"NASA waved off the opportunity to perform a 'corrective' burn on Friday due to the success of the engine firing. Howard Hu stated that a helium system issue is no longer a concern, as a backup system is working properly."
"The crew experienced some 'false alarms' from environmental sensors, which are not threats but reflect conservative limits. Hu noted that adjustments will be made for the Artemis III mission based on these learnings."
"Cabin temperatures were described as chilly, dropping about 10°F after shell heaters were turned off. Flight controllers adjusted the cabin atmosphere to ensure crew comfort during the mission."
"Humidity levels were slightly below optimal for carbon dioxide scrubbers, which function better with higher humidity. The crew successfully maintained a comfortable level between 'desert dry' and 'Houston humid.'"
NASA decided against a corrective burn after a successful engine firing. The Orion program manager reported a helium system issue that is no longer critical, as a backup is functioning. Minor false alarms from environmental sensors pose no threat to the crew. Cabin temperatures were initially chilly, but adjustments were made for comfort. Humidity levels were slightly low for carbon dioxide scrubbers, but the crew managed to maintain a comfortable atmosphere while flying farther from Earth than anyone has in decades.
