Thank you very much for being with us and we wish you a good night. See you on Wednesday for the next step in the Artemis 1 mission and the Artemis program.

On Dec 1st 22:30 CET / 23:30 SAST, we #Orion and #ESM will leave the distant retrograde #orbit. We will be here for a coverage as well. More coverage will be on Dec. 5th, 8th and Dec 11th with the return and landing of #ESM & Orion to

On Wed. Nov. 30th at 23:00 CET / Dec 1st Midnight SAST, #NASA will hold a briefing to talk more about the tests and experiences of the distant retrograde orbit. We will cover this briefing with another short #twitter thread.

#Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #ESM #Moon

This was everything for today's coverage. We had a successful burn to enter distant retrograde orbit of the moon. BRIEFING TO PREVIEW DISTANT RETROGRADE

#Artemis1 #Artemis #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #orion #ESM #NASA #ESA #Moon

Orion will last in this orbit there until Thursday and will than leave the orbit to return home - to planet

#Earth #Artemis1 #Artemis #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #orion #ESM #NASA #ESA #Moon

#Orion and #ESM have successfully entered the distant retrograde orbit around the #moon. Orion travels now with a velocity of 2,252 miles per hours.

#Artemis1 #Artemis #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #orion #ESM #NASA #ESA #Moon

the burn is done. we are waiting for confirmation if successful.

#Artemis1 #Artemis #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #orion #ESM #NASA #ESA #Moon

and the burn has begun. one minute to go.

#Artemis1 #Artemis #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #orion #ESM #NASA #ESA #Moon

we have live views from orion capsular and esm now. 30 seconds to go

#Artemis1 #Artemis #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #orion #ESM #NASA #ESA #Moon

Till now NASA does not deliver live pictures from the Orion and ESM cameras.

#Artemis1 #Artemis #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #orion #ESM #NASA #ESA #Moon

And we have 5 minutes left till the burn. We also have a go from the crews and the flight director for this burn.

#Artemis1 #Artemis #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #orion #ESM #NASA #ESA #Moon

This gives the #gateway station a stable and energy efficient orbit around the #moon. This is also important for a gateway station around #Mars in the future. gateway can also be the start platform for a Mars mission.

#Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #orion #ESM #NASA #ESA

later #moon #gateway station will be in the so-called NRHO orbit. it's an oval formed orbit around the lunar surface that brings the gateway up to 80 miles close to the lunar surface but also almost as far as the distant retrograde

#orbit #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing

The distant retrograde orbit is also a very stable orbit around the moon. It will give the team on the ground the possibility to test the space craft and how it reacts and works in Deep Space.

#Artemis1 #Artemis #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #orion #ESM #NASA #ESA #Moon

It's flight day 10, today. Orion is currently on velocity of 2,354 miles per hour.

#Artemis1 #Artemis #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #orion #ESM #NASA #ESA #Moon

The burn will take 1 minute and will bring #orion in the distant retrograde orbit. This orbit is a very fuel saving orbit and will not used by Artemis 2 or later missions.

#Artemis1 #Artemis #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #orion #ESM #NASA #ESA #Moon

We continue our coverage of today's burn. In about 8-10 minutes NASA will start its live coverage and the thruster ignition is planned for around 22:52 CET.

#Artemis1 #Artemis #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #orion #ESM #NASA #ESA #Moon

#Orion and #ESM have successfully fulfilled the burn.

#Artemis1 #Artemis #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #orion #ESM #NASA #ESA #Moon

#Orion is still in lunar orbit for 6 days but is rushing ahead of the moon. Therefore, the ignition of the thruster takes place today. So, the #moon can catch up the capsule again and Orion can stay in the lunar orbit until December 1st.

#Artemis1 #Artemis #ForwardToTheMoon #ESM

NASA TV and ESA WebTV broadcast is scheduled for 22:30 CET and the European Service Module's burn is scheduled for 22:52 CET.

We welcome you to another thread to cover the Artemis 1 mission with the Orion capsular & the European service modul. Today we report from the Distant Retrograde Orbit (DRO) insertion burn. Stay tuned!
