Watch NASA's Orion capsule pass 80 miles from the Moon starting at 7:15 AM
" of the Moon, getting as close as 80 miles to the surface. The burn is the first of two maneuvers required to enter what's known as a"distant retrograde orbit" around the Moon. During the flyby, cameras inside and outside the spacecraft will document the view, with shots of the Moon, Earth and Orion itself."It’s going to be spectacular," said lead flight director Rick LaBrode.
The flyby is"the big burn that will actually move Orion and send it toward the planned distant retrograde orbit" that allows it to burn less fuel, LaBrode said earlier."DRO allows Orion to spend more time in deep space for a rigorous mission to ensure spacecraft systems, like guidance, navigation, communication, power, thermal control and others are ready to keep astronauts safe on future crewed missions," said Artemis mission manager Mike Sarafin.
So far, the mission has gone mostly to plan. However, two"active anomaly resolution teams" are investigating faults in the star tracker system's random access memory and a malfunctioning power conditioning and distribution unit."Both systems are currently functioning as required, and there are no mission impacts related to these efforts," NASA said.
