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.⁣
