An inspiration to countless girls, Dr. Kalpana Chawla was the first woman of Indian descent to go to space, a pilot, and an aerospace engineer. Chawla is pictured here on STS-107 in January 2003, two weeks before she and her crewmates perished during re-entry. #NASARemembers

Los satélites usan sistemas similares para reorientarse en los 3 ejes pitch, yaw, roll (elevación, dirección, alabeo). Lo interesante es que se logra con sistemas puramente eléctricos mediante recargar las baterías con el sol y sin gastar combustible.

So - there's the rocket you though you designed, and the rocket you actually built. It takes a while to learn how the rocket you actually built works. A few more wet dress rehearsals masquerading as launch attempts may be in the cards.
