0NASA Launched 10 Cubesats Into Space.. Here's What We Know
Welcome back to Tech Vault. Most of the Artemis 1 cubesats have checked in as the Orion spacecraft looped around the moon, but a few still have not phoned home after launch. Some of the Artemis 1 mission's cubesats are thriving after launching on a moon mission on Nov. 16, but a handful are struggling in deep space. Artemis 1, the first flight of the Artemis program, launched early in Wednesday morning (Nov. 16). NASA's massive Space Launch System rocket successfully sent an uncrewed Orion spacecraft on a journey to the moon, along with a clutch of cubesats aiming to perform various science missions in deep space.
As it heads for the Moon, NASA's Orion space capsule is sending back snapshots of Earth that evoke the "blue marble" pictures taken by Apollo astronauts five decades earlier. This time around, the photographer is basically a robot, built into the camera system for the uncrewed Artemis 1 mission. The round-the-Moon odyssey got off to a spectacular start early today with the first launch of NASA's Space Launch System, and over the next 25 days, it's due to blaze a trail for future crewed trips to the lunar surface.
