Additional engineering analysis of the Orion spacecraft's heat shield from NASA's Artemis II mission confirmed initial data showing it performed as expected. Artemis II sent a crew of four astronauts around the Moon and returned them safely to Earth, launching from Kennedy Space Center's Launch Complex 39B.
NASA’s Artemis II mission sent four astronauts around the Moon and brought them safely back to Earth, laying a foundation for crewed flights to the Moon’s surface. Additional engineering data analysis of the Orion spacecraft’s heat shield confirmed initial data showing the heat shield performed as expected. In particular, NASA measured whether the thermal protection […]
