  1. 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.

    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.

    Psyche slips to next year.

     

     

    It may never launch at all sadly, NASA is conducting an investigation into the probe and if it's worth the investment, in my opinion a very sudden and drastic action for a relatively minor issue in the greater scheme of things.

    Shenzhou-14 mission start now. There will be five launches, five time rendezvous and docking, two times transposition.

    First, Tianzhou-3 leave Tianhe Core Module and let Wentian Module docked with radial docking port.

    Wentian's solar panels fully deploys. Then the combination turns and adjusts its attitude.

    Use the indexing robotic arm (Chiense version ‘Lyappa Arm') to shift Wentian from radial port to lateral permanent docking port:

    Re-adjust the attitude of the assemblage, wait for the docking of the Mentian and repeat a similar process:

    Then Tianzhou-4 cargo ship leave CSS and Tianzhou-5 will docking with the station. Finally, Shenzhou-15 crew will go into space and dock with the station for crew rotation in orbit.

    Between this may be performed the task of transferring the solar panels of the core module. I haven't seen any official information as to when exactly this will be carried out.

    Huh, didn't know Wentian and Mengtian would get an extra pair of panels in between the large arrays.
