ORBITER-FORUM will be temporarily closed at 2026-07-23 18:00 UTC while we complete some OF maintenance tasks. The amount of downtime is expected to take up to one hour, but probably less.
Hello just an update on these SLS rockets in production. NASA has not yet changed their plans to cancel Artemis after Artemis 3. Yes NASA said it had a new faster plan but no new contracts changes have been announced.
there is a contract for Orions through Artemis 8 so if this all get canned...
back in 2010 there was an auto pilot that worked super and did all the deorbit burns and S turns and would land the shuttle at KSC or VBG it was super to watch and track the shuttle back in the day AFCS I think was what it was called
I am told NASA is looking at this as a way to get to the Moon quickly. If NASA looks at its history either the Lunar Starship or MK 2 might not be ready before 2030
Hate to throw this into the mix but just saw this new video but NASA might need to look into this if it wants to make it to the Moon by 2027 or 2028
Looks like the MK 1 could carry 2 guys to the surface I think it would need an elevator but should be able to launch with Orion on the larger...
Looks super so far and the little window looks like it is just for docking if the crew has to do the docking
and putting the cargo boxes on the gold would be good and i don't think the RCS would be minable . Might be good when it is landed to see a little shoot on the white cargo boxes
One of the most interesting things with the Apollo landers for me was the MESA and the other cargo carried outside. I did see an advanced LM with more cargo boxes carried like you see here on this MK 1 . On Artemis 4 we need to show 2 boxes for instruments and a buggy to carry the tools ...
Keep in mind this lander would be able to carry and house 4 people so a table and a head plus 4 EVA suits . Maybe if you swing the wall with out the entry door about half way to the airlock door might give you enough room to fit all that stuff. We don't know what suits they will wear just yet my...
