Everyone is freaking out about Orion's heatshield and its ability to withstand a free return trajectory from the Moon.

But did they ever get around to fixing the O-ring issues on the Shuttle/SLS boosters? February can get pretty cold.

The view from the #Orion of the far side of the Moon and Earth just before LOS - the crucial burn should have happened by now, and AOS is expected in a few minutes.

Attention! For some reason the live broadcast of the closest approach of #Orion to the Moon youtube.com/watch?v=BvWtNx3VOU… will begin two hours *earlier* today - namely at 10:15 UTC - than had been planned for many days! The change was announced only a few hours ago.

The #Orion spacecraft has entered into the lunar sphere of influence at 19:09 UTC Sunday, making the Moon, instead of Earth, the main gravitational force acting on the spacecraft. Overnight, Orion will conduct the fourth outbound trajectory correction burn in advance of the outbound powered flyby burn to accelerate the spacecraft, harness the force from the Moon’s gravity, and direct it toward a distant retrograde orbit beyond the Moon: blogs.nasa.gov/artemis/2022/11…

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: blogs.nasa.gov/artemis/2022/11…
Orion’s black-and-white optical navigation camera captured this view of the Moon on the fourth day of the Artemis I mission. Orion uses the optical navigation camera to capture imagery of the Earth and the Moon at different phases and distances, providing an enhanced body of data to certify its effectiveness as a method for determining its position in space for future missions under differing lighting conditions: https://www.flickr.com/photos/nasa2explore/52510731128/in/album-72177720303788800/
