NASA continues to share details about the Artemis 1 mission, which is going well according to the latest reports. This time, NASA reports that the Orion spacecraft, launched as part of the mission yesterday, set a record for flight distance that until recently belonged to “Apollo-13”: Orion flew farther from Earth than any spacecraft designed to transport astronauts. .

“[Місія] Artemis 1 was designed to load Orion’s systems and we stopped in deep orbit. [місяця] like a really good way to do it. It just so happened that we were able to break the record of Apollo 13 in this really big orbit, at a high altitude above the Moon. ‘, said NASA representative Jim Geffre.

Once Apollo 13 was 400,171 km from Earth, the new record set by Orion is 401,798 km.
