The engine that will push us to the Moon!⁣ ⁣ Teams at NASAKennedy Space Center are completing final inspections of external insulation on the service module that will propel astronauts on the #Artemis II mission around the Moon.⁣ ⁣ On Artemis I, Orion’s service module performed several main engine burns to insert and exit the spacecraft on a special path around the Moon known as distant retrograde orbit. On Artemis II, the main engine’s job will be slightly different, performing a burn to place the crew on a path in which Earth’s gravity will naturally pull Orion back home after flying by the Moon, called a lunar free trajectory.⁣ ⁣ The Artemis I Orion main engine flew on 19 different space shuttle flights between 1984 and 2002; the Artemis II main engine flew on Space Shuttle Atlantis six times between 2000 and 2002.⁣ ⁣ Image description: Technicians work on final inspections of flexible external insulation on the Orion service module inside the high bay of the Operations and Checkout...
