Watching coverage of Artemis II's return. Communications blackout due to heat has begun. I didn't expect to feel anxious about this, but here we are.

Vi alguém (curioso, mas muito leigo) falando que as imagens do lançamento da Apolo 11 foram muito mais nítidas que as da #Artemis2 ontem.

Uma das explicações é simples: A Apolo usava só combustível líquido (assim como a Soyuz russa) e a Artemis usou dois SRB - Solid Rocket Booster (assim como os Ônibus Espaciais) foguetes de combustível sólido que geram MUITA fumaça.

Artemis II will test and demonstrate optical communications to and from Earth using the Orion Artemis II Optical Communications System (O2O). The test device will send data to Earth with a downlink rate of up to 260 megabits per second.

The journey to the lunar vicinity is expected to last three days, and astronauts will spend one day in lunar observation of the far side of the Moon, with some parts seen up close by humans for the first time.
