NASA published detailed inspection results on 15 October showing the Orion capsule's heat shield suffered significantly less ablation after Artemis II than after the first mission. Engineers credit the altered re-entry trajectory, and the shield remains under close examination in the workshop as the agency prepares for future Artemis flights.

Why now: Newly released NASA inspection data confirms the trajectory change worked, reassuring observers after earlier heat shield concerns.
