The view from NASA's Artemis mission yesterday is just...words fail me.

HT @JPMajor@twitter.com and the brilliant engineers & scientists who made this happen.

#NASA #Artemis #space


On Saturday the #Artemis I Mission Management Team polled “go” for #Orion’s outbound powered flyby past the #Moon. NASA will cover the flyby live on NASA TV, the agency’s website, and the NASA app starting at 12:15 UTC Monday, Nov. 21. The burn is planned for 12:44. Orion will lose communication with Earth as it passes behind the Moon from 12:25 through 12:59., making its closest approach of approximately 139 km from the surface at 12:57 UTC: https://blogs.nasa.gov/artemis/2022/11/19/artemis-i-flight-day-four-testing-wifi-signals-radiator-system-go-for-outbound-powered-flyby/


Another #Moon image courtesy of the #Artemis I mission ... but not from the Orion but the Italian CubeSat #ArgoMoon launched with it! See https://www.asi.it/2022/11/artemis-1-argomoon-ecco-le-prime-immagini-mozzafiato-della-terra-e-della-luna/ for more and also an Earth image.


Another #Earth view from the #Orion capsule heading away and to the Moon: found in the new #Artemis album https://www.flickr.com/photos/nasa2explore/albums/72177720303788800/with/52508986185/ with so far mostly video clips from the many on-board cameras.


Also released only a few hours ago: a video still showing a member of the famous Red Crew working the crucial packing nut and making the #Artemis I launch possible! From https://www.facebook.com/NASAGroundSystems/posts/pfbid0MkmP3DTmFBgtoKXKKakzgzs11JmRSVk6R1pDNNZUToHJZoHRr4aC43MngpgQTvD8l


A few hours after the #Artemis I presser a 75-second video - https://twitter.com/cknasaboy/status/1593795617989578754 or https://twitter.com/TJ_Cooney/status/1593781952456294401 - has appeared that shows the Moon for the first time, behind the Orion ESM.


One new visual from the #Artemis I press conference - recording at https://twitter.com/NASA/status/1593735329047277569 - was the full separation sequence of the Orion/EMS stack from the SLS upper stage: here is a still.


Now on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21X5lGlDOfg - belatedly - an #Artemis I update!
