Astronaut Stan Love UW Astronomy Alumni - Lead CapCom for the Artemis II mission!

Submitted by Liza Young on

It was a real thrill to find out that Stan is the primary source of communication between the Artemis II crew and the ground.  This is a very technical and prized job. Stan is a perfect choice, he was an extremely brilliant grad student in our department.  The surprise of hearing Stan reminded me of a previous surprise from our other dept astronaut - Pinky Nelson.  We watched the first Shuttle landing on the dry lake at  Edwards AFB and were thrilled when our radio announced that Pinky was in the T-38 chase plane that flew along side the Shuttle.
