No crater photos than these 🕳⁣ ⁣ On the sixth day of the #Artemis I mission, the Orion spacecraft captured the closest photos of the Moon from a human-rated vessel since Apollo – 80 mi (128 km) above the lunar surface.⁣ ⁣ This photo was taken using Orion’s optical navigational system, which captures black-and-white images of the Earth and Moon in different phases and distances. This vital technology demonstration on the Artemis I flight test will help prove its effectiveness for future crewed missions.⁣ ⁣ Orion also passed over the landing spots from Apollo 11, 12, and 14 and is on its way toward a distant retrograde orbit, a high-altitude orbit that moves Orion in the opposite direction that the Moon travels around Earth.⁣ ⁣ Image description:⁣ ⁣ 1: A close black-and-white photo of the surface of the Moon showing craters of various sizes dotting its surface. The Moon appears in shades of gray on the left of the image, with the blackness of space on the right third of the photo.⁣ ⁣ 2:...
