Yes, Orion will have to
jettison its service module, but shuttle has to retract
antennas, close its payload bay doors, start its APUs,

Before re-entry but not before the entry burn. Soyuz is committed
after the burn and *must* seperate cleanly. Shuttle can make sure
everything is good before committing to the burn.

Soyuz 5 had a failure to separate and the crew lived. The mount between the
entry and orbit module failed due to heat and the entry capsule brought the
crew back alive. I tried to get a failure to separate requirement into the
system, but I was shot down. If you make the attachments out of aluminum
and expose them to the airstream, they should fail in time for the entry
capsule to flip around in time. There were also more than one separation
failures in Vostok with no fatalities.
