00:00El 1 de abril del 2026 el lanzamiento de Artemis 2 marcó un momento histórico, el regreso de astronautas a
00:08una misión alrededor de la Luna por primera vez desde la era de Apolo.
00:13Un paso clave en el camino para volver a pisar nuestro satélite, pero esta historia comenzó antes, con Artemis 1,
00:21la misión no tripulada que puso a prueba cada sistema.
00:24En este video te llevamos paso a paso por su lanzamiento, el inicio de una nueva era en la exploración
00:31lunar.
01:06On November 16, 2022, NASA's Artemis 1 mission began a new era of spaceflight,
01:15testing systems that will take humans back to the moon and beyond.
01:24The space launch system built for Artemis 1 is the most powerful rocket in the world.
01:31Just how big is it?
01:33The Artemis rocket system reaches a height of 322 feet.
01:38That's taller than the Statue of Liberty, and it weighs an astounding 5.75 million pounds.
01:46That's like launching the weight of 450 elephants into space.
01:54It takes a powerful system of engines and boosters to get this massive rocket into the air
02:00and to propel the Orion capsule all the way to the moon.
02:07Two solid rocket boosters burn about 6 tons of solid propellant each second
02:12to help lift the rocket off the launch pad.
02:19Assisting the boosters are four engines at the base of the core stage,
02:24which burn up more than 1,500 gallons of liquid propellant each second.
02:37The launch abort system is a protection system for the crew during launch.
02:43The Orion crew module is where astronauts will go in future missions.
02:47Artemis 1 is an uncrewed test, meaning no humans are on board this time.
02:53The service module contains Orion's propulsion system,
02:56a single engine that will provide the spacecraft almost 25,000 pounds of thrust
03:01as it sends the spacecraft to the moon.
03:07Liftoff happens once the core stage engines start and the solid rocket boosters ignite.
03:16The rocket rapidly gains speed as it lights up the sky.
03:20And here we go.
03:22Hydrogen burn off igniters initiated.
03:24Seven, six, five, four stage engines start.
03:29Three, two, one, boosters in ignition.
03:33And liftoff of Artemis 1, we rise together back to the moon and beyond.
03:40And liftoff of Artemis 1, we rise together back to the moon and beyond.
04:01About two minutes into the flight, the rocket releases the two solid rocket boosters.
04:06Standing by for solid rocket boosters jettison and shortly thereafter.
04:16Their job is complete.
04:19Confirmation that the solid rocket boosters have separated.
04:22Shortly after, the launch abort system is released from the top of the crew module.
04:29The core stage and its engines continue to propel the spacecraft to over 17,000 miles per hour.
04:36And then they, too, separate.
04:40With a final push, the single engine of the interim cryogenic propulsion stage thrusts Orion
04:46onto the moon.
04:48The propulsion stage separates two hours into the flight, leaving Orion on its own for the remaining journey.
04:57It took Orion several days to get to the moon, where it remained in a distant orbit for almost a
05:03week.
05:08Then the spacecraft began its long journey home to Earth, where it faces the final test of the mission, re
05:16-entering Earth's atmosphere.
05:19Orion returns to the planet traveling 25,000 miles per hour, enduring temperatures nearly 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
05:27A series of parachutes deployed to bring its speed down to close to 20 miles per hour, so it can
05:33safely splash down into the Pacific Ocean.
05:39Artemis 1 was a historic step in sending humans back to the moon and beyond, taking the Artemis generation further
05:51than ever before.
