"During the lunar flyby, the closest Orion will come to the surface of the moon is 4,070 miles [6,550 kilometers]. From that distance, the crew will have a unique vantage point of the moon as a full disc — and the ability to take observations never before seen by human eyes."

@stefan This was totally bad intel on my part and I miss-read the Canadian Space dashboard schedule. It's looking like a 6:30pm start time (EST). Apologies.
This is another reason why I haven't been selected for Astronaut school.

@stefan It went down for me also, but came back up. Hopefully a refresh will bring it online. I would imaging the load on his server is more than he expected.
(I also bought him a couple of cups of coffee for his work in bringing Artemis tracking into our homes. buymeacoffee.com/chadohman)

@Nead Yes, very well deserved!
