00:00:00
you've heard it said NASA's space launch
00:00:01
system is behind schedule and over
00:00:03
budget so why not Scrap It Well NASA
00:00:06
already has Hardware built for the
00:00:08
rockets and capsules for the next four
00:00:10
missions a large part of it is sitting
00:00:12
just outside New Orleans at NASA's mud
00:00:14
assembly facility and only NSF got a
00:00:17
tour inside sponsored by
00:00:19
[Music]
00:00:28
novatech
00:00:35
the entire floor at Mishu sometimes
00:00:37
referred to by the workers as MAF is
00:00:39
full of parts for the upcoming crude
00:00:41
lunar flyby Artemis 2 mission the
00:00:43
moonlanding mission Artemis 3 and even
00:00:46
some parts for Missions beyond that from
00:00:48
where we're sitting right now it's
00:00:50
exciting that you look around and point
00:00:52
at development Hardware uh structural
00:00:56
test article hardware and flight
00:00:57
Hardware what you're seeing right now is
00:00:59
the entire length of the core stage for
00:01:01
Artemis 2 with most of it already
00:01:03
covered with the special orange
00:01:05
insulating foam now it's down to
00:01:07
something called fif the final
00:01:09
integrated functional test basically
00:01:12
making sure everything works we've done
00:01:14
all of the individual functional test on
00:01:16
the five elements um and now is when we
00:01:19
really see put we hook them all up
00:01:21
together um and really test out um uh
00:01:25
all of the functionality of the rocket
00:01:27
that's Amanda Gertie jansson core stage
00:01:29
assembly integration and test leader for
00:01:31
Boeing NASA's prime contractor for SLS
00:01:35
stages following testing the giant Corp
00:01:37
will have to be prepared to be loaded
00:01:39
onto the Pegasus barge for shipping to
00:01:42
the Kennedy Space Center so there's
00:01:43
really um that's kind of final fair and
00:01:46
install um shipping covers antenna
00:01:49
covers kind of all of the pieces that
00:01:50
can't get exposed and all of the pieces
00:01:52
that will be hooked up um when we go
00:01:54
stack the full rocket uh so we put
00:01:56
covers on a lot of that uh assistance
00:01:58
tunnel covers uh put those on um and
00:02:02
then once we're in shipping
00:02:03
configuration we do some rotations there
00:02:06
what are you looking at for finishing
00:02:08
the testing and then and kind of being
00:02:10
ready to go uh ready to to to roll out
00:02:12
to the barge so we're working to a plan
00:02:15
right now that we um to complete by the
00:02:16
end of the year but it's not just the
00:02:18
core for the first lunar flyby in 50
00:02:20
years Orion spacecraft prime contractor
00:02:23
locki Martin is also getting final
00:02:25
pieces ready for launch delivery
00:02:27
fairings for the Orion service module
00:02:29
are there along with something very
00:02:30
important for a crew flight seats we're
00:02:33
standing in front of um a couple of the
00:02:36
crew seats for
00:02:37
Orion um and so I was asking you before
00:02:40
we went on here which one this is for
00:02:43
and you said yes so could you talk about
00:02:45
could you talk about what we're looking
00:02:46
at here in so they are reusable the the
00:02:48
cruise seats that we're looking at here
00:02:49
are Artemis 2 and Artemis 3 Cruise seats
00:02:51
and likely uh reusability beyond that uh
00:02:54
you see two of the cruise seats here
00:02:56
that's a there's another Cruise seat
00:02:58
that's not shown here and a pile seat
00:03:00
also that's part of our fabrication part
00:03:01
of our build okay are these I mean are
00:03:04
is there anything different about like
00:03:06
are there Mission specialist seats
00:03:08
Commander seat private seat or are they
00:03:09
interchangeable they're interchangeable
00:03:11
uh the the only uh differentiation is
00:03:13
the pilot seat the pilot seat has some
00:03:15
additional controls and what you don't
00:03:17
see here are the uh the arm mounts so
00:03:20
there's a set of arm mounts that are
00:03:21
going to go onto these before we deliver
00:03:23
these some there's some additional
00:03:24
functional testing that we're going to
00:03:25
do on the the armrest before we s them
00:03:27
out and and um these obviously you can
00:03:30
see they're adjustable to the different
00:03:32
to the different uh sizes of crew
00:03:35
members yes they're adjustable for a
00:03:37
large individual and a small individual
00:03:38
I'll just I'll leave it to that okay so
00:03:41
in terms of sort of in terms of the
00:03:43
types of testing that you're going to do
00:03:44
on these before they're ready to go to
00:03:46
Kennedy what what do you need to do it's
00:03:48
just functional testing testing from
00:03:49
here on out the uh the design is is
00:03:51
certified for for flight uh so it's just
00:03:54
functional testing associated with the
00:03:56
actual flight units themselves of course
00:03:58
NASA's already the first lunar Landing
00:04:00
since Apollo 17 in December of 1972
00:04:04
Artemis 3 will land the first woman and
00:04:06
the first person of color on the lunar
00:04:07
service ever in case there's any concern
00:04:10
about delays well we could see parts of
00:04:12
the core stage for that mission so core
00:04:14
stage 3 we're working through um
00:04:16
integration on the forward skirt and the
00:04:18
inner tank um we're processing the lhu
00:04:20
tank and then we're working on our
00:04:22
welding on our lock tank Engineers
00:04:24
predict that could arrive at the cape as
00:04:26
soon as
00:04:27
2024 they're also working in tandem with
00:04:30
teams at KSC to prepare the Artemis 3
00:04:32
engine section and once again the focus
00:04:35
is also on getting Orion ready for its
00:04:37
historic crew of four on that mission we
00:04:40
were able to see some of those Orion
00:04:41
service module fairings which will keep
00:04:43
the capsule protected until the rocket
00:04:45
reaches space when it will be jettisoned
00:04:48
along with an adapter cone to help it
00:04:50
attach to the main rocket another key
00:04:53
reason so much of this Hardware is ATM
00:04:54
Mau is because of their unique
00:04:56
technology just like today's video
00:04:58
sponsor and and that sponsor is novatech
00:05:01
who has been pioneering the design and
00:05:03
manufacturing of load cells for more
00:05:05
than 50 years these Force measurement
00:05:07
sensors are accurate throughout a range
00:05:09
of temperatures in HG situations and
00:05:12
even in a vacuum in fact they've sent
00:05:15
load cells to NASA to help test their
00:05:17
inflatable heat shield concept known as
00:05:19
high ad but it's not just the space
00:05:21
industry who trusts novatech in case you
00:05:23
didn't know NSF is full of Formula 1
00:05:26
fans and novatech is playing its part in
00:05:28
helping to make the races even safer
00:05:31
these load cells were used in the
00:05:32
development of the Halo safety devices
00:05:35
for F1 cars for more information check
00:05:37
them out on their website at novatech
00:05:39
load cells.
00:05:41
co.uk or check out the link in the
00:05:43
description and thanks again to novatech
00:05:46
for sponsoring this video now back to
00:05:48
Philip at Mud following that mission SLS
00:05:51
will change into its next variant block
00:05:54
1B which is already under construction
00:05:56
at Mud it turns out a lot of the delays
00:05:59
is just just waiting for a turn in the
00:06:00
welding tools it's pretty close to ready
00:06:03
we've already got the majority of the
00:06:05
the work uh complete so just waiting for
00:06:08
the opportunity to get it down that
00:06:10
vehicle will be able to lift more mass
00:06:12
will be slightly taller and include an
00:06:14
exploration upper stage and a larger
00:06:16
fairing which is already being welded
00:06:19
these are friction sore welding samples
00:06:20
and can you talk about what what we're
00:06:22
looking at with this plate in that plate
00:06:24
sure so this is a uh self-reacting it's
00:06:27
a it's a test sample as you indicated
00:06:29
it's a uh self-reacting friction weld
00:06:32
this is the type of weld that we do on
00:06:34
the majority or all of the uh PV Wells
00:06:37
for the crew model on the pressure
00:06:39
vessel WS right um what's the difference
00:06:42
between I mean this is obviously a sort
00:06:44
of a
00:06:45
clean uh set of two plates together um
00:06:48
what's the what's the difference between
00:06:50
this one and and and the one on the
00:06:51
right that's got that's got these uh
00:06:55
things they almost look like tools
00:06:57
sticking out of them sure what's this
00:06:59
one so again a a test uh panel uh these
00:07:03
are plug Wells okay so as we talked
00:07:05
before with a self-reacting friction
00:07:08
well there is a start and a stop
00:07:10
location U and those start and stop
00:07:12
locations are cleaned up and then
00:07:14
they're closed out with plug
00:07:16
welds okay does it leave it but it
00:07:18
doesn't leave it it doesn't leave these
00:07:21
these elements in them no this is just
00:07:24
there's an element of of this piece that
00:07:26
is uh is spun in the tool there and when
00:07:29
it's inserted at a highs speed and load
00:07:32
into the into the hole it forms a
00:07:34
friction weld a plug friction Weld and
00:07:36
then this uh the stem and there's a a
00:07:39
kind of a nut on the other side that are
00:07:41
machined off and cleaned up to make a
00:07:43
nice smooth finish to the well right and
00:07:45
so you have this articulating tool that
00:07:47
it sits on that that moves around to the
00:07:49
different well positions it needs to go
00:07:51
to correct and for the crew capsules
00:07:53
they're ready to apply the special heat
00:07:55
shield blocks known as avcoat and so
00:07:57
then the this this final piece this is a
00:08:00
this is just a sample for demonstration
00:08:04
purposes of Av code which is the the the
00:08:06
base heat shield material correct so
00:08:08
this is avat this is a a a sample of an
00:08:12
avat Billet as as we call it uh it's a
00:08:14
curve sample we we manufacture both
00:08:16
curved and straight uh billets here in a
00:08:19
different part of the factory uh they
00:08:21
are sent to Kennedy Space Center for
00:08:23
final Machining and installation onto
00:08:25
the heat shield and they form the uh the
00:08:27
outer mold line of of the heat shield
00:08:29
it's approximately 170 blocks that we
00:08:31
manufacture it's uh has some weight to
00:08:33
it uh as it gets machined it gets
00:08:36
machined down into uh thinner pieces
00:08:38
that that are fit to the uh the heat
00:08:40
shield so the final thickness and weight
00:08:42
are less than what you see here we also
00:08:44
saw parts of course stage 4 ready to be
00:08:46
assembled including barrels and domes
00:08:48
for the engine section inner tank and
00:08:51
propellant tanks also in the welder the
00:08:53
pressure vessel for the fifth Orion crew
00:08:56
capsule for Artemis so this is a a cone
00:08:58
panel w tool so we'll uh when we get the
00:09:01
cone panels here for artmus 5 we'll
00:09:03
place them on the Tool uh there are
00:09:05
three longitudinal Wells that we'll
00:09:07
complete to complete the entire cone for
00:09:09
Artemis 5 okay and so you there there
00:09:12
the three what what are the three panels
00:09:14
the three cone panels that that they
00:09:16
come here there are uh there's a hatch
00:09:18
section there's a section that that has
00:09:21
the Windows Incorporated and there's a
00:09:22
more generic section that that closes
00:09:24
out the count the team at Michu wants
00:09:26
everyone to know they're working hard on
00:09:28
America's return to the Moon and are
00:09:30
committed to deep space exploration
00:09:32
we're to the point now where you're like
00:09:34
a pre-flight checklist yes I got the
00:09:36
tooling yes facilities are there yep
00:09:39
I've got all my engineering released I'm
00:09:41
I'm I've got Hardware coming in I got
00:09:43
worker TRS being re released right so
00:09:45
it's in that in that right before
00:09:48
execution phase of trying to make sure
00:09:50
all this stuff is in place to go we're
00:09:52
ready right thanks again to novatech for
00:09:56
sponsoring this video I'm Philip Sloss
