"NASA's Artemis 1: Lessons Learned Compilation"

NASA is gathering lessons learned from the Artemis 1 mission to apply to future Artemis missions and other parts of its exploration portfolio. The effort involves capturing technical and programmatic lessons from the mission, including issues with the Space Launch System, Orion, and Exploration Ground Systems. Lessons learned also encompass management and coordination, such as the need for fully partnered schedules and addressing concerns of organizational silence. The initiative aims to support Artemis 2 and other components of the Artemis lunar exploration campaign, while promoting a learning organization culture within NASA.

"NASA's Stunning Video: Artemis I Capsule's Epic Return from the Moon"

NASA has shared incredible footage of its Orion capsule's reentry into Earth's atmosphere after completing the historic Artemis 1 moon mission. The video shows the capsule's fiery plunge through the atmosphere, leaving a trail of fire in the sky. Artemis 1, launched by the Space Launch System (SLS) megarocket, marked the first liftoff for SLS and the second for Orion. The mission successfully reached orbit around the moon before returning to Earth. NASA is now preparing for Artemis 2, the first crewed flight in the Artemis program, scheduled for 2024. The overall Artemis plan aims to establish a sustainable human presence on the moon by the end of the 2020s.

"NASA's Orion Spacecraft: Unforgettable Moments from Earth to Moon"

NASA has released stunning footage of the Orion spacecraft re-entering Earth's atmosphere during the Artemis 1 mission. The video shows the spacecraft blazing through the atmosphere at over 32 times the speed of sound. Orion, designed to carry up to four crew members, successfully completed its 1.4 million-mile mission around the Moon before returning to Earth. The footage captures the spacecraft's "skip" re-entry process, where it bounces off the atmosphere to allow for more controlled splashdown. NASA plans to test crew aboard Orion in the upcoming Artemis II mission scheduled for November 2024.

"Stunning Video Captures Artemis 1 Orion's Spectacular Return from the Moon"

NASA's uncrewed Orion capsule successfully returned to Earth, marking the end of the Artemis 1 moon mission. The capsule recorded its dramatic reentry through Earth's atmosphere, capturing a trail of fire in the sky. The Artemis 1 mission, which launched on Nov. 16, 2022, utilized the Space Launch System (SLS) megarocket and the Orion capsule. The mission's success paves the way for Artemis 2, the first crewed flight in the Artemis program, tentatively scheduled for 2024. The overall goal of the Artemis program is to establish a sustainable human presence on and around the moon by the end of the 2020s.

Artemis 1 Moon CubeSat Mission in Jeopardy

NASA's LunaH-Map cubesat, which aimed to map the abundance and distribution of water ice near the south pole of the moon, may be nearing the end of its operations due to a stuck valve in its propulsion system. The cubesat was one of 10 that launched as ride-along payloads on Artemis 1, the first-ever mission of NASA's moon-bound Artemis program. The mission team has been trying to troubleshoot the issue since the spacecraft failed to perform a crucial engine burn five days after liftoff and didn't get into lunar orbit as planned.

Artemis 1 cubesat completes mission.

The LunaH-Map cubesat, launched as a secondary payload on Artemis 1, may end its operations at the end of May due to a failed propulsion system. The thruster, which uses iodine as propellant, failed to fire due to a stuck valve, and efforts to free it have been unsuccessful. The mission involved mapping the presence of hydrogen linked to water ice deposits near the lunar south pole. Many of the 10 cubesats launched on Artemis 1 suffered technical problems, and some missions had to be abandoned.
