The Incredible Journey of Artemis 1

Artemis 1, officially known as Artemis I, was an uncrewed mission around the moon. This is the first integrated test flight of the Orion spacecraft and the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket.

Artemis 1 started the same way as other spacecraft left Earth. However, the way it approaches the moon is different from Apollo 8. Artemis 1 took an unbelievable orbit. It jumped in front of the moon, fell behind, and was then thrown back to Earth. This long detour took Artemis I 26 days. Meanwhile, Apollo 8 took only six days to complete with a much simpler route.
Why did Artemis take this long, crazy journey to the moon? Watch the video for the answer.

Artemis I Facts:
Launch date: Nov. 16, 2022
Mission duration: 25 days, 10 hours, 53 minutes
Total distance traveled: 1.3 miIlion miles
Re-entry speed: 24,500 mph (Mach 32)

Artemis I is the first step in a series of missions to build a long-term human presence on the moon.
The primary goals of Artemis I is to demonstrate Orion’s system and ensure safe and successful re-entry and recovery of the fight crew on Artemis II

Theories mentioned in the video:
Delta V: The Delta-V (Δv) notation is commonly used in mathematics and physics to denote a change in velocity. In the case of motor vehicles, (Δv) refers to the difference between the trajectories of a vehicle following a pre-collision and those following a post-collision.

The Oberth Effect: The Oberth effect is a factor that contributes to the efficiency of a reaction engine. It states that higher speeds lead to a greater mechanical energy change.
