The Artemis 1 mission has successfully arrived at the Moon. The Orion capsule glided to 130km above the lunar surface at 7:57 am ET (6:27 pm IST) today. The space vehicle lost contact for a brief moment while making this maneuver. To recall, the Orion spacecraft and SLS (Space Launch System) rocket took off from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on November 16.
