Umberto Guidoni Quotations

In particular, this arm has 7 degrees-of-freedom that makes the overall motion of the arm very complex so that, before you start driving the arm, you should be very familiar with all the position it can get.

And since Italy was involved in the space station as well as signed an agreement with NASA. And when the possibility to enter the 1996 Mission Specialist class.

And just when we were at the end of our design process there was the news that the Italian government and the U.S. government had signed an agreement to fly the first Italian astronaut on that flight.

When this space walk will be completed, then the arm will be fully operational and ready for the next activity that will be pretty much the testing, the first flight testing of the space station arm.

During that space walk there will be some repositioning of the power so that the arm can be fully controlled by the robotic station that is in the Lab.

And then my chance really happened in 1996 when we added the second flight of the tether satellite.

And so, I will be probably, since I am not involved in all the activity, I will have some spare time to devote to document all this busy part of the flight.

And this will be a very delicate task because, of course, again we are moving a very massive object and we are moving against this station.

Well, when I was a teenager, my uncle used to give me science book, and he also gave me the first telescope. And I started to look at the stars.

Because, of course, almost all of the rest of the crewmembers will be pretty busy with this, with the activity of the rendezvous and docking.
