Artemis I was an uncrewed Moon-orbiting mission that was launched on November 16, 2022. It was the first major spaceflight of NASA's Artemis program and marked the agency's return to lunar exploration since the Apollo program after five decades. It was the first flight test of the Orion spacecraft and the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and the mission's main objective was to test the Orion spacecraft in preparation for future Artemis missions. Artemis I was launched from Launch Complex 39B at the Kennedy Space Center. After reaching orbit, the upper stage separated and performed a trans-lunar injection before releasing Orion and ten CubeSat satellites. Orion completed one flyby of the Moon on November 21 and completed a second flyby on December 5.

Why no mention of post recovery analysis of data and capsule condition

Why no mention of post recovery analysis of data and capsule condition ? In particular, There were early reports of heat shield spalling, and much later, images of many large areas of heat shield loss. These have been widely reported. A top Artemis 1 mission objective was to test the new heat shield design. - Rod57 (talk) 10:03, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
