Marcos Fernandexz Tous is a professor of aerospace technology at the University of North Dakota .
He says Orion's heat shield took severe damage during its reentry in 2022 .
Tous: The heat shield is a critical component in the form of the shell shield that encapsulates the spacecraft.
The new launch date for the Artemis I mission is April 2026 .
NASA used the same heat shield design for Orion as the Apollo capsule.
But during the Apollo missions, the char structure didn’t break like it did on Orion.
After nearly two years spent analyzing samples of the charred material, NASA concluded that the Orion project team had overestimated the heat flow.
