The Artemis I mission successfully demonstrated the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Module ability to trigger parachute deployment, control angular rate and touch-down heading using reaction control jets while under parachutes, and automatically detect splashdown. Guidance and control logic is implemented to initiate para-chute events in a favorable dynamic state and select a touchdown heading direction that will minimize impact loads at splashdown. Detection of splashdown inhibits control to prevent firing reaction control jets under water and begin the transition into post-landing activities that cut parachutes and deploy the Crew Module Up-righting System (CMUS). This paper presents analysis of Orion descent and landing guidance and control performance for the Artemis I mission utilizing imagery taken from the vehicle, recorded flight data, and results from high fidelity simulations.
