djcinsb.thinksysinc.com @djcinsb.thinksysinc.com · 03/04/2026Yeah, it's basically semantics. The mission plan does have a few slots (looked like maybe 2 or 3) for course corrections after the lunar flyby, but those are likely small burns to tune the arrival point. (I probably would have called TLI a lunar targeting burn...but I tend to be too picky on this.) 010
djcinsb.thinksysinc.com @djcinsb.thinksysinc.com · 03/04/2026For this distinction I'm not quite sure where to draw the line. I'm pretty sure (but have not checked - needs an orbital solution) that without the Moon, Artemis would stay "above" the atmosphere and not impact the Pacific Ocean. So do I say "deorbit" before the lunar flyby occurs, or afterwards? 100
