Summary

art001m1203360353 (Dec. 2, 2022) On flight day 17 of the Artemis I mission, Orion conducted the first return trajectory correction burn, changing the spacecraft’s velocity by 0.48 feet per second (.3 miles per hour), as it continues its journey home. The amount of speed change determines which of Orion’s service module engines – reaction control, auxiliary, or orbital maneuvering system – are used for a particular maneuver.
