NASA's Artemis II Spacecraft Reaches Lunar Orbit, Readies for Historic Moonshot
NASA's Artemis II mission has entered the moon's gravitational influence, setting the stage for a historic manned lunar flyby and breaking records for the farthest distance from Earth ever traveled by astronauts.
NASA's Artemis II mission has reached a critical milestone, with the Orion spacecraft entering the moon's gravitational sphere of influence. This marks the final phase of the journey, as the astronauts aboard prepare to break the record for the farthest distance from Earth ever traveled by humans.
The Orion spacecraft, which will carry the crew on this historic mission, is now firmly within the moon's gravitational pull, setting the stage for the upcoming lunar flyby. This is a significant achievement, as the Artemis II mission aims to pave the way for the Artemis III mission, which will land astronauts on the lunar surface for the first time since the Apollo era.
