NASA's Artemis-1 launch highlights [Ep. 431]
NASA\u2019s Artemis I mission lifted off on Nov. 16, 2022, from Kennedy Space Center\u2019s Launch Complex 39B. This video includes highlights from the event.
\nWith 8.8 million pounds of thrust, the Space Launch System (SLS), is NASA\u2019s most powerful rocket. It will send the uncrewed Orion spacecraft beyond the Moon, 280,000 miles from Earth, farther than any human-rated spacecraft has ever flown.
\nAfter 26 days and a total distance of over a million miles, Orion will return home faster and hotter than any spacecraft has before.
\nThe primary goals for Artemis I are to demonstrate Orion\u2019s systems in a spaceflight environment and ensure a safe re-entry, descent, splashdown, and recovery prior to the first flight with crew on Artemis II.
\nThe first in a series of increasingly complex missions, Artemis I will demonstrate our commitment and capability to build a long-term human presence at the Moon for decades to come.
