Chunks of material chipped away from Orion's heat shield during reentry after a 25-day mission, revealing more than 100 locations with pieces stripped away due to reentry temperatures of 5,000°F.
The investigation into the heat shield issue on the Artemis I mission, conducted on the unpiloted test flight around the Moon, is ongoing with tests in wind tunnels and arcjet facilities to determine the root cause.
