Artemis II Moon Watch - Ami Killeen

"Artemis II crew, we hear you loud and clear. Inside Mission Control’s Orion Mission Evaluation Room at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, engineers like Ami Killeen kept a close eye on Orion’s communication systems, keeping us seamlessly connected with the crew as they continued their journey toward the Moon.

What is said in the film

Any day that we get to see the crew and see their smiling faces, is very exciting. That's the biggest motivation for us on the ground. My name is Ami Killeen. The console I'm supporting is the communication and tracking console. So the team is responsible for all the communication systems, on Orion, One of the things that we're monitoring closely is our audio system.

This is a new set of hardware for Artemis II because we do not have crew on board for autonomous one. So we really want to get the crew's feedback on how the audio is working for them. As of 30s ago. You are now closer to the moon than you are to us on Earth. Wow, Jackie, thank you for sharing that with us.

We all kind of had a collective, expression of joy. We're actually going to be checking out an algorithm called SAT mode. SAT stands for search, acquire and track. If the vehicle losses navigation state, or we get into a situation where we have, extended loss of comm the set mode will be able to reacquire both the ground stations, and regain communication with mission control. Every flight is going to need communication with the crew and video and imagery.

So I think checking out those systems now is extremely important for any future missions. One of the things that we're monitoring closely is our audio system. This is a new set of hardware for Artemis II because we do not have crew on board for autonomous one.
