Wow !!! big changes coming to Artemis 3 with the destruction of the New Glenn pad and rocket estimates about a year before another one flys. so lot of things are looking to change. I wonder if Isaacman is rethinking the SLS plan, might need to use one to light the MK 2 lander into orbit so we...
this LZ I found is pretty hummocky and you land on a slope. It would work and somewhat close to the South pole. I did drive the SEV south and the terrain starts to deform
I don't think we know right now which would be right as a pilot if you rotated it 90* would be a little better just be sure to move your docking target to align with the Comander's window
I think they got thrown into this Artemis 3 mission at the last minute and were not at this point of docking
I know I am jumping ahead a bit but the second stage burns all its fuel so no way to do the TLI burn so this will need an upper stage for this maybe a Centaur C prime for this MK 1 and a Centaur prime for the MK 2.
Does the MK 1 carry enough fuel to do both the LOI and landing burn
I might have found a spot that would work it is really hilly but seems to have spots where there is enough sunlight for us to use and close to Shackleton, maybe its not to distorted
Jerred Isaacman sort of let the cat out of the bag when he referred to the connecting ridge as the landing site for Artemis 4, I am wondering if any one here has tried to find it in Orbiter and knowing that the closer to the South Pole the surface mesh seems to be a mess.
we might need to work...
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
