Detailed explanation-1: -As last reported, Orion was 268, 457 miles away from the Earth and 43, 138 miles from the Moon, cruising at 1, 679 miles per hour.
Detailed explanation-2: -That orbit will place Orion on a path to break the record for the farthest distance from Earth traveled by “a spacecraft designed to carry humans to deep space and safely return to Earth.” The current record of 248, 655 miles was set by Apollo 13 in 1970, NASA said in a statement.
Detailed explanation-3: -At its farthest distance during the mission, Orion traveled nearly 270, 000 miles from our home planet, more than 1, 000 times farther than where the International Space Station orbits Earth, to intentionally stress systems before flying crew.
Detailed explanation-4: -Capable of supporting a crew of six beyond low Earth orbit, Orion can last up to 21 days undocked and up to six months docked.
Detailed explanation-5: -Monday afternoon, the Orion capsule reached a point in its “distant retrograde orbit” around the moon some 268, 562 miles from Earth-nearly 43, 000 miles above the lunar surface-setting a new distance record for a human-rated spacecraft.
