Do you know the systems that operate a spacecraft? Using Crew Dragon as an example, I will show you what happens inside to make a spacecraft operate. 🚀

🧵⬇️ 🚨‼️Many of the following photos of diagrams (not all) are similar to those actually on Dragon. Using an open source project, which I expanded, I recreated many diagrams like those actually on Crew Dragon's built in displays.
Diagrams are not 1:1 factual replicas.

"Dragon, SpaceX; for possible conjunction"
Crew-2 had a possibility to impact an object in space during their coast to the ISS.

SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell was summoned into SpaceX Mission Control when the object was tracked.

The story: 🧵
At approximately ~17:20:00 GMT, SpaceX Mission Control was notified of a trackable object that was on the path of Crew Dragon Endeavour's Coast. Endeavour was operating normally, and following its autonomous coasting instructions.

Fram2 Mission Overview
@SpaceX's Dragon Resilience is expected to launch on March 21st, with a 3-hour variable launch window.

Below, is a comprehensive thread with information I have gathered regarding the upcoming mission, carrying the first people to orbit Earth's poles ever. The Crew
Chun Wang, Mission Commander, is an entrepreneur and adventurer from Malta. From an early age, Chun dreamed of both exploring the polar regions of the Earth and traveling to space and in his pursuit of this goal, began exploring and learning more about both frontiers. He selected a crew of international adventurers that he met through these pursuits and is eager to complete this historic mission

Jannicke Mikkelsen, Vehicle Commander, is a Norwegian film director and cinematographer specializing in fringe technology that includes creating next-generation technology for movies shot in remote and hazardous environments such as the Arctic, ocean, aviation and space. In 2019, Jannicke served as Payload Specialist on the record-breaking polar circumnavigation flight One More Orbit mission in celebration of the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11. She is an experienced storyteller and looks forward to utilizing technology to share the polar region with the world.

Rabea Rogge, Mission Pilot, is a robotics researcher from Germany, currently pursuing her PhD in Norway. She has always been fascinated by extreme environments and studies them to understand the current limits of our world–and learn how to push beyond them. Her work spans unique topics that include leading satellite missions to ocean robotics in the Arctic.

Eric Philips, Mission Specialist and Medical Officer, is an Australian professional polar adventurer and guide who has completed numerous ski expeditions to the North and South Poles. He is co-founder of the International Polar Guides Association and co-creator of the Polar Expeditions Classification Scheme, which has earned him international recognition and respect.

Crew-10 | Endurance
Because of how the waste management system and the ECLSS (Environmental control and life support systems) on Dragon work, there is a possibility of malfunction between the units.

Crew-10 is experiencing an issue with it.
Information is down below in replies🧵

During the ongoing coast phase en route to the ISS, Dragon's active monitoring, the crew, and the ground noticed a liquid burst disk rupture in the waste system (toilet).
Like pretty much everything has a backup. The crew is going to use backup bags for their waste.
