(1/8) Deep Dive 1 on the Ship Quick Disconnect (SQD) or “squid”. Following the excellent format used by Zack (@CSI_Starbase). First thread: “Axes of Motion” (at least 5 but could be 6 or 7 axes). 📸@Starshipgazer (2/8) 1. SQD Arm on Orbital Launch Integration Tower (OLIT): Deploy/Retract (60 deg. of motion) about 17 m of clearance to OLM when retracted.
