Artemis II lunar flyby success

The Artemis II crew, consisting of three Americans and one Canadian, has captured high-resolution data and never-before-seen perspectives of the lunar surface.

During their historic flyby, the astronauts witnessed a total solar eclipse from space and named a newly discovered crater in a moving tribute.

Mission control confirmed that the Orion spacecraft is performing optimally as it transitions back toward Earth's gravitational influence.

Scientists have begun analyzing the vast trove of information which will serve as a baseline for future deep-space exploration.
