On this episode of Roid Rage, Principal Flight Science Engineer Loic joins the pod to break down how we use Monte Carlo simulations to navigate deep space - starting with how we avoid hitting the Moon. Loic walks us through how probabilistic modeling, error bounding, and trajectory optimization keep DeepSpace‑2 on target. This episode covers everything from solar pressure to thrust vector error, and why simulating failure is core to mission design.

What does it take to turn CAD into physical flight hardware? In this episode, we talk with Kyle, Structures Technician at AstroForge, about machining, bonding, and building the real spacecraft parts that actually fly. From epoxy failures to last-minute fixes, this is what happens between the model and the mission.
