Artemis I / Orion Re-Entry & Splashdown (2022) (full un-edited video from inside capsule, including audio) (fedi.video)

Full un-edited video taken by a GoPro camera inside the Orion capsule on the Artemis I uncrewed mission to the Moon and back in 2022. Splashdown happened on 11th December 2022.

The video is in a raw state directly from NASA's online archive. It also captures audio inside the capsule, and you can hear the various sounds of thrusters being activated and vibrations on the capsule as it makes its way back down to the Earth's surface. There are no captions as the only sounds are ambient noise without any specific audio events.

Artemis I was an uncrewed test of all the equipment necessary for humans to return to the Moon. The follow-up mission Artemis II will perform another lunar fly-by but with people on board. This will be followed by Artemis III, which will have people actually landing on the Moon's surface for the first time since 1972.

This video is made by NASA and is in the public domain.

they couldn't have cleaned the window before launch?

Not sure about the yellow stain but couldn't the water stains have come from the ascent?

Artemis 1 got some great pictures and footage.

Watching the final parachutes open up is soothing. Also, the window collected so much dust since entering the atmosphere.

If I were an astronaut on board of one of these capsules, I would cry so badly and yell for my mom, although I'm a little bit jealous of the massive adrenaline rush they get to enjoy.
