The Balance | RocketLab catches Electron w/ a Helicopter, Boeing OFT-2, AG3D gets a 3D Scanner, and Staying on Mission - a podcast by Alex G. Orphanos, Science Communicator

On this episode we recap the latest from a busy May in Space, including:

- Boeing’s OFT-2 gets a Part DEUX after fixing some valve issues 

- James Webb Space Telescope continues Science Instrument commissioning 

- Rocket Lab catches their Electron Rocket with a Helicopter and the CAPSTONE spacecraft is on its way to New Zealand for an Artemis/Gateway mission to the Moon

- The AG3D lab gets a new 3D Scanner

We discuss the balance of staying on mission when things get tough, busy, and confusing. JWST is a great story of staying on mission

Have a great week and make sure to spread love and spread science!
