@AJamesMcCarthy@Truthful_ast Brother if you dig out any gems from the eclipse and do some magic on them, that would be incredible. Those were some of my favorite moments of the mission. Not sure if the crew got any shots of the surface impacts they saw but that would be nuts.
I had the privilege of sitting next to Andy in the ICPS ops room at Marshall for the Artemis I launch. I will always remember the joy on his face when we saw the SAWCAM video of ICPS on-orbit. We miss him dearly, and I'm so glad folks are able to witness our send-off for him.
Would anyone at @NASA or @ulalaunch like to explain who this memorial is to? I could barley make it but I read:
βIn memory of our colleague and friend Andrew A. Su####β?β
Sorry for yalls loss
@go4gordon Gordon I'm so so so hyped for the videos you're going to share of prox ops. Thank you for your efforts in sharing our program!! Those of us who work Artemis often struggle to figure out what's releasable vs sensitive.
@Alexphysics13 I've seen this posted a few times and man... the realities of trying to get work done at B while there are ~dozens? of starships launching off of A will be fun.
Seems like clears are going to be a challenge and acoustic environments ought to get checked out sooner than later.
My first internship at JPL was funded by NASA's Space Grant nearly a decade ago. As someone who loves to interest students in space, it's disheartening to see early career pathways I have personal experience with getting pulled up behind me. Thinking of younger folks yet to come.
Wild decision to include a collage of smiling, inspired, and space-pilled kids engaging in NASA STEM programs on the same page that zeros out the STEM budget.
@rocketgirlbecks Yes!! They've been so active this week, and with what seems like pretty short (<10min) gaps between burns. Sounded almost like ascent, entry, and landing type timeline last night. Think the low clouds help the sound travel farther too.
@Jack_Frodo Automation depends on the telemetry they got from the booster. Since both boosters eventually burnt out at the same time, some sensors might've indicated somewhat nominal conditions (temp/press). However, the overall yaw moment of the stack would've certainly raised alarms.
@TaylorHose I swear some of the hotels near JSC are straight out of the Twilight Zone. I once stayed in a very okay big hotel in Clear Lake where I must've been one of only 12 guests all week.
@this_is_tckb@BepiColombo@esaoperations@NASAJPL Depending on what you're trying to do, you may be able to get the information you need from the IKs which describe instrument FOVs and boresights relative to the S/C frame (defined in the FKs).
