February 2025 workshop: Foundational Exploration gaps (international partners deck)

Document: iparch04-foundational-exploration-gaps.pdf, 11 slides, 6,337,884 bytes, from https://www.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/, fetched 2026-10-01T18:28:07Z (sources/manifest.csv). Same title slide and presenter as the industry and academia deck ("Gaps and Needs: Opportunities for Partnership", Nujoud Merancy), and the same footer ("February 2025"). Slides 4 and 5 carry an "INTERNATIONAL PARTNER WORKSHOP" tab (image). Part of the international partners' set on the Architecture Workshops page. Text: sources/text/docs/2025-02-iparch04-foundational-exploration-gaps.txt; images in sources/raw/slides/2025-02-iparch04-foundational-exploration-gaps/.

A near-copy. The wiki reads the industry and academia deck in full: Foundational Exploration gaps, industry and academia deck. This page records what differs. The text of all 11 slides was compared with it. The images of the slides that differ were viewed: 4, 5, 6 (a text-poor title slide with another presenter) and 11. The other two text-poor slides, 1 and 8, have the same titles and presenters in the text as the industry deck's slides 1 and 12, whose images were viewed. No "Moon Base", "CUI" or "Pre-Decisional" in the text (searched).

Slides against the industry and academia deck

This deck Industry and academia deck What differs
1–3 1–3 Same text: the gap definition and the power-sharing example
4 4 A fourth column, "Expressed Partner Interest", with black dots on six of the eleven high-priority gaps (image)
5 5 One table of sixteen rows instead of two of eight, in the same order, with the same column; dots on seven rows. Banner: "the Foundational Exploration segment" for "FE"
6 6 The science section's presenter: "Brad Bailey, Assistant Deputy Associate Administrator for Exploration, Science Mission Directorate, NASA - SMD" (the industry deck: Joel Kearns)
7 7 Same text: SMD's six gaps and five studies
none 8–11 No STMD talk: no shortfall ranking, lessons or top 30
8–10 12–14 Same text: SOMD's LEO Microgravity Strategy
11 15 The panel without STMD's Walt Engelund, with Brad Bailey for SMD; no "Room Name" line (image)

The dots. They are transcribed beside each gap in the industry deck's tables, so that there is one table per list. The most are on "High-Capacity Mobility at Lunar South Pole" (seven), then "Power Sharing at Lunar South Pole" and "PNT Capabilities at non-South Pole Sites on the Lunar Surface" (four each). No slide gives a key, and none says whose interest the dots record or how it was expressed. The wiki doesn't read them as a count of agencies.
