Agi: Artemis sempre più vicino alla Luna

AGI - Artemis II ha appena raggiunto il traguardo dei "due terzi" del viaggio verso la Luna. Durante il quarto giorno di volo, si legge su X, "gli astronauti a bordo di Orion hanno ripassato i piani per studiare la Luna durante il prossimo sorvolo e si stanno attualmente esercitando nel controllo manuale della navicella spaziale".
Gli astronauti della missione Artemis II sono giunti a metà del viaggio verso la Luna e in una intervista rilasciata a Nbc News dalla capsula Orion, hanno descritto la prospettiva inedita con cui hanno visto il satellite e il suo lato nascosto, e lo stupore provato.
Da Artemis la prospettiva inedita di Christina Koch In particolare, l'astronauta della Nasa Christina Koch ha descritto la vista della Luna dal finestrino della capsula, sottolineando che appariva diversa da come era abituata a vederla dalla Terra. "Le parti più scure non sono proprio al posto giusto - ha raccontato - e qualcosa mi fa pensare che questa non sia la luna a cui sono abituata". Koch ha affermato che lei e i suoi compagni di equipaggio, gli astronauti della Nasa Reid Wiseman e Victor Glover e l'astronauta canadese Jeremy Hansen, hanno confrontato le loro osservazioni con i materiali di studio per capire cosa stavano vedendo. "Questo è il lato oscuro. È qualcosa che non avevamo mai visto prima", ha detto Koch.
Il viaggio di Artemis e lo stupore di Reid Wiseman Gli astronauti sono ufficialmente diretti sulla Luna da giovedì sera, quando la navicella ha effettuato una manovra di accensione dei motori che ha spinto la capsula fuori dall'orbita terrestre. Wiseman ha definito il volo una "magnifica impresa" e ha affermato che la possibilità per gli astronauti di osservare sia la Terra che la Luna dalla loro navicella spaziale è stata "davvero impressionante. La Terra è quasi in eclissi totale. La Luna è quasi in pieno giorno, e l'unico modo per godersi questo spettacolo è trovarsi a metà strada tra i due astri", ha detto.

Artemis closer to the Moon

AGI - Artemis II has just reached the “two-thirds” milestone of its journey to the Moon. During the fourth day of flight, according to X, “the astronauts on board Orion reviewed the plans for studying the Moon during the next flyby and are currently practicing manual control of the spacecraft.”

The Artemis II astronauts are halfway through their journey to the Moon and, in an interview released to NBC News from the Orion capsule, they described the unprecedented perspective with which they saw the satellite and its far side, and the wonder they felt.

From Artemis, Christina Koch’s Unprecedented View

Specifically, NASA astronaut Christina Koch described the view of the Moon from the capsule window, noting that it appeared different from how she was accustomed to seeing it from Earth. “The darker areas weren’t exactly in the right place – I said – and something made me think this wasn’t the Moon I’m used to.” Koch stated that she and her crewmates, NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman and Victor Glover, and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen, compared their observations with study materials to understand what they were seeing. “This is the dark side. It’s something we’d never seen before,” Koch said.

Reid Wiseman’s Journey and Wonder

The astronauts are officially headed to the Moon since Thursday evening, when the spacecraft performed a rocket firing maneuver that pushed the capsule out of Earth orbit. Wiseman called the flight a “magnificent achievement” and said that the opportunity for astronauts to observe both Earth and the Moon from their spacecraft was “truly impressive. The Earth is almost in a total eclipse. The Moon is almost in daylight, and the only way to enjoy this spectacle is to be halfway between the two stars,” he said.
