Odyssey arrival is shortly before 11 AM EST (16:00 UTC) on Tuesday.

Astrosammy, let's get Chronus gassed up for the retrieval flight, and start working on a launch window.

Sorindafabico, I'll need you to do Odyssey's EOI burn by remote. I'll be at work, but I can meet you in chat Tuesday at 15:30 UTC

And there was a great mission ... But wait, I am from the next generation, let's do it better !

When is the EOI scheduled? I can't be online tuesday afternoon (no problem tuesday morning until 14:00 UTC, but I don't know if a MCC is possible).

 

[TMac3000]

PeA will occur at about 15:56. The burn should start some 20 minutes before that.

That's not a problem--as long as you can do the burn at the right time, you can post the new state whenever you're ready. A chat meeting would be nice, but it's not strictly necessary.

 

[sorindafabico]

I will be away from keyboard tuesday afternoon (sorry, in your PM I took late morning EST as late morning in my time zone, which is +2 from EST, my bad...). But I have a proposal:

We both can set the autoburn feature of IMFD running while away (for redundancy). If you get a CTD, we use my state. Also, we can use a second backup if anything goes wrong with you and me.

 

[SolarLiner]

In wrost, I am in the last week of holidays tomorrow, so I can be there by remote for tuesday

 

[TMac3000]

That's fine. You just saved our butts, SolarLiner!
The burn should start about 15:50 UTC, and last about 10 minutes. We're counting on you

@Sorindafabico: I actually considered doing that at one point. You'll have to show me how

 

[sorindafabico]

Just set up the burn, click on "AB" and keep Orbiter running when you are out. Without a CTD, the ship would be orbiting Earth when you come back.

As this is "CTDangerous" we would need redundancy, ie, two or more people doing the same.

But SolarLiner saved the day

Okay, this is 16:30 for me local time, this will work well (tea time ) ! Video connection as usual

Nothing to do today ... Some special space art for you, Odyssey crew

I hope I didn't put anything wrong in it !

Only one thing--Lord Wasteland never joined the team. She made some noises about it, and then we never heard from her again She wasn't aboard Odyssey.

Other than that, it's fabulous:thumbup:

I have some problems with broadcaster softs, I might be not online at the right time ... But I will record it, and send you playback + youtube video maybe ... I am sorry for that, I cannot bring my PC into a 350km car trip to my vacation houses ^^

 

[TMac3000]

The recording is not that important...and long as the burn gets done!

Love that, absolutely beautiful. :thumbup:

Maybe just blend the terminator of the moon a little bit, so it doesnt look so sharp.

 

[SolarLiner]

Vosh ! Just in time that I forgot to CTRL+F5 and record. But here it is, Odyssey is now safely around the Earth ! Welcome back TMac3000, Mojoey, RickD, Felipi and Lydia ! You have a place in the Iron Hill history !

 

[TMac3000]

Reading that was an emotional moment for me
I've been calm about it all this time, knowing it was coming. But when I actually read the announcement...wow.

307 days, and over 200 million kilometers. We're home! I can't believe we did it!

With the return of Odyssey, I am officially announcing the creation of my new VSA: Real Time Incorporated. This company is dedicated to the conduct of translunar and interplanetary missions without time compression.

A social group will be created with several threads, dedicated to different aspects of spaceflight planning. The following Orbinauts are automatically extended job offers--just tell me what job you want

Mojoey, RickD, Felipi1205, Sorindafabico, Astrosammy, Indy91, BruceJohnJennerLawson, SolarLiner, Tacolev, Rtyh-12, Samuel Edwards, Athena

At the moment, available teams are Trajectory planning, Flight crew, and Public Relations. A sign-up thread will also be created

 

[sorindafabico]

I would like trajectory planning for now, but I would like to set foot on the Moon in the future.

 

[TMac3000]

It's time to recover the crew. Sorindafbico, can you gas up Chronus for us and calculate a launch window?

 

[sorindafabico]

Something weird happening:
