Details of Critical Proximity Operations on Historic Artemis II Crewed Lunar Mission

An article with details of the various space-grade hardware supporting the Artemis II mission’s 70-minute Rendezvous and Proximity Operations (RPO) demonstration. The demonstration was a key milestone in advancing human deep space exploration through the first crewed lunar mission in more than 50 years.

The RPO maneuver was conducted between NASA’s Orion spacecraft and the Space Launch System’s (SLS) Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage (ICPS). During this operation, Orion executed a series of navigation exercises, including both manual and automated maneuvers, demonstrating precise control while operating near another spacecraft.

Inspirational Insights from Jim Skaggs, NASA’s last living Apollo Lunar Landing Program Director

Jim Skaggs is a living legend in the Space economy. As NASA’s last living original Apollo Lunar Landing program director from the 1960s - he was the youngest individual in the US government to ever serve at that level of responsibility.

Jim visited Vorago Technologies to speak with our team about what it takes to be victorious to tackle the harsh conditions of space, with lessons that are applicable to each and every one of us. Thank you Jim for your life's work and leadership. Come back to see us any time, as we lead in rad-hard and rad-tolerant semiconductors for any mission, in any orbit.

Apollo Lunar Lander Director Jim Skaggs + Radiation In Space Based On Different Orbits

Did you know different levels of radiation impact the performance of space electronics? While new concepts like "Space Fueling" to extend the life of satellites and rocket payloads is one consideration, radiation protection is another key element of long-mission life.

Many errors can take place in microchips in equipment and computing as total ionizing doses of radiation cause latch-up, single event errors, or a variety of other issues. The harsh environment of space impacts degrade the physics of microchips, which will impact the performance of Orbital Data Centers.
