I believe that is being done for video, but not sure about pictures. Those are being done with a Nikon digital, so there is the delay of just transferring data from the camera cards to the computer. If I were still working I would likely be on one of the servers scouring for images. In doing ISS support, images were often stored on the server within 24 hours of crew ops, and they were never shy about taking too many pictures. Fortunately those were all accessible from my desk; no need to be in the B30 mission control. There’s also plenty of vehicle data that will only be accessible after splashdown. The nature of engineers wanting instrumentation everywhere and limited telemetry bandwidth.

does anyone know what time they expect to cannonball (for lack of a better word) into the ocean tomorrow?
Google indicated around 8:00PM Eastern
Thanks for bumping the thread and the reminder. I’ll definitely be watching. Godspeed Artemis 2!
Interesting thanks! I look forward to seeing them in action.
happy landing day!
I liked this article.
I know they’ve got their schedule sorted exactly but it made me laugh to see “on april 10 they will wake up at 11:35 am.” All that $ to send em into space and they’re up there sleeping til nearly noon…

It all depends on what time zone you are in. What time zone is it in deep space?
The article did a good job discussing the dangers of re-entry. I’m nervous but cautiously optimistic. Godspeed Artemis II

Looks to be the same as the NASA youtube channel coverage. CM sep done. Always a nail biter - want those pyro bolts working! Good view of the heat shield.

Watching live on youtube, capsule separation , very cool. 
BTW, you can go to NASA: Artemis II for real-time speed, distance.
And hopefully we will get a video similar to Artemis I in the coming days. You get a real sense of the ride from the onboard camera - REAL TIME - Artemis 1 Orion Re-Entry

Am I the only one scratching my head at this recovery footage?
They were showing footage of the boats heading out there and being very close to the capsule and the helium devices were NOT inflated.
Then it transitioned immediately to footage of the capsule WITH the helium devices inflated but boats are nowhere to be seen…
I’m not that drunk. What’s happening?
Man that 3rd main chute took its sweet time to fully deploy. I was a little nervous there…
