Artemis II Lunar Flyby Success
The Artemis II mission has achieved several historic milestones, including the furthest distance from Earth ever traveled by humans.
During their loop around the moon, the crew witnessed a total solar eclipse and observed rare micrometeorite impacts on the lunar surface.
NASA scientists expressed delight at the quality of data and imagery transmitted from the Orion capsule.
The mission is now focused on a critical splashdown scheduled for Friday, which will test the capsule's heat shield under extreme conditions.
