00:00Lockheed Martin has unveiled a water-based lunar architecture concept
00:04that emphasizes several critical areas for sustainable exploration on the Moon.
00:08The concept includes advanced transportation systems,
00:11such as the Orion spacecraft and a human landing system,
00:15HLS, designed to safely ferry astronauts to and from the lunar surface.
00:20For surface exploration,
00:22versatile multipurpose vehicles of various sizes and capabilities
00:25will be developed to navigate and study the Moon's terrain.
00:29To ensure continuous power supply,
00:31a robust grid combining solar and nuclear fission energy will be established,
00:36providing uninterrupted energy regardless of the Sun's location.
00:40Habitation will be supported by secure, lightweight and spacious shelters
00:44made from inflatable materials,
00:46offering reliable living quarters for astronauts.
00:49Additionally, the architecture will focus on harvesting water ice
00:53and mining lunar regolith,
00:54ensuring the availability of essential resources
00:57to sustain life and operations on the Moon.
