Found this interesting item in my e-mail this mornning, from somebody working with the International Space Station project.
"BTW, A lot of NASA guys love your site. I have heard that some of the Astronauts have chosen their personal equipment to take into orbit based on your evaluations.
The Shuttle Remote Maneuvering System (SRMS) "robotic arm" uses donut shaped arrays with a bunch of LED's for the illuminators and current redesigns are in certification testing to change out the payload bay lights with LED arrays."
I checked the weblogs, and sure enough I get a lot of hits out of various NASA installations, including the Johnson Space Center and other installations. But to think that astronauts are using my writeups to choose which lights they take into space, that is something else!
