NASA Reveals Every Artemis II Orion Onboard Camera Footage for the first time! Inside & Outside Clip === #spacexcommunity #nasa #spacex #starship === The first human mission beyond Earth orbit in more than 50 years is underway with an April 1 launch of four astronauts on a flight around the moon. The Space Launch System rocket lifted off from Launch Complex 39B here at 6:35 p.m. Eastern on the Artemis 2 mission. After a normal ascent, the SLS upper stage and Orion spacecraft separated from the core stage about eight minutes later in a low transfer orbit. “It was an amazing ride uphill,” Artemis 2 commander Reid Wiseman said in a transmission from Orion about three hours after launch. During the countdown controllers reported an issue with the rocket’s flight termination system and, later, with one of the batteries in the launch abort system. Both issues were resolved before the opening of the launch window. Controllers also addressed a brief loss of telemetry from the vehicle. On board the Orion spacecraft, called Integrity by its crew, are NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover and Christina Koch and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen. Wiseman is the commander of Artemis 2 and Glover the pilot, with Koch and Hansen serving as mission specialists. The upper stage, called the Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage or ICPS, performed a burn of its RL10 engine 49 minutes after liftoff to raise its perigee to 185 kilometers, ensuring it is in a stable orbit. A second burn about an hour later raised its apogee to more than 70,000 kilometers.
