MIT SPHERES project on ISS
The MIT Space Systems Laboratory developed the SPHERES (Synchronized Position Hold Engage and Reorient Experimental Satellites) laboratory environment to provide DARPA, NASA, and other researchers with a long term, replenishable, and upgradable testbed for the validation of high risk metrology, control, and autonomy technologies for use in formation flight and autnomous docking, rendezvous and reconfiguration algorithms. These technologies are critical to the operation of distributed satellite and docking missions such as Terrestrial Planet Finder and Orbital Express.The first of three SPHERES satellites reached the International Space Station on 24-April-2006 aboard Progress P21. The first (of hopefully many) operating sessions occurred on Thursday, 18-May-2006 from 10:30am-1:30pm CST.

cruising around town, or running to the store.

fabric color is Dark Charcoal, while the dash, center instrument panel
