When Good Rockets Go Bad: Orion's Launch Abort System
Posted by Jason Davis
Topics: Orion, human spaceflight
One of the tricky parts of launching humans into space is deciding what to do if something goes wrong. No matter the launch vehicle, getting from the ground to orbit requires riding a controlled explosion for about nine minutes. It stands to reason that if the controlled explosion suddenly becomes uncontrolled—or stops altogether—it would be nice to have a backup plan.
On conventional rockets, where a capsule full of humans sits at the very tip of the launch vehicle, it makes sense to have a second controlled explosion at the ready that can pull the capsule away from whatever went wrong. This second rocket motor is usually built into a tower attached to the capsule, which, under normal launch conditions, gets thrown away once the capsule makes it through most of Earth's atmosphere. Future capsule designs by companies like SpaceX plan to forgo the tower and use thrusters built into the capsule. These thrusters could also be used to land the capsule in lieu of parachutes, which normally bring spacecraft home under both normal and abort scenarios.
NASA has a lot of experience with the tower system—it's been used on every American human spaceflight program except Gemini and the space shuttle. Gemini relied solely on ejection seats, but the shuttle's abort scenarios were altogether different beasts. They involved wild acrobatics that fortunately never had to be used, except for the time one of Challenger's main engines failed, and the shuttle hobbled into low-Earth orbit without much of a problem. The trouble with the shuttle's abort modes was highlighted in 1986, when Challenger's external fuel tank disintegrated, throwing the orbiter into the local airflow at forces way above design tolerances. It ripped apart, claiming the lives of seven astronauts. For the shuttle, there wasn't much you could do if the entire rocket stack suddenly fell apart around the orbiter.
So for Orion, NASA's new spacecraft, the capsule and tower system are back. Critics have questioned why NASA didn't try out next-generation abort systems like built-in thrusters or powered landings. They argue Orion is simply an Apollo redux—and that other NewSpace capsules are, as one prominent journalist once told me, "still f—ing capsules." But other considerations aside, capsules and launch abort towers are a safe bet for a government agency trying to please a long list of bureaucrats, politicians and industry leaders. Especially when Orion's end goal—humans on Mars—is far from a safe bet.
Orion's first test flight happens this December, when a Delta IV Heavy rocket will send the spacecraft on a two-orbit shakedown cruise. The spacecraft is currently sitting in the aptly-named Launch Abort System Facility, and won't roll out to the pad until November. At the LAS Facility, Orion's abort tower was gingerly installed by engineers wearing lab coats and hair nets. A hand-written sign taped to scaffolding around the capsule read "MAN LOAD, 2 Persons Total, 1 on Top Deck at a Time," serving as a reminder that people are the heart and soul of spacecraft engineering—a field that occasionally still uses Apollo-era terms like "man load."
The solid-fuel abort motor won't be active for Exploration Flight Test 1—if the Delta IV Heavy goes up in flames, so will Orion. The attitude control motor, which consists of eight gas generator-driven valves ringing the top of the LAS, won't be armed, either. The only functional rocket motor will be the jettison motor, which fires a few minutes into flight, pulling the LAS tower away from Orion, leaving the capsule exposed to space.
When actual astronauts go for a ride in Orion—by current timelines, at least seven years from now—they'll have the entire might of the LAS at their disposal. Should they need to abort, they'll be subjected to extreme forces. The launch abort motor provides 400,000 pounds of thrust, enough to accelerate the capsule from zero to 800 kilometers per hour in three seconds—and that's on top of whatever speed the launch vehicle is already going. The published numbers on how many Gs this produces varies, but it's somewhere north of 11. Eleven Gs are survivable, and the astronauts should stay cognizant enough to flip switches inside Orion while they travel a mile uphill and a mile downrange of whatever calamity is engulfing the Space Launch System, the rocket slated to carry Orion. Eleven Gs are easier to take when they push you back into your seat, as opposed to the opposite direction, where you have to start worrying abut your retinas detaching from the tissue inside your eyeballs.
Like Orion, the LAS was developed and built when NASA's human spaceflight program was still called Constellation, and the rocket system was called Ares. The first and only full test of the integrated capsule and abort system took place in May 2010. On that day, at New Mexico's White Sands Missile Range, Orion left the pad so fast that one of the video cameras trained on the pad hardly saw a thing, quickly panning upward into a trail of smoke, with a "TILT LIMIT" message flashing on the screen. Later high-frame video revealed the full magnificence of the test. As the capsule ascends, its attitude control motor fires continuously, keeping the stack upright. On its own, the LAS is aerodynamically unstable—it wants to flip 180 degrees. If you've ever chucked a dart fins-first at a dartboard, you've seen this effect in action—the dart immediately begins to reorient itself into the proper alignment. Providing you do this delicately enough, the dart will stick in the board tip-first, making you look like a carnival knife-throwing expert.
When Orion reaches the apex of its abort flight, it is allowed to make its 180-degree flip. The capsule of astronauts, who have already realized they will not go to space today, experience a brief moment of weightlessness before the capsule starts falling back to Earth, heat shield down. The jettison motor fires, pulling the LAS away from Orion. At White Sands, the LAS landed back on the desert floor in a smoldering crater.
Orion, meanwhile, sheds its Forward Bay Cover, a ring at the top of the capsule protecting the parachutes. Two drogue chutes deploy, stabilizing the wobbling capsule. The drogues pull out Orion's three main chutes, no doubt eliciting a sigh of relief from the spacecraft's occupants. During the pad abort test, Orion came to a rest among some creosote bushes, hardly scathed from the fire and fury of the abort motors that engulfed it in smoke a couple minutes earlier.
If the LAS ever gets used with astronauts aboard, it will be for just the second time in the history of spaceflight. In 1983, two cosmonauts aboard a Soyuz capsule were safely pulled away from an exploding rocket, coming to rest on the Kazakhstan steppe a few kilometers downrange. Hopefully, the incident will continue to stand alone in the annals of human spaceflight. One of many compelling reasons for sending people to Mars is making humanity a multi-planet species. But the first step to is getting off Earth safely in the first place, and that starts with a good backup plan.

362 Velours de Peche - Too dry kind of Lipstick
I bought the lipstick with high expectations since it is costly and the brand speaks of itself. When I tried it on my lips, it was too dry and lips became so chappy. I am not totally going to buy another one.

493 Velours de Violine - Matte lipstick
This is one of my favourite lipsticks. It is long lasting, I could go the whole day without reapplying the lipstick. Most important of all it moisturises my lips. Don't have to worry about dry flaky lips. It is also easy to apply thanks to the applicator.

362 Velours de Peche - Lancome L'Absolu Velours
Gorgeous liquid lipstick with a matte finish; it wears glossy for awhile before drying to a matte. The color still transfers though. The color I got was Velours de Peche (#362) and it being the lightest color in the range was still very pigmented, which says a lot. I actually love the velvety matte finish which also doesn't dry my lips out!

Charlotte - Michael Phelps, who already owns a record 22 Olympic medals that include 18 golds, will continue his comeback next week at a meet in North Carolina, USA Swimming announced Tuesday.
Phelps and fellow Olympic champions Ryan Lochte and Allison Schmitt are among those slated to compete in the May 15-18 US Grand Prix event in Charlotte.
After taking four gold medals and two silvers at the 2012 London Olympics, Phelps took 20 months away from swimming, but announced three weeks ago that he would be making a comeback.
Phelps was a runner-up to Lochte in the 100m butterfly at a US Grand Prix meet in Mesa, Arizona, last month and excited fans with the idea that he might take the plunge in quest of a fifth Olympics in 2016 at Rio de Janeiro.
Phelps and his coach, Bob Bowman, have been coy about whether or not Rio is in their plans, but the Charlotte meet and another June 19-22 in Santa Clara, California, are the best chances Phelps will have to post qualifying times for the US championships in August in Irvine, California.
That event serves as the American qualifying meet for next year's world championships in Russia, the last major full global showdown in the pool before Rio.
Phelps won an unprecedented eight gold medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, but such endurance tests and ironman efforts are likely not what the latest comeback will feature.
Phelps is expected to swim more shorter events, as he did with the 50m freestyle and 100 fly in Arizona last month. He comes off a high-altitude training camp into the Charlotte meet.

If you've been living under a rock you won't have heard about the horrific events in Orlando early last Sunday morning. 49 people were shot dead, and more than 50 injured. These were gay victims in a gay club, and yet it has been widely ignored that this was a homophobic attack.
As of now I feel hopeless. I'm afraid, and I feel out of control. But above all I'm angry. Mostly angry at the person who caused this heinous thing to happen, but also at the way in which this is simply not being talked about.
I've yet to mention here that I fall under the LGBTQ+ umbrella. I was originally going to approach this in a different manner but, in light of recent events, a jokey listpost featuring The L Word just doesn't feel appropriate. Enough about me, and more on that soon.
Perhaps the most concerning thing that's come of the last few days is the palpable lack of comment from straight people. When I'm on social media, it's more than likely my blog's twitter account, where an overwhelming percentage of people I follow are LGBTQ+ or at least bloody great allies. Being in this bubble of support made it seem at first that this kind of coverage, this united grieving and need for action, was unanimous. Only on checking back into everyday life is it evident that, all in all, nothing is being said. The people who were so passionate for social justice and love and equality when attacks hit Paris and Brussels have gone. And this is not to involve other events – all tragedies are tragedies – but I've seen more public grief over a gorilla in the last few weeks than the murder of 50 people. I've spoken to loved ones who, at best, are using #lovewins for 'that cool new emoji' and, at worst, making comments that - all intentions aside – perpetuate the ignorance that is keeping this whole situation so damn misinformed.
No matter what excuses or religious scaremongering may be spread throughout the media, this was a hate crime. This took place on a Latinx night in a gay club. This was an attack on LGBTQ+ people and POC. Failing to acknowledge this is turning your back on these communities and ignoring the privilege that you hold to carry on with your life without fear. Yet, for many, this privilege is a free pass to ignore the topic completely. Talking about this fully and openly, whilst not simultaneously outing myself, has proven hard. Because heaven forbid I get too passionate about LGBTQ rights. And that's the scary thing - the fact that you are immediately assumed to be gay if you care about this attack in any shape or form says what nothing else can.
But what next? One particular resource that has been really helpful is Hannah Hart's video made in light of this weekend. Her reaction, simultaneously so passionate and eloquent, is what really needs to be considered in asking how to progress from here. She includes a wealth of resources in the video description, linking to ways we can act against the current gun laws. Some of these may be more difficult for us non-US folk, but an email or tweet – or just spreading the word – does more than even the most well-meaning 'thoughts and prayers' ever could. Standing proud may not be possible for all of us at all times, but we need to remember these people who were killed so senselessly, and whose warped media coverage is only contributing to the heteronormativity and self-hatred which causes these tragedies in the first place. Let us do the only thing we can in the aftermath, which is to act against this hatred and the USA's incredibly, incredibly flawed system.
Inequality did not end with marriage laws. This is real and this is here, and we can't let it happen again.
