The Callisto tech demonstration aboard Orion features an iPad that’s currently displaying messages sent from Earth.
Needless to say, NASA didn’t just grab an iPad off the shelf and ram it into Orion. The hardware had to be modified such that it’s protected from all that nasty radiation in deep space. Also, there’s no internet around the Moon, which means the Alexa app cannot freely access the cloud, a set of software and services located on ground-based servers. And even if it could, the 2.6-second lag would be a major drag.
As for the teleconferencing aspect, “Webex will connect and conference the onboard tablet with Webex devices and whiteboards inside a room in the Mission Control Center, demonstrating how video collaboration, with compression technology, can be used over the Deep Space Network,” NASA said.The agency’s private partners provided unique hardware that’s making it possible to test Callisto without astronauts on board.
The team is also making it possible for people to have their names and messages displayed on the Orion iPad “for all the world to see.” To do so, go to the and scroll down until you see the “Communicate with Callisto” form. Should your message be approved, it will appear inside the Orion capsule, which is currently en route to a distant retrograde orbit around the Moon.The old saying is that in space no one can hear you scream, but you can convey a scream in written text and have it displayed on a screen in space. Now you know.
