We work a lot of sims in preparation for this,
but this was actually live, right?
This is the the opportunity we get to support the mission
while they're in orbit. Hello.
My name is Duane Chin and we are inside the Mission Control Center, MCC.
Within the MCC, we are inside the Orion MER, which is the Mission Evaluation Room.
So the CHESS MER console monitors multiple systems
and they're generally not vehicle systems.
So we monitor the OCS which are the spacesuits that the crew uses.
We also do flight crew equipment, which we call FCE.
And that's a lot of the loose equipment within the cabin.
And then we also do, Human Health and Performance, HH&P hardware,
which is the medical, the exercise and environmental health equipment.
Today there was an activity for the OCS suits.
The crew is preparing the spacecraft for the OCS suit demo
Orion Crew Survival System suit.
They wanted to look at the performance of the suit.
So they they were doing some reach tests.
They wanted to see while seated and pressurized
if they could reach certain areas of the cabin.
Houston, Integrity.
Suits one and two rapid dawn complete.
Copy.
Rapid dawn complete, seats one and two. Thank you.
Now is the time we actually get to see it, right?
We get to use some of these things that have taken a long time to develop.
I know it's not the finish line for Artemis,
but for a lot of us who did the development over the years,
it's pretty exciting to actually see it being used.
