NASA's Crewed Moon Capsule: Remarkable Progress Made

NASA has made significant progress on its Orion spacecraft, the manned capsule that will carry four astronauts to the Moon as part of the Artemis II mission. The crew and service modules of the spacecraft, constructed separately by Lockheed Martin and the European Space Agency, have been joined together and will undergo rigorous testing. If all goes well, the Artemis program aims to return astronauts to the lunar surface by 2025. The upcoming trials will include tests for the craft's ability to withstand extreme temperatures and launch vibrations. The crew is preparing for their historic flight as the first people to fly inside NASA's newest spacecraft built for deep space.
