Ride Along with Artemis Around the Moon (Official NASA Video)

Cameras on NASA's Space Launch System (SLS)
rocket and Orion spacecraft give us amazing views of
our adventure around the Moon. See up close views of
the Moon from external cameras as well as the view
from inside the capsule.
Orion is the only spacecraft capable of carrying
humans from Earth on Artemis missions to deep
space and bringing them back to Earth from the
vicinity of the Moon. More than just a crew module,
Orion has a launch abort system to keep astronauts
safe if an emergency happens during launch, and a
European-built service module that is the powerhouse
that fuels and propels Orion and keeps astronauts
alive with water, oxygen, power, and temperature
control, as well as a heat shield that can handle
high-speed returns from deep space. SLS is the most
powerful rocket in the world and the only rocket
capable of launching Orion with astronauts and their
supplies on Artemis missions to the Moon.
Orion launched on the SLS rocket from Launch Pad
39B at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida
Wednesday, Nov. 16, 2022. Artemis l is an uncrewed exploration ground systems for future Artemis
missions-which will provide the foundation to send
humans to the lunar surface, develop a long-term
presence on and around the Moon, and pave the way
for humanity to set foot on Mars.
