Next stop: lunar flyby. The Orion spacecraft recently ignited its main engine on the service module for about six minutes to provide about 6,000 pounds of thrust. This maneuver not only sets the Artemis II astronauts on the path to the Moon. It also puts the crew in a free return trajectory, which will allow them to use Moon's gravity to return to Earth.

On this day in 1972, NASA astronauts Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt lifted off from the surface of the Moon onboard Apollo lunar module Challenger's ascent stage, docking to Apollo command and service module America, piloted by Ronald Evans, approximately two hours later. No humans have visited the Moon since then, 52 years ago. The Apollo 17 Command Module is on display at Space Center Houston. The video was taken using a camera on the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV), and was remotely controlled from Earth.

BREAKING: NASA has launched four astronauts on a mission to circle the Moon, marking the first human journey back to deep space in 54 years, and the farthest distance from Earth humans will have ever traveled to date. The four astronauts on this Artemis II mission will travel 600,000 miles around the moon. During their 10-day trip, they’ll test life support systems in the Orion capsule for future crewed missions to the moon’s surface. A moon landing would occur during Artemis III, which is currently targeted to launch sometime in 2027.
