NASA's CAPSTONE: Flying a New Path to the Moon

The Cislunar Autonomous Positioning System Technology Operations and Navigation Experiment, or CAPSTONE, is a CubeSat that will fly a unique orbit around the Moon intended for NASA’s future Artemis lunar outpost Gateway. Its six-month mission will help launch a new era of space exploration.

Love that NASA cooperates with Rocket Lab to fly to the moon.

[@timwidner8751]

Gotta love RKLB!

Congratulations to the Capstone team of Rocket Lab, Advanced Space, Terran Orbital, Stellar Exploration and NASA for getting the mission successfully on its way to the moon!

Amazing 👏

The start of a new era! launched here in NZ🇳🇿🚀

Like ISRO has done for the Mars mission??

[@Jayc5001]

Cool!

I am glad to see this. Why does it seem like we are afraid to go to the moon. I mean, we've been there before, why not JUST GO AGAIN? I just think its weird that we have to do all this, when we can send another team with buggies, and work in conjunction with the CAPSTONE.

[@miguelarias2260]

Brilliant!!!
You guys still need a space suit to complete future mission parameters. Call SpaceX. They may be able to help...

It's not heading into 'deep space'. The only known spacecraft to travel into deep space (also known as interstellar space) are the Voyager spacecraft.

[@rosstaylor1137]

Anything beyond GEO orbit is typically considered a "Deep space" mission by aerospace engineers. It is a mission far beyond what a vast majority of spacecrafts have ever performed.

I challenge NASA to publish a video of the moon when it zooms in and sees the dust of the moon The moon is not dust, it is a solid mass of rock

[@EARXHEART]

There’s dust in the original Apollo footage 🤷🏼‍♀️

No, I'm asking for a zoom from NASA that shows the reality of the moon's soil, I mean a minute zoom that shows the dust of the moon's dust through the Hubble telescope

I don't expect you to have knowledge on how telescopes work
