Day five of the Artemis 1 mission marked a special day for NASA, with its Orion spacecraft making its closest approach to the Moon on Monday. The uncrewed rocket is NASA's most powerful to date, making the journey around the moon critical to its lunar program.
Orion is expected to travel about 2 million kilometers.
The mission had been delayed for years taking the program billions of dollars over budget. Artemis has a series of missions planned, most notably and scheduled for 2025, to take astronauts to the moon's surface, something that hasn't been done since the Apollo missions.
