The dream of exploring deep space is one step closer to realization. NASA's Artemis Gateway lunar base has taken its first step toward completion.
NASA's CAPSTONE spacecraft is now traveling to the moon following its separation with Rocket Labs' Proton spacecraft bus in Earth's orbit.
NASA's CAPSTONE (Cislunar Autonomous Positioning System Technology Operations and Navigation Experiment) is all set to become the first spacecraft to fly a specific unique lunar orbit. The tiny CubeSat, which is approximately the size of a microwave oven, will serve as a pathfinder for other future missions to the moon with the crew. Rocket Lab took to Twitter to announce that it has delayed the launch of CAPSTONE by a single day and is now targeting June 28 for it.
NASA has announced another delay to its CAPSTONE mission to provide Rocket Labs the time to perform final systems checks on its Electron Booster.
