This view of re-entry was certainly an exciting one (cutting out most of the glitched parts to see it better) #Artemis

Getting some real nice cinematic views of the start of crew recovery here too #Artemis #spaceflight

The GIF explains this very unintuitive ground tracking map: https://mastodon.social/@Alex_ADEdge/116378678414394342

The Artemis re-entry map explained!
To understand this fully, I needed a visual. So here is the @nasa Orion OEM dataset playing in one of my realtime space scenes. The result - a fun way to visualize how this ground tracked map works! #Artemis #ArtemisII #Space #threeJS

Very unintuitive, very crazy space stuff. Great to be able to understand it because I don't think this is something most people would get right away.

2) Then the 2nd part to the map - where Orion has gotten close enough on approach that it falls deeper into Earths gravity well and speeds up very quickly. It speeds up to the point its travelling faster than Earth's spin, which is why we see its trajectory moving North-East ..
