first Artemis two science officers, Kelsey Young, Trevor Graff, and
11
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:55.719
Angela Garcia, are pioneering a new era of mission operations
12
00:00:56.039 --> 00:01:01.880
by integrating advanced lunar science directly into mission control. Their
13
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:06.640
work will shape how future Artemis crews observe, analyze, and
14
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:10.920
deepen our understanding of the Moon. After a picture perfect
15
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:14.599
launch Wednesday placed the crew of Artemis two into a
16
00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:21.239
highly elliptical Earth orbit, Astronauts Reed Wiseman, Victor Glover, Jeremy Hansen,
17
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:24.959
and Christina Coke are now officially on their way towards
18
00:01:24.959 --> 00:01:27.840
the Moon, the first humans to make such a journey
19

Red Wiseman took this picture of Earth from the Orion
21
00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:40.719
spacecraft's window after completing the translunar injection burn. There are
22
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:43.879
two auroras, and zodiacal light is visible.

As the Earth eclipses the Sun. The maiden Virgo climbs
24
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:54.000
the eastern sky. Her brightest star, Spisa, gleams with a
25
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:59.079
bluish tint. Nearby, the Virgo Cluster holds thousands of galaxies
26
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:03.640
in visible to the eye but awe inspiring to contemplate.
