If you are new to Mastadon, these are some space industry insiders that are absolutely worth following:

I know it is a big list. They are working hard every day creating our space fairing future and range from launch vehicles to deep space operations and everything in between.

First look at crew module! Silver color is from a coated kapton tape serving 2 purposes, thermal barrier/reflection and conduction of static charge across surface. Conduction is necessary as flying through space, crossing magnetic field lines, generates charge that if not managed could short out vehicle.u
Under the tape, CM backshell is covered in nonconductive ceramic thermal tile like Space Shuttle belly. 3rd pic is tile from #Orion EFT1 flight test, tape was unnecessary. #NASA #Artemis

Earth! This is from Orion's Optical Navigation Camera on Flight Day (FD) 2! These cameras are being calibrated on this flight for future missions to be able to safely return the crew without any ground communication! 1/2

Optical Navigation works by measuring the Earth or Moon diameter and limb (sunlight/darkness interface) to calculate how far and where Orion is relative to the body. Typical state (position) navigation is calculated by the radiometrics of the ground DSN signals. 2/2

Also used it to export/import follows to mastodon which is super helpful given Twitter states

Closer to the moon than earth! #NASA #Artemis #YallaToTheMoon

Was it really only yesterday we launched #Artemis? Some reflections:

1. My nerves were way less than expected, mostly due to not being in a technical support room making calls on data like I was for EFT1.

2. The excitement at work is palpable. Just the amount of smiles, jokes, and energy at the office today is soooo refreshing.

3. The excitement everywhere not work is also tremendous including that Southwest airlines flight home with an extremely enthusiastic crew

My favorite launch shot. It was an amazing night.
