Thank you to @NASA_Technology for flying Draper’s Multi-Environment Navigator, or DMEN, aboard New Shepard to improve terrain-relative navigation for future landings on the Moon and other planets. Proud to support Commercial Lunar Payload Services and this program.
We're testing new technologies to stick the landing on planetary surfaces with challenging terrain!
Over 4 months, 4 precision landing systems flew on 4 different vehicles, gathering key data for safer, more accurate landings for future missions.

Draper Lab's (@DraperLab) Multi-Environment Navigator (DMEN) is a vision based navigation technology for high altitude entry, descent, and landing missions to ensure safe landing.
In a recent BlueOrigin's New Shepard NS-29, DMEN algorithms were validated.
"DMEN is a self-contained package that weighs 4 pounds and fits within a volume of 10in x 10in x 8in. All necessary hardware is contained within the system, except for the external camera lens, including an inertial measurement unit sensor, camera body, processing, sensor circuitry and battery power. A powerful suite of algorithms processes the sensor data into a navigation solution, providing capability for visual-inertial odometry and visual terrain-based absolute positioning."

II) Toys for Tots - 2024:
Along with the staff of Draper, the members of Engine 2 & Ladder 3 (group 3) assisted in bagging & loading the toys onto the truck for delivery to the Toys for Tots center at the US Marine Corps depot in South Boston.
THANK YOU to all!

Toys for Tots Teamwork!
After the truck was filled with toys, the people of Draper & Cambridge Fire stopped for a quick photo break.
Thank you!

.@DraperLab received the Apollo Program's first major contract — with no statement of work and almost no specifications.
Draper engineered guidance and control systems to provide autonomous navigation and flight control for the Apollo spacecraft Command and Lunar Modules.

Giving an invited talk at Draper!
The Moon was greeted by the "Back to the Moon" sign.
Also, enjoying the technology square with many tech companies, labs, and institutes, including the Chris Voigt lab and Moderna!
