00:00:00,375 --> 00:00:02,919
Today we're preparing for the lunar flyby.

2
00:00:02,919 --> 00:00:08,008
This is my personal favorite part
of the mission, My name is Emily Kollin.

3
00:00:09,050 --> 00:00:11,428
I'm a member of the Control Console

4
00:00:11,428 --> 00:00:14,431
here in the Orion Mission
Evaluation Room, or MER.

5
00:00:14,639 --> 00:00:16,266
Our console is responsible

6
00:00:16,266 --> 00:00:20,186
for controlling the attitude
or orientation of the Orion spacecraft.

7
00:00:20,311 --> 00:00:24,149
We're also responsible for the positioning
of the solar array wings or SAWs.

8
00:00:24,566 --> 00:00:29,946
Every day there are special activities
that require some certain attitude

9
00:00:29,946 --> 00:00:33,450
or configuration of the solar arrays
to meet their objectives.

10
00:00:33,867 --> 00:00:38,788
For example, we might need to point
a certain antenna back at Earth, or point

11
00:00:38,788 --> 00:00:42,834
a camera that's fixed to the exterior
of the spacecraft at the moon.

12
00:00:43,084 --> 00:00:46,755
I think the most exciting moment
will be the lunar flyby.

13
00:00:47,422 --> 00:00:51,176
Houston, thank you for putting the moon
directly in window three.

14
00:00:51,176 --> 00:00:53,011
It just took our breath away.

15
00:00:53,011 --> 00:00:57,932
Orion's windows are pointed at the moon,
so the crew will be in the windows

16
00:00:57,932 --> 00:01:01,895
with their cameras, making their
observations, taking lots of pictures.

17
00:01:03,063 --> 00:01:05,356
We have reached the eclipse attitude,

18
00:01:05,356 --> 00:01:08,318
meaning Orion is in the proper position
to observe it.

19
00:01:08,902 --> 00:01:10,987
Every day has been exciting so far.

20
00:01:10,987 --> 00:01:15,075
They've all presented new
and different challenges on our console.

21
00:01:15,158 --> 00:01:19,746
I love being here, working
with a team of world class engineers

22
00:01:20,205 --> 00:01:24,959
to solve problems, and eventually
we'll bring the crew home safely.
