Leaving Earth for The Moon: NASA's Artemis I Orion Spacecraft
The Space Launch System rocket and the Orion spacecraft launched at 1:47am EST from Kennedy Space Center Launch Pad 39B on November 16, 2022. This is an uncrewed flight test that will demonstrate the ability of the SLS rocket to safely carry the Orion spacecraft around the Moon and its return and recovery to Earth for the agency’s Artemis Program. Orion is completing a 25-day test flight of all key systems as part of the Artemis I mission.
Artemis I will demonstrate NASA's commitment and capability to extend human existence to the Moon and beyond. It will travel 280,000 miles from Earth, thousands of miles beyond the Moon. Orion will stay in space longer than any ship for astronauts has done without docking to a space station and return home faster and hotter than ever before.
On the Artemis III Mission, NASA will land the first woman and the first person of color on the surface of the Moon, paving the way for a long-term lunar presence and serving as a steppingstone on the way to Mars.
