View of Earth from Artemis 1 Moonbound

Here is the live stream of earth from the view of Artemis 1 heading for the moon after 50 years!

34 Billion spent on this project and they can't seem to make their Live Stream not cut out.

MOON MOON MOON!!!!

Are they gonna land on the moon? a reply to: shaneslaughta

This is a 21 day test flight of the European Space Agency's brand new Orion capsule. The manned mission is not slated until some time in 2024 at least. They are only going to orbit the moon at 40 ish miles for a few days then return to earth.

very cool love watching this stuff the view from 57,000 miles away I believe is what mission control said

Interesting times. Thanks for sharing. S&f

Yep traveling at about a mile per second. Fast yet way too slow for more meaningful space travel even from a solar system perspective.

yup...obviously flat-looking earth from those pics

a reply to: shaneslaughta

Video froze. Too far away. Boost the gain!

As obviously flat as your 2 dimensional viewing device.

Must enable tracking stations doppler shift compensation.

Think of it like Kentucky windage of the physics world.

Yes but now what if the capsule had a nuclear, electromagnetic, or even a solar sail? So many variables in just life support alone? Till those questions are answered being able to travel farther away is really a moot point. But there are other proposed propulsion systems that may be used in the future. But it also brings up the problem of braking once you get going so incredibly fast, while I am pretty sure NASA has done well in orbital breaking it still has huge error potential

Absolutely, there are ion thrusters on some satellites for station keep. They can be powered either from solar and battery or nuclear fueled power systems. There are in fact some nuclear batteries in use in space as well.

There are braking maneuvers that are the opposite of slingshot maneuvers. The real problem in braking is when there are no planetary bodies available to use their gravity wells for such maneuvers. Then they must use some sort of retro booster to slowly apply thrust to counter the momentum of the craft.

All quite technical processes. Thank god for navigational in flight computer systems to compute all the factors involved in these maneuvers.

I don't know the extent of my knowledge is what ive seen in documentaries, podcasts etc.

I was hoping to find a feed to follow the whole mission, definitely want to watch as it approaches lunar orbit

a reply to: putnam6

Same here, mostly everything I know is from reading things online and documentaries as well.

I would recommend you subscribe to the NASA channel on the googletube. They are my main source for anything space related. Also Spacex channel is a good source for the raptor engine and starship development. They also do a lot of government and private company launches for business like Intellisat.

MOON MOON MOON!!!!

such a joke. We have triangle reverse engineered UAPs but can't do a live stream... We are too awake for this BS NASA

a reply to: shaneslaughta

And they got through the deadly Van Allen radiation belts too ............

Still looking for live cam but here is real time tracking

www.nasa.gov...

a reply to: putnam6

There isn't a 24/7 live cam though they do show some live feeds when certain mission milestones are achieved.
Follow NASA on googletube for streams.

The capsule is shielded from a lot of the cosmic rays besides the mission is unmanned so there isn't much of a risk there anyway.
