Image of Earth taken by Orion unmanned spacecraft. (NASA releases)
According to the US media "Florida Today" news network on the 16th, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) lunar rocket "Artemis 1" launched in the early morning of the 16th. NASA subsequently released images of the earth taken by the rocket carrying the Orion unmanned spacecraft. The last time I took pictures of the Earth from a human moon-land spacecraft was " Apollo 17 " 50 years ago.
Orion took off the rocket about 2 hours after launching. The spacecraft is equipped with 16 shots inside and outside to capture the moon-circling mission from different angles. It shows that 9 hours after the launch, the camera took pictures of a corner of Orion and part of the Earth, and there was a photo of Moonikin Campos sitting in the cabin. The dummy is named after the late NASA engineer Campos, who was one of the heroes who safely sent the " Apollo 13 " astronaut back to Earth.
There is a dummy command inside the Orion. (NASA release)
Orion is expected to be closest to the moon next Monday (21st), enters orbit around the moon next Friday (25th), and lands near the coast of San Diego in the Pacific on December 11. The entire mission takes about 25.5 days.
