Artemis II lifts off from LC-39B at Kennedy Space Center

ICPS perigee raise burn 1 raises the low point of the parking orbit

ICPS perigee raise burn 2 inserts Orion into high-Earth orbit

ICPS becomes docking target; crew practices manual flying

Orion upper stage separation burn

Engine firing to correct orbital geometry for TLI

TLI burn sends Orion toward the Moon at ~40,000 km/h

Outbound trajectory correction burn 1 (cancelled — trajectory was nominal)

Outbound trajectory correction burn 2 (cancelled — trajectory was nominal)

Final outbound mid-course correction — 9.9 ft/s, 17.5 second burn

Orion enters the lunar sphere of influence

NASA begins live coverage of the lunar flyby

Artemis II surpasses Apollo 13 distance record

Loss of signal — Orion behind the Moon

Closest approach — 6,545 km (4,067 mi) above the lunar surface

Maximum distance from Earth — 406,770 km (252,756 mi)

Signal reacquired — Earthrise

Orion observes a solar eclipse from behind the Moon

Orion exits the lunar sphere of influence on return trajectory

First return trajectory correction burn — 0.4 m/s

Second return trajectory correction burn — 1.6 m/s

Third return trajectory correction burn — 1.3 m/s

Service module jettisoned before atmospheric entry

Crew module raise burn to establish proper entry attitude — 3.0 m/s

Orion hits Earth's atmosphere at ~40,000 km/h

Drogue parachutes deploy to stabilize the crew module

Three main parachutes deploy — slowing Orion to ~20 mph
