Deep Space Navigation: Tool Tested as Emergency Navigation Device A tool that has helped guide sailors across oceans for centuries is now being tested aboard the International Space Station as a potential emergency navigation tool for guiding future spacecraft across the cosmos.

This week ISS Expedition 57 Commander, Alex Gerst, and Expedition 57 crew member Serena Aunon-Chancellor came into the SES Alpha Dome to learn how to use sextants for star pair measurements. This is being tested on the ISS for potential consideration as a contingency navigation device for Orion. Pretty cool stuff and a unique use of the Dome!

L-97: einer meiner Kinderträume wurde wahr: habe gelernt, lediglich mit einem Sextanten nach den Sternen zu navigieren (Als Test eines Backup Nav Systems für zukünftige Raumschiffe wie Orion). Wie passend zur Horizons Mission!
