Wet Dress Rehearsal Data Boosts Readiness After Artemis 1 (Full Transcript)

[00:00:00] Speaker 1: all together on this as we are moving forward with our plans. I'd just like to say a couple of words about the wet dress you know we really did learn a lot from the Artemis 1 mission and we implemented a lot of the lessons learned yesterday through wet dress and I would say many of those were demonstrated very successfully and then we were able to actually gain additional data as we were going through the rehearsal. Myself, I know when I went in I had three big things that I really wanted to make sure we were getting data on and I would say all three of those we did a fantastic job of gathering the important data that we need. First off, everyone's aware of some of the challenges with with the hydrogen tanking from Artemis 1 and we had made some changes and I would say the fact that we got to full tanking yesterday on the first try was tremendous success and we gathered an enormous amount of data on that. So I think that was a huge huge success for us. Another area that I was really focused on was there's the purge barrier that we do the nitrogen purge what we have done in the past nitrogen purge between the crew module and the and the LAS and we tried something new yesterday and I really wanted to make sure that that we gathered data on how that was working that'll inform how we perform that in the future. So I think that was a huge huge success for us. Another area that I was really focused on was that we got a lot of data there to make sure to keep the crew and the support staff that are in the white roof keeping them safe as we load the crew and we got a lot of data there. Fantastic. And then the third area that I was really focused on is you know closing those doors closing the hatches on the crew module and the launch abort system is a challenging challenging process. It's very complex a lot of steps it is it's a big deal and the more times we can practice that to better the better and I think we again got got a lot out of this. Also we have another rep yesterday our team's got some more work there we've learned and we've again gathered a lot of important information that's going to help us as we're going forward.
