Our Water-Based Lunar Architecture
Вставка

- Science fiction is becoming reality. The Artemis program is taking us back to the Moon, and this time we'll establish a presence that will eventually take us farther into space than ever before. The building blocks of space infrastructure required to carry humanity on this journey are in development today.
Dive into our vision of a water-based lunar architecture on the Moon that demonstrates our commitment to sustainable space exploration. This journey to the Moon is not just for knowledge, but securing our future, enabling Mars exploration, permanent bases and returning valuable resources to Earth.
Jump in our rover and take a tour of the lunar south pole to see the infrastructure needed to maintain a permanent presence on the Moon. Some of the highlights include:
Transportation: technology like the Orion spacecraft to transport humans to and from the Moon.
Mobility: vehicles to explore the Moon’s surface.
Power: a grid providing continuous power regardless of the Sun’s position.
Habitation: reliable, lightweight and spacious shelters made of inflatable softgoods technology.
Space Resources: water ice harvesting and regolith mining to support life on the Moon.
Our approach for a responsible and effective path forward is water-based, nuclear-enabled and commercially-invested. To learn more about our vision for humanity's future in space, visit:

Damn, didn't expected a gameplay video on Lockheed Martin😅
frr
Looks like Unreal 3.
No it isn't is a 3d Interactive Presentation of the plan.
@@user-ys5rd6fs4m but it is similar to a game. i am really hoping to see some of this stuff on the moon soon.
Moon habitation is currently in early access
“ >15kph max speed”
proceeds to drive at speeds that make every KSP player uncomfortable
lmao
as a KSP player I'm uncomfortable haha
“>” is pronounced “greater than”. Thus “>15kph max speed” means “speed greater than 15kph”. So a vehicle that can do 100kph, 1000kph, speed-of-light… but can’t go slower than 15kph, including stopping.
@@CarFreeSegnitz Someone should make a movie based on that, like with a Bus.
@@CarFreeSegnitz XD imagine they werent just tryna make that extra 0.52kph seem more significatn
The hardest part is getting there and building functional construction equipment. Once you do that, there's really no limit to what you can build on the moon. Less gravity, no weather or wind, no underground restrictions. It's like a creative mode for engineers.
It's going to be glorious
Let's kill ender dragon
Pretty amazing that we get a satellite like the moon. It really opens up a lot of opportunities into space exploration!
I wonder how the dust will be with construction. Apparently that was a huge issue with the suits before
@MikeMcNanners
Right. While getting their, getting construction materials, and getting mining going to get things self-sufficient on the moon is the hard part, regolith (moon dust) will be an issue.
Nice tutorial level, when do we get to see actual gameplay?
2028ish
Hitting early access in a few years, it's in alpha now.
@@Low_commotionwe're getting into living in space irl vefore star citizen ong 💀
@@golem_videomakingfor real they are taking there sweet time with star citizen by the time its done it will be the 22nd century 😅
@@scoodeles ngl i really think a lockheed martin lunar base is more realistic than a finished star citizen
Is lockheed gonna drop a moon base video game or something? This looks fire
i'd buy it if they do ngl
They should make it as real assimilation as possible. Utilizing millions of hours of possible unforeseen circumstances.
@@raptorsean1464 I would agree, would help find issues and perhaps solutions from the large number of minds. Make it mod enabled so people can create new possible solutions [some may be quite useful or realistic].
@@blogobrethe first mod would be a sex mod
Now this would be a great idea. Make a game out of building a lunar base with all the logistics and let tens of thousands of people solve the variety of problems with building the base.
Let me get a warthog on the moon with my halo buddies, we'll cruise around.... ahhh why bother, no air, heavy ass burdensome suits and the constant treat of immediate skull bursting death, no ill take my gravity and air , you can all try , we're not there yet, not by a long shot, just look at Boeings starliner, there are no more dogs in space.
Lol at that one Starship HLS shot at 5:57
The only place where you'll see it like this, in renders.
@@FrankyPi Lol sure.
@@parislikesliners I'm 100% sure, thanks to friends with industry insight and industry professionals who actually work on HLS at NASA I have a pulse on what's going on behind the scenes. You people have no idea how bad it is, and what awaits. I wouldn't be surprised if NASA terminates their contract before the end of the decade.
@@FrankyPi Er... it's closer to completion than most other parts of Artemis. Perhaps you don't follow space news?
@jeffmorris5802 If you think sychophantic grifters on social media are reliable sources of "space news" and not regular speculation spewers, I don’t know what to tell you, that is not reality, that's a very distorted view of it at best and detached from reality at worst. I know what's going on behind the scenes thanks to being in contact with some industry people working on HLS projects at NASA, and they're painting a very different picture. NASA is considering descoping Artemis III into another Orion solo mission, that's how ready they think HLS will be. They're not feeling good about it at all. It is a certainty that HLS will be the long pole. SpaceX is still at square one on the HLS timeline my guy, square one that was supposed to be completed 2 years ago, soon to be 3 years.
Of course, delays are commonplace in this industry, especially when timelines are always overly optimistic while data shows the average time of high complexity projects like this going from paper to operational status is roughly 8 years. Other program assets were also delayed and with SLS-Orion being the only functional parts of Artemis now, there are then new suits, Gateway and HLS that are yet to be delivered. Being late wouldn't mean much if the goods are delivered at the end of the day, so that's not why I said what I said up there, because it's about the goods themselves when it comes to Starship HLS.
There is something quite disturbing and concerning that I just found out the other day. NASA made a slip up and didn't put a rigid requirement of doing a full mission profile for uncrewed landing tests aka demos. SpaceX of course used this to plan the bare minimum as per their usual company culture, so they're just gonna refuel the skeleton lander partially, not even fly to NRHO, and if it lands successfully, the ascent test they voluntarily added is just a small suborbital parabola after lifting off with landing thrusters and lighting one single Raptor engine for one second. It's horseshit, doesn't stress test the full mission profile and most importantly doesn't test the propellant margins.
Their calculations show that after returning crew to NRHO, it would have almost zero propellant left, with a margin much slimmer than what the Apollo LM had. Meanwhile, they're doing almost next to nothing for boiloff mitigation, are still assuming it will be relatively small, so there is a lot of uncertainty there. This means that there's a serious risk of it running out of propellant before reaching the intended orbit. Some at NASA are trying to dispute this because per the contract, they would basically have to put crew on it if they pass their horribly flawed low bar test. I hope they're successful in their dispute because no crew should ever come near that thing, for their sake and the sake of the program, we don't need another major spaceflight disaster, which would ruin the Artemis program. One engineer literally described it as garbage to me and doesn't see it working, because it's a deeply flawed and unsafe design.
Blue Origin's architecture is looking way better and safer for crew. They're of course doing the full mission profile in their planned demo, they know the stakes and are serious about it, while SpaceX is approaching this very unseriously like everything's an afterthought as if no human lives are involved, almost like they never intended to go all the way, but just use all the the hype and the funding from both government and investors to their reputational and financial benefit, which would be very on brand for Musk.
I also heard that they weren't even expecting to win the HLS bid when they put it out, but externalities like Congress giving a small fraction of requested HLS budget and yet unclear motivation of Kathy Lueders to act in a clear conflict of interest by unfairly treating other competitors while clearly favoring SpaceX after all three candidates were determined to be out of compliance with full contract requirements in the final stages of competition, ended up with them getting the contract.
Lueders also violated federal regulations as she quit NASA following the selection and quickly went to work for SpaceX, where she currently is as Starbase General Manager. All of this occuring during a transitional period while NASA didn't have a new director sworn in. Instead of being investigated and penalized for her corrupt decisions, nothing happened, because she's best buddies with some NASA higher-ups, it's very disappointing.
I really hope this doesn't end up in the worst case scenario or anything close to it, it's NASA's program after all, and if they can't dispute this massive flaw that they effectively enabled by mistake, it's certainly better to terminate the contract than put crew at risk. In any case, don't expect the first landing to be on Artemis III, and whenever the landing comes, don't expect it to be on a SpaceX lander. This would likely put the first landing in the next decade, since Blue Origin landing on Artemis V was originally planned for 2029, currently at 2030 due to delays of preceeding missions. NASA will be glad they implemented redundancy for lander contracts, it will fulfill its purpose.
Next moon military base & black sites. XD
Taxpayers money at it's best.
@@rickyt11 yes
Hell yeah
@@starman2220 why military? why not humanitarian?
not next... but additional lol
Hope to see a moon base one day
Me too! Although I wouldn’t expect one until 2033~ ish
I hope we'll see a moon city large enough to spot from Earth in our lives. That will take some breakthroughs in longevity though (which should have more funding imo)
Possible in the next decade.
@@Low_commotionOur kids or grandkids would think staring at the moon and seeing city lights on it would be a normal thing to witness.

Jizz in my pants

I hope this isn't just a render to get people excited, and that there's actual hardware in development somewhere for exactly this.
Thank you for presenting this ground-level view of a lunar base. It's what we need to see!

Game devs. We are really struggling to make this game and keep to time schedule with the resent lack of funding
Lockheed Martin. To keep the next generation interested in space we quickly made a game with good graphics and physics engine to show case our newest projects in development
hot damn lockheed going into non military space projects?? am I dreaming??
they been in non military space projects
They have been for a while. Atlas V, Orion, Starlab, the Space Shuttle External Tank, X33 VentureStar.
@@starmanxviwell not starlab anymore...
Looks like we gotta beautiful full earth in the sky tonight.
The future is bright for humans god bless America
nah china will get there before you

The royal way to see how blessed we can be to survive on Earth by helping each other compared to if we started all over on another planet. It never stops evolving.
Lockheed Martin should start a new space opera video game at this point👍🏾
This show was so amazing. Since space documentaries age so quickly, they should reboot this series!
are you some sort of ai?
@@stvka 😂
We need universal assemblers. (I like that they got the lighting right too. Shadows are dark AF with no atmosphere)
Why does this video not have millions of views already?
This is the coolest thing I've seen in a while.
Moonbase Alpha 2 announcement trailer?
Jokes aside, make it happen Lockheed, sooner than later.
Lockheed Martin develops lunar surface game strictly for illustrative purpose before GTA 6
A mass driver? Hell yea brother!
We got Lockheed Martin Simulator before GTA6, crazy timeline.
wow that looks cool! I think Lockheed Martin’s water based lunar architecture looks interesting, innovative and creative.
And half of it looks to be other companies tech.
@@PiDsPagePrototypes and to be honest Lockheed Martians water based lunar architecture not just beautiful it’s functional too.
@@aledwalters8977 Functional, is exactly what it needs to be, making it pretty can come later, once it's proven to work, but they're still showing off other companies hardware in several places, and really should have credited them with logos.
@@PiDsPagePrototypes I can agree with you. Like spacex's moon base made out of reused lunar starships.
@@PiDsPagePrototypes and don't forget the softgoods material is not only lighter than metallic structures is more survivable. What a innovative design choice good job Lockheed Martin
Space will belong to us.
🇺🇸 🎉
The Moon belongs to America! 😂😂 (from an episode of "The Simpsons"
@@williamduffy1227literally my first thought was that Simpsons scene
i think china will be there first, you lot lost ages ago
It belongs to all of us 🌎 ❤
For humanity, for the emperor
Great production! 🤩🤩
I think it is a little ambitious but aim for the stars, and land on the moon eh. Roads would need a heavy roller transported to the moon! Although maybe the roller drum could be at least partly-filled with compressed regalith. Roadside lighting with 14 day nights would need awesome solar & transmission tech. My contribution fwiw would be that half as ambitious would be more practical. Eg would the landing site really need berms?
Im more interested in the software for the demonstration it looks like star citizen lmao its wicked
it could be done in Unreal engine 5
Now you just need to make a vtol spacecraft that can move laterally in all 6 directions
That would spew dust everywhere unfortunately. A moon VTOL would be cool as hell though
I'm already imagining the honeymoon + hotel business:
"Honeymoon to the Moon! The Moon awaits you!
Our beautiful lunar hotels all have panoramic windows overlooking the Earth! 🌎

This is why I invest in you
I want to be one of the person to be in moon , please take me , i swear that i will do whatever you order me
Train to become an astronaut for 15-20 years, apply for NASA, then get really lucky and show no weakness
That's kinda the jist of it...
Well, at least three of the habitat modules are positioned correcly. Will they be purchased whole from Sierra Nevada Co, or just purchase the whole company?
EM Launcher will be an excellent way to get payloads off Luna, figuring out how to use it to land them will be more exciting.
Maybe Lockheed will be contracted by NASA to transport/construct Sierra's modules? You're right though whatever happens it's almost certainly going to be Sierra's inflatable habitats. Especially after they clinched NASA's Orbital Reef commercial space station project.
@@AK-cr5pe No way anyone's getting contracted for the Construction side, without buying Sierra Nevada corp. And that would be an expensive purchase. If they nail Dreamchaser's first flight, Sierra's going to be worth more then Boeing's spaceflight division.
As for the flight, Lockheed could indeed provide reliable launch hardware, but that would come through ULA, in co-operation with Boeing. Given how small the LIFE Modules are when stowed, F9 is the obvious choice, but I wouldn't rule out Racket Labs upcoming Nutron vehicle either.
New Glenn and Starship would be a wasted launch for that small of a payload.
I would give absolutely everything to live this future.
cool gameplay.
can't wait for the real thing to get released in the 2030s
Space is hard. Transfer costs are 1M $/1 kg of cargo. Night is 14 days per moon point. Flat surface with little slope is a luxury there. No air pressure at all. Ambient navigation lights are luxury there. Radio link Rover-Earth is possible, but in staged configuration, 1.5 sec. delay one-way (2.5 sec. echo response).
I think Elon is going to reduce those transfer costs by orders of magnitudes.
cool
@@RussTilllingYes, he is.
@@RussTillling Elon is full of shit.
Costs haven't been $1M/kg since the Saturn V. What are you on about?
Incredible! Lets bring the future to now!
New KSP 2. Gameplay looking great!
Cries
The vehicle doesn't leave any tracks, but does make a sound in the vacuum of space
Aight Lockheed, don't be shy. Just release the demo game, we'll be glad to play it 😅
id love this released as a game
Starship baby!
Will be contained within renders like this I'm afraid. Garbage design that won't work as a viable lander. Watch it happen, NASA could even terminate the contract before this decade is out if necessary. I know what's going on behind the scenes, the public has no idea how bad things are.
@@FrankyPi Time of renders for Starship was over years ago. See SN15 which successfully landed. See the past four test flights with the fifth coming up. Incredible progress on each flight. People said reusable booster would never happen either. They were dead wrong. Starliner was the safe bet over Crew Dragon? Look how that turned out. Hasn't even done one operational mission yet and their current test is stuck in the ISS waiting for SpaceX to inevitably save them. Old space is dead. Just look at SLS. Icon of old space waste and government corruption.
@Stephen-wb3wf You don't understand what I'm talking about do you, also nice display of total ignorance and delusional cultism. You people really are detached from reality, it's like the MAGA cult but with spaceflight.
@@FrankyPi How is it a garbage design? Why would it not work? And what are the bad things the public has no idea about?
@@Stephen-wb3wf Reading comprehension isn't your forte it seems. None of the test flights have anything to do with what I said, also your comments on the industry at large and repeating myths like the reusable booster schtick just shows what a typical delusional cultist you are. You have no clue what the reality and SpaceX's place in the industry actually is.
such an original vision! and no way it could go wrong that the company that makes money off war will do bad in space good on you guys
cant wait for lockheed space battleship, i suggest the name "venator"
What the fank are you waiting on ? Let's go already !!!
This would be a great game concept: Return to Earth. Gather resources on Moon and construct a rocket to return to earth before the alien creatures attack your base.
Hola , muchas gracias por compartir con todos nosotros, saludos desde Uruguay 💪😎👍🚀‼️
I see Lockheed martin has gotten into the gaming business 😂
the radio chatterer is speaking kerbal, lets just hope the kraken doesnt strike?
This has potential!
Maybe monorail, surface rail or tunnel hyper loop to further mitigate ejecta..
That canister launch system is a great idea!
i cant wait to see something like this on the moon. especially with starship and all the new space based companies popping up with new things to bring to the table.
ksp 3 looking fire
I imagine with the $22 billion you've been given to develop the orion capsule (Which performs almost as well as the $0.4 billion crew dragon), you can buy what, 146 falcon heavy launches and just launch 2,200 tons of water to the lunar surface.
Added to my steam wishlist
watching this, I want a video game about moon exploration with real concept in it that are being studied or produced. And so, almost in real time, there will be updates on projects that we can play with virtually. and as time goes on, one day we would have almost live experience of humans coming back to the moon, that would be wild to experience it virtually. a multiplayer map experiencing that.
This interactive presentation of a functional moon base with a game engine is making me want to work at Lockheed Martin and contribute creating those presentation on complex systems infrastructures. Feels like the Book Critical Mass with that EM Launcher :)
gonna need to see a source for optical power beaming. if it's just a mirror, let's call it a mirror
I didn't know Lockheed picked up development of Kerbal Space Program 2? Congrats!
Even in this fantasy future, the EM launcher isn't built yet, it's still a construction site... A dream inside their dream!
Where are the heavy lift vehicles and excavators that are going to make these roads and nicely sloped entrances to deep craters? How will they get there and be deployed? Either way, I love the idea/plan! I know small scale low enriched nuclear powerplants are already in advanced testing. As are the expandable soft-shelled habs. Power beaming still has some kinks I believe, but besides getting everything there It looks doable! Regardless, I am excited for the future of space exploration. I just hope politics dont start shutting these programs down one by one like the recent rover mission which in my opinion was a pretty critical mission for going to the Moon. No matter what happens on Earth in the future, humanities next big step is on the Moon. The sooner we can get there and start learning, the better off we will be in many ways.
They forgot the hundreds of workers who paved the surface, and continously remove the dust.
*robots
Once the dust is out of the way, it will be a while for it to come back. No wind to move it back onto the road
There have been a lot of concepts like these over the years, but i feel like the current baseline for the Artemis program might make a permanent moon base actually possible for once. Here’s to hoping NASA and its commerical lunar partners can turn renders like this into reality within a reasonable timeframe.
Also, nobody would mind this as a game. Just saying ;)
Lockheed when is this game coming out, can't wait to play it!
The next video on my feed is about Avatar and the RDA. lol
Ah yes! Looks like Abstergo Industries is expanding.
That lander at the beginning looks like the Blue Origin Mk2 Lunar Lander..
Probably is, they also show Starship HLS in a few frames as well.
@@starmanxvi Yeah... but on a landing pad built by the Blue Origin National Team as I am reminded of what Robert Zubrin once said...
"...#SpaceX- Great one-way heavy lander, but requires 20,000 lbf to land, could dig crater unless pad prepared in advance."
Yeah, that will be the only operational lander before NASA picks additional contractors.
@hypercomms2001 Don't worry, operational Starship HLS on the Moon is a scene that will remain only here, not in reality.
oh sweet a gameplay reveal
Mass driver, hell yeah! O'Neill cylinders here we come!
bro lunar civilization is just a campfire and a tent so far 😭 will probably be another century or so before it becomes feasible, hopefully before I die!
@@ZacharysharkhazardThink how quickly the American west became developed

Awesome vid... just another reason why getting Starship and superheavy on line ASAP.
Who remembers Moon Base Alpha on steam years ago lol.. I am getting those vibes..
*Lockheed Martin gameplay video*
*Lockheed Martin gameplay video*
This was probably made in Unreal Engine 5
I saw at least 1000 tons worth of equipment in this presentation.
At the pace BE4 and upper stage have delayed the whole program, we might be looking on 30 years and 40B USD worth launches, payload not included.
NASA is not promoting enough breakthrough technologies, I just heard it will be launching a block of concrete to the moon the end of this year, not equipment.
If the space industry don't start collaborating with each other, I can only see this future happening with SpaceX and China. And they will do it much earlier.
Surface roads seem like they would be a nightmare to maintain. Y'all should look into emulating termite tunnels with water and moon dust.
With all due respect Lockheed, if this is intended as a permanent colony not a way point base, you will need a very talented team of psycho therapists because this will send people insane if this is a colony concept.
Such utter disregard for the colony's posted speed limits for rover traffic.. Someone is going to get hurt
Now I’m waiting space simulators from Lockheed Martin
Inspirational.
One day really one day ❤❤
Yall holdin out on us
Saving all the good stuff for our new worlds huh? I like it..
We would have to make some kind of gravity like earth, homes would be like the ride Gravitron, half of the home underground for stability while it's spins at a speed that creates earth like gravity, but even better if the home is completely under ground for protection.
so cool
GTA graphics, sounds, and noises... I want to trash this but it's actually very cool. Where can I play this game? Does it have VR capability?
Interesting that Lockheed Martin out of all companies wants to get a stake in the Artemis program.
Y'know, the company that made a civilian instead of military product exactly ONCE? (It was a passenger plane that was too comfortable to be affordable for airlines)
These new Starfield dlc graphics are wild
Holy. Sheeeeeet!😊
16 - 16 - 16 - GLASS - 16
really good, except for the optical beaming (might be ok for small, remote needs, but LED and PV and focussing inefficiencies "stacked" would be poor. The fission is good down to 50kwe and fission- H2O electrolysis for fuel-cells would cover smaller needs)
This is the way to go! But. Where are the bulldozer, grader and vibration roller, that made all those pretty roads and foundations for other structures?
Ended on a strong note with the bfg
How much longer do we have to wait for this patch to come?
This game looks way better than Starfield.
Serious question, assuming some valid reason for keeping everything so far apart from each other ... what is it? Why not keep everything bunched together instead of spaced out like that?
PS5 and PC?
It would be great if they could release this as an interactive demo.
