Remote desktop: Lunar edition<\/p>\n
Since physical IT support is obviously not an option during a lunar mission, Mission Control in Houston had to intervene remotely. Flight controllers spent approximately one hour accessing Commander Wiseman’s Surface Pro from Earth to reload necessary files and resolve the configuration error.<\/p>\n
During a subsequent press briefing, Flight Director Judd Frieling noted that such issues are not uncommon, explaining that Outlook often encounters synchronisation challenges when operating on a delayed or indirect network connection, a technical hurdle amplified by the vast distance between the spacecraft and Earth\u2019s communication infrastructure.<\/p>\n
What’s the space gear? <\/p>\n
Despite the temporary email drama, the crew is packing some seriously high-end tech to keep them busy. While waiting for their inboxes to cooperate, the astronauts have a gear list that includes Nikon D5 DSLRs for those moon shots and GoPros to capture every angle for their upcoming Disney and National Geographic documentary.<\/p>\n
In a hilariously human touch, the crew was even allowed to bring their personal phones, which eagle-eyed viewers spotted being tucked into spacesuit pockets right before liftoff\u2014because apparently, even on a trip to the Moon, you don’t leave home without your podcasts and playlists.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a curious mix of elite NASA hardware and the same gadgets we use every day, which shows that the journey to the lunar surface looks a lot like a very expensive, very fast road trip. So, they could be snapping professional-grade photos of the lunar horizon or just making sure they have their smartphones handy for a quick post-orbit scroll, the Artemis II crew is officially the most well-equipped group of travelers in the solar system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Remote desktop: Lunar edition Since physical IT support is obviously not an option during a lunar mission, Mission…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":377913,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[181091,85,46,181090,181093,141,145,181092],"class_list":{"0":"post-377912","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-space","8":"tag-artemis-ii-moon-flyby-time-uae","9":"tag-il","10":"tag-israel","11":"tag-nasa-artemis-ii-livestream-netflix","12":"tag-nasa-moon-mission-2026","13":"tag-science","14":"tag-space","15":"tag-watch-artemis-ii-live-netflix"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/377912","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=377912"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/377912\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/377913"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=377912"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=377912"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=377912"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
