A year in orbit: ISS deployment tests radiation detectors for future space missions
The predawn darkness on a cool Florida night was shattered by the ignition of nine Merlin engines on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. The thrust of the engines shook the ground miles away. From a distance, the rocket appeared to slowly rise above the horizon. For the cargo onboard, the launch was anything but gentle, as the ignition of liquid oxygen generated more than 1.5 million pounds of force. After the rocket had been out of sight for several minutes, the booster dramatically returned to Earth with several sonic booms in a captivating show of engineering designed to make space travel less expensive and more sustainable.

One of the challenges associated with COVID-19 work restrictions has been the transition of training, qualification, and mentoring activities from live, in-person exchanges to virtual/hybrid platforms. This panel session highlights both positive aspects of these changes as well as challenges associated with them. Viewpoints of both trainers and trainees will be presented. Attendees will gain insight on how to optimize their virtual/hybrid training and learning experience. We invite the audience to join the conversation to share best practices and lessons learned for code training, hands-on experiences, on-site process familiarization, and mentoring in these environments
