It's time to come for the #orion capsular and the #ESM. Follow our thread to the return powered flyby. #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #orion #ESM

We are expecting #Orion to land on Sunday in the Pacific Ocean. We will cover this with a new thread, starting Sunday afternoon at around 17:30 CET / 18:30 SAST. Thank you for being with us. Hope to see you soon.

All system work good and the orion is on it's way back to

#earth #Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA #moon #orion #ESM

Orion is on its way back to earth and the burn for this way was successful. Orion made its closest approach to the lunar surface with just 80 miles away from the surface.

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

And we have two pictures of you from orion view to the moon.

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

the burn was successful

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

Signal is back and we getting a view from the lunar surface from orions perspective.

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

We are waiting for signal to orion spacecraft.

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

20 seconds to get signal back

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

We expect regain communication to Orion in around 7 minutes. Then orion will be back from the back side of the moon and can connect to the NASA Deep Space Network again.

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

Future Artemis missions will land on other parts of the moon as the Apollo astronauts did.

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

Future Artemis missions will bring back moon rocks again to earth and being investigated in the NASA labs same as the rocks of Hayabusa 2 and the genesis mission.

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

Timing is very important for the burns so that orion can land at the correct landing area. This is also important for future mission.

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

This burn will slingshot us around the back side of the moon. And the burn should be finished now. We expect return of the signal in 24 minutes.

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

One minute remains in the burn.

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

the OMS engine is the largest engine at button of the #ESM. the OMS engine can burn up to 16 minutes in link, but does only need 3 minutes to change trajectory of #Orion. This is still the longest burn of an #OMS engine.

#Artemis #Artemis1 #ForwardToTheMoon #WeAreGoing #NASA #ESA

the burn has started. in Around 27 Minutes we will regain contact with orion.

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

And we have lost of Signal. 1 minute till the burn.

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

The ESA provides the European Service Module, the heart of the Artemis mission.

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

Orion and the ESM are most far traveled human space craft.

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

2 minutes to loss of Signal lost. 5 minutes till the 3 minutes and 27 seconds burn. Loss of signal will take 30 minutes.

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

Now 200 miles away from lunar surface.

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

The OMS engine burn will change the velocity of orion. orion is in the proper burn attitude. the solar arrays are in place for the burn.

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

We are 5 minutes away from losing signal with orion. Burn starts in 8 minutes. Orion is currently 253 miles above the lunar surface.

It's time to come for the #orion capsular and the #ESM. Follow our thread to the return powered flyby.

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

We are already 15 minutes away from today's burn. The longest burn of the #OMS engine. Around 10 mintes aways from lost of signal. As orion will be behind the #moon and has no contact to the Deep Space Network.
