Orion gets Photo of Craters on the Moon in incredible detail
Pop in on the Artemis I mission with some neat photography
“Mr. Demille, I’m ready for my closeup…” said the Moon, probably.
On the sixth day of the Artemis I mission, Nov. 21, 2022, the Orion spacecraft’s optical navigation camera captured images of craters on the Moon. This photo of the Moon is from the first human-rated vessel since Apollo. The optical navigation camera on Orion takes black-and-white imagery of the Earth and the Moon at different phases and distances; this technology demonstration will help prove its effectiveness for future missions with crew.
Expect more photos in the coming days as Orion did one final lunar fly-by before its return to Earth in a few days.
