NASA Finally Launched Artemis 1 Moon Mission
November 16th, 2022Via: space.com:
NASA’s epic Artemis 1 moon mission is finally underway.
Artemis 1 lifted off today (Nov. 16) at 1:47 a.m. EST (0647 GMT) from Pad 39B here at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, marking the debut of NASA’s huge new Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and kicking off a 25-day journey to the moon and back for the uncrewed Orion spacecraft.
That trek will put Orion and its European-built service module through its paces.
…
If all goes well with Artemis 1, Artemis 2 will send astronauts on a lunar flyby in 2024 or thereabouts, and Artemis 3 will land crew near the moon’s south pole a year or so later.
