NASA's Orion spacecraft has left for Earth after completing the Moon mission. NASA's Orion spacecraft on Monday passed close to the Moon and used a gravity assist to return to Earth, marking the start of the return journey for the Artemis-1 mission.

 

Could not connect for 30 minutes

NASA's uncrewed Orion spacecraft flew less than 80 miles (130 kilometers) from its closest point. However, communication with the capsule was interrupted for 30 minutes during this time as it approached the Moon.

 

What did Debbie Korth, deputy manager of the Orion program say?

"We couldn't be more pleased with how the spacecraft is performing," said Debbie Korth, deputy manager of the Orion program. He said that once communication was restored, spectacular footage flashed on his screen. Everyone in the room kept watching this footage. He said that this moment tells us that we are saying goodbye to the moon.

 

The flight was filled on 16 November

Please tell me that Monday was the last day of the mission. NASA's Mega Moon rocket SLS lifted off from Florida on 16 November. From beginning to end, this journey lasted for about 25 and a half days. It is noteworthy that the Orion spacecraft can land in the Pacific Ocean away from San Diego at 9:40 am local time on Sunday, December 11. After which it will be mounted on a US Navy ship.

 

Orion spent about 6 days around the Moon

Earlier during the mission, Orion spent about six days in a distant retrograde orbit around the Moon. Which means traveling at higher altitudes and opposite the direction of the Moon. A week ago, Orion broke the distance record by 280,000 miles (450,000 kilometers) from our planet. Once it returns to Earth, Orion will have traveled more than 1.4 million miles, said Mike Sarafin, Artemis mission manager.
