Artemis I will restore America's
ability to reach the Moon with systems
built for humans.
Launching east from Kennedy Space Center,
the Space Launch System will propel an
uncrewed Orion spacecraft to orbit and
then commit to a lunar trajectory with a
translunar injection. This outbound coast
will intersect with the Moon to enter a
distant retrograde orbit. With systems
check, the engine will once again fire to
exit lunar orbit and set Orion on a
path back to Earth.
