A Well-traveled Beagle | NASA's Artemis I Moon Mission
After launching atop the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket on Nov. 16, 2022, from the agency’s Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida, Orion spent 25.5 days in space before returning to Earth, completing the Artemis I mission. Orion stayed in space longer than any ship for astronauts has done without docking to a space station and returned home faster and hotter than ever before.
The Artemis I mission is the first integrated test of NASA’s deep space exploration systems: the Orion spacecraft, the SLS rocket, and Kennedy Space Center's Exploration Ground Systems.
