The Orion capsule sent to the Moon as part of NASA’s Artemis I mission has shared new images from the Moon.
The Artemis 1 rocket, the first stage of NASA’s Artemis project, was successfully launched on November 16 after long delays.
The Artemis I mission sent new images from the Moon the other day. NASA’s official page also shared the images live.
The last image sent by the Orion capsule of the Moon and the crescent-shaped Earth behind it attracted great attention on social media in a short time. The image was likened to the poster of the movie Apollo 13 in the US press.
After the expeditions planned to last until 2028, it is aimed to establish a space station in lunar orbit and to organize manned expeditions to Mars by making this place a stepping stone.
REPEATEDLY POSTPONED
It was announced that the flight of the SLS-Orion spacecraft, a combination of capsule and rocket, which was scheduled to start its journey to the Moon on August 29 from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, USA, was canceled and postponed due to the inability to prevent leakage in the rocket engine.
Shortly after it was announced that the test of the new flight would take place on September 2, it was announced that the launch of the spacecraft was postponed to September 3.
It was reported that the final preparations for the launch, which was postponed for the third time due to Hurricane Nicole, were completed.
