☆ Fact Check-Artemis I capsule entering low-Earth orbit before heading to Moon is not proof of flat Earth
  + stars: | 2022-11-30 | by ( Reuters Fact Check | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +4 min
The Artemis I Orion capsule entered low-Earth orbit prior to making a maneuver toward the Moon. Users pointed to the curved trajectory, seemingly moving away from the Moon, as proof that the capsule went off course. Per ESA, a low Earth orbit was done to allow mission control to perform final checks before departing toward the Moon (here). A photo showing the Artemis I Orion capsule flying past the moon in its trajectory is not proof the earth is flat, as online posts say. The spacecraft performed a low Earth orbit before completing a translunar injection toward the Moon.

NASA expects humans to live and work on the moon by 2030, an official said. NASA launched an unmanned spacecraft to the moon last week, considered a key preliminary step. NASA successfully launched its powerful new Space Launch System, or SLS, rocket last week, sending the Orion spacecraft on its way towards the moon.

Mannequins and mementos are hitching a ride aboard NASA's Orion capsule — without people. Fitted with more than 5600 sensors, Zohar and Helga will measure the amount of radiation astronauts could be exposed to in future missions. "When it comes to biological effects, different organs have different susceptibility to space radiation. Shaun, of British TV show "Shaun the Sheep" fame, is flying aboard the Artemis I mission in plush doll form. Snoopy will ride in the Orion capsule and serve as a zero gravity indicator.
☆ Watch NASA try again to launch the Artemis 1 lunar mission after months of delays

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 is launching its new mega-rocket to shoot a spaceship around the moon. Here's what to expect.

NASA's Space Launch System rocket is scheduled to launch an uncrewed mission to the moon early Wednesday. When it launches, the SLS rocket should deliver the Orion spaceship on a trajectory to circle the moon and return to Earth. Eventually, NASA plans to launch astronauts from the moon to Mars. The Orion spaceship parachutes to a splash down during a test, on December 5, 2014. If the uncrewed Orion spaceship makes it around the moon and back without a hitch, the next SLS mission will carry astronauts on the same roundabout.

☆ Meet Commander Moonikin Campos, the Artemis I mannequin
  + stars: | 2022-09-01 | by ( Ashley Strickland | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +6 min
Rather than astronauts, a mannequin named Commander Moonikin Campos will helm the Orion spacecraft, with two mannequin torsos called Helga and Zohar along for the ride. The mannequin, sporting the Orion Crew Survival System suit, can collect data on what future human crews might experience. Commander Moonikin Campos will test out a flight suit intended for future astronauts. The developers of AstroRad hope that the vest would allow future Artemis crews to continue performing daily activities despite space weather. Combating space radiationDifferent organs have different susceptibilities to space radiation, said Ramona Gaza, the MARE science team lead at Johnson Space Center.
