Next stop: the Moon 🌕
On this week’s #HWHAP, @NASA and @fireflyspace experts discuss the upcoming launch of Blue Ghost Mission 1, its lunar lander, and the science and technology being delivered to the Moon’s surface. https://t.co/yQSXScDiQm
On the ninth day of the #Artemis I mission, the @NASA_Orion spacecraft completed its sixth outbound trajectory correction burn at 4:52pm ET (21:52 UTC). This is the final trajectory correction before entering distant retrograde orbit tomorrow. https://t.co/eGDhvLgTze

This is Artemis All Access Episode 2 - your latest updates from #Artemis I. Coming up:
Nov. 25: Distant retrograde insertion burn
Nov. 26: Orion will break Apollo 13's distance record
Nov. 28: Max distance from Earth
Footage from a remote camera placed inside Launch Complex 39B by Exploration Ground Systems for the launch of @NASAArtemis I on November 16, 2022, at 1:47 a.m. EST.
Watch to the end to see @NASA_SLS start its roll program! #WeAreGoing#Artemis
Getting into winter, we’re going to see a lot coming out of the sky like snow, sleet and ice. But we may see some other activity as well…perhaps a flash in the night sky from the Leonids meteor shower! It looks to peak in mid-November, so be on the lookout!
.@NASA_Orion is on track to enter distant retrograde orbit on Friday, Nov 25, and will travel over 57K miles beyond the Moon, passing a record set by Apollo 13. It'll be the furthest a human-rated spacecraft has traveled from Earth, reaching a max distance of over 268K miles.
As @NASAArtemis continues to meet new mission milestones, this week's #NASASTEM Artemis I Learning Pathway newsletter puts a spotlight on Breaking Boundaries.🚀

Humbling.
This is the whole world in one photo, taken by @NASA_Orion’s solar array wing camera from just above the lunar surface. It just keeps getting better.
Live Now: Experts from @NASAArtemis and @NASA_Orion discuss the spacecraft's lunar flyby as it moves toward a distant retrograde orbit.
Orion’s closest approach was around 80 miles (128 km) above the Moon’s surface. https://t.co/dZkzHUUKUF
#Artemis I, Flight Day 5. Orion spacecraft takes a selfie while approaching the Moon ahead of the outbound powered flyby - a burn of Orion's main engine on the @ESA service module. During this maneuver Orion came within 81 miles of the lunar surface.
We'll be sharing Orion's snapshots throughout the mission. Don't forget to submit your own images, art, poetry, or any creation honoring the Moon, using #NASAMoonSnap!
The #Artemis flyby of the Moon is a big moment for the propulsion teams on Earth as they fire the European Service Module's engines in a large burn.
