I just realized why all of my FEA models are trash:

I’m the target of a sophisticated and sustained cyber-physical sabotage campaign attributable only to a nation-state adversary with near unlimited resources

@LukeLuk10574362 cheap electric linear actuators

they have a decent amount of backlash but work well enough for our purpose

@kegrocket its closer to +/- 20deg, constrained by the tierod ends at the ends of each actuator

we only use +/- 10deg in software tho

Only one chance in this lifetime…

Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.

I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

fully sheet metal rocket engine? @emm0sh

i'm thinking rolled sheet metal, separate chamber, converging, diverging sections

thin lasercut strips for the cooling channel ribs

some kind of tab system for alignment

the internal welds would be the hard part
