"So here we have it: Reid, Victor, Christina and Jeremy," Nelson told a packed hangar at Ellington Field near the Johnson Space Center in Houston. He will be the ninth Canadian to fly in space and the first to venture beyond Earth orbit.Ī Canadian seat on the historic mission acknowledges Canada's development of the robot arm that was key to assembling the International Space Station and the ongoing development of another arm for NASA's planned Gateway lunar orbit outpost Hansen, a 47-year-old colonel in the Canadian armed forces and father of three, is a veteran F-18 fighter pilot. NASA Administrator Bill Nelson introduces the Artemis II crew to a throng of family members, fellow astronauts, NASA managers, engineers and the media in a hangar at Ellington Field near the Johnson Space Center in Houston. Glover is a veteran test pilot with more than 3,000 hours of flight time and more than 400 carrier landings. He launched to the station aboard the first operational SpaceX Crew Dragon mission in 2021-22, logging 168 days in orbit. Glover, 46, is a Navy captain, a father of four and one of only a half dozen African Americans in NASA's astronaut corps. With 42 hours and 15 minutes of EVA time, she ranks third on the list of most experienced female spacewalkers.

She also launched aboard a Soyuz and spent nearly a full year aboard the lab in 2019-20, venturing outside for six spacewalks, including three all-female excursions. In 2 days on at 17:34 in ♏ Scorpio the Moon is going to be in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.Koch, 44, holds a master's in electrical engineering who has experience in Antarctic research.
Previous standstill | Next standstill Syzygy in 2 days Previous | Current draconic month | Next Moon before southern standstillĨ days since the previous standstill on 25 April 2023 at 05:53 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠27.957°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 5 days to face maximum declination of ∠-27.937° at the point of next southern standstill on at 09:01 in ♑ Capricorn. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following day, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on at 21:57 in ♎ Libra.ġ3 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♉ Taurus, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
Moon before descending nodeġ3 days after ascending node on 20 April 2023 at 11:32 in ♉ Taurus. The Moon is 393 131 km ( 244 280 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 7 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 369 345 km ( 229 500 mi). Previous apogee | Next perigee Distance to Moon 393 131 km It will keep this direction over the next 7 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on at 04:57 in ♒ Aquarius. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. Moon after apogeeĥ days after point of apogee on 28 April 2023 at 06:43 in ♌ Leo. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠92.6°. It is 5 hours and 6 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.Īt the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠59.2°. The length of the current synodic month is 1 hour and 3 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee ( ∠180°). It is 1 hour and 3 minutes shorter than the next lunation's length. The length of the lunation is 29 days, 11 hours and 41 minutes. Previous | Current lunation | Next Synodic month length 29.49 days This is lunation 288 of Meeus index or 1241 from Brown series. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the first to the middle part of current synodic month.
Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at big angle, so their combined tidal force is weak.
