Engineers have identified the issue with the Orion spacecraft's heat shield, but NASA isn’t revealing the details yet.

This week’s mission is the first time a NASA spacecraft has been powered by European engineering. Artemis is not an all-American mission—it’s global. Orion is made of three main sections.

NASA identified more than 100 locations where ablative thermal protective material was liberated during its speedy reentry.
