Artemis I
Definition
Artemis I was the inaugural uncrewed test flight of NASA's Artemis program, launching the Orion spacecraft and Space Launch System (SLS) rocket on November 16, 2022, to orbit the Moon and validate deep-space capabilities.
The mission marked a pivotal step toward NASA's goal of returning humans to the Moon, successfully splashing down after 25 days without a single coffee break for the robots aboard.
