On November 16, 2022, NASA successfully launched the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft for the first SLS mission, Artemis 1. This first flight was outfitted with Developmental Flight Instrumentation (DFI) such as accelerometers, pressure sensors, and strain gauges. The DFI supports many post-flight activities, one of which is the ascent loads reconstruction effort. The integrated vehicle ascent loads spans both boost phase and Core phase and often produces the largest loads experienced by the vehicle during flight. One of the primary goals of the ascent loads reconstruction is to evaluate applicable Coupled Loads Analysis (CLA) design math models, assumptions, and analysis methodologies. To achieve this goal, all significant ascent subevents have been reconstructed through the use of flight data, reconstructed inputs, and existing CLA simulations. Resulting responses have been compared to available flight measurements. Additionally, reconstructed subevent loads were combined and compared to appropriate flight data and pre-flight predictions.
