As night falls NASA's Kennedy Space Center, tanking of the SLS Moon rocket proceeds smoothly. The liquid oxygen and helium propellant for the main stage are in fast-fill mode, another two hours of fuelling is expected for the core stage. Fill it up! ⛽🚀
Yesterday, Orion Spacecraft manoeuvred its solar arrays and captured the Moon as seen here with a camera mounted on the end of the array. The #Artemis I spacecraft is now over halfway to the Moon. NASA Artemis Airbus Space @AirbusDS_NL Beyond Gravity Human Spaceflight #OrionESM
Inside Mission Control rn🤩 Flight Controllers here NASA's Johnson Space Center successfully performed a burn to insert Orion Spacecraft into a distant retrograde orbit! More details here: blogs.nasa.gov/artemis/
📷 Iconic photo: a proud moment for ESA, European industry and international partners. A view of our home planet and Moon from the #EuropeanServiceModule, powering Orion Spacecraft on the #Artemis I lunar mission 👉 esa.int/ESA_Multimedia… #OrionESM #ForwardToTheMoon #ExploreFarther
Love the gentle swaying of the solar arrays on Orion Spacecraft during the DRO burn a short while ago (note the Earth coming into/out of view in the gap between the solar array and the European Service Module). Such a great job from all involved! NASA Artemis European Space Agency
Today, we tested changing the minimum jet firing time for the reaction control thrusters on the @ESA-built European Service Module to model jet thruster firings that we'll use on #Artemis II. Read more about today's Orion Spacecraft activities at blogs.nasa.gov/artemis.
Great views of the #Moon and the thrusters that will make soon possible the lunar flyby that will return the Orion Spacecraft spacecraft to planet #Earth. The smaller engines are part of the European Space Agency propulsion system on the #EuropeanServiceModule for #Artemis I.
This is the view some 11 000 km away from #Earth, flying over #Antarctica. Barely 20 minutes to go before the European Service Modules detaches from Orion Spacecraft's crew capsule.
The moment the European Service Module team celebrates a successful separation from Orion Spacecraft, at European Space Agency's evaluation room in ESTEC, the Netherlands. #ForwardToTheMoon and back with #Artemis I. Well done, everybody! 👏🏽 🤩
Time to celebrate! 🥳 A happy team stands together after the successful #Artemis I mission that took Orion Spacecraft beyond the #Moon with the help of the European Service Module. #SpaceTeamEurope 📸 More pics at work from European Space Agency's mission evaluation room: flickr.com/photos/esa_eve…
Today I am lucky to visit the European Service Modules in production at Airbus Space in Bremen. With 3 in production and 1 completing integration with Orion Spacecraft in USA, we are on track to continue the legacy of Artemis I. It’s a privilege to be part of the #Artemis generation.
The European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) in Noordwijk, The Netherlands is the technical heart of European Space Agency and of Orion Spacecraft's service module. Thank you to this team for your invaluable efforts pushing us to the Moon on #Artemis I!
#Artemis II crew visited the Airbus Space clean room in Bremen, Germany to meet the European engineering team and see the 4 European Space Agency service modules that will carry crews on missions to land on the surface of the Moon!
