| Did you know you can turn
your personal smart phone into an Orion Navigation tool? In this session you
will learn how to calibrate your smartphone camera just like the Orion flight
cameras in the Electro-optics lab at JSC, and then use the camera to “fly” a
trajectory toward a simulated moon. During this lesson that can be taken back
to your classroom Dr. Greg Holt, Orion Navigation Lead, NASA JSC, will be
sharing with us the basic math and physics behind the Orion optical
navigation system, which is a key safety system for the crew to make their
way through cislunar space and back to Earth if they lose communication with
the ground. A laptop will help you follow along with this session, but is not
required. https://spacecenter.grenadine.co/seec2020/form/SessionEval |
