Watch live: NASA's Artemis II crew flying around the moon today : NPR
The astronauts aboard NASA's Artemis II have now reached farther into space than humans have ever ventured. This marks a critical milestone of the agency's Orion space capsule, which launched atop an SLS rocket from Kennedy Space Center last week. The mission, which is set to complete its historic loop around the moon on Monday, is the first mission to send humans to the moon in more than 50 years. NASA's live coverage began at 1:00 p.m. The Orion spacecraft is now in the lunar sphere of influence, meaning the moon's gravity has more pull on the vehicle than the Earth. At 1:57 p.m. ET, the crew surpassed the record for the farthest distance traveled from Earth by humans, which was set by the Apollo 13 mission at 248,655 statute miles from Earth. At 2:45 p.m., the crew will begin making observations of the surface of the moon during the flyby. As the vehicle circles the far side of the moon, communication back to Earth is expected to be blocked for about 40 minutes. At 7:02 p.m., the crew is expected to have reached the mission's maximum distance from Earth at 252,760 statute miles. The flyby is scheduled to conclude at 9:20 p.m., and then the crew will be on its way home, with a planned splashdown in the Pacific Ocean off San Diego, Calif., on Friday at 8:07 p.m. During the Artemis II flyby, the crew will pass over two previous human lunar landing sites — Apollo 12 and 14. Lunar science observations During the lunar flyby, the closest Orion will come to the surface of the moon is 4,070 miles. From that distance, the crew will have a unique vantage point of the moon as a full disc — and the ability to take observations never before seen by human eyes. NASA scientists have identified about 35 geological features for the crew to observe. Working in pairs, they will take photos of the sites and describe them in real time to scientists at Mission Control at the Johnson Space Center in Houston. "They're going to be absolutely buzzing," said Artemis II lunar science lead Kelsey Young on Sunday. The team will monitor the observations and provide guidance to the crew. "The science team will get to work right away, kind of synthesizing those [observations], and then we'll actually downlink the rest of the descriptions overnight, in advance of a crew conference we'll have the following morning to continue the science discussion." Artemis II has 10 science objectives for the flyby. One is to observe color variations on the lunar surface. Changes in color can indicate...
Artemis II Flight Day 5: Crew Starts Day with Suit Demo - NASA
The morning opened to the beat of “Working Class Heroes (Work)” by CeeLo Green as the Artemis II crew, now flying about 65,235 miles from the Moon, began preparations for their first test objective of the day: an evaluation of the Orion Crew Survival System suit. The crew also heard a special message from Apollo astronaut Charlie Duke. John Young and I landed on the Moon in 1972 in a lunar module we named Orion. I’m glad to see a different kind of Orion helping return humans to the Moon as America charts the course to the lunar surface. Below you on the Moon is a photo of my family. I pray it reminds you that we and America and all of the world are cheering you on. Charlie duke Apollo 16 Astronaut NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, along with CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen, will conduct a full sequence of suit operations, including putting on and pressurizing their suits, performing leak checks, simulating seat entry, and assessing mobility and their ability to eat and drink. The suits are designed to protect astronauts during dynamic phases of flight, provide life support in the event of cabin depressurization, and support survival operations after splashdown. The demonstration offers insight into how the suit performs during extended wear in microgravity and how its enhanced mobility, thermal management, and communication systems support crew operations during Artemis missions. Later today, the crew will perform an outbound trajectory correction burn, receive their final lunar science targets, and enter the Moon’s gravitational sphere of influence. Mission managers and NASA science experts also will hold a daily mission status briefing at 5:30 p.m. on the agency’s YouTube channel.

Live mission coverage is available on NASA’s YouTube channel.
