NASA’s Artemis 1’s uncrewed Orion capsule has been cruising toward the moon since Wednesday morning (Nov. 16), when it launched atop NASA’s gigantic Space Launch System (SLS) rocket. 

Orion will finally reach the moon on Monday morning, skimming just 130 kilometers or so above the lunar surface at 7:44am , if all goes according to plan. During that close approach, the capsule will fire its main engine in a “powered flyby burn,” which will set it on course to enter lunar orbit four days later.
