NASA's Plan To Recover The Artemis II Crew

Показать описание
With NASA’s second mission to the Moon approaching fast, there still is a long checklist of activities that need to be completed. This not only includes work related to the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft but also work here on Earth. An immensely important mission aspect that people often overlook is the recovery operation once Orion and its crew of 4 splashes down.

Here the agency along with military personnel work to locate and determine the exact landing site of the spacecraft. Once located it’s important that they get to the craft within a short period of time and secure the crew members aboard. Just days ago NASA completed a full Orion recovery operation test out in the Pacific Ocean.

This comes in addition to the crew completing various recovery training and becoming familiar with the plan and vessels. Here I will go more in-depth into this complex process, how NASA gets to and secures the craft in a short period of time, what the recent training looked like, and more.

I really want to follow and support the Artemis mission but can't until until they get rid of the SLS. I really dislike being taken advantage of and having my tax dollars stolen by corrupt contractors.

Yeeey, we're going to the moon! This will be quite a feat, compared to the 60s, when we had such vastly superior technology... right?

Its clear were still in the stone age of human space exploration and there has been little or no progress from the 1960`s

If NASA has any issue or questions I guess they can ask SpaceX how they've been recovering their Dragon capsule from the sea for years.

I thought it said that NASA plans to recover the Artemis 2 crew; I was very confused bc I thought there's no way they'd just not bring back to earth lamo.

It reminds me of that one vine: "Road work ahead? Uh yeah, I sure hope it does..."

This is a case when I think it's good for the machines to replace humans. Manned space flight beyond LEO is far too expensive and cumbersome to sustain. The machines have done a great job for a fraction of the cost.
