Talk:Orion abort modes

Page Out of Date
If the latest ORION cap can only land at sea then the entire article needs rewriting, all the aborts will have to end up in the sea. So Ireland becomes the west Sea, United Kingdom becomes the North sea

The Orion can land both at sea and on land (using a combination of parachute and airbags, as well as retro-rockets, if I'm not mistaken), so that part of the article is OK. However, as mentioned in the article, the Ares I has been cancelled as a launch platform for the Orion.

august 2007 NASA document
no, this article is not completely out of date

in a picture of a recent NASA .pdf document there is also a third option: a Soyuz-like retro-rockets land landings

we can't know if this option will be adopted until the definitive Orion design will be released

this is the August 2007 official NASA document with the image of the Orion land landing using retro-rockets:

http://www.nasa.gov/pdf/185978main_Cx_PEIS_draft.pdf

the Orion landing image 2-21 is at page 2-54 of the NASA document (or page 122 of the .pdf reader page counter)

but the same NASA document has also a SURPRISE about the Ares-V !!!

just look at the image 2-15 (page 2-29 of the NASA document or page 97 of the .pdf reader page counter) and see atop the Ares-V drawing... :) :) :)

................

to the (anonymous) wiki user that has modified the text of the link I've added in the article...

the link to this Talk page must be RESTORED for THREE very important reasons:

1. the NASA .pdf document has 880 PAGES with MANY images and tables and scroll it to search the image of the Orion landing may need 10, 15 or more minutes, while, in this talk page I give the info to find the images in SECONDS ...why did you want the wiki users lose so much time?

2. just A FEW pages (of the 880 total) in this NASA .pdf document talk about the Orion landing, so, without read THIS talk page, the article's readers NEVER CAN'T know WHY the document is linked and WHAT they should search and read in this 880 pages texts!

3. despite it's off-topic with the Orion landing article, the image of the Ares-V in this document was NEVER released before by NASA and could be VERY interesting for the peoples that read, write and talk about the ESAS plan and vehicles! ...without a link to this talk page, great part of the wiki users NEVER will know/see this NEW and very interesting Ares-V image!

PS - please post a message here (with your signature) when you modify a text or the article, so, we can discuss the point in our personal talk pages rather than use this page, thank you
