The spacecraft's resilience will be a key point of inspection for NASA engineers. While not intended to be fully reusable, the space agency plans to at least reuse some of the Orion's parts in its next iteration for the upcoming Artemis II mission, which will be carrying astronauts.
Just how much will be retrieved and reused remains to be seen, but onboard flight computers are a major candidate, and could save NASA a boatload of money if they don't need to be replaced. Of course, the capsule is valuable not just for its salvageable parts but its data, too, collected through a variety of sensors, not to mention a wealth of valuable insights that will come with analyzing the flight computers themselves.for the next Artemis II mission which will have astronauts perform a lunar flyby, currently scheduled at least two years from now.
