We would like to thank you for being with us. This was our coverage of the return of Orion and the Artemis 1 mission. Will see you to the next space mission. #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion #earth NASA engineers have now to collect all results from this Mission to prepare for Artemis 2 in around 2 years and then the first time with humans on board the Orion capsular. #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion #earth When the diagnosis of the heatshield will be successfully completed then it will get a go to be used in Artemis 2 to protect humans at re-entry. #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion #earth 1 hour and 30 minutes since the splashdown of the #orion capsular. The teams on site and at mission control operate post splashdown procedures now. We go for the complete 2 hours Armonia burn off time. #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #earth Recovery information: We have 4 feet high waves in the Pacific Ocean on a period of 13 seconds. This information will help to bring the Orion capsular as best as possible to the ship. #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion #earth The parachutes are under water now. They will not be recovered this time. #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion #earth Before #Christmas the Orion capsular will return to the NSA Headquarters and directly after New Year engineers will open the heatshield and made a full diagnosis of the #heatshield to learn more for the next #Orion capsular. The Vehicle looks great. #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion #earth Live views from Orion capsular. #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion #earth Around 40 minutes after splashdown we still waiting for the boats to enter the Orion capsular. Currently the underwater divers make the video footage from the capsular. #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion #earth The rocket, the European space module and the Orion capsular has so well worked together so that the teams could add a lot of more tests as expected. A perfect mission for NASA and ESA. #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion #earth Armonia is colling the capsular, This Armonia must boil off now than the Navy boats can come to recover Orion capsular. #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion #earth Navy boats are now marking debris with smoke bombs to make them visible for the recovery team. The helicopters make now 8k ultra-HD video footage from the Orion capsular. #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion #earth It was a textbook landing. recovery boats are already on the way to the splashdown site. This will take some time now. #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion #earth all not necessary system are slowed down now. All barks have inflated. #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion #earth Orion is in perfect swimming position in the Pacific Ocean. This was a perfect splashdown of Orion. Recovery team is already on the way to Orion. Everything like expected. #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion #earth And we have splashdown of Orion in the Pacific Ocean. #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion #earth All three parachutes are out. perfect decent. #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion #earth the first parachutes are out. #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion #earth less than 50,000 feet till splashdown. #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion #earth Orion now operates some rollback maneuvers. #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion #earth Orion camera pictures #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion #earth We have now visual acquisition of Orion. Also, on the USS Portland at the landing site. #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion #earth Second blackout period has begun. #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion #earth Second blackout period begin in around 2 minutes #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion #earth And we have Data from Orion. Orion is fine and on the right way. and we have live picture from the Orion capsular. #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion #earth We currently in the first blackout period that last another 3 minutes. #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion #earth Entering into Earth's atmosphere has begun. #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion #earth This is the view from the Orion capsular. It will show us later the parachutes deployment. #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion #earth 6 minutes to go till entry. #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion #earth Around 15 minutes until entry. #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion #earth The separation was successful. Orion flies now alone and the European service module has done its job. A major success for the European space agency and for Europe generally. #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion #earth Without the contribution of the ESA. This mission would not be possible. #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion #earth We are 2 minutes away from separation of the European service module #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion #earth After re-entry, the atmosphere will reduce the speed of #orion to around 300 miles per hour and after all 11 parachutes procedures have been finished the capsular will have a speed of around 25 miles per hour #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM Orion will come in with a speed of 25,000 miles per hour. The headshield was new constructed for this. #orion has also 11 parachutes on board. Among 3 for reducing speed on landing, only 2 are necessary. #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM Communication with Orion has now switched from the Deep Space Network to the Near Space Network. Several minutes before the separation of the European service module. #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion #earth The European service Modul will remain in earth orbit for a specific time. #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion #earth Around 55 minutes till splashdown and around 15 minutes away until the separation of the European service module from the orion capsular. #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion #earth The next essential test will be the heatshield and if it can survive the re-entry. This is important for the manned mission of Artemis 2. Entry heat will be 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit. #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion #earth Also, under water pictures will be made in high quality before the capsular will be recovered. All this is for engineering propose to get a real view how the capsular looks like when it comes directly from space. #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #ESM #orion #earth Live from the landing site. The two helicopters will be used for the recovery. The third helicopter is for backup. Both helicopters have 8k high quality cameras on board to record the recovery for engineering propose. #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #orion #earth Live picture from orion #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion #earth NASA live coverage begins. Splashdown is expected for in around 2 hours . #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion #earth Teams will recover Orion and attempt to recover hardware jettisoned during landing, including the forward bay cover and three main parachutes. #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion #earth Melissa Jones is the NASA landing and recovery director on site. #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion #earth Astronauts from Artemis 2 will experience 4G powers when they return to earth. #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion #earth Orion was supposed to land in the Pacific Ocean close to San Diego. Due of weather the landing site as moved to Coast of Baja, California. #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion #earth The capsular will stay for around 2 hours in the water to measure the temperatures and influences inside the capsular. #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion #earth Live coverage of NASA and ESA will begin around 16:30 CET. We will be following all events and give you updates right here in this thread #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion #earth Yesterday the auxiliary engines fired for 8 seconds to operate the fifth trajectory correction to bring Orion #spacecraft to its way home. The sixth and final trajectory burn has taken place 5 hours before #orion enters #Earth's atmosphere. #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon The Orion spacecraft is about to land on Earth again. It's the final of the 25 days long Artemis 1 mission. This thread will cover the return of Orion. #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion #earth
