NASA’s Artemis II crew entered the Moon’s sphere of gravitational influence on Sunday, marking a major milestone in humanity’s return to deep space. The Orion spacecraft is now set to pass behind the Moon on a “free-return” trajectory before reaching the farthest distance humans have ever travelled from Earth. Artemis II, launched on April 1, is the first crewed lunar mission since the Apollo era and is expected to last around 10 days. #ArtemisII #NASA #MoonMission #SpaceExploration #Orion #ArtemisProgram #Apollo
