An Inspector General's report on the upcoming Artemis II mission has called out issues with the Orion's heat shield and NASA isn't happy.
NASA’s acting inspector general, Georga A. Scott has released new Artemis II report meant to look at just how ready NASA is for the upcoming space mission set to launch next year. According to the new report, the Orion heat shield issues that NASA talked about last year are a huge cause for concern. This isn’t really surprising, especially considering NASA has already talked about its struggles to find the root cause of the heat shield issues that Orion faced during Artemis I.
” NASA outlines its plans for landing Artemis III on the Moon a few years from now. It’s very clear that NASA officials are starting to feel the pressure, especially when it comes to its iconic missions to return humanity to the surface of the Moon. And with all the problems surrounding NASA’s Mars Sample Return, it isn’t surprising to see NASA lashing out in a way at the inspector general’s report.
