🚀 Congratulations on a job well done @NASA, @BoeingSpace, and @ulalaunch!

[Georgia Tech College of Engineering @gatechengineers]

Excited to partner with our friends in @GTSciences to build the nation’s geospace physics capacity.

Thanks to @NSF, we’ll hire a scholar-teacher to help address a critical shortage in solar-terrestrial science & space weather. Details: https://t.co/Kaf169flqT

The IM-1 landing later today is sure going to be keenly watched by all of SSDL as one of our professors, Dr. Christian and his research group developed the optical navigation algorithm for landing on the Moon! 🌕

[GTaerospace @GTaerospace]

Professor John Christian developed an optical navigation algorithm that is onboard a lunar lander headed to the Moon and expected to land later today, as a part of @Int_Machines IM-1 Mission. 🌕 https://t.co/4AXTUKvajv #GTaerospace #georgiatech #stickthelanding #opnav
