grakenverb - 24/3/2008 1:04 PMAre the Orion plans finalized yet, or is it still a work in progress? Also, are there plans to record the construction of Orion with video?
jcopella - 16/3/2008 7:03 PMWhat do we know about either the flight and/or ground system software architecture for Cx at this point? (computing platforms, operating systems, languages, networks, methodologies, applications, etc.)
Ronsmytheiii - 24/3/2008 8:47 PMWill LIDS support SSPTS since it seems that Orion will not need it owing to the fact that it has its own solar panels? And if not, will SSPTS need to be removed post-shuttle for the LIDS-APAS adapter or at the very least some parts on PMA?

Will there be a MSS for Ares similer to the Saturn/ Apollo MSS?
LIDS will contain umbilicals which will be capable of passing TBD watts of power. But, it's my understanding that those requirements are being driven by the lunar mission, not by station.
Can a craft using LIDS be docked using a robotic device (ala SSRMS)? I know APAS cannot, however with the need for less force to engage I am not sure for LIDS.
Will Orion capsule have touchscreen or usual screen with usual buttons?
Ok, here is a diagram of the SM, I couldn't find the thread, so I recreated it.I eliminated the redundant thrusters and only had a single fore and aft on each cluster. The clusters are located 45 degrees off the planes of each major axis. There are two more clusters mirrored on the other side, which I will refer to the "other side of the page"
I will list the 6 degrees of freedom and the associated thrusters that are need to produce a movement or rotation.pitch down - 2 & 4 and 1 &3 on the other side of the pageyaw right - 2 & 3 and 1 & 4 on the other side of the pageroll right - 1 & 2 and 1 & 2 on the other side of the pageForward translation - 1 & 4 and 1 & 4 on the other side of the page
right translation - 1 & 2 and 3 & 4 on the other side of the pagedown translation - 1 & 2 and 3 & 4
Well, all except this one. Did you mean "2 & 4"? I don't see how two forward-facing thrusters and two aft-facing thrusters can produce a net forward translation.
