Victor Glover, another skilled Navy test pilot and ISS veteran, is in the copilot\u2019s seat; he is also about to make history by becoming the first black astronaut to reach the far side of the Moon. Christina Koch, an electrical engineer with an excellent resume, is the mission specialist on board; she still maintains the record for the longest solo spaceflight by a woman, at an incredible 328 days.

Over the course of around 70 minutes, Orion will pull back from the upper stage, do a fast loop around, and then the crew will take manual control and gently guide the spacecraft towards it. They are collecting handling data to help develop navigation systems for future missions that will operate near the Moon without the use of GPS.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"How Artemis II Will Fly Around the Moon\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/D1dwkxOSGYA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe title=\"How Artemis II Will Fly Around the Moon\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/D1dwkxOSGYA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><br \/>The entire operation will take around 10 days, from launch to splashdown in the Pacific. After finishing their task in Earth orbit, the crew will initiate the translunar injection burn, which will send them to the Moon. Then, on April 6th, they\u2019ll fly over, getting close enough to the far side to view it for themselves. Before Orion returns home, its instruments will collect data on the lunar surface, the radiation environment, and the effects of deep space on the human body.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
