Can anyone explain what the number before the timestamp is?
GMT 66 / 43 / 41
- mmh0000 3y agoAs a date command format string: ``` $ date -u '+GMT %-j/%R:%S' GMT 66/17:05:57 ```
- ins0 3y agoIt's the DayOfTheYear followed by Hours, Minutes and seconds in UTC.
- diggan 3y agoIs this the datetime format they use onboard on the ISS or why is it being used in this webui? This is the first time I come across this particular format, but also never near space-stuff so wouldn't surprise me if they use some specific format for some specific purpose.
- pyrolux 3y agoThat's very common in ISS operation schedules - next spacewalk is on GMT xx next launch on GMT xx, etc I expect it's easier and more useful to track days until event or days since event
- dr_orpheus 3y agoYes, using Day of Year for time GUIs and measurements is pretty common in spacecraft operations. Generally easier to do/plan operations for things like "we need to perform this maintenance activity every 5 days"
- dr_kiszonka 3y ago66 could be the day of the year.
