NASA has published a visualization to show what we can expect to see during the following hours.
Otherwise, the return of Artemis II on April 10 will be a dangerous issue because of problems with the heating of the space shuttle. It will drop at extraordinary speed.
Mission Artemis II is reaching the most critical phase, entering the Earth atmosphere again at 40,000km/h speeds with temperatures outside Orion reaching 2,700 degrees Celsius.
Manager NASA, Jared Isaacman, acknowledges that this is a cause for concern.
As for what keeps me up at night, my blood pressure will be elevated until they are in the water near the West Coast. There's no plan B over there. This is the thermal defense system. The heat shield must function”, Isaacman said.
Orion's recovery into the atmosphere will be very different from spacecrafts returning from the International Space Station.
