NASA's Orion spacecraft reaches record-breaking distance in space exploration mission

You can’t deny the points made in this video:

I don’t have to “deny” the so-called points in the video. They are all easily debunked with 5 minutes of research.

Suppose to have around the clock access to cameras, not one of the 25 cameras work. Piece of shit.

I watched your videos.

You posted them several times already.

Still not seeing any proof.

Hi, what is the reason it is taking a much longer path around the moon than the old apollo missions?

Anyway, to get to the meat of your question, yes the trajectory here is very different. SLS is a very different animal than the Saturn V, though both are super heavy lift. Saturn V had three stages, SLS has two solid boosters, a large core stage and at the moment a small "interim" upper stage. The Orion's service module does not have as much fuel and delta-V as the Apollo CSM had. To give you an idea, the Apollo CSM carried about 18,410 kg of propellant for the main SPS engine and the Apollo command module was a smaller capsule than Orion. Orion's European Service Module only has a propellant mass of about 8,600 kg and carries a heavier capsule. Ironically, both the CSM and European Service Module rely on versions of the AJ-10 engine, though Orion's is literally an old Space Shuttle OMS engine that has been repurposed for one more flight. Orion with its current service module cannot perform the mission profiles that Apollo's CSM could. It can't carry a lander into low lunar orbit and then get itself out of low lunar orbit for a return to earth.

Likewise, the ICPS is very under-powered compared to the mighty Saturn V upper stage, the S-IVB. The ICPS is really just a modified Delta upper stage, and it only carries about 28,576 kg of propellant mass vs 109,000 kg for the S-IVB. The upgraded Exploration Upper Stage or EUS will flip that statistic later on, but for now the ICPS is what Orion had to work with. Given these limitations and the nature of the SLS rocket's staging, the core stage put Orion and the ICPS into a slightly elliptical parking orbit that essentially gave the ICPS a "head-start" before the TLI burn (on the Saturn V, the S-IVB finished the orbit insertion itself and stayed in a low parking orbit until TLI). Even so, the ICPS and Orion cannot fly the kind of profile we saw with Apollo, so they opted for an easier but slower trajectory to a distant retrograde orbit of the moon, swinging wide past the moon each time and never braking fully into a low lunar orbit. This is similar to how later missions will utilize a halo orbit that stays farther from the moon than Apollo and a lunar lander that will meet Orion there and depart to the surface from a wider starting orbit. This trajectory does not require as much delta-V from Orion to do the mission and still get back to earth.

"We" is everyone else lol

Do you have one from a legit news source?

Not some rando on YouTube

NASA's Orion spacecraft has reached more than 432,000km from Earth — the farthest distance scheduled on its Artemis I mission and the farthest any spacecraft built for humans has travelled.

Nope, they cannot be debunked…keep shilling…

Be a damn shame if a certain someone happened to be tracking it last night with a pair of telescopes to directly measure its distance using parallax.

Hahahahahahaha!!!!


NASA is nothing more than one big money grabbing SCAM!!!!



Hahahaha!

you can't measure distance using parallax if the background is moving and you don't know the rate or the distance features in the background are moving at.

The background is light years away, it does not display detectable parallax with a baseline of just two spots on the earth. It only displays parallax with a much longer baseline. You are dismissed.

you don't know how far the background is or how fast its moving.

Is NASA testing a new type of radiation shield, a plasma based radiation shield and hull design?
