The Commune of Artemis II, the surprise that has shaken the mission of returning to the moon
The crew detected a failure in the Orion wreck system, but the problem was solved, hours after takeoff, without endangering the mission.
The mission will bring man back to lunar orbit.
Artemis II is on its way to the lunar orbit, resolved by the accident at takeoff, including the problem with theOrion ship's toilet, which was detected shortly after takeoff, when a warning light alerted the crew.
NASAhas reported that the error was related to the controller of the waste management system, a key device.
This is the first deep space mission with a fully functional toilet. Unlike the historical missions of the A0Apolo program, astronauts had to use bags.
The Universal Waste Management System is integrated into the capsule with a microgravity design on the floor next to the hatch, a novelty designed to make long-lasting space travel more habitable and comfortable.
Hours after the incident, NASA itself confirmed that the crew had managed to restore the normal functioning of the system.
Thus Artemis II is on his way to theMoon, which will last approximately ten days, and will bring man back into the orbit of the Moon, half a century after the Apollo 17 mission.
