Artemis 2 opsendes succesfuldt fra Kennedy Space Center

Dansk

Nasa's Artemis 2 Orion-kapsel er succesfuldt opsendt fra Kennedy Space Center med fire astronauter ombord, der begiver sig ud på en 400.000 kilometer lang rejse mod Månen. Raketten nåede overlydshastighed og bevæger sig nu med 27.000 km/t. Det automatiske opsendelseskontrolsystem har overtaget styringen.

Nasa's Artemis 2-mission lettede succesfuldt fra Kennedy Space Center, hvilket blev dækket i DER SPIEGELs liveblog. Tilskuere overværede opsendelsen, mens astronauterne gik ombord i Orion-kapslen én efter én. Påfyldning af brændstof begyndte kl. 14:35 under gunstige vejrforhold.

Raketten accelererede hurtigt, brød lydmuren, fløj i en suborbital bane og nåede 27.000 km/t mod Månen. Teknikere havde kontrolleret raketten selvdestruktionssystem og løst mindre problemer, såsom et defekt batteri.

Sikkerhedsfunktionerne inkluderer et nødudgangssystem med kabelskakter, et afbrydelsessystem for Orion-kapslen samt redundante systemer til kontrol, livsunderstøttelse og motorer. Det 13 tons tunge servicemodul kommer fra Tyskland, ligesom strålingsmålingerne leveres af en tysk virksomhed.

Den amerikanske transportminister Pete Buttigieg forudsagde sejr i kapløbet mod Månen og Mars. Amerikanske borgere støtter i høj grad Nasa's rumprogram.

Four astronauts are heading to the Moon for the first time in over 50 years. The crew launched at 18:35 local time from Cape Canaveral, Florida, aboard the Orion capsule atop the Space Launch System. The mission builds on Artemis 1 and sets milestones for women and non-white astronauts.

NASA releases initial Artemis II mission assessments

NASA has completed initial evaluations of the Artemis II mission systems following the crew's safe return from a lunar flyby earlier this month. The Orion spacecraft and SLS rocket performed as expected, setting a new record for the farthest distance traveled from Earth. Minor issues arose with the toilet system, but the crew resolved them successfully.

Artemis II detects helium leak but proceeds to safe reentry

NASA's Artemis II mission, the first crewed flight of the Orion spacecraft around the Moon since 1972, has encountered a helium leak in its service module but officials say it poses no threat to the crew's return. The spacecraft, carrying astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen, launched on April 1 and is set for splashdown in the Pacific Ocean on Friday evening. Ground teams adjusted the flight plan to study the leak while maintaining nominal performance.
