Leaving Earth orbit, ✅. Next up: Finalizing the Moon observation plan. Artemis II is both a test flight and a science mission. Astronauts, flight controllers, & science teams are working together to squeeze as much knowledge as possible out of the crew’s lunar flyby. ⬇️ (1/6)

(2/6) As the Orion capsule leaves Earth orbit, one of the final pieces of the planning puzzle is falling into place: the crew’s flight path around the Moon, which determines what they'll see during their flyby.

(3/6) Just as landscapes on Earth look different at high noon and sunset, lighting conditions across the lunar surface will influence what the Artemis II astronauts observe and photograph as they slingshot around the Moon.

(4/6) The angle of sunlight hitting the Moon changes by about 1 degree every 2 hours, so the flyby timeline shapes the science strategy. The spacecraft's exact path will affect the crew’s view, too. Here at Mission Control in Houston, the Lunar Science Team is ready.

(5/6) They'll spend the next few days generating a packed Lunar Targeting Plan for the several-hour-long flyby, so the Artemis II crew can make the most of their unique opportunity to observe and document the Moon’s far side for all of us back home.

(6/6) Image description: Data visualization showing a preview of Artemis II’s predicted path around the Moon. Right now, the Lunar Science Team is working to generate the final version of this trajectory, which will feed into the Moon observation plan they’re making for the crew.

Fantastic four's are ready!

Can't wait to see the new moon pictures

It’s the 'squeeze as much knowledge as possible' part for me. The data from this lunar flyby is going to change the textbooks for the next generation. Can’t wait to see the Moon observation plan in action!

Thanks for sharing. Your website AROW link is NOT user friendly in mission view. It should be made for a 10yr old. You are sending folks to the moon, but the web page is whack. See what Im saying.

Some incredible mathematics went into calculating this! 🤓 @elsleightholm

Don't take that left at Albuquerque.

Never realized the moon was that far away when I look at it with my bare eyes it doesn't seem to be that far.

I want to be a space scientist🥰

Love seeing flight controllers + science teams synced up like this. 🎯

hi space community! I created a Live Orion tracker page, it's a proof of concept, similar to the official Nasa live tracker, the difference is I added: - time replay (go back/ahead in time) - if you add your location it will calculate RA/DEC so you can use your home telescope :)

🌙✨I’m following this amazing lunar journey with great interest and excitement.I can’t wait to see all the work you’re doing and the images you share..Wishing the lunar science team and brave astronauts the best of luck 🌕💫🤩

@NASASolarSystem Yes I know that...75.54x64.59.53x37. emc

Amazing

Not many people have had a world other than earth dominate their gravitational pull. So excited! God speed Artemis 2

❤️❤️❤️ exciting times, brave souls 🙏🙏🙏 God Bless 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸

Thanks

Can't wait for the lunar flyby imagery! Documenting these historic moments is why I love what I do 📸✨

No landing?

Um passo inestimável para a ciência

Awesome

space is amazing. it gives me hope for humanity.

@NASASolarSystem Animation is all NASA has.

@NASASolarSystem Seems like a lot of tax dollars being spent for a joy ride. NASA is a black hole.

What about the right hand rule?

Would love to see pictures of the old equipment/ flag left on the moon by Apollo Astronaut's

I’m hoping to see better animation from GROK for the starship.🚀

@michaeljohns What happened from all the data from the first time….. oh wait!!!

What a math complex, beautiful!! 😍

Leaving home…

@NASAArtemis Nasa live

Best of luck🤞 to all the four crews of Artemis II and Orion. Let’s get captured by Moon’s gravity, do a perfect flyby of Moon, take some nice breath taking visuals, fire the booster, get captured by Earth’s gravity and splash down on Earth. Praying for a safe journey and return.
