Artemis Mission Route in 3D
- This animation visualizes the Artemis mission trajectory in a dynamic 3D perspective, showing how the spacecraft travels through the Earth–Moon system while all celestial bodies are in motion. Instead of a static path, the Sun, Earth, and Moon move simultaneously, revealing the true complexity of orbital mechanics. The result highlights how the Artemis route is not a simple curve, but a constantly shifting trajectory shaped by gravity and motion. This view provides a clearer understanding of how modern space missions navigate through space in real time. Right now, Artemis is on its return path to Earth and is expected to arrive back soon as it completes its mission. The sizes and distances of the Sun, Earth, and Moon are not to scale and are adjusted for visual purposes.
The world stopped to watch Artemis II.
Moments like this remind us what is possible and inspire the next generation to dream bigger and take us even further.
We are just getting started on this grand adventure. It is time to start believing again.
BREAKING: SpaceX has officially started selling Starlink Mini.
Early Starlink customers are being invited to purchase the Starlink Mini Kit for $599 and bundle the Mini Roam service with their existing Residential service plan for an additional $30/month (The kit price will drop later. See below).
Starlink Mini specs:
• 63% lighter than the standard Starlink dish
• Built-in WiFi router, lower power consumption, a DC power input, and max download speeds over 100 Mbps.
• Fits in your backpack. Only a little bigger than a piece of paper.
• Deliveries start in July
• Operating Temp -30°C to 50°C (-22°F to 122°F)
• The Mini Roam service is an additional $30/mo for 50GB of Mobile data that can be used anywhere in the United States ($1/GB for additional data).
SpaceX said in their invite email: "Our goal is to reduce the price of Starlink, especially for those around the world where connectivity has been unaffordable or completely unavailable. But in regions with high usage, where Starlink Mini places additional demand on the satellite network, we are offering a limited number of the Starlink Mini Kits to start for $599."
Thanks for sharing this info with me @utahtemp!
