOT ONLY CRITICAL FOR ASTRONAUT SAFETY ARE SAFETY, BUT GOING TO BE A PRETTY AWESOME TK TECHNOLOGY THAT I THINK WE CAN BRING BACK TO EARTH THAT HOPEFULLY HELPS DRIVE THE ADOPTI OF AUTONOMOUS CARS IN THE FUTURE AND HELPS DRIVE SELF-DRIVING CARS AND VEHICLES NOT ONLY ON THE ROADS BUT IN SOME O THESE UNCONSTRAINED AND UNDEFINED ENVIRONMENTS SOS THAT THE THIRD. THE FOURTH IS REMOTE OPERATIONS BEEN A PRETTY DIFFICULT PROBLEM TO SOLVE IN THE MINING AND RESOURCES INDUSTRY RE BROADLY. REMOTE OPERATIONS, DURING THAT TELEOPERATION PHASE OF THE PROGRAM, HAS TO BE PRETTY CLEAN. RIGHT. YOU CANNOT BE DROPPING AND THE VECLE AND THIS IS YOU KNOW, A PRETTY EXPENSIVE ASSET ON THE SURFACE OF THE MOON BUT AT THE SAME TIME, IT IS PRETTY CRITICAL TO ALL OF THE COMMERCIAL BUSINESS PLANS TO HAVE THIS OPERATING FOR YEARS AT TIME ON THE LUNAR SURFACE SO YOU DON'T WANT TOP HIT A R? THAT IS NOT SOM WANT TO DO. SO YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO OPERATE IN A WAY THAT PROVIDES SITUATIONAL AWARENESS, REMOTELY DRIVING HERE ON EARTH OR BIBLE TOLL OPERATE AUTONOMOUSLY ON THE SURFACE OF THE MOON. ONE THUNAR OUTPOST DID LAST WEEK IS REMOTELY ERATE THE TRAIL BLAZER ROVER FRO HEREN THE UNITED STATES. THAT WAS ACTUALLY FROM OUR COLORADO OFFICES WHICH WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT. SO WE ARE STARTING TO TAKE BITES OFF OF THOSE RITE CALL TECHNOLOGIES THAT NEED TO BE PART OF THIS PROGRAM. BEFORE WE HAVE EVEN GOTTEN STARTED HERE BUT I DO ALAUD THE NASA TEAM F PUTTI THESE REQUIREMENTS IN POLICE TO HELP PUSH FORWARD THE CUTTING EM TECHNOLOGY BECAUSE FROM IS A LOT OF COOL TECH COMING OFF OF THIS. AWESOME. >> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. WELL WE'LL GO THOUG P BRIDGE WITH WILL ROBINSON STH OF SPACEFLIGHT NOW. >> YES. HI. THANKS FOR TAKING OUR QUESTION TODAY. REALLY APPRECIATE. A QUESTION FOR LARA KEARNEY IF I MAY. I BELIEVE TOYOTA IS ALSO ENVELOELOPING IS OWN HUMAN VERSION OF LAR CRUISER ROVER SO I WAS CURIOUS WASHAT FACTORED INTO THE AWARD DECISION TODAY? WAS THAT OPERATING ON COMPLETELY SEPARATE CONTRACT THAT WILL EVENTUALLY WEAVE TO THE ARTEMIS PROGRAM DOWN THE ROAD SO TO SPEAK K? >> THANKS. >> YEAH. I BELIEVE, YOU BROKE UP AIT AT BEGINNING. I BELIEVE YOUSKED ABOUT TOYOTA AND THE LANEAR CRUISER? THAT IS WHAT I HEARD YOU SAY? >> YES. >> OK. OK. YES. AIN, KIND OF BACK TOW WHERE I STARTED AGAIN. WE HAVE WITHIN T SCOPE OFY PROGRAM, TH THIS UNWERE SHALL SHOWERRIZED ROVER, UNPRESSURIZED ROVER WE'RE AND THE PRESSURIZED ROVER AND THE LUNAR CRUISER THAT YOU SEE IF YOU GO GOOG IT ON THE TOYOTA PRESSURIZED VEHICLE. MANAGING WITHIN THE PROGRAM. THE IDEA IS THAT THEY WORK GETHER. AS A PART OF, AGAIN, A LUNE A ARE SYSTEM, TO SUPPORT THE CREW. LTV IS UNPRESSIZED IT WILL LIKELY BE MOREIMITED AND ITS RANGE A PRESSURIZED ROVER WHEN IT COMES ALONG WITH THE LIFE SUPPORT WILL BE ABLE TO EXTEND THE CRUISE RANGE EVEN FURTHER AWAY FROM A LANDER, SO OUR CONCEPT IS THAT, THE UNPRESSURIZED LTV THE PRESSURED VEHICLE WORK TOGEER IN SOME TYPE OF OPERATIONAL CONCEPT. TO SUPPORT THE CREWS AND THE SCIENTIFIC MISSIONS. I AM PROBABLY GOING TO LEAVE IT A THAT. I WOULD JUST MENTION WE DO HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT A WEEK FROM NOW RELED TO THE PRESSURIZED ROV, SO WE'LL BE ABLE TO TALK TO YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT IN A WEEK OR SO. >> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. WE'LL TAKE OUR NEXT QUESTION FROM MARSHA SMITH WITH SPACE POLICY OLINE.COM. >> THANKS SO MUCH FOP FOR TAKING MY QUESTION. AT THIS TIMES FOR LARA. THE PRESS RELEASE SAYS THE COMBINED MAXIMUM POTENTIAL VALUE OF THIS IS 4.6 BILLION. COULD YOU TALK ABOUT THE THAT IS BETWEEN NOW AND024 WHEN YOU EXPECT ARTEMIS 5 TO LAND, ABOUT A ARE BECAUSE YOU ARE THINKING THE FIRST TIME TO LAND. HOW MUCH OF THAT IS FOR THIS INITIAL ONE YEAR PART OF THE EFFICIENT? >> YES. SO THAT, SO THE LIFE OF THE CONTRACT, I WILL QUOTE IT. HOPEFULLY GET IT RHT. WILL WORK AT THE SHARE SO WE SET, IT IS CAN IA LONG CONTRACT. IS UP TO 15 YEARS. IT IS BASED ON A FIVE-YEAR DEVELOPMENT PLUS THE TEN-YEAR OPERATING PHASE THAT WE VERY BEEN TAKENNING. SO THAT CONTRAC VALUE NUMR THAT YOU SEEOVERS THE ENTIRE CONTRACTCOPE OVER 15 YEARS. AND, DON'T CONFUSE CONTRACT VALUE NECESSARILY WITH BUDGET. IS JUST A NUMBER, THAT IS ON THE CONTRACT THAT WE CAN GO THAT WE ARE AUTORIZED TO PUT THE TASK ORDERS O UP TO AS OBJECTIVES COME ON AND WE WANT TO POTENTIALLY BRING NEW TASK ORDERS TO THE CONTRACT. EE ARE FEASIBILITYHASE THAT IS UPFRONT IS ONLY A SMALL FRACTI I WOULDAY OF THE OVERALL CTS. IT IS AGAIN ALL OF THESE COMPANIES HAVE PROTOTYPES THAT THEY ALREADY HAVE IN PLACE AND THEY ARE WORKING THE FIRST FEASIBILITY PHASE IS REAL ABOUTAPER PRODUCTS AND MAKG SURE WE CAN GET TO A PLACE WHE NASA CAN UNDERSTAND HOW WELL THEY AREEETING OUR REQUIRE AMS SO THE FIRST PHASE IS REALLY NOT AS SIGNIFICANT OVERALL PIECE OF THAT COST THE DEMONSTRATION PHASE IS QUITE A BIT CHUNK THEN OF COURSE YOU KNOW, TEN YEARS OF OPERATING SERVICES AS WELL. SO I THINK, HOPEFULLY THAT ANSWERS THE QUESTION. >> ALL RIGHT THANK YOU LARA. BILLION'S GO TO JIM SIEGEL WELL NOR DAR MEDIA NOW. >> HI, EVERYBODY. THANKSSTION. I WAS ACTUALLY GOING TO ASK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PRESSURIZED SYSTEM, SO YOU ALREADY ANSWERED THAT LARA. BUT DY WANT TO KNOW FROM EACH ONE OF THE THREE AWARD EESLY HOE GOING TO BE WORKING ON THIS PROJECT FOR EACH ONE OF YOUR ORGANIZATIONS? ARE WE TAKENNING ABOUT 16 OR 15 OR 500 OR WHAT? COULD YOU PECK SPECULATE ON WHAT THAT MAY BE BE? THANK YOU. >> WELL I WOULD SAY THE FIRST PHASE IS SIGNIFICANTLY LIMITED AS LARA IICATED WRE IT IS REALLY A FEASIBILITY OF DESIGN AND DESIGN MAT RACIAL TO PREMINARY DESIGN REVIEW AND SO, THE WAY WE TRAJIZE ABOUT THAT WE ARE CERTAINLY GOING TO USE ALL THE TEAM MEMBERS TO PROGRAMMINTHE TALENTS TO BEAR AND WITH HALF DOZEN TM MEMBERS, THE NUMBERS CAN QUICKLY, HOWEVER, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE MANAGE THAT TEAM SIZE EFFECTIVELY IN THE BEGINNING AND REALL YOU KNOW, WHAT -- HOW WE REMEETING REQUIREMENTS, HOW WE REMEETING THE SAFETY NDS, AND LIABILITY NEEDS OF WHAT NASA ASKED US BEFORE THE TEAM RAMPS UP TO THE FULL DEVELOPMENT CYCLE SO YOU WILL SEE, A BELL CURVE KINDHAPE IN OUR MANWER WHERE WE START OUT WITH A SMALL TEAM. THEN ONCE WE GET TO THE FULL ALE DEVELOPMENT FOR THE DEMONSTRATION MISSION, SHOULD BE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO WIN THAT, WE'LL RAMP UP SIGNIFICANTLY TO DELIVER THAT SYSTEM. >> AWESOME. YEAH. HAPPY TO CHIME IN. SO OUR COMPANY ABOUT 85 FOLKS WE HAVE 100 THAT WE REGOING TO BE AT THE END OF NEXT QUARTER BUT I WILL SAY, WE HAVE BENEFIT OF HAVING TRULY AMAZING PARTNERS IN LOCKHEED MARTIN, GENERAL MOTOR, THOSE COMPANIES IS ACH ONF THIS.ROW SERIOUS RESOURCES AT I WILL SAY, ALTHOH OUR TEAM IS 85 PEOPLE. WE ARE 85 PEOPLE THAT FOCUS SOLELY ON MOBILITY, ROBOTIC SYSTEMS FOR SPACE AND EXTREME ENVIRONMENTS SO WOWING ENTIRE TEAM AT THIS. EVERYTHING WE HAVE. E WILL BE BRINGING O MORE A PLUSALENT S JUST A QUICK PLUG IF YOU WANT A JOB YOU KNOW, SHOOT US YOUR RESUME. WE ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR REALLY AWESOME PEOPLE HERE IN HOUSTON AND ALSO DENVER COLORADO. WE ARE SIMILAR SCALE TO OUTPOST. AND OF COURSE HAVE PARTNERS AND AND CERTAINLY ACCESS OF 400 IN THE FIRST YEAR WORKING ON THIS AND THIS IS OUR SOLE FOCUS OF THE COMPANY. WE ARE DEVELOPING OUR CMERCIAL PLATFORM, REGARDLESS SO WE ARE ALL IN ON THIS SOLUTION ANDND AND SO IT IS, UM, YOU KNOW, SIMILAR TO AS YOU SAID, OF COURSE IF WE ARE AWARDED, WE'LL HAVE GREAT AS LL. BUT THIS IS OUR ENTIRE FOCUS. YOU KNOW, WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING CLOSELY WITH NASA AND THAT FOCUS TO THIS PROGRAM.Y, >> ALL RIGHT THANKOU. WE ARE GOING TO GO TO THE LAST QUESTION ON THE PHONE BRIDGE WITH RYAN CANTON OF NASA SPACEFLIGHT NOW. >> THANK YOU. I AM INTERESTED IN THE REMOTE YOU MENTIONED.S OPERATON THAT IT ISES THAT PURELY FOR MOVING THE VEHICLE BETWEEN DIFFERENT LANDING SITES? OR WILL THEY BE ABLE TO HOST SITES PAYLOADS AND IF CAN HOST SCIENCE PAYLOADS ARE THEY INTERCNGEABLE BY TRONAUT OR ARE THEY GOINGO BE FIXED THINKING OF ME MARS RECOVERER WE HAVE. THANK YOU. >> YEAH. THAT IS A WONDERFUL QUESTION. THE EXPECTATION IS THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO HOST SCIENTIFIC PAYLOAD ON THE LTV AND THAT WE COULD USE THOSE PAYLOADS TO CONDT SCIENTIFIC RSEARCH BETWEEN THE TIME PERIODS THAT THE ASTRONAUTS ARE THERE. YOUR QUESTION WAS FOCUS ON THE TELEROBOTTIC PHASE. SO THE GOAL IS TO IN ABLE TO CONDUCT RESEARCH WITH ASTRONAUTS AND MOVE ASTRONAUTS AROUND, HELP THEM GET TO LOCATIONS THEY WOULD THEN CONDU CONTINUEDE TO REA EXPLORATION AND SCIENCE AFTER THEY DEPARTED SO THE PAYLOADS WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE YET. WE WILL BE WORKING WITH OUR DIRECTORS ACROSS NASA TO IDENTIFY THAT AND BUT, BUT ROVERS THEMSELVES AND AONE ELSE CAN CHIME IN HERE ARE LIKELY TO HAVE A SUITE OF SENSORS TO HELP WITH THAT TELEROBOTTIC ACTIVITY SO THEY WILL BE EXPLORINGTHEN THAT YOU INS WRE AND COLLECTINGSEE KNOWDGE AND COLLECT RECONNAISSANCE AND YOU HEARD THEM HINTING ABOUT THIS THE SPIRIT OF BUILDING STEPS TO LEARN HOW TO DO THIS WORK AND THE SCIENCE KNOWLEDGE IS KIND OF A BACKBONE THAT WE HAVE AND WE TACKED EARLIER ABOUT T ENVIRONMENT AND HOW MUCH WE HAV LEARNED ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT OVER THE LAST SEVERAL DECADES AND THIS IS JUST A CONTINUATION OF THAT EFFORT TO CONTINUE LEARNING AND THE CAPABILITIES WE REQUESTED FOR THE VEHICLES ARE TO BE ABLE TO HOST THOSE PAYLOADS THENPORT THE ASTRONAUTS WHEN THIS RE THERE. YEAH. WITH THE TERRERIAL PROTOTYPE WE ACTUALLY ALSO BUILD A TWO AND A HALF METERONG SIX DEGREE FREEDOM WITH ROBOTIC ARM AND ALLOWED US EVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS TO PRACTICE DOING SCIENCE OPERATIONS DEPLOYING INSTRUMENTS THEN CO LEDGING SAMPLES AND WE DO THAT RETUNELY AND DO IT REMOTELY AS WELL OPERATING FROM OURISSION CONTRO CENTER AND HAWTHORNE, CALIFORNIA. AND SO, SO, YOU KNOW, WE ARE ALREADY ON THAT PATH TO REALLY GET THOUGH MOST OUT OF THE VEORDER T ENHANCE THE SIRENS RETURN OF THE ARTEMIS CAMPAIGN. YEAH. >> ARE YOU GOING TO GO? >> HAPPY TO JUMP IN. THINK OBVIOUSLY THE COOLEST THING ABOUT LTBS PROGRAM AND CONTRIBUTIOADER MOBILITY FOR ASTRONAUT ON THE LUNAR SURFACE AND THAT IS NUMBER ONE OF THEM WHAT IS REALLY EXCITING THOSE THOUGH, THERE ARE MULTIPLE OTHER GOALS ANDN JEKTIVES THAT WE CAN SOLVE WITH THIS MAT FORM WITH THIS LTV THAT ARE INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT TO SUSTAINABILITY THEEW SYSTEM AND OUR ECONOMY AND BUILDING ON THE MOON, WHETHER IT IS PROSPECTING AND SAMPLING RESOURCES, OR WHETHER IT IS PERFORMING THESE ENHANCED SCIENCE MISSION OBJECTIVES, THAT THE NASA FOLKS ARE JUST TALKING ABOUT AND IT REALLY IS ARULY CAPABLE VEHICLE AND REALLY EXCITED TO SEE WHAT THE VEHLE IS GOING TO DO ONHE LUNAR SURFACE. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THAT IS ALL THE TIME WE HAVE FOR TODAY. THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN TO ALL THE BRIEFER FOS ARE THEIR TIME AND CON PROGRAM LATION INTUITIVE MACHINE, LUNAR OUTPOST ANDSTRO LAB WEO HOPE THAT YOUILL NTINUE TO FOLLOW ALONG WITH NASA'S ARTEMIS CAMPAIGN, AT NASA. GOV/ARTEMIS. AS THAT WILL WRAP UP TODAY'S BRIEFING. WE WILL SEE YOU NEXT TIME. On April 8, 2024 experience live with NASA as we travel aoss the path of a total solar eclipse.
