Nasa's Orion capsule makes safe return to Earth (BBC News)

After a 26-day flight around the Moon, Nasa's future astronaut ship parachutes into the Pacific.

This is taking a slow route to the Moon lasting several months. This is due to have its maiden flight above the Earth in the coming months. A third vehicle - the one that will be used on Artemis III, the lunar landing mission - is in an advanced stage of assembly in Germany. The plan is to get ready to go with humans to Mars late in the decade of the 2030s, and then even further beyond," he told reporters. In the absence of the erosion that occurs on Earth, these markings would look exactly the same today, half a century on. This was last achieved exactly 50 years ago to the day by the crew of Apollo 17.

Orion rocketed to the moon from NASA's Kennedy Space Center on Nov. 16 and spent nearly a week in a wide, swooping lunar orbit, before heading home.

Just hours earlier Sunday, a spacecraft rocketed toward the moon from Cape Canaveral. The AP is solely responsible for all content. Orion was the first capsule to visit the moon since then, launching on NASA’s new mega moon rocket from Kennedy Space Center on Nov.

The Artemis-I mission has ended successfully as the Orion spacecraft splashed down in the Pacific Ocean after 25.5 days in space and a 1.4-million-mile ...

“With Orion safely returned to Earth we can begin to see our next mission on the horizon which will fly crew to the Moon for the first time as a part of the next era of exploration,” said Jim Free, NASA associate administrator for the Exploration Systems Development Mission Directorate. This 30 day mission will see Orion—with four astronauts inside—rendezvous with an embryonic Lunar Orbital Platform-Gateway, before one female astronaut and one male astronaut descend in a SpaceX Starship vehicle to the lunar surface close to Shackleton Crater at the Moon’s South Pole. The first crewed lunar flyby of the 21st century, Artemis-II will be a repeat of Artemis-1, but with four astronauts on board to test Orion’s life support systems. As it splashed down in the Pacific Ocean at 12:40 p.m. As Orion entered Earth’s atmosphere at over 23,000 mph its heatshield reached 5,000ºF. The un-crewed Artemis-I mission was the first test flight of the Orion spacecraft, a capsule somewhat reminiscent of the Apollo capsules that took men to the Moon in the 1960s and 1970s.

Après avoir passé un peu plus de 25 jours dans l'espace et s'être rendu autour de la Lune, le vaisseau Orion de la Nasa a amerri dimanche dans l'océan ...

Le but de la Nasa est d’établir une présence humaine durable sur la Lune, grâce à une base à sa surface et une station spatiale en orbite autour d’elle. Après avoir ramené des humains sur la surface lunaire, son but est de préparer un futur voyage vers Mars. D’abord en détaillant l’état du vaisseau après son voyage, mais aussi en analysant les enregistrements de capteurs des accélérations et vibrations subies à bord, ou encore les performances d’une veste anti-radiation. L’eau sera ensuite pompée, permettant que la capsule soit lentement déposée sur un support prévu à cet effet. Peu après, des hélicoptères ont survolé le vaisseau spatial, qui ne montrait pas de dommages apparents. « Ce jour marque une grande réussite pour la Nasa, les États-Unis, nos partenaires internationaux, et toute l’humanité.

Et on a utilisé le système pour faire circuler de l’azote. Ça a bien été, mais depuis, on a fait beaucoup de progrès technologique, alors il faut s’assurer que tout ira bien. « Il y a eu plusieurs petits ajustements, notamment dans les systèmes de communication et de navigation. » Si tout va bien, Artemis 2 devrait avoir lieu fin 2024 – la NASA a besoin de deux ans pour préparer cette mission, qui comprendra une mise en orbite autour de la Lune. C’était le dernier test important avant la première mission lunaire humaine depuis 1972.

The Artemis II mission to fly astronauts around the moon is more than a year away at the earliest. It won’t be until the following Artemis III mission when NASA will attempt a crewed lunar landing. From Earth orbit, Orion journeyed to the moon, arriving six days later, then eventually entered a distant lunar orbit. After leaving its elongated lunar orbit, Orion swung by the moon again on Dec. After several delayed launch attempts due to bad weather and technical glitches going back to August, the Artemis I mission carried Orion aloft in the early morning hours of Nov. The spacecraft performed an unusual skip entry technique, bouncing off the atmosphere to slow its speed before resuming its descent.
