The Orion spacecraft for NASA’s Artemis I mission has successfully completed several months of simulated space environment System level testing in the NASA-owned thermal vacuum chamber at Plum Brook Station in Ohio, USA.
The testing phase was split into two phases - a 47 day thermal vacuum test and a 14 day electromagnetic compatibility, followed by an interference test in ambient conditions which both simulate the conditions the spacecraft will encounter during its voyage to the Moon and back to Earth.
‘Today marked an important milestone for the Artemis I mission to the Moon,’ said Airbus Head of Space Exploration, Andreas Hammer.
‘We proved to our customers ESA and NASA that the European Service Module, designed and built by our engineers in Bremen – supported by companies in 10 European countries - meets the requirements to withstand the harsh conditions in space.
‘The Artemis programme will land the first woman and next man on the Moon and bring them back safely to Earth, we are proud to contribute to this endeavour with all our know-how, expertise and passion.’
Pleased with the results of this crucial test, the engineering teams from Airbus, the European Space Agency (ESA), Lockheed Martin and NASA have proved the spacecraft is suitable to navigate safely through the extreme conditions that it will experience in space.
Orion will be transported back to the Kennedy Space Center to undergo further testing and prepare the spacecraft for integration with the Space Launch System rocket, beginning the next era of exploration.
Artemis I will travel around the Moon and back to Earth. Airbus in Bremen is already building the second Orion Service Module for Artemis II, where

It’s been a while since the last post, so here’s the fresh one - just a couple of astronauts exploring Mars in their mighty rover.

Lately I’ve decided to make a quick remake of one of the very first pieces that started my Space That Never Was project (I think you can guess which one ;)), a bit over 4 years ago.
You can get a print of this piece on my society6 print shop, also you can follow me on various social media:

We have lingered long enough on the shores of the cosmic ocean. We are ready at last to set sail for the stars.

Happy Space Day Astronauts
Day 17: Collide
My space loving self wanted to do 2 planets colliding, but when you google ‘collide’ there are instantly 3 pics that show exactly that. Had to think a bit more on that one.

Looks like this one is all done!!!
Will have print really soon so keep your eyes open for that!
