One of the hard parts of tracking launchers is knowing where to point. The trajectory is fixed, but the time is not. We slide the trajectory clock as close as we can, then tighten it up after acquisition. Then fresh, actual trajectory data comes and it's easy. Today GHY-6 nailed Orion, and we're working through the cubesats. So far so shiny. #artemis1 #goonhilly #spaceops

@bocs Super interesting Ed! To your knowledge is the current position shown here accurate?

If not, are there alternative sources you could point to?

NASA: Artemis II

Artemis I will be the first in a series of increasingly complex missions to build a sustained human presence at the Moon for decades to come.

@andrestumpf Yes this is a great site, but its really to visualise things in a relative way for public. For actual data, the public source i can point you to is the Horizons system, here: https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/horizons/.
