The exciting finale of the Artemis 1 mission will involve a reentry technique never attempted for a passenger spacecraft.
Earth, heat-induced plasma ionization will result in a blackout period. Three small drogue parachutes are set to deploy when Orion is roughly 24,000 feet above the surface, while the main parachute is set to deploy at 6,800 feet. In all, Orion’s 11 parachutes will take the craft from 350 mph to 20 mph . So from start to finish, Orion’s speed will go from 20,000 miles per hour down to the expected 20 mph—“that’s a lot of energy that we’re dissipating,” Frieling said.
to the space agency. The consequence of this wide range was that multiple U.S. Navy ships had to be stationed at remote locations along the expected trajectory to perform recovery operations.Skip reentries allow for far greater precision across a much larger range—a 5,524-mile-long range, to be exact. “We extend the range by skipping back up out of the atmosphere where there is little to no drag on the capsule,” Chris Madsen, Orion guidance, navigation and control subsystem manager, said in a.
but should extraneous circumstances, such as a large storm, preclude that spot, the space agency can target locations far away. The planned recovery of the capsule is thus set
