1
00:00:04,140 --> 00:00:07,380
The Artemis one mission
is an uncrewed flight test of

2
00:00:07,380 --> 00:00:11,640
the Orion spacecraft, placing a
human rated crew vehicle into

3
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:16,050
lunar orbit for the first time
since the Apollo missions. The

4
00:00:16,050 --> 00:00:19,380
mission will showcase the
capabilities of both Orion and

5
00:00:19,380 --> 00:00:23,700
the Space Launch System, or SLS,
NASA's powerful new rocket.

6
00:00:24,390 --> 00:00:27,780
Communication services for the
Artemis I mission are provided

7
00:00:27,780 --> 00:00:31,920
by NASA's two major networks,
the Near Space Network and the

8
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:36,360
Deep Space Network. For Artemis
I launch the Near Space Network's

9
00:00:36,390 --> 00:00:40,410
launch communication segment
provides critical links with SLS

10
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,800
and Orion. The network's
constellation of tracking and

11
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,880
data relay satellites, or TDRS,
provides near continuous

12
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,540
communication services to the
mission during ascent and low

13
00:00:51,540 --> 00:00:55,080
Earth orbit. As Artemis I
journeys to the Moon, the Deep

14
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,420
Space Network acts as the
mission's primary service

15
00:00:57,420 --> 00:01:00,900
provider beyond low-Earth orbit.
With the Near Space Network

16
00:01:00,900 --> 00:01:04,140
providing supplemental
navigation data, the Deep Space

17
00:01:04,140 --> 00:01:06,690
Network will maintain
communications with Orion while

18
00:01:06,690 --> 00:01:10,200
in distant retrograde orbit
around the moon. The network

19
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,320
will also help facilitate
communications for all of the

20
00:01:13,320 --> 00:01:17,730
mission's CubeSat deployment
stops. Returning to Earth, Orion

21
00:01:17,730 --> 00:01:20,220
will receive communication
support from the Deep Space

22
00:01:20,220 --> 00:01:23,850
Network with assistance from the
Near Space Network's TDRS

23
00:01:23,850 --> 00:01:27,600
constellation. TDRS will be
integral to communications

24
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,810
during reentry and splashdown
with NASA search and rescue

25
00:01:30,810 --> 00:01:35,400
technology standing by in case
of contingencies. Artemis I will

26
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,450
begin a new era of lunar
exploration supported by NASA

27
00:01:39,450 --> 00:01:43,710
Space Communications and
Navigation innovation. NASA's

28
00:01:43,710 --> 00:01:47,280
networks are empowering our
sustained return to the Moon as

29
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,560
we set our sights on Mars.
