How NASA is preparing for the Moon with CAPSTONE | News Blurb

The first Artemis mission has been launched toward the Moon - NASA’s CAPSTONE, or “Cislunar Autonomous Positioning System Technology Operations and Navigation Experiment.”
CAPSTONE is expected to reach its intended orbit -- a Near-Rectilinear Halo Orbit -- on Nov. 13, 2022. It'll spend about six months verifying the stability of the orbit, which is the same one that NASA plans to send the Lunar Gateway space station in 2025. CAPSTONE is also expected to communicate with the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter to verify a spacecraft-to-spacecraft navigation technique.

A HUMAN SPACEFLIGHT ODYSSEY
Orbital Velocity aims to offer casual observers and devoted space enthusiasts alike the best media chronicling humanity’s journey toward becoming a multiplanetary species by providing informative, digestible and accurate content.
The story of human expansion into low-Earth orbit and beyond is happening right before our eyes. Starting with the International Space Station, the mission of Orbital Velocity is to act as a “living time capsule” chronicling these ambitions to live and work off the planet.

With Artemis 1 expected to launch as early as Aug. 29, I’m making a series of videos leading up to that mission. The first is over CAPSTONE, a CubeSat currently on its way to the Moon to verify an orbit for the Lunar Gateway. Let me know what Artemis mission you are most looking forward to seeing fly. 🚀
