Relive the Artemis 1 launch as the Orion spacecraft returns

As Orion closes the gap between the moon and Earth ahead of its Pacific Ocean splashdown on Sunday (Dec. 11), we’re looking back at the epic launch that got us here. 

Tensions were high in the hours leading up to last month’s Artemis 1 launch. Spectators began gathering at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center (KSC) and across Florida’s Space Coast early in the evening of Nov. 15 in anticipation of the late-night launch attempt, and a few off-nominal occurrences during countdown spurred some doubts about whether the rocket would get off the ground at all.
