Today we're in the Mission Evaluation Room or the MER here
for the Orion spacecraft.
Our main job is
we're the engineering back room support to the flight control team. Hi.
My name is Jeb Stefan and I'm a member of the MER
RPOD Console or RPOD is Rendezvous, Proximity Operations, and Docking.
We're responsible
for various flight tests that take place during the mission that help buy down
risk for our future docking missions with HLS on Artemis three.
Shortly after, ICPS sep about 3.5 hours into the mission.
The crew kicked off an automated maneuver that then turned them
around to face back towards the ICPS with their docking camera.
And then at that point, they approached in the ten meters from the ICPS and
use the hand controllers, the translational hand
control and rotational hand controller
on the vehicle, along with our docking camera displayed on their crew displays
to pilot the vehicle, similar
to how they would in a manual docking scenario on future Artemis missions.
Great job, Victor and to the entire crew.
And we enjoyed your excitement at seeing ICPS out the window.
I think it's just very exciting, to finally see Artemis 2 happen
and then the fast cadence that we're moving towards
Artemis 3 and Artemis 4, especially in the RPOD phase of flight.
Like, it's an exciting time.
I'm very happy to be here.
