00:00:00,959 --> 00:00:04,045
Today we're in the Mission Evaluation Room
or the MER here

2
00:00:04,087 --> 00:00:05,672
for the Orion spacecraft.

3
00:00:05,672 --> 00:00:06,589
Our main job is

4
00:00:06,589 --> 00:00:10,135
we're the engineering back room
support to the flight control team. Hi.

5
00:00:10,135 --> 00:00:12,178
My name is Jeb Stefan
and I'm a member of the MER

6
00:00:12,178 --> 00:00:15,974
RPOD Console or RPOD is Rendezvous,
Proximity Operations, and Docking.

7
00:00:16,141 --> 00:00:17,392
We're responsible

8
00:00:17,392 --> 00:00:21,271
for various flight tests that take place
during the mission that help buy down

9
00:00:21,271 --> 00:00:24,274
risk for our future docking missions
with HLS on Artemis three.

10
00:00:24,774 --> 00:00:28,820
Shortly after, ICPS
sep about 3.5 hours into the mission.

11
00:00:29,487 --> 00:00:32,198
The crew kicked off an automated maneuver
that then turned them

12
00:00:32,198 --> 00:00:35,160
around to face back towards the ICPS
with their docking camera.

13
00:00:35,326 --> 00:00:38,580
And then at that point, they approached
in the ten meters from the ICPS and

14
00:00:39,247 --> 00:00:41,666
use the hand
controllers, the translational hand

15
00:00:41,666 --> 00:00:42,959
control and rotational hand controller

16
00:00:42,959 --> 00:00:46,504
on the vehicle, along with our docking
camera displayed on their crew displays

17
00:00:46,963 --> 00:00:48,131
to pilot the vehicle, similar

18
00:00:48,131 --> 00:00:51,634
to how they would in a manual docking
scenario on future Artemis missions.

19
00:00:51,926 --> 00:00:53,928
Great job, Victor and to the entire crew.

20
00:00:53,928 --> 00:00:57,098
And we enjoyed your excitement
at seeing ICPS out the window.

21
00:00:58,224 --> 00:01:01,269
I think it's just very exciting,
to finally see Artemis 2 happen

22
00:01:01,269 --> 00:01:03,354
and then the fast cadence
that we're moving towards

23
00:01:03,354 --> 00:01:06,649
Artemis 3 and Artemis
4, especially in the RPOD phase of flight.

24
00:01:06,649 --> 00:01:08,693
Like, it's an exciting time.

25
00:01:08,693 --> 00:01:09,819
I'm very happy to be here.
