[@joefunk1611]

Seemed like an awful lot of RCS work on initial entry profile. Maybe that’s expected but to me it looked like constant overcorrecting at some points

[@jrc1606]

@@joefunk1611 Not an awful lot. It's indeed expected. Orion here is performing a "skip reentry" which is the very first time a human rated capsule has done this. In the past engineers couldn't really figure out a way to confidently pull it off, but technology has improved and this can be done now automatically without a crew as Orion here demonstrated. Imagine a stone being skipped on a puddle of water, well something similar is happening here. The exact burns have to be very precise and the RCS must be able to quickly adjust the orientation of the heatshield. For Apollo, the capsule would land several miles/km from their expected landing zones, which made recovery operations very difficult and they risked landing in an unsafe zone. The skip maneuver gives Orion much more control on where to land. This skip maneuver also eases reentry g-forces which should make the descent more comfortable for the astronauts.

[@joefunk1611]

[@crucial0072]

​@@JohnHansknechtArtemis' re-entry was done exactly like it needed to be, just like during Apollo. The Apollo CM did not use a ballistic entry approach because it would have burned up in re-entry. NASA opted for a non-ballistic re-entry approach by skipping off the Earth's atmosphere once to dissipate the CM's re-entry velocity and lower the heating loads to the shielding. Artemis is still using the same re-entry technique and they have to. The Space Shuttle re-entered the atmosphere from LEO at Mach 25. Artemis' re-entry speed was Mach 32. This maneuver was very necessary.

[@Azariy0]

I hate the idea of flat earthers being trolls. I don't like it because I've been having arguments with these people, and have been quite invested in them. Because it's a personal experience, I often get offended at the suggestion it wasn't genuine. These accusations are not at all unlike when flat earthers themselves deny obvious evidence. They just say it isn't real, and that's it - you're the one who has to prove them wrong. They just say "they've been paid by the government" and that's it. This idea also goes against statistics. It depends on the country, but everywhere, at least a few percent of people who participate in surveys say they believe the Earth is flat. To deny this is to commit the same sin they do. No - people participating in those surveys are not trolls. Denying science is exactly what they do, no need to copy them. People are stupid. I cannot overstress how braindead and retarded humans are as critical thinkers. (Obviously me too - especially me.) When looking at major beliefs like religion, conspiracy theories, moral principles and such, it is shocking how stable they are. I'm going to mention some things about these beliefs now. 1. On average, such beliefs can only change in the course of many weeks and months. No matter the logic you use. 2. Very often, these beliefs define the person who believes in them. This means that when you're trying to disprove them, you're attacking a person's identity. 3. The better your arguments are against these beliefs, the less they are effective. *A person doesn't change beliefs through logic, but through feelings.* Better arguments just hurt feelings more, prompting defensive mechanisms. 4. The brain's defensive mechanisms are extremely strong. They can lose attention in a heartbeat, forget information extremely rapidly, make excuses that are highly effective, or flatout ignore facts. *Changing a person's beliefs through logic is like quitting an addiction.* NOT AN UNDERSTATEMENT. Logic is extremely ineffective, that's why misinformation is so widespread - it doesn't use it. Overall, I hope to convey my dissatisfaction with the idea that flat earthers are trolls. It is a dumb idea, which goes against statistics. Also, I wanted to convey why flat earthers are even possible, since many people don't believe it's possible to be that stupid, while they, themselves, are as stupid. (Not an argument drawing on my previously mentioned comparison but a general statement.)

@@nickhowatson4745 Ah, unfortunately my long tirade about my opinion of non-legitimate conspirologists has been deleted by KZbin. I'll try to be as concise as possible, which unfortunately reduces my ability to convince you, so cut me some slack. 1. Statistics suggest that at least 1-5% of people believe the Earth is flat around the world. This is the same as the amount of gay people, by the way. Surely all those people didn't lie to researchers. Furthermore, they just couldn't. There are correlations between flat earth and level of education, iQ score, country, city, distrust in science among public, belief in other conspiracy theories, (most flat earthers are not JUST flat earthers) type of family, religion, and probably other things. This information would not align in this clockwork-like coincidence spanning the entire globe. So, no, the statistics cannot really be wrong about the amount of people believing in flat earth. 2. To say that 1-5% of people are lying about their belief in flat earth and go out of their way to dedicate themselves to "trolling" people into believing they really do believe such things, is honestly very implausible. Not to offend you, but that is a conspiracy theory in of itself. There is no innate reason for people to do this foolishness, so they'd have to coordinate between themselves, which creates many and many logistical problems.

[@jimgraham6722]

@@AR-mu4zq The plasma stream from the first atmospheric entry was evident around 4.10, the Orion then pitched up and exited the atmosphere around 7.20. The plasma stream for the second atmospheric entry commenced about six minutes later at around 13.40. There are rolls and yaws around 15.50, presumably to line up for touch down. The plasma stream stops around 17.00, indicating speed has likely dropped below M6. The sun moves into view about 18.10. When the spacecraft has slowed sufficiently, the parachutes deploy. First two pilot chutes at 19.45, followed by three mains at 21.00. Splashdown was at 25.0. The pulsing noise and occasional bursts of plasma are the reaction control system. In the last minute or so the RCS was firing almost continuously, probably to fully drain the fuel tanks of noxious propellant. Overall it was a masterful display of spacecraft control during a high speed re-entry.

Very cool. I also have never seen footage like this in the 60 years that I have been a space fanatic. The sounds are as impressive as the visuals. The valve noise from the RCS Thrusters was wild, I had never considered what it would sound like in a capsule during entry, and the sound of the tortured air screaming around the vessel, along with the visible changes in the plasma when the RCS fired during the heat mitigation maneuvers was mesmerizing. Thanks for posting this.

[@phoenixshade3]

Just a small correction. Those are not "heat mitigation maneuvers," but rather LIFT MANAGEMENT maneuvers. The capsule's center of gravity is offset from its centerline, resulting in an oblique reentry. The heat shield isn't pointed straight into the direction of travel. It is at a somewhat oblique angle, and more atmosphere is displaced in one direction than the other, creating a lifting force in the opposite direction. By rolling the capsule, the direction of lift can be changed, which both allows precise splashdown targeting and reduced g-loads during reentry. Generally, the capsule only experiences a maximum of 4 g's during reentry. By comparison, the Mercury capsules, which did not have lifting bodies and therefore reentered on a purely ballistic trajectory experienced over 10 g's.

[@mcnultyssobercompanion6372]

I've seen one other re-entry video besides this on KZbin. I believe it was a rocket booster (?) falling back to Earth. What really struck me was how the audio kicks in once the booster is low enough in the atmosphere. Total space silence....and then suddenly turbulence. And then, same as this video, several minutes later it hits the water. Check it out if you can find it, it's amazing footage.

[@_Mutineer]

Hi @@phoenixshade3. I did not actually mention anything to do with "heat mitigation maneuvers", but you have half a point. I actually called them RCS Thrusters, where RCS stands for "Reaction Control System". These are used for attitude adjustment for two reasons, first, as you mentioned, "Lift Management", which can adjust trajectory, but they also actually perform heat mitigation at the same time. Rotating the lifting body surfaces of the capsule can change centre of gravity and therefore trajectory, but it also rotates the heat shield to more evenly distribute heat loading on the structure of the lifting body. Cheers.

[@braindare1351]

​@@phoenixshade3 I believe Gemini capsules were the first to try lift capabilities by spinning the capsules at oblique angles, correct? And if I'm not mistaken it's seemed as though Orion was engaging roll reversals similar to shuttle to disapate energy. What say you?
