NASA’s Orion Spacecraft Is Officially Headed Back Toward Earth
Показать описание
It has already been over two weeks since the Space Launch System lifted off with Orion on top. In the time since then, Orion has traveled over a quarter million miles away from Earth and set records previously held by the Apollo missions. Now in early December, the spacecraft is officially on its way back toward Earth after completing multiple burns.
Specifically, yesterday Orion left its distant lunar orbit and is now on its return journey home. The spacecraft successfully completed the distant retrograde departure burn at 3:53 p.m. CST, firing its main engine for 1 minute 45 seconds to set the spacecraft on course for a close lunar flyby before its return home. This is one of two necessary maneuvers for the entire return journey.
While so far this mission has been a major success, arguably one of the most challenging aspects is right around the corner. In this case, Orion will attempt to enter the atmosphere in just over a week faster and hotter than ever before. Here I will go more in-depth into the spacecraft’s recent return maneuver, what to expect in the next few days, the upcoming splashdown, and more.
