  5. RE: mastodon.social/@arstechnica/1

    Whether or not the #HeatShield worked, there was nothing I could do. There’s so much we didn’t model correctly on entry. There was a point—there’s something that I feel that I am not ready to say to the public yet

  10. Artemis II Crew Returns After Lunar Flyby; Questions Linger on Heat Shield Durability

    Artemis II astronauts splashed down safely after a 10-day moon trip. NASA is looking into heat shield durability after a prior test issue.

    It will take several hours to several days for engineers to complete their initial inspections of the #Orion spacecraft, but the successful return to Earth on Friday proved the #HeatShield did its job.

    #Spacecraft are designed to be as un-aerodynamic as possible to maximise drag and help them slow down.

    This deceleration during #reentry can be extremely harsh. A shock wave will envelop the spacecraft, creating air temperatures of 10,000°C 🌡️ or more – about twice the temperature of the surface of the #Sun.

    The #Artemis I #HeatShield ablation during re-entry was much larger than expected. Large chunks of material separated from the heat shield in some places.

  21. #Artemis II astronauts will splash down Friday using a new reentry technique at 32 times the speed of sound that has yet to be tested in real-world scenarios. Because Artemis I went back into space between the first dip into the atmosphere, the hot interior of the #HeatShield kept producing gases, but the exterior was no longer shedding material fast enough to allow those gases to escape.
