3:19Now PlayingWatch and listen to the moment NASA mission control loses contact with the crew of Artemis II as they fly around the moon.
Mission Control and Artemis II are expected to lose communication for about 40 minutes, as the moon blocks radio signals, NASA said.
Artemis I and the Apollo missions experienced similar communication blackouts.
Once Orion emerges on the other side of the moon, the Deep Space Network is expected to reconnect with Orion, Artemis II, and Mission Control.
RECORD-SETTING SPACE FLIGHT:
During the lunar flyby on Monday, the Artemis II crew eclipsed Apollo's record for farthest human spaceflight.
At 1:57 p.m. on Monday, April 6, Artemis II's astronauts aboard the Orion spacecraft, traveled more than 248,655 miles from Earth, breaking the previous record set by the historic Apollo 13 mission in 1970.
The Artemis II crew is expected to reach a maximum distance of 252,752 miles from Earth as it conducts a flyby of the moon – the pivotal part of its 10-day lunar mission.
NASA has tasked the Artemis II with observing, photographing, and analyzing some 30 features on the moon's surface.
