SpaceX Falcon Heavy STP2 🚀 Learning Day 🛰️
This past week I was honored to be invited by NASA Social to watch SpaceX launch the Falcon Heavy for the STP-2 mission. STP2 which stands for Space Test Program and was needed to demonstrate that the Falcon Heavy works before getting being approved for more sensitive projects.
The best part about the whole launch though was getting to meet the scientists whose projects went up on the Falcon Heavy. This was a two day trip and in this video, day 1, you can learn about some of the projects that were developed over the last 10 years that finally got to go up into space.
Be sure to tune into part 2 tomorrow when the launch occurs!

Deep Space Atomic Clock
The DSAC demonstration unit and payload will be hosted on the Orbital Test Bed and spacecraft provided by General Atomics of Englewood, Colorado. The DSAC project will perform a year-long demonstration in space. The new DSAC timepiece will use mercury ions to provide a measure of time that is stable to better than one microsecond per decade. It will provide the time and frequency stability needed for the next generation of deep space navigation and radio science missions, and potentially for future GPS satellites. This technology promises to improve the quality and flow of mission data by enabling a shift to a more flexible radio navigation architecture, freeing precious communications bandwidth currently reserved for navigation. DSAC is a partnership between NASA’s Space Technology Mission Directorate and the Space Communications and Navigation program office, a program under the Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate. The project is managed by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
