一年前，美国东部时间2022年11月16日凌晨1点47分，一枚太空发射系统火箭携带猎户座飞船离开地球，执行阿尔忒弥斯1号任务，这是美国宇航局深空探测系统的首次综合测试。从肯尼迪航天中心历史悠久的39B号发射场发射升空一个多小时后，猎户座的一个外部摄像机从太空中捕捉到了这张新视角的照片。前景是猎户座的轨道机动系统引擎和辅助引擎，在欧洲服务舱的底部。在太空舱7米长的太阳能电池阵列机翼外，是宇宙飞船美丽的家园。无人驾驶的阿尔忒弥斯1号在月球表面近距离飞行，到达距离月球7万公里的逆行轨道，持续了25天以上，测试了人类探索月球和火星的能力。在阿尔忒弥斯1号成功的基础上，不早于2024年11月，载有4名机组人员的阿尔忒弥斯2号任务将环绕月球并再次返回。

One year ago a Space Launch System rocket left planet Earth on November 16, 2022 at 1:47am EST carrying the Orion spacecraft on the Artemis I mission, the first integrated test of NASA’s deep space exploration systems. Over an hour after liftoff from Kennedy Space Center's historic Launch Complex 39B, one of Orion's external video cameras captured this view of its new perspective from space. In the foreground are Orion's Orbital Maneuvering System engine and auxillary engines, at the bottom of the European Service Module. Beyond one of the module's 7-meter long extended solar array wings lies the spacecraft's beautiful home world. Making close flybys of the lunar surface and reaching a retrograde orbit 70,000 kilometers beyond the Moon, the uncrewed Artemis I mission lasted over 25 days, testing capabilities to enable human exploration of the Moon and Mars. Building on the success of Artemis I, no earlier than November 2024 the Artemis II mission with a crew of 4 will venture around the Moon and back again.
