Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen took turns controlling the spacecraft to test its performance in deep space starting at 9:09 p.m. EDT on Saturday (April 4). For 41 minutes, the pair tested two different thruster modes, six degrees of freedom and three degrees of freedom, to provide engineers with more data about the spacecraft's piloting capabilities. Commander Reid Wiseman and Pilot Victor Glover are scheduled to repeat the demo on flight day 8 – Wednesday, April 9 – to give the teams on the ground as many perspectives on the spacecraft as possible. Over the course of the day, the crew also reviewed a list sent by the lunar science team of surface features on the moon that they will photograph and analyze during their six-hour flyby on Monday (April 6). The flyby period begins at 2:45 p.m. EDT, when Integrity's main cabin windows will be pointed toward the moon. Earlier in the day, the astronauts took some crew selfies using one of the solar array wing cameras. The images should be sent to the ground in the coming days. The crew went to sleep for the night at 3:15 a.m.; Mission Control will wake them to begin flight day 5 at noon on Sunday.</blockquote> <center><iframe width="400" height="225" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/UEJV1XLEXP0" title="Artemis II Flight Day 4 Highlights" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></center>[/B][/QUOTE]
