In the course of the Arizona moonwalks, scientists discovered the right way to talk their priorities succinctly and clearly to the flight management workforce, which then talked with the astronauts. If scientists wanted to vary the traverse plan to return to a web site for extra footage, as an example, they needed to rationalize the request to the flight director in cost. If the director authorized, a chosen individual communicated the knowledge to the crew. For this simulation, that individual was NASA astronaut Jessica Watkins, pictured above, who’s a geologist by coaching.
