Houston, we have a podcast.

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

episode 157, Gateway.

I'm Gary Jordan, and I'll be your host today.

On this podcast, we bring in the experts, scientists, engineers, astronauts, all to let you know what's going on

on the world of human spaceflight. We talk about Artemis quite a bit on this podcast.

This is NASA's program to return to the moon sustainably under a new architecture?

One of the key elements of a sustained presence on the moon is an outpost orbiting around it, called the gateway.

If you're like me you may be thinking,

is this like the International Space Station

but around the moon instead of Earth?

It's actually pretty different.

Not just the location, but the orbit is unique, size the elements all framed within a new way of doing business

So here to describe the gateway and what it is and what it is completed thus far is Dan Hartman and Laura Kearney,

Gateway Program Manager, respectively here at the Johnson Space Center.

They're the ones leading the charge in building this from the ground up, not just the gateway, but the

program itself.

So here we go.

The Outpost Around the Moon, known as Gateway for NASA's Artemis program with Dan Hartman and Laura Kearney. Enjoy. T-minus

minus 5 seconds, and county.

Mark.

A long time.
