Looking forward to the New Glenn launch and was thinking about their business case. The capacity is roughly Falcon Heavy or Delta IV but those don’t/didn’t fly very often. What is their target payload size and what would their launch cadence be? Old graphic from BO for reference

Just the Bishop Airlock doing her thing on the ISS on a Monday night. Nice work ROBO. And a sweet photo bomb by Dragon 😁

Open positions ➡️ buff.ly/3W7ihyG See our #GITAI robot hard at work on the ISS, demonstrating its advanced dexterity and precision! From grasping tools to loosening and tightening screws, our autonomous robots are designed to handle crucial tasks in space. #robotics

I couldn’t resist posting this cool pic of the Nanoracks Bishop Airlock with the SpaceX Dragon photobombing. Lots of great @Space_Station #ROBO work going with the dance of robotic arms. #ProudPapaMoment 😂

There’s our baby putting in some work in LEO. The Nanoracks Bishop Airlock doing some payload robotic operations on the @Space_Station right now. So proud of the team making her work so well. For all those that helped and cheered us along the way, hopefully you recognize her.

Second launch this week. Not too shabby 😁. Even better when watching with my mom who is a big space fan. And first time watching from Playalinda Beach. Good spot!

A little bit of space overload this weekend with my brother in law. Caught a SpaceX launch AND landing (I missed the landing with my phone, I was too slow!). A weather scrub yesterday but went today. We did all kinds of stuff from SpaceX sorbet to seeing Atlantis to …

… seeing the launch to Dixie Crossroads for old times sake to seeing a SpaceX booster return to port and chatting with June Scobee, wife of Challenger Commander Dick Scobee who the mission was named after. Well done Cygnus!! June was also a fellow Aggie AND she liked my shirt 😁

Just a @Nanoracks Bishop Airlock out doing her thing in Low Earth Orbit :) And a shout out to our partners @ATAEngineering @Thales_Alenia_S and @Oceaneering for being great team members and helping Airlock come to fruition and work like a champ

The @GITAI_HQ personnel making the difficult seem routine. The on orbit operations of their S2 is very impressive and I was lucky enough to pay the team a visit and cheer them on. And proud of the #BishopAirlock working like a champ and supporting these types of cool payloads

Well done @GITAI_HQ Now time for S2 to show off!! And good job @Nanoracks and #ISS #ROBO flight controllers on a beautiful robotic choreography

#GITAI's 1.5-meter-long autonomous dual robotic arm system (S2) has been installed outside the ISS Bishop airlock by #NASA!  We are now going to check the status of the system, including the establishment of communication. *This video clip is not computer graphics.

OK fellow space robotics fans, a cool ballet of robotics is playing out onboard the #ISS and it is live on the ISS publicly available live stream on YouTube. It involves the @GITAI_HQ robotic arm payload and the @Nanoracks #BishopAirlock. See more details in the comments

The @GITAI_HQ S2 robotic payload is being extracted by the ISS smaller arm (SPDM) while the ISS big arm (SSRMS) is supporting the @Nanoracks Bishop Airlock. Well done ISS #ROBO and Gitai-NR teams. Sorry, I don't have access to high res pics but hopefully GITAI & NR will post.

Congrats to the GITAI team for a great first step in a super cool and complex S2 demonstration mission. S2 installation into the Nanoracks Bishop Airlock was performed by the astronaut crew and followed by a successful activation and verification by the joint GITAI/Nanoracks team

! Mission Update ! 🤖 GITAI’s S2 Autonomous Robotic Arm assembly onboard the @Space_Station has been successfully initiated to demonstrate the design, build, and operations of our extravehicular robotic systems. Stay tuned for more updates to come... blogs.nasa.gov/spacestation/…

Sooo, if you’re into space robotics, this is a cool mission to follow! 🤓

Then using the Space Station small arm, SPDM, to grapple the S2 and move it to the outside payload sites on the Airlock. Then the big arm reberths the Airlock back on ISS and S2 is ready for payload operations with lots of robotic tasks.

S2 is now ready to go outside the ISS. Next up is the transfer operation in about a week. This operation will be a beautiful choreography of unberthing the Airlock from the ISS using the Space Station big arm, SSRMS.
