NASA thus brings man back into lunar orbit for the first time since December 1972, but not only that: there will be 40 minutes without communications with Eartha free reentry trajectory and the most extreme atmospheric re-entry ever attempted in human flight.
The mission could then move forward farthest from Earth than any human crew has ever done. Once it arrives around the Moon, in fact, the shuttle will also pass on the hidden side of the satellitetaking advantage of that trajectory to get the boost needed for the return journey. It will take another three days to get home.
Today, April 6th, let’s not miss the appointment with history! At 7.00pm Italian time NASA’s live broadcast will start, showing us in streaming an event that has been awaited for 54 years.
Don’t miss it!
