Jolyn Russell, deputy Robotics program manager at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center’s Satellite Servicing Projects Division in Maryland, speaks to members of social media in the Kennedy Space Center’s Press Site auditorium. The briefing focused on “Raven” research planned for the International Space Station. The Raven investigation studies a real-time robotic spacecraft navigation system that provides the eyes and intelligence to see a target and steer safely toward it. Raven will be part of experiments aboard a Dragon spacecraft scheduled for launch from Kennedy’s Launch Complex 39A on Feb. 18 atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket on the company's 10th Commercial Resupply Services mission to the space station
