Artemis starts final run-up to lunar slingshot: NASA livestream

NASA's Artemis mission has reached a critical milestone as the spacecraft transitions into the Moon's gravitational sphere of influence. This pivotal moment marks the beginning of the lunar approach phase, where lunar gravity now exerts greater force than Earth's pull on the vehicle. The astronauts are executing precision maneuvers to achieve a lunar flyby trajectory. This phase represents a significant step toward successful lunar orbit insertion and marks progress toward humanity's return to the Moon.
