Share:
The crew of NASA's Artemis II mission will test manual control of the Orion spacecraft during their return journey to Earth. The astronauts are scheduled to perform hands-on piloting exercises with the spacecraft as they make their way back home. The Artemis II mission represents a crucial step in NASA's program to return humans to the Moon, serving as the first crewed test flight of the Orion capsule around the lunar vicinity. This manual control test will provide valuable data on the spacecraft's handling characteristics and crew interface systems ahead of future lunar landing missions.
