Lunar Cruise: Day 2


Photos from the Launch Support Room. The first thing you see when you enter is this magnetic sticker I put up (courtesy of my sister's husband, Bill Anselm, a fellow Goddard employee). A logo for Lockheed Martin's Orion spacecraft is on the left.

Orion is the replacement for the space shuttle. It will transport astronauts to the International Space Station and, later, to the Moon, Near-Earth Objects (asteroids), and perhaps eventually Mars.

The LRO Flight Software development team lead, Mike Blau, is seated at the right in a blue shirt and blue jeans, appropriately enough.
