After leaving remote retrograde orbit on the afternoon of Thursday, December 1, Orion finished a prepared trajectory correction burn to tweak its course towards theMoon The five-second burn (see video listed below) took place at 9: 54 p.m. CST on Thursday, and altered the spacecraft’s speed by about 0.3 miles per hour or less than half a foot per second.
On Artemis I, Flight Day 17 (Friday, December 2), groups gathered extra images with Orion’s optical navigation cam and downlinked a wide range of information files to the ground. This consisted of downloading information from the Hybrid Electronic Radiation Assessor, or HERA. The radiation detector procedures charged particles that travel through its sensing units.
Measurements from HERA and numerous other radiation-related sensing units and experiments aboard Artemis I will assist
