Multi-point Ron CraneMaster system used on the Boeing Starliner spacecraft. Boeing's Crew Space Transportation (CST)-100 Starliner spacecraft is being developed in collaboration with NASA's Commercial Crew Program. The Starliner was designed to accommodate seven passengers, or a mix of crew and cargo, for missions to low-Earth orbit. For NASA service missions to the International Space Station, it will carry up to four NASA-sponsored crew members and time-critical scientific research. For this project, 𝗕𝗼𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗮 𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶-𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗥𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺, both during the craft's assembly and transport. Knowing the exact weight of each of the 4 lifting points helps keep the load balanced and safe as this valuable spaceship is constructed and transported.

10 Fascinating Facts About NASA’s Orion Spacecraft https://lnkd.in/eevU7_e2 #SpaceEconomy #NewSpace #NewSpaceEconomy #Space #CommercialSpace

Grayhill was founded with pillars that remain true today — people, performance, and progress. The performance Grayhill delivers is unmatched and is found in some of the most extreme environments. Grayhill takes great pride in being an integral player in humanity's space endeavors. Inside the control panels of NASA’s Orion Spacecraft for the Artemis missions are several 62AG Value Rotary Encoders made by Grayhill. Referred to by astronauts as the "twizzle knob," our encoders provide precise navigation and interface selection within the spacecraft's interior displays. Throughout the extensive design phase of the Orion Spacecraft, touchscreen technology was thoroughly evaluated. However, NASA ultimately decided not to use touchscreens for the display controls, recognizing the superior reliability offered by our Value Rotary Encoders. Engineered to endure the harsh conditions of space, including extreme temperatures and radiation exposure, Grayhill’s encoders exemplify resilience. The Orion Spacecraft represents the pinnacle of space exploration, embodying our collective ambition to venture into uncharted territories and push the boundaries of humankind.

NASA's Day of Remembrance is an annual observance to honor the memory of astronauts who have lost their lives in the pursuit of space exploration.  We pay tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the quest for scientific discovery and progress in the advancement of human exploration in space. It serves as a reminder of the risks associated with space exploration and the importance of learning from past tragedies to improve future missions. As we pursue our commitment to returning astronauts to the Moon, today underscores the need to remember and learn from the lessons of the past while continuing to reach for new frontiers of exploration and discovery. https://lnkd.in/ey3PUzcF

Thanks NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration for sharing this very interesting project. This combined and modified compact sensor can be used for multipurposes missions, and the gain of weight, combined with the reduction of the dimensions will be very usefull in the future ! While landing on the #moon remain a very difficult task, we can hope that this sensor will help next missions like #artemis to be done more easily ! I am very interested about the capacities of this sensor in debris removal, because this field of application is still very new, and there is a lot to do in here.
