In a significant diversion, I’ve been boot-strapping a modification to Wikipedia’s article on the Common Berthing Mechanism, which I find woefully modest. The formatting and editorial style of Wikipedia are rather constraining, so I’m using this site to prototype the material. That will also provide me with additional grist for examples down the road.
I’ve release eight very brief pages so far, each of which scratches the surface on a technical issue that was a characteristic technical aspect of the development:
Contact Mechanics Under High-Vacuum
Assembly Operations: Grapple, Berth, and Dock
More to come.
