Artemis 1's Orion spacecraft captures stunning photos of the moon during its closest approach

The moon is ready for its close-up.

The moon looks spectacular in images captured by NASA's Orion spacecraft as it cruised just 81.1 miles (130 kilometers) above the lunar surface during the Artemis 1 mission's closest approach to Earth's natural satellite on Monday (Nov. 21).

These detailed black and white images were snapped by the Orion spacecraft's onboard optical navigation camera on day 6 of the mission, the same day it performed a crucial engine burn. 

Orion is currently gearing up for a critical maneuver that will insert the capsule into a high orbit around the moon on Friday (Nov. 25). The capsule will perform a single-engine burn and all being well, will remain in lunar orbit for about one week before embarking on its journey back to Earth. The spacecraft is scheduled to splashdown in the Pacific Ocean off the California coast on Dec. 11.

8 clips of the recent (first) launch of the most powerful rocket yet. Unmanned, to circle the moon. Apparently, if this works out, both the main (“SLS”) rocket system and the included “Orion” project will be given human-carrying certification. All that carefulness must be why they’re years late on this first try.

Each clip is doubled with a slo-mo of same, total is 13:05. No music added until the slo-mo part of the last POV (10:15+), tasteful and dramatic, description credits it to the channel owner.

I believe it is the channel owner (Tim Dodd?) who is dancing and hooting (on the left, well before the other peeps raise their arms) at his irl view in the real time clip of 4/8 (2:37+).

“[[[HEADPHONES ON]]] Crank the volume on this incredible floating point audio from inside the pad and 3.5 miles [5.6 km] away from the most powerful rocket to ever launch from Kennedy #Space Center, SLS!!! 4K slow motion captured on ZCam's and BlackMagic 12K Ursa and Studio 4K's.

NASA launched the Orion spacecraft to a distant retrograde lunar orbit atop the Space Launch System (SLS) for its maiden launch known as #Artemis 1. Launched from Launch Complex 39B, at the Kennedy Space Center, in Florida, the Artemis I mission will certify both Orion and the SLS Block 1 rocket for crewed spaceflight.
