million miles Orion knows there's no 6 00:01:31,370 --> 00:01:29,400 place like home when it's time to return 7 00:01:34,130 --> 00:01:31,380 to Earth there are some key steps that 8 00:01:36,350 --> 00:01:34,140 must happen Orion will attempt the first 9 00:01:37,670 --> 00:01:36,360 skip entry ever for human rated 10 00:01:39,649 --> 00:01:37,680 spacecraft 11 00:01:41,510 --> 00:01:39,659 the maneuver is like a thrown Stone 12 00:01:42,770 --> 00:01:41,520 skipping the surface of a pond before 13 00:01:45,109 --> 00:01:42,780 sinking 14 00:01:47,510 --> 00:01:45,119 capsule first uses the upper part of 15 00:01:49,670 --> 00:01:47,520 Earth's atmosphere to reduce speed and 16 00:01:52,670 --> 00:01:49,680 generate lift so it skips back out into 17 00:01:55,190 --> 00:01:52,680 space after the skip Orion will make a 18 00:01:58,249 --> 00:01:55,200 final re-entry experiencing temperatures 19 00:02:00,410 --> 00:01:58,259 around 5000 degrees Fahrenheit and 20 00:02:02,569 --> 00:02:00,420 decreasing speed significantly a system 21 00:02:04,730 --> 00:02:02,579 of 11 parachutes will slow the capsule 22 00:02:07,550 --> 00:02:04,740 down even more before it splashes down 23 00:02:09,589 --> 00:02:07,560 off the coast of California there teams 24 00:02:11,449 --> 00:02:09,599 from the U.S Navy and NASA will inspect 25 00:02:13,369 --> 00:02:11,459 the capsule for hazards before it is 26 00:02:15,110 --> 00:02:13,379 lifted onto the recovery ship for the 27 00:02:17,510 --> 00:02:15,120 journey back to land 28 00:02:19,610 --> 00:02:17,520 what other things about Artemis 1 are 29 00:02:24,170 --> 00:02:19,620 you curious about let us know using the 30 00:02:29,510 --> 00:02:26,449 a series of 11 parachutes will be 31 00:02:31,910 --> 00:02:29,520 deployed in sequential fashion a very 32 00:02:35,449 --> 00:02:31,920 dramatic return to Earth lying ahead for 33 00:02:38,930 --> 00:02:35,459 the Orion spacecraft our design is 34 00:02:41,750 --> 00:02:38,940 almost exactly the Apollo design the the 35 00:02:44,750 --> 00:02:41,760 shape of the mains the shape of the 36 00:02:48,290 --> 00:02:44,760 drugs the only major difference is we 37 00:02:52,309 --> 00:02:48,300 are bigger Apollo weighed roughly 13 000 38 00:02:54,949 --> 00:02:52,319 13 500 pounds and we weigh 22 and change 39 00:02:56,869 --> 00:02:54,959 a thousand pounds and so our parachutes 40 00:02:58,490 --> 00:02:56,879 are larger because we have more energy 41 00:03:01,070 --> 00:02:58,500 to take out of the system and our 42 00:03:03,350 --> 00:03:01,080 parachutes are stronger 43 00:03:05,690 --> 00:03:03,360 so at a fundamental level all around 44 00:03:08,330 --> 00:03:05,700 parachutes are alike the Orion system 45 00:03:10,309 --> 00:03:08,340 has drug parachutes that has initially 46 00:03:11,930 --> 00:03:10,319 decelerate the system and because 47 00:03:14,690 --> 00:03:11,940 they're deployed at a much higher 48 00:03:16,610 --> 00:03:14,700 velocity they're made of ribbons the 49 00:03:18,770 --> 00:03:16,620 ribbons can take the fluttering 50 00:03:21,710 --> 00:03:18,780 Associated of high velocity deployments 51 00:03:23,390 --> 00:03:21,720 much better than a solid canopy can and 52 00:03:26,690 --> 00:03:23,400 once the system slows down it deploys 53 00:03:28,309 --> 00:03:26,700 domains domains are much closer to a 54 00:03:30,589 --> 00:03:28,319 Personnel shoot they're called ring 55 00:03:32,869 --> 00:03:30,599 sales the major difference would be that 56 00:03:36,890 --> 00:03:32,879 a Personnel shoot could be 28 to 30 feet 57 00:03:39,830 --> 00:03:36,900 in diameter and a sea pass main is 116 58 00:03:41,869 --> 00:03:39,840 feet in diameter City Orion parachutes 59 00:03:44,809 --> 00:03:41,879 are what we refer to as hybrid 60 00:03:47,030 --> 00:03:44,819 parachutes the drag surfaces are nylon 61 00:03:49,070 --> 00:03:47,040 but then the structural grid how we take 62 00:03:50,930 --> 00:03:49,080 the drag on that nylon surface and 63 00:03:54,170 --> 00:03:50,940 transmit it down to the vehicle is made 64 00:03:57,050 --> 00:03:54,180 of Kevlar and Kevlar is quite a bit 65 00:03:59,149 --> 00:03:57,060 stronger and stiffer and it just 66 00:04:01,670 --> 00:03:59,159 completely different material than the 67 00:04:04,729 --> 00:04:01,680 drag surfaces are so the C pass system 68 00:04:06,949 --> 00:04:04,739 is designed to safely recover the crew 69 00:04:10,729 --> 00:04:06,959 with just two Mains deployed 70 00:04:12,470 --> 00:04:10,739 the problem with deploying the backup 71 00:04:14,149 --> 00:04:12,480 shoot after you deploy the first two 72 00:04:16,129 --> 00:04:14,159 shoots is you have to negotiate the 73 00:04:18,229 --> 00:04:16,139 shoot that's already out there so what 74 00:04:20,689 --> 00:04:18,239 we chose to do and what Apollo chose to 75 00:04:23,450 --> 00:04:20,699 do was to deploy to backup shoot with 76 00:04:26,270 --> 00:04:23,460 the main system itself and as a result 77 00:04:28,610 --> 00:04:26,280 we get a much softer Landing when all 78 00:04:31,550 --> 00:04:28,620 the parachutes work properly but both 79 00:04:35,270 --> 00:04:31,560 systems were designed to land with just 80 00:04:39,770 --> 00:04:37,370 when we did the pad abort test at White 81 00:04:41,930 --> 00:04:39,780 Sands I was quite scared but I wasn't 82 00:04:44,629 --> 00:04:41,940 scared for our system I was scared for 83 00:04:46,850 --> 00:04:44,639 the repositioning after the Rockets took 84 00:04:49,370 --> 00:04:46,860 off the capsule and repositioned it it 85 00:04:52,129 --> 00:04:49,380 was perfect that thing reoriented like 86 00:04:54,409 --> 00:04:52,139 it was on Rails and I I swear to you 87 00:04:56,150 --> 00:04:54,419 this this huge relief came over me when 88 00:04:58,490 --> 00:04:56,160 the cover came off because I thought wow 89 00:05:02,450 --> 00:04:58,500 we're not done but we're done I know my 90 00:05:02,460 --> 00:05:12,670 oh 91
