Houston, we have a podcast.

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

episode 104 in case of emergency.

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

On this podcast we bring in the experts, NASA scientists, engineers, astronauts, all to let you

know the coolest information about what's going on right here at NASA.

So if you're familiar with us, you may know that we've had a number of episodes about the Orion

spacecraft, the one that will be traveling into deep space. of communication and the propulsion to make the spacecraft go.

A large part of the design of all of these parts is not only making sure that they work, but adding redundancy so you know that they will work even if something goes wrong.

But what do you do if you have an unexpected leak or a fire in any stage of flight.

Well, as you can imagine, we've thought of that too.

So today we're talking about how Orion and its crews will be prepared for every emergency you can think of.

We're talking with Jason Hut, Orion Crew Systems Integration Lead.

His main role is to make sure that the design of all of the individual components in the Orion Cockpit come together as one,

in a way where the crew can complete a mission up to 21 days safely and successfully.

Hut walks us through some of the unlikely events that could happen and how the crew will

be able to respond effectively to these sticky situations.

So with no further delay, let's jump right ahead to our talk with Mr. Jason Hut.

Enjoy. T-minus Minus by second, then county.

Mark.

A long, she goes.

A long she goes.
