The close-up photos were taken Monday as Orion made its closest approach to the moon, passing about 80 miles (129 kilometers) above the lunar surface. On the sixth day of the Artemis I mission, Orion's optical navigation camera captured black-and-white images of craters on the moon below. The path is meant to “stress test” the Orion capsule, as Michael Sarafin, NASA’s Artemis mission manager, put it last week. According to NASA’s Artemis blog, the agency’s television coverage of the distant retrograde orbit insertion burn is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. After lapping the moon, the Orion capsule is expected to turn back toward Earth and make a gentle splashdown landing in the Pacific Ocean on December 11.
NASA's Orion spaceship is hurtling around the moon for the first time, in the Artemis I mission. Photos from the spacecraft show it leaving Earth and speeding to the far side of the moon. It's the first time a spacecraft made for humans has flown to the moon since the Apollo program ended 50 years ago. NASAOrion entered the "lunar sphere of influence" on Sunday, where the moon overtakes Earth as the primary gravitational force. The Orion spacecraft with the moon beyond was captured by a camera on the tip of one of Orion's solar arrays.
NASA’s Orion spacecraft approached the moon Monday morning, the agency said, as it maneuvered to enter a lunar orbit where it is expected to spend close to a week. Orion sped just 81 miles above the far side of the moon shortly before 8 a.m. ET, according to a National Aeronautics and Space Administration live stream. That distance is expected to be the nearest the uncrewed ship will come to the lunar surface during the nearly 26-day Artemis I mission that began Wednesday, when NASA blasted Orion into space on top of a powerful Space Launch System rocket.
CNN —NASA’s Orion capsule passed about 80 miles (130 kilometers) above the lunar surface early Monday, a monumental achievement in the mission designed to test the US space agency’s ability to one day return astronauts to the moon. The Artemis I mission launched last Wednesday morning, when NASA’s beleaguered and long-delayed Space Launch System, or SLS, rocket vaulted the Orion capsule to space, cementing the rocket as the most powerful operational launch vehicle ever built. NASA's Orion spacecraft approaches its closest flyby of the moon during NASA's Artemis I mission. The path is meant to “stress test” the Orion capsule, as Michael Sarafin, NASA’s Artemis mission manager, put it last week. After lapping the moon, the Orion capsule is expected to turn back toward Earth and make a gentle, splashdown landing in the Pacific Ocean on December 11.

The uncrewed capsule flew about 81 miles above the lunar surface. Artemis I launched from Florida last Wednesday. The nearly month-long journey around the moon is a critical demonstration for NASA's lunar program, and sets the stage for astronauts to return to the moon's surface.
NASA's Orion spacecraft approaches the moon, with Earth visible in the background, on Nov. 21, 2022. NASA's Orion spacecraft made its closest approach to the moon on Monday morning during day five of the Artemis 1 mission. While no astronauts are onboard, the nearly month-long journey around the moon is a critical demonstration for NASA's lunar program. Over the course of the mission, Orion is expected to travel about 1.3 million miles. The mission represents a crucial inflection point in NASA's moon plans, with the program delayed for years and running billions of dollars over budget.

The inflatable aeroshell looked to be in great condition after recovery, proving it can survive the rigors of atmospheric entry. The result: “a pretty resounding yes,” said Trudy Kortes, director of technology demonstrations at NASA’s Space Technology Mission Directorate. The mission aims to test the inflatable heat shield technology that could also land larger robotic missions on Venus or Saturn’s moon Titan or return hefty payloads to Earth. But an inflatable aeroshell could circumnavigate that dependency — and open up sending heavier missions to different planets. A double rainbow appeared across the sky over the LOFTID heat shield as it was transferred at port in Hawaii.

NASA’s Artemis I mission took a big step forward in the early morning hours Wednesday with a historic rocket launch that set the Orion spacecraft speeding toward a lunar orbit. The mission is part of NASA’s Artemis program, which aims to create a sustained human presence on the moon and push on to deeper-space operations. No one has touched down on the lunar surface since 1972.
The leaks were different from those that forced NASA to call off the first two Artemis launch attempts. As part of the Artemis program, NASA envisions regular missions to the moon to establish a base camp on the lunar surface before the agency eventually ventures to Mars. Martin added that each Artemis launch is expected to cost around $4.1 billion. If successful, Artemis I will be followed by a planned Artemis II test flight, tentatively scheduled for sometime in 2024. After that, NASA said the Artemis III flight will include the first woman and first person of color to land on the moon.

NASA's Space Launch System launched its first Orion spaceship to the moon early Wednesday. The mission is an uncrewed flight test that will lay the foundation for an Artemis moon landing.

NASA's Space Launch System rocket lifted off early Wednesday, launching the Orion capsule on its first moon mission. The SLS rocket and Orion have undergone critical tests to ensure they're ready for flight. The mission, called Artemis I, aims to send an Orion spaceship around the moon and back. Eventually, NASA plans to use the new rocket, called the Space Launch System (SLS), to set up a permanent base on the moon. "This is now the Artemis generation," Bill Nelson, NASA's administrator, said at a press briefing on August 3.
About 90 minutes later, the rocket's upper stage propelled the Orion capsule out of Earth orbit and on its trajectory to the moon, NASA said. And it was quite a sight," Artemis mission manager Mike Sarafin told a post-launch NASA briefing, using words from biblical scripture. LAUNCH PAD HEROICSWednesday's launch was not without its own drama.

It was so bright, so loud, you could feel it," said NASA astronaut Jessica Meir, an Artemis crew candidate.

Brynn Anderson/AP The NASA launch countdown clock was stopped after the launch was delayed on August 29. Throughout the mission, NASA engineers will be keeping a close eye on the spacecraft’s performance.
It's the first mission in NASA's Artemis lunar program, which the agency hopes will lead to landing astronauts on the moon by its third mission in 2025. The agency's towering Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion capsule are scheduled to lift off during a two-hour launch window that opens at 1:04 a.m. If successful, the Artemis I mission would last 26 days in total before Orion returns to Earth. NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion capsule stand in preparation to launch at LC-39B of Kennedy Space Center in Florida, on Nov. 13, 2022. NASA first tried to launch Artemis I in August but has called off multiple attempts since then after discovering technical problems with the rocket's engines.

NASA's Orion spacecraft captured a photo of the Earth and moon on the twelfth day of the Artemis I mission. Orion reaching a maximum distance of nearly 270,000 miles from Earth, before beginning the trip back. NASA's Artemis I mission, the agency's next step in preparing to return humans to the lunar surface, lifted off early November 16. The uncrewed spacecraft will go beyond the moon, farther than any spacecraft built for humans has ever flown, and return to Earth after 25.5 days. The ambitious mission kicks off NASA's Artemis program, which is aiming for the return of humans to the moon and beyond.
NASA is readying its next-generation megarocket and space capsule for a historic test flight to the moon early Wednesday morning. The debut flight of the agency’s uncrewed Space Launch System (SLS) rocket is slated to lift off at 1:04 a.m. If successful, the mission would mark a crucial step in NASA’s yearslong program to return astronauts to the moon. The SLS rocket remained on the launch pad during the storm, suffering only minor damage from high winds, according to the agency. NASA’s new moon initiative was named Artemis after the goddess of Greek mythology and twin sister of Apollo.
