1 00:00:07,430 --> 00:00:05,269 once it's time to come back to earth 2 00:00:10,709 --> 00:00:07,440 orion's service module engines are fired 3 00:00:12,870 --> 00:00:10,719 to leave distant retrograde orbit or dro 4 00:00:14,870 --> 00:00:12,880 the burn sends orion on a five-day path 5 00:00:17,109 --> 00:00:14,880 to come back toward the moon 6 00:00:20,390 --> 00:00:17,119 orion comes very close to the moon again 7 00:00:22,630 --> 00:00:20,400 passing about 60 miles above its surface 8 00:00:24,950 --> 00:00:22,640 then the engines are fired for a second 9 00:00:27,189 --> 00:00:24,960 time and the burn works with the pull of 10 00:00:29,830 --> 00:00:27,199 the moon's gravity to shoot orion back 11 00:00:32,069 --> 00:00:29,840 on a path toward home before entering 12 00:00:33,590 --> 00:00:32,079 earth's atmosphere orion's service 13 00:00:36,310 --> 00:00:33,600 module will separate from the crew 14 00:00:39,110 --> 00:00:36,320 module the crew module will be traveling 15 00:00:41,670 --> 00:00:39,120 at a speed of about 25 000 miles per 16 00:00:44,069 --> 00:00:41,680 hour when it hits the atmosphere orion 17 00:00:46,310 --> 00:00:44,079 will reach temperatures of nearly 5 000 18 00:00:48,630 --> 00:00:46,320 degrees fahrenheit as it slows down due 19 00:00:50,069 --> 00:00:48,640 to air friction that's almost half as 20 00:00:52,549 --> 00:00:50,079 hot as the sun 21 00:00:54,630 --> 00:00:52,559 but don't worry orion has a heat shield 22 00:00:56,389 --> 00:00:54,640 to protect it and parachutes will make
