Attitude and Orientation

 

Chris Hadfield , Astronaut

In space flight, “attitude” refers to orientation:

Which direction your vehicle is pointing relative to the Sun, Earth and other spacecraft.

If you lose control of your attitude

2 things happen:

The vehicle starts to tumble and spin

Disorienting everyone on board

And it also strays from its course

Which

If you’re short of time or fuel

Could mean the difference between life and death

In the Soyuz, for example

We use every cure from every available source

Periscope ,multiple sensors

 The Horizons

To monitor our attitude constantly and adjust if necessary

We never want to lose attitude since

maintain attitude is fundamental to success.

 

In my experience, something similar is true on Earth.

Ultimately, I don’t determine whether I arrive at the

Desired professional destination.

Too many variables are out of my control.

There’s really just one thing I can control.

My attitude during the journey:

Which is what keeps me headed in the right direction.

So I consciously monitor and correct,

If necessary,
