I worked on the design of the crew controls. In 1999, I met Buzz Aldrin at a party in Beverly Hills when we were discussing the Apollo controls -- which were all designed by aircraft manufacturers and thus only supported 4DOF. So when I mentioned a 6DOF interface I had simulated in computer games and tested on kids who mastered them within minutes, Buzz handed me his card and asked if I'd like to work with him on the design for the Orion. Since I never tried to get any type of Security Clearance I was happy to meet him at his apartment for regular discussions which he'd take into his meetings. And this contributed as a Consultant for his company Skycraft Enterprises. I was pleased to see it finally fly around the Moon but more importantly the upcoming manned flights where these controls will finally be tested. While the spacecraft is essentially automated, my contributions were the two 3D Joysticks you see on either side -- in case they need manual control.
wait wait wait.... everything on glass... so you are telling me that there will not be any physical backup system? I would prefer a backup physical switchboard or even tiny touch buttons... too many variables. I did hear the guy say that there are physical switches around the display... i hope those are the vital controls.
I worked on the Orion crew controls with my contribution being those 2 3D Joysticks you see on either side for manual control. These in conjunction with minimal data from an Inertial Measurement Unit provide the necessary minimal controls for manual flight in any situation. Even when the Gemini 12 computers failed, Buzz Adrin was able to hand calculate a rendezvous with the Agena Docking target.. The crew is always trained on Orbital Mechanics sufficient to solve problems even without help from home (or a computer)😂.
Hey NASA TV, what was the point of the music in this video? It just distracted from what the speaker was saying. Isn't flying into space interesting enough for you? Do you really feel you need to jazz it up a little with music?
hmm..i rather would like a physical switch that doesnt work then a touchscreen that is not reacting. =) Joke aside..when that screen malfunctions..all functions are not acessable anymore..or is there a backup plan?
I'd think they put all the critical mission switches on the physical boards. The displays would be just for information and whatnot. Remember, this is the space industry, redundancy is the key to everything.
Pretty sure NASA uses touch screens that are a little better caliber than iPads made by slave labor in china :P Not to mention, i'm sure the astronaut gloves probably have magnet in the tips for a little better response.
For ground landing you need a very large open and flat area near equator + its preatty dangerous because you must have a retro rockets that will slow down the capsule a secound before it hit the ground. Water absorb the kinetic energy and makes landing much softer.
A "frozen OS" is not a computer which has stopped working but one caught in a loop. The spacecraft OS is written specifically to escape all loops and if necessary restart automatically. Just like they did with the Apollo 11 LEM descent when it errored several times -- and rebooted mid-flight. Unlike Earth OSes, it is possible never to get trapped in loops. Too bad MS doesn't know that.
I hate to say this, but it won't be Nasa because its budget is abysmally small and constantly shrinking, it wont be us here in Europe because ESA hasn't really figured out our complicated reentry capsule - bullet thing yet, which means we won't be having manned missions any time soon, and it's probably not going to be spaseX either, because it's a company, and unless they can figure out a way to sell space exploration, there is no way they can finance the whole thing. It's probably going to be someone that already operates manned missions like China or Russia with some modified version of existing, more reliable spacecraft. Especially Russia has a good chance at going to mars first. If I had to bet I would bet Russia in the late 2020s
Surely you don't believe them will only be restricted to the capsule for long periods of time do you? They will carry habitat modules for long time missions.
James DeRuvo Well, check out the NASA's videos, it is in there. I think that they are studying at least two designs and procedures on going to Mars. but they have time to work that out. Going to Mars with a manned mission is very dangerous and they will have to get it right or all will be lost and nobody wants that.
Remember that the computers do not have as much processing power as a move phone or home computer. They are light and energy efficient. Not powerful. They don't have to do as many calculations as Skyrim or KSP needs.
@@theamazingknight5472 Actually, they're chosen to be as physically large as practical to minimize vulnerability to radiation. The Orion computer is a PowerPC 750FX series CPU which has transistors that are 130nm in scale, approximately 10 times bigger (100x the area) than current CPU's. Bigger transistors are *less* energy efficient and the weight difference between computer generations is insignificant. The Orion computer actually weighs about the same as the Apollo guidance computer since most of the weight is in the enclosure, shielding, connectors, and wire harnesses.
UGH! The interior looks very cold and sterile for long duration trips. I hope that they consider hiring an Interior Architect to design in some attractive padded bulkhead panels. If interested, give me a call. I will be happy to help!
NASA ! Listen up! Stop putting music on your videos! These are supposed to be documentaries. The music detracts from the documentary quality. . . NO MUSIC ON DOCUMENTARIES ! ! !

Weight vs. redundancy, the plight of the aerospace engineer
he was literally showing you photos of it, you could see it

Awesome! now you can play kerbal space program in space!!!
No, Orbiter is better! The more realism the better. Get NASSP for orbiter and be ready to take several weeks to learn the Apollo CM systems...
The interface looks just like the MFDs in Orbiter.
Awesome!

Criticism from the peanut gallery huh? I'm sure the PHDs at NASA will take you're comment under consideration...
Pretty amazing stuff!!

Cawfee Dawgg Haha yeah gave up replacing my lead acid battery with lifp04 system, just not reliable enough in my opinion.

Brilliant!
Did NASA decide against a ground landing? I have not heard them talk about landing bags in a while
For ground landing you need a very large open and flat area near equator + its preatty dangerous because you must have a retro rockets that will slow down the capsule a secound before it hit the ground. Water absorb the kinetic energy and makes landing much softer.
this song is discount fireflys
The only problem I have with computers rather than manual/physical switches is : what happens if the computer freezes?
that still doesn't solve the problem of computers freezing
You should make a very simple software + use multiple computers. IIRC Space Shuttle used as many as 5GPCs.

How works the solar engine?
Well done NASA, we are watching thing well done
Fucking Windows 98! Bring me Lee Morin!
Is the journey to Mars going to be the SECOND space race between NASA and SpaceX? Please dont tell me that.
You mean Russia.
KingOf TheCreepers no. I mean SpaceX
XpertPilotFSX what I meant is, BOTH!!!!!!! Now that's bad news ;(
O_O

When they say- survive for "years" ,one thing i think about is water and oxygen, won't those run out quickly?
They must dock with a habitat to survive in a year
***** look up Deep Space Habitat :)
Romeo Levii Water will be recycled as on ISS.
Away for months, or even years with a capsule? Yeah, good luck with that.
Surely you don't believe them will only be restricted to the capsule for long periods of time do you? They will carry habitat modules for long time missions.
ELECTROSTATIC ION ENGINES Yeah, I heard about that in another video. But I haven't seen a design, so that's always been my concern.
They have plenty of time to make a habitation module, as we won't go to Mars until the mid-2030s.

A centrifugal gravity wheel type craft would be the prime choice for long term space exploration!
This is awesome but at the same time sounds like a bad idea.+

That GUI is really old looking. You know what, it should just run android.

Why are you doing a one way trip? Two ways are better
A two way trip would increase the cost and technical difficulties enormously.
