Enlarge / The Orion spacecraft approaches the Moon on Monday. (credit: NASA) So far, NASA's ambitious Artemis I mission seems to be going swimmingly. The Orion spacecraft has performed a number of propulsive burns, flying smoothly past the Moon, and will now test out its capabilities in deep space. On Monday evening, after flying around the Moon, the spacecraft returned images of the flyby back to Earth via the Deep Space Network.
