Artemis II Moon Watch - Jeb Stefan

Inside the Orion Mission Evaluation Room in Mission Control at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, the engineers who helped build Orion’s systems were watching them fly on Artemis II. As Victor Glover test‑drove Orion with crew onboard for the first time on flight day one, Jeb Stefan monitored data from the Rendezvous, Proximity Operations, and Docking console.

What is said in the film

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.
