Your Reply: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	[QUOTE]Originally posted by Robert Pearlman: [B]NASA release <blockquote><font size="+0">[b]'Go' for Translunar Injection Burn[/b]</font> NASA's Artemis II mission management team polled "Go" for the translunar injection burn to send the crew in the Orion spacecraft toward the moon and send humans around Earth's closest celestial neighbor for the first time since Apollo 17 in 1972. The spacecraft will ignite its main engine on the service module for five minutes and 49 seconds beginning at 7:49 p.m. EDT. Orion's main engine, a modified space shuttle-flown OMS engine mounted to the European Service Module, provides up to 6,000 pounds of thrust, enough to accelerate a car from 0 to 60 mph in about 2.7 seconds. NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch and CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen began their day at 2:35 p.m. EDT with the playing of "Green Light," by John Legend and Andre 3000 by the mission control team. The crew members are preparing for the burn and will conduct their first exercise sessions on the spacecraft's flywheel device, a tool devised for maintaining fitness during long‑duration missions.</blockquote>[/B][/QUOTE]
