Last stop before launch‼️ 🌕 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The Orion spacecraft that will fly on the Artemis 1 mission around the Moon has returned to @nasakennedy in Florida, USA, after finishing space environment tests. The spacecraft, including our European Service Module, is now at its final destination before launch. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The tests are not completely over for Orion, at Kennedy Space Center the crew module will be further prepared and more leak tests conducted. The European Service Module has tanks for fuel, oxygen and water that are critical for the astronauts. The gas tanks are pressurised and are connected to many pipes and valves, so it vital to make sure there are no leaks. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The solar wings that generate power during its mission will be installed, as well as protective covers called the Spacecraft Adapter Jettisoned fairings for the intense moments of launch on the world’s most powerful rocket. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Go to esa.int to learn more. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📸 @NASA–Nicole Smith 📸 @europeanspaceagency-S.
