Orion, Earth and Moon short before orion enters the backside of the moon #Artemis1 #Artemis #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #orion #ESM #NASA #ESA #Moon After the successful outbound flyby burn and swing into the distant retrograde #orbit, today's #NASA coverage of the #Artemis Mission is finished. #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #ESA #moon #ESM #orion Orion has passed the Tranquility Base and continues to join the distant retrograde orbit around the moon. the closest orbit around the moon of a human made spacecraft ever. #Artemis1 #Artemis #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion In 10 minutes Orion will fly over the #Apollo11 landing site - Tranquility Base #Artemis1 #Artemis #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion 10 of 17 significant mission goals are reached now. The 11 goal is to keep Orion into the distant retrograde orbit #Artemis1 #Artemis #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion Orion shows the #earth after returning from the back side of the moon #Artemis1 #Artemis #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion And here we have Signal again. Orion shows us the #Earth #Artemis1 #Artemis #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion Thrilling moments. Signal of Orion to come in a few seconds. Orion just passed the closest approach to the moon Signal will be back in about 2 minutes. #Artemis1 #Artemis #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion The outbound flyby burn should be complete now. 14 minutes until Orion will connect to the Deep Space Network again. In 10 minutes, Orion will have its closest approach to the lunar surface. #Artemis1 #Artemis #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion We anticipate that the outbound burn of the OMS engine has begun now. Another 2 minutes of the burn to go. A confirmation signal will come when Orion is again connected to the Deep Space Network. #Artemis1 #Artemis #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion Correction the #OMS engine flew the first time in a space shuttle in 1984 until 2022. Orion is now behind the moon. Signal is lost now for 34 minutes. This is because the moon blocks the signal to the NASA Deep Space Network. #Artemis1 #Artemis #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion Orion, the distant #earth and the moon Second picture #Artemis1 #Artemis #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion In 2 minutes Orion will get into the shadow of the moon losing connection to NASA's Deep Space Network for about 34 minutes. #Artemis1 #Artemis #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion Todays burn will take 2 minutes 30 seconds but the #OMS engine can burn for at least 16 minutes if necessary. OMS was already in space used during the space shuttle program between 1968 and 2002. #Artemis1 #Artemis #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion Orion, the distant #earth and the moon #Artemis1 #Artemis #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion Orions 1 long moon orbit will take 6 days until another burn will bring Orion back to #earth, landing in the pacific ozean on Dec 11th 2022. #Artemis1 #Artemis #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion We are 15 minutes away from go/no-go for today outbound flyby burn. Orion will then swing into a distant retrograde orbit around the moon. #Artemis1 #Artemis #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion In 30 minutes, Orion will cross the back side of the moon and we will lose the signal for a few minutes until Orion is back on the visible side and can connect to the "Deep Space Network" again. #Artemis1 #Artemis #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion Orion's velocity is increasing now step by step. Currently at 950 miles per hour and at the closest approach at a speed of 5,000 miles per hour. #Artemis1 #Artemis #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion we are 1 hour and 8 minutes away from the outbound flyby burn. #Artemis1 #Artemis #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #ESM #orion at it's closest approach #orion will be just 128 kilometers away from the lunar surface. #orion and #ESM are now just 4,100 miles away from the #moon. #Artemis1 #Artemis #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA The final trajectory was successful and #orion and #esm are coming constantly closer to the #moon. #Artemis1 #Artemis #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA We are expecting the flyby of #orion at around 13:44 CET with a live stream from NASA. The first time a flyby of a celestial body is broadcasted as live stream. #Artemis1 #Artemis #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #moon #NASA #ESA #ESM Welcome our Artemis 1 moon flyby thread where we cover the first flyby of the Orion capsular and the ESM on the moon. #Artemis1 #Artemis #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #moon #NASA #ESA #orion #ESM
