NASA: Orion spacecraft enters orbit around the moon, 79 miles from surface | NASA’s Orion is now on a path back to Earth after performing an engine burn that shot it around the dark side of the moon. This also brought Orion 79 miles within the lunar surface for its closest flyby yet. The Artemis ground team lost communication with Orion for 31 minutes, but when the capsule came back online, it shared stunning close-up images of the moon. One of the images shows a Orion covered by the moon’s shadow and a sliver of Earth hanging in the background of space.
