Houston, we have a podcast.

Welcome to the official podcast of the NASA Johnson Space Center,

episode 352, Gateway at Your Service.

I'm Kenapell and I will be one of your hosts today.

On this podcast, we bring in the experts, scientists, engineers and

astronauts all to let you know what's going on in the world of human spaceflight

and more. This is our third installment of our Getting-To-Know gateway series and in

this episode we're diving

into what we are fondly calling the Gateway Helpers, the Logistics spacecraft that will fly

to Gateway to replenish its science and other supplies, and the robotic helpers provided by the Canadian Space Agency.

First up, Logistics.

Think of this is the deep space supply chain that will deliver science and supplies to gateway

ahead of each Artemis crew's arrival.

These important deliveries will keep our astronauts supplied and help NASA do the science to

help prepare for human missions to Mars in the coming years.

While the Gateway Program is managed out of Johnson Space Center

here in Houston, Kennedy Space Center in Florida is responsible for leading the

commercial supply chain in deep space. This includes transporting supplies like

food for the crew, science experiments, and hardware

for exploration of the moon.

And that's where our first guest comes in.

Mark Weese is the manager of the Gateway Program's Deep Space Log logistics at Kennedy.
