25-day journey to the moon.. NASA’s Orion spacecraft returned to Earth safely!

After 1972, NASA plans to launch a mission to send humans to the moon by 2025. After 50 years, it is doing technical and safety tests to send humans.

Efforts have been made since earlier this year to send the Orion spacecraft into lunar orbit with the Artemis 1 rocket as its first mission. The test flight, which was postponed several times due to technical glitches, was launched on the 16th of last month.

After separating from the Artemis 1 rocket, the Orion spacecraft traveled 6 days and reached lunar orbit. It set a record by traveling in the closest orbit to the moon. It also captured the top of the moon and the view of the earth from the moon.

In addition, Orion, which flew above the lunar landing sites in the 1970s, took pictures of it and returned to Earth after completing 25 trips around the moon.

After traveling nearly 1.4 million miles, the Orion spacecraft warmed to about 2800 degrees Celsius as it entered Earth’s atmosphere and then parachuted into the Pacific Ocean.

During the 25-day journey, the Orion spacecraft’s sensors recorded information about the changes in space, the moon’s atmosphere, and atmospheric heat and pressure during the return to Earth. NASA scientists are collecting data from the capsule’s sensors after landing.

The Orion capsule, developed by improving the body systems of the space shuttle capsule used in the 1970s, is said to help predict the changes that will occur when humans go to the moon and improve the technologies accordingly.

Next, preparations are underway for a 2024 non-landing Artemis 2 mission to bring humans close to the moon. The Artemis 3 project is set to launch in 2025 to take humans to the Moon’s South Pole. For all these these data are important.

It is believed that the details of the manned mission to the moon will soon be released by NASA.
