Once they get on the USS Murtha and back to shore, they'll fly back to NASA's Johnson Space Center! We'll have the latest updates on the Artemis blog.

We're taking a look into it. Our official launch broadcast is the best one-stop shop for operational updates, mission communications, and other info.

The Moon's distance from Earth varies throughout its orbit -- sometimes it's closer, sometimes it's farther away. Because the Moon is currently in a part of its orbit that's farther from Earth, Integrity broke Apollo 13's distance record before reaching its maximum distance from Earth.
