Bye, launch abort system 👋

On Wednesday, Nov. 16, NASA’s Orion spacecraft launched aboard the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket from NASAKennedy Space Center. The launch abort system was jettisoned approximately three minutes after launch of #Artemis I, as captured by a camera inside the Orion crew module.

Due to extensive ground testing and the absence of astronauts on Artemis I, the launch abort system was inert except to perform this jettison. (The figure you see in the commander’s seat is Commander Moonikin Campos, a manikin collecting data on vibrations and accelerations aboard the spacecraft.) During future crewed flights, launch abort system jettison will provide astronauts with their first view outside the capsule.
