The Artemis I mission is an uncrewed flight test of the Orion spacecraft, placing a human-rated
00:10
crew vehicle into lunar orbit for the first time since the Apollo missions.
00:16
The mission will showcase the capabilities of both Orion and the Space Launch System,
00:21
or SLS, NASA's powerful new rocket.
00:25
Communication services for the Artemis I mission are provided by NASA's two major networks,
00:30
the Near Space Network and the Deep Space Network.
00:33
For Artemis I launch, the Near Space Network's Launch Communication Segment provides critical
00:39
links with SLS and Orion.
00:41
The network's Constellation of Tracking and Data Relay Satellites, or TDRS, provides near-continuous
00:48
communication services to the mission during ascent and low-Earth orbit.
00:53
As Artemis I journeys to the Moon, the Deep Space Network acts as the mission's primary
00:57
service provider beyond low-Earth orbit, with the Near Space Network providing supplemental
01:02
navigation data.
01:03
The Deep Space Network will maintain communications with Orion while in distant, retrograde orbit
01:08
around the Moon.
01:09
The network will also help facilitate communications for all of the mission's CubeSat deployment
01:15
stops.
01:16
Returning to Earth, Orion will receive communications support from the Deep Space Network, with
01:21
assistance from the Near Space Network's TDRS Constellation.
01:25
TDRS will be integral to communications during re-entry and splashdown, with NASA Search
01:30
and Rescue technology standing by in case of contingencies.
01:34
Artemis I will begin a new era of lunar exploration, supported by NASA space communications and
01:41
navigation innovation.
01:43
NASA's networks are empowering our sustained return to the Moon as we set our sights on
