US EditionNo Turning Back: After Critical Engine Burn, Jeremy Hansen Is Moonbound
The Orion capsule completed a translunar injection burn, putting the four astronauts on a 10-day mission that could set a human distance record.
- On Thursday, the Orion capsule ignited its main engine in space, placing the Artemis II crew on track for a historic lunar flyby after launching Wednesday from Kennedy Space Center, Florida.
- NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen lead this 10-day mission, marking humanity's first voyage to the moon in more than 50 years.
- "With that successful TLI, the crew's feeling pretty good," Hansen told mission control, as the capsule's trajectory will take them within roughly 4,112 miles of the moon.
- Mission control guided the crew through plumbing repairs after a toilet malfunctioned, and the team also conducted a "proximity operations" test to manually pilot the spacecraft.
- The space agency plans to establish a sustainable lunar base, with a crewed landing targeted for 2028, positioning this mission as critical groundwork for deep-space exploration.
