Orion will fly just over 80 miles above the lunar surface as it orbits the moon. NASA's live coverage of the flyby will begin at 7:15 a.m. ET, with the outbound set to take place at about 7:44 a.m. ET. NASA says it expect to lose communication with the spacecraft as is passes behind the moon for approximately 34 minutes starting at 7:26 a.m. ET.
The three-week test, if successful, will allow for a manned crew to take the Orion around the Moon in the future. The Artemis I program, which has been set up to return Americans to the Moon for the first time since the Apollo program ended more than 50 years ago, plans to make its orbit around the Moon with humans onboard in 2024 and land astronauts on the lunar surface by 2025. Eventually, in the 2030s and 2040s, NASA plans to build a base on the Moon and send astronauts to Mars.
The $4.1 billion test flight is set to last 25 days, roughly the same as when crews will be aboard. The space agency intends to push the spacecraft to its limits and uncover any problems before astronauts strap in. The test dummies — NASA calls them moonikins — are fitted with sensors to measure such things as vibration, acceleration and cosmic radiation.
