NASA Administrator Bill Nelson (left), Jeannie Schulz, widow of Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz, and Snoopy are all smiles during a Wednesday, April 5, 2023, visit to NASA Headquarters in Washington. As part of the visit, Schulz showed the flown Artemis I Snoopy zero gravity indicator before it goes to its final home for display at the Schulz Museum in San...
Snoopy, the zero gravity indicator that flew aboard Orion during the Artemis I mission, wears a smile after being unpacked from his transport case on Jan. 5, 2023. Zero gravity indicators are small items carried aboard spacecraft that provide a visual indicator when a spacecraft has reached the weightlessness of microgravity. NASA has held an association wit...
The Artemis I Orion capsule is secured on a platform inside the Multi-Payload Processing Facility (MPPF) at Kennedy Space Center in Florida in this image from Jan. 6, 2023. Orion splashed down on Dec. 11, 2022 and was transported back to Kennedy for de-servicing inside the MPPF. During Orion’s 25.5-day trip beyond the Moon and back, it flew farther than any ...
An osprey is seen in front of NASA’s Space Launch System rocket with the Orion spacecraft aboard as launch preparations continued Friday, Sept. 2, 2022, at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. This photo was chosen by the NASA Headquarters photographers as one of the best from 2022. See the rest on Flickr. Image Credit: NASA/Keegan Barber 2022年9月2日，星期五，在佛...
At 12:40 p.m. EST, Dec. 11, 2022, the Orion spacecraft for the Artemis I mission splashed down in the Pacific Ocean after a 25.5-day mission to the Moon. Flight controllers in mission control at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston spent about two hours performing tests in open water to gather additional data about the spacecraft. Orion was then recovered ...
NASA的猎户座飞船在完成了一项破纪录的任务后，于太平洋时间周日上午9点40分在下加利福尼亚州西部的太平洋溅落，在绕月轨道上飞行了140多万英里，安全返回地球，完成了阿尔忒弥斯一号的飞行测试。
On flight day 20 of the Artemis I mission, Dec. 5, 2022, Orion captured the Moon on the day of return powered flyby, the final major engine maneuver of the flight test. The burn, which used the spacecraft’s main engine on the European-built service module, lasted 3 minutes, 27 seconds, and changed the velocity of the spacecraft by about 655 mph (961 feet per...
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...
2022年11月21日，在阿尔忒弥斯1号任务的第六天，猎户座飞船的光学导航相机拍摄到了月球下方陨石坑的黑白图像。这张照片和其他拍摄到的照片是自阿波罗号以来从载人飞船上拍摄的离月球最近的照片。光学导航相机以不同的相位和距离拍摄地球和月球的黑白图像；这项技术演示将有助于证明其在未来载人任务中的有效性。
2022年11月28日，周一，NASA的猎户座宇宙飞船在执行阿尔忒弥斯1号任务时达到了它与地球的最大距离——距离我们的母星268,563英里，比以往任何旨在将人类送往太空和返回的宇宙飞船都要远。在这张照片中，猎户座号捕捉到了地球和月球的独特视角，这是由安装在飞船太阳能电池阵列上的相机拍摄。
