The Orion capsule flew over the Moon's surface just 80 miles up, and is now preparing to enter a wider orbit.
The Artemis program is a robotic and human Moon exploration program led by the United States' National Aeronautics and Space Administration along with three partner agencies: European Space Agency, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, and Canadian Space Agency.
The combined SLS rocket and Orion capsule was built by Boeing and Lockheed Martin Corp respectively.
A crewed flight in lunar orbit is expected by 2024, with a landing by 2025 or 2026. benzinga
