NASA's Artemis One Website

NASA has a new website that's keeping track of its Artemis One mission.

The giant moon rocket blasted off early Wednesday with an Orion capsule carrying three test dummies.

The Artemis Real-time Orbit Website, or AROW for short, gives the elapsed time of the mission, the velocity of the spacecraft, its distance from Earth and its distance to the moon. It also shows the trajectory of the flight and different views of the mission from multiple angles.

The data for the website is being generated from Johnson Space Center by a group called Flight Dynamics Operations.

The 26-day mission is progressing as planned. Tomorrow, Sunday November 21, is a milestone as the capsule flies 60 miles above the moon's surface and uses the moon's gravity to slingshot back toward earth.

Splashdown is December 11 off the coast of Southern California.
