"Upon reentry' and "20 minute before reentry" are pretty far apart, suggesting that one source is more right than the other. Also, we don't know how much delta-v was in the separation burn. | |
Aug 22 at 18:48 | comment | added | Organic Marble | @phil1008 The Orion capsule does a sep burn after releasing the SM. It appears the two modules reenter pretty far apart. esa.int/Science_Exploration/Human_and_Robotic_Exploration/Orion/… | |
Aug 22 at 17:16 | comment | added | phil1008 | The reference is great. The trail of debris is fast moving (across the field of view) and this question is about the two slower moving meteors. The article shows cavities and mentions "large chunks" which is one a possibility I suppose. It also says "Upon reentry to the Earth’s atmosphere, the bolts receive a separation command releasing the Crew Module from the Service Module. The Service Module burns up in Earth’s atmosphere, while the Crew Module continues its descent and landing under the protection of the heat shield." | |
