Why Isn't Artemis 2 Rotating?
Hi guys, watching the live transmission, every now and then I notice that for the most part there is no thermal roll going on. I do remember soon after launch it was put into a roll, but at the moment it doesn't seem to be. Is it because the part facing the sun is the ~~flag~~ flat side (base of the cylinder) rather than the curved sides? Even so, there are some portions on the flat side that are obstructed by the shadow of the connecting rods of the solar panels; wouldn't these tiny areas in shadow get too cold and therefore, the flat side would have these small areas of huge temperature differentials? I say small areas but relative to a person they're quite large. Looking at it again, it's not just the connectors casting a shadow but an extruded part of the centre of the vehicle that is also casting a slight shadow on the other side.
