Far from Earth, nearly 250,000 miles into space, the Artemis II crew shared a deeply personal moment, proposing to name a Moon crater after Commander Reid Wiseman’s late wife.
The launch of Artemis II is being celebrated as a technological milestone, but its deeper significance lies elsewhere.
To determine the size of the ring particles, UVIS observed them when the instrument was pointed at the Sun, looking through the rings in what is known as a solar occultation.
The Crew-4 mission launched at 3:52 a.m. EDT on April 27 on a Falcon 9 rocket from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Less than 16 hours later, Dragon docked to the Harmony module's space-facing port.
The Trojan asteroids are trapped in orbits around the Sun at the same distance as Jupiter, either far ahead of or behind the giant planet.
Before its encounter, NASA had defined a minimum successful orbit period change of Dimorphos as change of 73 seconds or more. This early data show DART surpassed this minimum benchmark by more than 25 times.
Hubble has been operating since 1990, about 540 kms above Earth in an orbit that is slowly decaying over time.
