    With the help of SLS rocket, the spacecraft performs trans-lunar injection. The mission will send 10 cubesat sattelite. Then Orion spacecraft enters into distant retrograde orbit for six days.It is estimated that it will have 26-42 days of total mission days. On return to earth, the spacecraft is shielded by its protecting heat shield and reached in Pacific Ocean as planned.

    Mission Goal

    This mission have a great determination for the future Artemis mission 2 and Artemis-3 which has the target to crewed mission to the moon.
