SPACE TALK
The CAPSTONE mission launched this morning and is heading toward an orbit intended in the future for Gateway, a lunar outpost that will support NASA's #Artemis program. A CubeSat, CAPSTONE will test the stability of Gateway's planned orbit⤵️ https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/capstone-launches-to-test-new-orbit-for-nasa-s-artemis-moon-missions
In a mission first, CDSE member @Axiom_Space tested an @awscloud Snowcone device in orbit during Ax-1. A machine-learning algorithm on the device automatically reviewed, catalogued, & identified objects in photos taken during experiments: http://ow.ly/gJsO50JILw5 via @geekwire
