Ride Along with Artemis Around the
Moon (0fficial 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
bandle high-enaod roturne from doan enaca I ic
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 I is an uncrewed
flight test of our SLS rocket, Orion spacecraft, and
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.
