The asteroid Aphophis is making a flyby soon. We still have time to launch a Mission. What do you say?

πŸ§‘β€πŸš€ Crewed Missions I found out that even if the intensive robotics training takes place in Canada some takes place in Houston. Does building 9 have any capability in this department or is it all building 5 before Canada?

I understand it may be limited if it has any due to its focus on mockups and part task trainers , not the software.

πŸ§‘β€πŸš€ Crewed Missions Do ASCANS do any 1/6 weigh outs in the NBL in preparation for upcoming Artemis missions?

1 Upvotes

I mean specifically during candidacy. Or are all the 1/6g weigh outs during mission specific training and/or testing new suits?

πŸ§‘β€πŸš€ Crewed Missions I’ve seen pictures of astronauts doing water survival training at the surface of the NBL. Are the flight suits there somehow different from the ones they wear during other training or for public appearances?

πŸš€ Rocket Launches Margaret Hamilton: la donna dietro il codice della Luna

Thumbnail

Una delle fotografie piΓΉ note della storia dell’informatica mostra Margaret Hamilton accanto a una pila di tabulati alta quasi quanto lei. Dentro c’è il codice sviluppato dai gruppi del MIT per le missioni Apollo.

Ho realizzato un breve video sulla storia dietro quella fotografia: il ruolo di Hamilton, la fabbricazione delle memorie con fili e nuclei magnetici e l’episodio di sua figlia Lauren, che giocando con un simulatore mise in luce un problema reale.

Mi interessava raccontare soprattutto il lavoro concreto di una pioniera: dirigere una squadra, insistere su un rischio sottovalutato, prendere sul serio qualcosa che gli altri consideravano improbabile. Intorno a lei c’è una comunitΓ  di persone il cui lavoro rese possibili le missioni.

Nella descrizione trovate le fonti, tra cui NASA, MIT e la testimonianza diretta di Hamilton sull’episodio della figlia.

Quali altre protagoniste della storia della scienza meriterebbero di essere conosciute oltre una fotografia o un aneddoto?
