On the 19th day of the Artemis I mission, Dec. 4, 2022, a camera mounted on the Orion spacecraft captured the Moon just in frame as Orion prepared for its return powered flyby on Dec. 5, when it passed approximately 79 miles above the lunar surface. Orion performed the return powered flyby burn at 11:43 a.m. EST, changing the velocity of the spacecraft by ap...
Snoopy, the zero-gravity indicator for NASA’s Artemis I flight test, floats in space on Nov. 20, 2022, while attached to his tether in the Orion spacecraft. In this enhanced image, Snoopy stands out in a custom orange spacesuit, while Orion’s interior has been shaded black and white for contrast. The character’s spacesuit is modeled after the sui...
NASA’s uncrewed Orion spacecraft snapped this black and white photo of Earth on Nov. 17, 2022, the second day of the 25.5-day Artemis I mission. The optical navigation camera is used to capture imagery of the Earth and the Moon at different phases and distances, which help establish its effectiveness as a way of determining its position in space for future m...
On Nov. 20, the fifth day of the 25.5-day Artemis I mission, a camera mounted on the tip of one of Orion’s solar array wings captured this footage of the spacecraft and the Moon as it continued to grow nearer to our lunar neighbor. The spacecraft entered the lunar sphere of influence at 2:09 p.m. EST, making the Moon, instead of Earth, the main gravitational...

In this competition, students from Tribal Colleges and Universities, Native American Serving Nontribal Institutions, and schools with American Indian Science and Engineeri...
Our Space Launch System (SLS), the most powerful rocket in the world, carrying the Orion spacecraft launches on the Artemis I flight test, Wednesday, Nov. 16, 2022, from Launch Complex 39B at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 1:47 a.m. EST. Artemis I is the first integrated flight test of the agency’s deep space exploration systems: the Orion spacecr...
2022年11月16日星期三，NASA的太空发射系统火箭携带猎户座飞船在阿尔忒弥斯1号飞行测试中发射，发射地点位于佛罗里达州的NASA肯尼迪航天中心的39B发射场。NASA的阿尔忒弥斯1号任务是该机构深空探索系统的首次综合飞行测试：包含猎户座飞船、太空发射系统（SLS）火箭和地面系统。SLS和猎户座飞船于美国东部时间凌晨1:47从肯尼迪航天中心的39B发射台发射。 影像来源：NASA/Bill Ingalls 继世界上最强大的火箭——NASA的太空发射系统(SLS)成功发射后，该机构的猎户座飞船作为阿尔忒弥斯计划的一部分，正在前往月球的途中。SLS搭载一枚无人猎户座火箭，于美国东部时间周三凌晨1点47分从NASA位于佛罗里达州肯尼迪航天中心的39B发射台升空，进行了首次飞行测试。 这次发射是任务的第一站，猎户座...
NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket with the Orion spacecraft aboard is illuminated by spotlights atop the mobile launcher at Launch Pad 39B as preparations for launch continued Sunday, Nov. 6, 2022, at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. SLS and Orion arrived at the launch pad on Friday, Nov. 4, after a nearly nine-hour journey from the Vehicle Asse...
这张由NASA毅力号拍摄的带注释图像显示了第一个样品库的位置——火星车将在那里存放一组样品管，以便将来可能送返地球——位于耶泽罗陨石坑的一个叫三岔口的区域。这张照片拍摄于2022年8月29日。 影像来源：NASA/JPL-Caltech NASA的毅力号火星车将在火星上建立第一个样品库。 10月19日，NASA与其合作伙伴欧洲航天局（ESA）签署了一项正式协议，这一史无前例的从火星返回科学选择样本计划迈出了重要一步。这两个机构将着手在火星上建立一个样品管仓库。样品仓库或储藏室将位于三岔口，这是一个位于耶泽罗陨石坑一个古老河流三角洲底部附近的区域。 这个样品仓库将包含从火星表面精心挑选的岩石中提取的样本——这些样本可以帮助讲述耶泽罗陨石坑的历史和火星是如何演变的，甚至可能包含古代生命的迹象。科学家们认为，从三角洲...
NASA的毅力号火星车将其机械臂放置在火星耶泽罗陨石坑中一个名为“斯金纳岭”的岩石露头周围。这幅由多幅图像组成的拼图显示了三角洲悬崖表面的层状沉积岩，以及火星车研磨圆形斑块以分析岩石成分的位置之一。 影像来源：NASA/JPL-Caltech/ASU/MSSS NASA的毅力号火星车正在进行第二次科学活动，在一个长期以来被科学家认为是在火星上寻找古代微生物生命迹象的最有希望的区域内采集岩芯样本。自7月7日以来，火星车从红色星球杰泽罗陨石坑的一个古老河流三角洲采集了四个样本，使具有科学意义的岩石样本总数达到了12个。 “我们之所以选择耶泽罗陨石坑进行探索，是因为我们认为它有最好的机会提供科学上优秀的样本，现在我们知道我们把探测器送到了正确的位置。”NASA华盛顿科学副局长托马斯·祖尔布琴说。“前两次科学活动产生了...
