Artemis II flight director issues update on grim unexpected malfunction

Artemis II flight director Rick Henfling has shared an update on the malfunction that was noticed by crew just moments after lift off last week.

The crew of the Orion spacecraft embarked on a historical voyage last Wednesday, April 1, when they blasted off from Florida to make a journey around the moon.

Astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen made history when they became the humans to have flown furthest from the earth’s surface.

On Tuesday, April 7 they completed a flyby of the moon, passing by its far side and losing contact with Mission Control in Houston, Texas for 40 minutes.
