NASA's mighty Artemis 1 rocket is finally launched
NASA's stunning Artemis 1 rocket launched for the first time, lighting up Kennedy Space Center as it headed toward the lunar zone. It passed key milestones such as max Q, strong rocket booster release, spacecraft adapter separation, and SLS first degree separation without issue. The 4 sunbeams number one have also deployed, so flight is nominal about half an hour after release.
Artemis now follows an elliptical orbit around the Earth, which becomes more circular before the trans-lunar injection to be able to take it in the direction of the moon.
The single post is below.
is once again preparing to launch after technical issues and hurricanes interrupted previous attempts. The next launch window < /a> for the unequipped, the flight across the Moon will be open for two hours, starting at 1:04 a.m. ET on November 16. In case NASA needs to clean it up again, the company has scheduled another backup release window, which will open at 1:45 a.m. on November 19.
The organization had planned a release attempt for November 14, but Hurricane Nicole forced a . NASA Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft on launch pad because typhoon hit Kennedy Space Center. They suffered minor injuries, but not enough to press for a longer postponement.
NASA first attempted to send Artemis 1 into space on August 29, however, and forced the organization to wash out preliminary release tests. The next shot on an outing last September also failed to exercise. NASA took the SLS and Orion to protect them from data. Here's hoping NASA can finally ship them their way this time.
