Just make it 2 stage, the ascent stage holds the extra supplies, and the descent just holds enough to get back to Orion. That's 3 billion saved for NASA, while the military continues to spend almost $800 billion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion is not in LLO. Any return vehicle for an abort situation needs to be able to phase with the capsule, which in the NRHO case could take days.

Maybe it'll be simplified version of National Team's lander, a transfer module that can dock to both of the modules, so when the time comes, the transfer can circularize at the periapsis, let the astronauts land, then when the ascent comes back, they can stay in the transfer module for the return to Orion.

Unless it's an extremely subtle announcement, I doubt that means it Considering we got tweets showing off the Snoopy zero-G indicator and the four Lego minifigures going around the Moon (there might even be a Playmobile astronaut and robot but I might be mixing that up with Thomas Pesquet’s recent ISS visit) it is unlikely an announcement would be that cryptic.

tater Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 SLS, with 39A just right, and the Starship Super Heavy OLT going up to the right of that. Basically all Artemis in one shot in terms of launch towers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically all Artemis in one shot in terms of launch towers. My reactions to this- 1. It will be neat to see SLS and Starship up at the same time, which could happen in 2024. 2. Someone should make a meme using that template of Jason Momoa and Henry Cavill with the Starship program sneaking up on SLS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCgothic Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I've heard this might be fairly consistent with a solar panels not deployed issue, so comms were on battery until it died. If so the prospects for recovery are not good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minmus Taster Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Well it seems Artemis is off to a wonderful start! I hope rocket lab doesn't get blamed for this somehow, the launch was amazing and they probably don't have anything to do with this disaster. 2 hours ago, RCgothic said: I've heard this might be fairly consistent with a solar panels not deployed issue, so comms were on battery until it died.

If anything, RL might be the solution - it seems Lunar Photon could have enough fuel left to enter NRHO on its own, which could make it replace Capstone if it's not recovered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
