In the night there was a short communication blackout to the Orion capsular. The problem was resolved quickly.
#Artemis #Artemis2 #NASA #ESA #Moon #WeAreGoing #ForwardToTheMoon #OrionCapsular #SLSrocket #ReturnToMoon #Europe #Space #scienceThe Artemis II crew did a test where they got really close to another spacecraft. This was one of the first things the mission was supposed to do. In future docking maneuvers are planned, but not proceed today
#Artemis #Artemis2 #NASA #ESA #Moon #WeAreGoing #ForwardToTheMoon #Europe #Space #scienceFour small satellites, called CubeSats, have been on the SLS rocket as secondary payload. All four have been deployed to high Earth orbit. They should help to explore the space environment.
#Artemis #Artemis2 #NASA #ESA #Moon #WeAreGoing #ForwardToTheMoon #SLSrocket #Europe #Space #scienceThe Artemis II crew finished the configuration activities of the spacecraft, including checking the toilet system. A blinking fault light occurred.
#Artemis #Artemis2 #NASA #ESA #Moon #WeAreGoing #ForwardToTheMoon #OrionCapsular #SLSrocket #ReturnToMoon #Europe #Space #scienceThe Artemis 2 crew was be able to fix the toilet with the ground teams of NASA. After that the crew took a nap.
#Artemis #Artemis2 #NASA #ESA #Moon #WeAreGoing #ForwardToTheMoon #OrionCapsular #SLSrocket #ReturnToMoon #Europe #Space #science4 hours ago, the perigee raise burn was completed. This was another planned orbital adjustment. Later today the mission management will meet to give approval for the translunar injection burn that will send the astronauts towards the moon
#Artemis #Artemis2 #NASA #ESA #Moon #ForwardToTheMoon #SpaceThe translunar injection burn is scheduled for 1:49am CEST. The burn will last for five minutes and 51 seconds, sending the crew out of the low Earth orbit.
#Artemis #Artemis2 #NASA #ESA #Moon #WeAreGoing #ForwardToTheMoon #OrionCapsular #SLSrocket #ReturnToMoon #Europe #Space #scienceThe translunar injection burn is in less than 20 minutes. The European Service Modul is about to bring humans back on the way to the moon. The first time since 50 years
#Artemis #Artemis2 #NASA #ESA #Moon #WeAreGoing #ForwardToTheMoon #OrionCapsular #SLSrocket #ReturnToMoon #Europe #Space #scienceThe crew is reporting a pressure warning in the capsular. They are investigating this now. However this is not a serious cause for the moment. We still on „go“ for translunar injection.
#Artemis #Artemis2 #NASA #ESA #Moon #WeAreGoing #ForwardToTheMoon #OrionCapsular #ReturnToMoon #Europe #SpaceThe crew now reports a stable cabine pressure. We are on „go“. The warning may results from the earlier manuel flight test of the systems by the crew.
Today was also the first time since over 50 years where humans on a space craft have been communicated via the NASA Deep Space Network.
The European Service Model which brings the astronauts to the Moon is fully developed and built in Europe mainly by Airbus Defence and Space.
The upcoming translunar injection burn will take about 5 minutes.
The translunar injection burn has started. The crew is on its way to fly around the moon.
The translunar injection burn was successful. Orion is on it‘s way to the moon. This was also the last burn in this mission as the orbit will bring orion straight back to Earth after it passed the back side of the moon.
The crew reports that everyone is well, excited and ready to go to the moon. The orion spacecraft rapidly increased speed and is now over 2.500 km away from Earth.
Orion is now almost 5.000 km away from Earth. In about 5 minutes the communication will switch from Earth satellite’s back to the Deep Space Network. Communication will remain on the DSN until orion returns to Earth.
The communication switch to the NASA Deep Space Network was successful. The crew has now a clear view to the moon surface and is taking some pictures for the world.
All systems are normal. The crew is on the way to the moon, also taking pictures from departing Earth. We will continue tomorrow. Good night and Clear Skies.
The Orion spacecraft continues it's way to the moon. The mission is a full success until now. The Moon is already visible.
#Artemis #Artemis2 #NASA #ESA #Moon #WeAreGoing #ForwardToTheMoon #OrionCapsular #SLSrocket #ReturnToMoon #Europe #Space #scienceThe crew not only communicates via radio with the NASA control room, they also exchange e-mails with important information about the flight.
#Artemis #Artemis2 #NASA #ESA #Moon #WeAreGoing #ForwardToTheMoon #OrionCapsular #SLSrocket #ReturnToMoon #Europe #Space #scienceThere have been two trajectory burns in the plan, one yesterday, one today. Both burns does not need to be proceed because the initial burn to bring Orion on the way to the moon was perfectly.
The crew is currently sleeping after they also proceed some fitness training, activated an agent that measures the health status and implications of the space travel. Results will be compared with results from the International Space Station and the probes taken from the crew after they returned.
A Waist water dump error appeared last night. The flap seems to be frozen. To unfreeze the flap, Orion has made a turn to bring the flap into sun light to unfreeze it.
#Artemis #Artemis2 #NASA #ESA #Moon #WeAreGoing #ForwardToTheMoon #OrionCapsular #SLSrocket #ReturnToMoon #Europe #Space #scienceAfter Victor Glover controlled the spacecraft manually for the first time on flight day 1, today all the other crew members will get the time to manually fly Orion to get a feeling of the spacecraft.
#Artemis #Artemis2 #NASA #ESA #Moon #WeAreGoing #ForwardToTheMoon #Europe #Space #scienceLast night the Orion spacecraft has passed 50% of it's distance to the moon. The flyby on the far side of the moon is planned for Tuesday.
#Artemis #Artemis2 #NASA #ESA #Moon #WeAreGoing #ForwardToTheMoon #OrionCapsular #SLSrocket #ReturnToMoon #Europe #Space #scienceTomorrow the crew will perform an emergency suite use to train a possible pressure lose in the Orion spacecraft. This is the main event for the crew members tomorrow. All crew members will simulate this training simultaneously.
#Artemis #Artemis2 #NASA #ESA #Moon #WeAreGoing #Europe #SpaceThe crew members caring also their personal iPhones with them. Maybe we will also see some photos and videos made by them in the near future. But for now, the pictures and videos recorded by crew are made with professional cameras
#Artemis #Artemis2 #NASA #ESA #Moon #ForwardToTheMoon #Europe #SpaceCurrently some crew members doing their exercise. After a crew member completed exercising the crew measures the CO2 levels in the spacecraft, to see if exercising has any influence on the air in the spacecraft.
#Artemis #Artemis2 #NASA #ESA #Moon #ForwardToTheMoon #Europe #Space #scienceDuring the crew is doing exercise the solar arrays have to be in a stable parking position as performing exercise creates some movement over the whole Orion spacecraft. After exercising the solar arrays will be deployed again to get enough sun energy.
