Does anyone know what kind of payloads this plane is used for? Something relatively light but requiring a large volume?

As there are only 5 of those built, there doesn’t seem to be a big demand for these, and the payload capacity is the same as the standard body version.

> But for some applications, accuracy is less important than precision. Precision has to do not with delineating the perfect second but rather with creating extremely regular ticks, or oscillations.

I don’t follow here, doesn’t accuracy follow if you have a precise oscillator? What is the difference between an accurate or a precise clock?

The simulator was released by them ahead of the first crewed SpaceX flight. The UI is based on the real UI of the spacecraft.

Here is my solution, written in Go and running in the browser via WebAssembly: https://github.com/mbertschler/dragon-iss-docking-autopilot

This autopilot doesn't use the rotation and translation rates as input, just the momentary values. It also uses the same control function for all axes.

Great job. I starred this repository because of the interesting optimization techniques, could come in handy in my own projects.

When my team at a previous company finished a multi month migration of a large PHP app to the cloud we held a large deploy party where everyone gathered in a room and the CEO pressed a space bar labeled DEPLOY. A script ran, the load balancer config was upgraded and the whole team cheered for something ungraspable like this website in the cloud.
