NASA relaunched its mission to the Moon on Wednesday after nearly 50 years. After this launch, this moon mission has got another big success today. Actually, the Space Launch System Orion Capsule sent the first picture of the Earth from a distance of 92 thousand kilometers. At the same time, the vehicle is moving toward the orbit of the moon at a speed of 8,800 km per hour.

NASA’s third lunar mission in 2025

It is the first mission of NASA’s Artemis lunar program. NASA is working on a plan to land astronauts on the Moon in 2025 for its third mission. NASA plans to test the Orion satellite 60 miles above the moon’s surface before approaching it.

10 small satellites will also be installed

If Artemis-1 successfully reaches Earth’s orbit, it will be a significant milestone for the project. During the mission, Orion will also place 10 small satellites known as CubeSats. One of these will contain yeast to see how the microgravity and radiation environment on the Moon affect the growth of microorganisms. During this, IceCube will orbit the moon and search for ice reserves on the moon and which can be used by future travelers going to the moon. Will spend about 23 days in space

Orion will fire its onboard thrusters to slow the spacecraft and let the moon’s gravity help hold it in orbit. During this phase, Orion will travel about 70 thousand kilometers from the moon and will reach the farthest distance from the Earth. During this, if there were astronauts in it, they would have seen a grand view of the Earth and the Moon from afar. Orion will spend six to 23 days in lunar orbit, firing its thrusters once more to exit lunar orbit and return itself to an Earth trajec.
