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

RE: https://stefanbohacek.online/@stefan/116375745501644380

#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.

#Orion’s big test is yet to come with the fiery 🔥 #reentry through Earth’s atmosphere on Friday.

So far, it’s looking like the rocket and spaceship needed for a lunar landing are getting there for #NASA. The biggest remaining piece of the architecture is the Human Landing System.

If the entry #angle is too steep, deceleration forces (braking effect due to #atmospheric friction) will become too large and the spacecraft can break up 💥. The steeper the entry angle, the higher the #heat 🌡️ flux, the measure for the amount of thermal energy absorbed by the heat shield every second. If the heat flux is higher than what the heat shield material can take, the heat shield will fail – most likely it will burn 🔥 through https://blogs.esa.int/rocketscience/2015/02/05/the-facts-on-reentry-accurate-navigation-is-everything

🇪🇺 #Nyx is compatible with #Ariane6, #Falcon9, #Neutron, #H3, and #GSLV. The "#Bikini" reentry demonstrator was intended to demonstrate the company's #reentry technology. Unfortunately, #Ariane6's upper stage failed on its deorbit burn, so the Bikini capsule remains stuck in space.
