A new year 🌙 On Dec. 6, 2021, a waxing crescent Moon was captured from the International Space Station (ISS) during an orbital sunset as it flew 268 miles above the Pacific Ocean east of New Zealand. There will be many Moon milestones to look forward to in 2022 — the most notable of which will be the launch of the #Artemis I mission, the first integrated flight test of the Orion spacecraft and Space Launch System rocket. Artemis I will pave the way for a future flight test with crew before NASA establishes a regular cadence of more complex missions with astronauts on and around the Moon.
