Good acquisition of first RF signals from Artemis-II! 📡 〰️ 🚀🛰️🌖 (thread) 📷 The image shows Orion's s-band downlink signal as received by one of our tracking stations in Europe early this morning. It shows the moment when Orion transitioned from NASA's Near Space Network to the Deep Space Network. 📡🤝📡
