In those instances, NASA has precise plans in place, according to Byerly.“There are very in-depth contingency plans for different scenarios,” Byerly said. “The one that we had for shuttle was based on lessons learned during Challenger and Columbia, and there’s various versions of that for ISS and the other launches we do. And we developed a version of it for the SpaceX and Orbital flights.“It’s very prescriptive and specific, even down to what camera angles are shown and what happens on NASA TV.”
Favorite NASA TV person by a long way. Really enjoyed the article!
Excellent article as always from NSF.QuoteIn those instances, NASA has precise plans in place, according to Byerly.“There are very in-depth contingency plans for different scenarios,” Byerly said. “The one that we had for shuttle was based on lessons learned during Challenger and Columbia, and there’s various versions of that for ISS and the other launches we do. And we developed a version of it for the SpaceX and Orbital flights.“It’s very prescriptive and specific, even down to what camera angles are shown and what happens on NASA TV.”You know, I never really thought about this before, but it's so obvious now that I've heard about it. I'm curious as to what those plans are... but of course I'm going to assume they're held onto pretty tightly, so I suppose I'll just continue wondering
Damn, that covered so much! Thanks Marshall and thanks Josh!Can you say who you're working for now Josh? Are there fans of another industry getting the pleasure of your coverage?
Really enjoyed this video that Josh did a few years back regarding the Soyuz.[youtube]zxO-pM1lLZ0[/youtube]
Interesting article! Hey Josh, also a big fan as everyone here. Did you get to do dry runs in commentating on coverage like ascents with the rest of the MOD guys, or in some NASA PAO class?

Thanks for the interview!

Did you get to do dry runs in commentating on coverage like ascents with the rest of the MOD guys, or in some NASA PAO class? Great question. Yeah, you actually sit with the MCC team during some of the ascent and landing sims, and you sit back there and sort of run through things and practice the pacing of the calls. Since 133 kept slipping, I actually did about 8 sims, I think, and all of them were some sort of abort. I got really, really good at calling TALs, and they even threw in an ECAL and an RTLS. Those were sporty, to say the least.
Great to see this article about Josh. Happy to hear you're doing well!
