How a touchscreen controls SpaceX’s new spacecraft

Glass is glass and glass breaks .. I don’t think it’s a good idea to use a touch screen

@William Davis but isn’t the future UAV? Meaning these two astronauts cold eventually be just passengers, the most they would have to do is select a docking port. Even if there was a stick, wouldn’t it be digital? But even the shuttle was fly by wire, how different are the two systems? Not much I suppose. Telling a pilot that their years of muscle memory are for naught, because the new system is more in common with a game controller. Isn’t that the path aerospace has been on since the start?
The flat panel display and touch screen was on NASA’s wish list from the start.

Once upon a time there was a man, and that man had a long name. Do you even know how cockpit dials and knobs are made? They are the ones surviving a crash ???? it’s also why investigators check them to see in what positions the where when the plane hit the ground..
At least a joystick and a must need panel should be there as a backup..
A touchscreen is cool but I doubt it will be the primary input for long, just hearing the pilots/astronauts last statement on the subject tells it all.
David The Swedish tech Guy
May 26, 2020 at 10:27 pm
KonFess big difference! It’s all about input and feeling even if it’s fly by wire????♂️ force feedback is key even in FBW, but yeah you have a point if there’s no trained pilots onboard there’s no meaning having a joystick.
Then you just need GO/DOCK/ABORT on the screen????♂️????

As I’ve said elsewhere, switching to a touchscreen saves SpaceX money and time on development. Touchscreen works perfectly well for a trained crew such as this one. Also, most flight operations will take place autonomously

Nyx Look at the Space Shuttle Interior It was full of buttons that’s not very easy to find the Buttons there. Also Crew Dragon has the most important buttons still analog.

May 26, 2020 at 9:49 pm
@Cool Gamer Not hard to find them if you’re a trained astronaut.. They have these interfaces memorized better than their own damn names! They tend to prefer analog dials, knobs, and buttons because it’s easier to control them without the need to look (as intensely), and because of the tactile feedback they get when using them for fine operations such as steering.

@Once upon a time there was a man, and that man had a long name. i ???? agree with you
Charles Butterworth

@Le Chat Botté The buttons that are actually there are for emergencies and confirming action’s. The touchscreen’s can be used for many many things, like displaying camera views, HUD’s, flight checklists, etc. Filling in the space with loads of cramped buttons that serve only 1 purpose is a waste of space.

That’s why there are 3. Any on of the screen’s can do all the work, that’s the benefit of having an adaptable control system. Imagine if the single centre screen on the shuttle were to fail, that would’ve been much worse.

Are you crazy? You can fit hundreds of buttons on a single screen. Meanwhile on old systems you have to stretch your arms around the entire cockpit looking for a single button out of the hundreds in front of you. New buttons and functions can be added too as a result of using a touchscreen rather than physical buttons because it takes up less space.

@Once upon a time there was a man, and that man had a long name. Neil Armstrong would have disagreed with you. If Gemini 8 had touchscreen controls he would never have survived the trim back to earth, let alone going to the moon.

Charles Butterworth

The astronauts have been routinely tested and so have their familes and anyone who is in close contact with them, they’ve been in quarantine with their families in their homes in houston for 2 months and been in quarantine themselves for 2 week’s now prior to launch.

Charles Butterworth

Yeah, but you don’t really fly a spaceship like a plane. Have a go in Kerbal Space Program and you’ll see they act differently. Simply it’s positioning the aircraft to face a point and firing the engines for a set amount of time.
Kirk Claybrook
May 27, 2020 at 12:18 am
@Charles Butterworth You’re obviously unfamiliar with Gemini 8. I think the Russians had a similar situation too. A touchscreen would have been useless and probably would have seen someone other than Neil Armstrong being the first man on the moon.

It’s a Blue Yet Mic, one of the best recording mic’s. Smaller doesn’t always mean better. Like comparing a phone camera to a proper DSLR or Cinema Camera, if you’re making professional grade content for YouTube then a Yeti mic is the least you can do to improve sound quality.
