Mission diagram EFT-1 Rendering of Orion capsule and Delta IV upper-stage during EFT-1 Earth seen from the EFT-1 Orion spacecraft. The four-and-a-half-hour flight took the Orion spacecraft on two orbits of Earth. Peak altitude was approximately 5,800 kilometres (3,600 mi).
NASA artist rendering, from 1999, of the Project Orion pulsed nuclear fission spacecraft. Project Orion was a study conducted in the 1950s and 1960s by the United States Air Force, DARPA, [1] and NASA into the viability of a nuclear pulse spaceship that would be directly propelled by a series of atomic explosions behind the craft.
Nasa’s Orion spacecraft is making its way back to Earth after a trip around the moon that lasted 25 days. The uncrewed capsule, which is designed to carry astronauts, is set to splash down in ...
Uncrewed mission: SLS Block 1 Crew Kennedy Space Center, LC-39B: 25.5d (success) Maiden flight of the SLS, formerly "Exploration Mission 1" (EM1), carrying an uncrewed Orion capsule and ten CubeSats selected through several programs. [3] The payloads were sent on a trans-lunar injection trajectory. [4] [5] Artemis 2: April 2026 [6] Reid Wiseman ...
The Orion spacecraft approaches Earth (NASA via AP / AP) "This is an extraordinary day," Nelson said. "It's historic because we are now going back into space, into deep space, with a new generation."
The reasoning behind the delay was credited to issues with the Orion spacecraft heat shield during Artemis I, which was an uncrewed mission to the moon that launched from NASA's Kennedy Space ...
The Artemis I mission patch was created by NASA designers of the SLS, Orion spacecraft and Exploration Ground Systems teams. The silver border represents the color of the Orion spacecraft; at the center, the SLS and Orion are depicted. Three lightning towers surrounding the rocket symbolize Launch Complex 39B, from which Artemis I was launched.
