Dated, many of the programs described delayed or cancelled.

Orion

  • p10 Orion heat shield is PICA, phenolic impregnated carbon ablator, a matrix of carbon fibers embedded in a phenolic resin. Outer surface burns off and carries off heat, charred remainder is heat resistant. Used for 13km/s re-entry of Stardust spacecraft in 2006. Segmented.

  • not true, will use Textron Avcoat like Apollo

  • p11 Orion uses parachutes, jettisons heat shield, may land with airbags after 8m/s descent.
    • hmm - a = v²/2d, wag d=1 meter, a = 32 m/s² or 2 gees.
    • Not true anymore. Wikipedia sez 2023 crew launch, maybe. Water landings only.
  • p14 Orion: small team at Lockheed Martin, what did Apollo do?
  • p15 CM+SM+Escape < 50,250 pounds approx 23 tonnes (now 25,848 kg, 56,985 lb)


  • p21 Shackleton Crater south pole, 80% sunlight over year
  • p22 regolith compacted digging difficult, abrades bearings
  • p23 Heat surface with microwaves, glass and metallic iron, 50W/cm³ to 1700C in 10 seconds
    • 1990s, Lawrence Taylor U. Tenn., 1 centimeter deep (thermal conductivity?) 5 MJ/m²
  • p24 Larry Clark Lockheed Martin - oxygen from regolith iron oxides, 1300 to 1500℉
  • p104 Phoenix lander, Mars north pole finds ice June 2008
  • p119 Deep Space Network, 5e-5 m/s velocity and 3 m range
  • p119 Cassini camera three microradians
  • p122 RTG Pu238 halflife 88y, April 2001 Pioneer 10 1e-21 watt (per what?)
  • p126 acceleration anomaly (since solved, heat reflections off antenna)
  • p135 exoplanets ... really old stuff, pre-Kepler
