The range radar is important enough to double up on stuff as cheap as off the shelf Ethernet. It delayed the launch, nuff said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m surprised they don’t do outsourcing for animations, I’m sure there a number of people out there who would love to give us a video of the real Artemis architecture (with Starship HLS) for little to no cost, and it would be high quality too.

But they aren't, and single-point failures are much more common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be redundant throughout along with redundant cable runs and STP enabled for automatic rererouting on failure I agree. And it probably does have multiple redundancies. However, if you know of a redundant system failure in advance, it often still makes sense to restore redundancy before continuing, instead of just relying on the backup device(s). If it needed redundancy (and it seems prudent in this case), then all those redundant paths need to be functional to proceed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tater Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 My guess is trajectory people working hard since ICPS means they have to change all kinds of things with every t0 change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm confident that there's a ginormous well-programmed system that specifically plans out every maneuver and burn and correction based on any possible t0.

sevenperforce Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Unrelated: the TV stream is horrifyingly annoying. Almost because I know why it has to be so droll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunlitZelkova Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 The lady doing the narration on the NASA stream just skipped the word “first”, describing Artemis I as a mission that will return us to the Moon in 50 years. Could have been my speaker cutting out, but quite an ironic mistake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthgently Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 (edited) At least, if nothing else, we all now know a proven method for removing RTV: hurricane force winds. Now we need a way to remove 3M 5200 Edited November 16, 2022 by darthgently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they are constantly updating it based on new T=0. It;s part of the ICPS constraints and elliptical parking orbit since they have to phase from launch.

I'm sure there were 7,200 different subroutines all calculated and classified in advance for each possible second of launch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
