YOGYAKARTA - Orion's first mission and the European Service Module will send a spacecraft beyond the Moon and return again. The mission, called Artemis I or the Artemis 1 (previously Exploration Mission-1) mission, will not carry crew but will be controlled from the ground.
It will be launched by the Space Launch System of the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, USA. The spacecraft will enter low Earth orbit before the top of the rocket turns on to carry it into translunar orbit.
Artemis 1 mission
The spacecraft will fly past the Moon, using lunar gravity to gain speed and propel itself 70,000 km beyond the Moon, nearly half a million km from Earth further away than any human has ever done.
On his way home, Orion will fly past the Moon again before returning to Earth.
The duration of the Artemis I mission depends on the launch date and even time, and will last from 20 to 40 days depending on how many lunar mission designer orbits will guide the Orion Module of European Services on its way. The long variation of this mission as the mission must end with a spraydown during the day in the Pacific Ocean, off the coast of California, USA. The European Service module was separated and burned undetected in the atmosphere shortly before the Orion crew module crashed.
The second Artemis mission will have a similar flight plan but with four astronauts.
Technical details
The total launch mass of the European Service Module is 13,500 kg for lunar missions (Orions will weigh a total of more than 20 tons):
