MOLA First Turn-On in Circular Orbit
Views From the MOLA Control Room
Rob Afzal, Xiaoli Sun, Greg Elman and Oded Aharonson check telemetry at the initial turn-on of MOLA during the MOC calibration period -- our first turn-on in the MGS 400-km circular orbit.
The smiles of Rob Afzal, Jim Abshire, Xiaoli Sun, Greg Elman, Oded Aharonson, Jeff Schott and Peggy Jester tell the story that the MOLA laser is functioning as expected in the MGS mapping orbit.
