We are ready. 🚀

In just five days, the first launch opportunity of the integrated NASA SLS rocket and NASA Orion spacecraft will take place. The uncrewed #Artemis I mission around the Moon will pave the way for future crewed missions and begin a new chapter of exploration.

Fires of the new behemoth. A little delayed, but what a great start.

"In 1973, Skylab, America's first space station, was launched aboard a two-stage Saturn V vehicle. Saturn IB rockets were used to launch three different three-man crews to the Skylab space station."

Date: May 1, 1973

Incredible onboard footage from the launch of Artemis I!

And the aftermath of 8,800,000 pounds of thrust.

The Adventures of Commander Moonikin Campos

Artemis I will be an enormous step toward humanity’s return to the Moon. This mission will be the first flight test of the integrated Space Launch System rocket and the Orion spacecraft — the same system that will send future Artemis astronauts to the Moon. That’s why NASA needs someone capable to test the vehicle. Someone with the necessary experience. Someone with the Right Stuff. (Or... stuffing).

Meet Commander Moonikin Campos. He is a manikin, or a replica human body. Campos is named after Arturo Campos, a trailblazing NASA employee who worked on Apollo missions. Arturo Campos’ skill as an electrical engineer was pivotal in the rescue efforts to help guide the Apollo 13 astronauts home.

As the leader of the mission, Commander Campos will be flying in the pilot’s seat for the length of the mission: a journey of 1.3 million miles (~2 million km) around the Moon and back to Earth. He's spent years training for this mission and he loves a challenge. Campos will be equipped with two radiation sensors and will have additional sensors under his headrest and behind his seat to record acceleration and vibration data throughout the mission.

Traveling with Campos are his quirky companions, Zohar and Helga. They’re part of a special experiment to measure radiation outside of the protective bubble of Earth’s atmosphere. Together with their commander, they’re excited to play a role in humanity’s next great leap. (And hopefully they can last the entire flight without getting on each other's nerves.)

Will our brave explorers succeed on their mission and ensure the success of future Artemis operations? Can Commander Moonikin Campos live up to the legacy of his heroic namesake?? And did anyone remember to bring snacks??? Get the answers in this thrilling three-part series!

In the first part of Commander Moonikin Campos’ journey, our trailblazing hero prepares for liftoff from NASA’s spaceport at Kennedy Space Center  in Florida, gets acquainted with the new hardware aboard the Orion spacecraft, and meets his crewmates: Helga and Zohar!

In the second part of the trio’s adventure, Campos, Helga, and Zohar blast out of the Earth’s atmosphere with nearly 8.8 million pounds (4 million kg) of thrust powering their ascent. Next stop: the Moon!

In the final chapter of the Artemis I mission, Campos and friends prepare for their return home, including the last and most dangerous part of their journey: reentering Earth’s atmosphere at a screeching 25,000 miles per hour (40,000 kph).

Artemis 1 is launching tomorrow morning 8:33 am EDT (12:33 UTC). Want a quick lowdown on the mission and how and where to launch (also details if you want to see in person or go to a watch party)? Check out my blog post.

A Family Portrait: The Earth, The Moon and Orion

📷: NASA's Artemis I Mission

—

Artemis 1, officially Artemis I and formerly Exploration Mission-1 (EM-1), was an uncrewed Moon-orbiting mission.

As the first major spaceflight of NASA's Artemis program, Artemis 1 marked the agency's return to lunar exploration after the conclusion of the Apollo program five decades earlier.

It was the first integrated flight test of the Orion spacecraft and Space Launch System (SLS) rocket.

The main objective was to test the Orion spacecraft, especially its heat shield, in preparation for subsequent Artemis missions.

I really need to go to bed but I'm still shaking from the launch lol I still can't believe I got to witness it for myself in real time, I genuinely don't have any words. Congrats to NASA and the Artemis team, you truly have earned your place in history

i watched Artemis launch from 12 miles away and I am so so so emotional about it. This photo was taken at almost 2am but the whole sky is lit up because it’s literally a second dawn to watch her and every single person there, outside in the middle of the night in a weeknight after multiple failed launch attempts and scheduling delays and a rough storm season, gasped and cried and watched her fly because she’s so so so so so loved and I just—I cannot take it my heart cannot endure how much I love her that’s the worlds darling
