The spacecraft arrived at its closest approach to the Moon the following day, November 21, 2022, coming within 80 miles of the lunar surface. Artemis I, the first spaceflight in NASA's Artemis program, successfully launched from Kennedy Space Center on November 16 on a planned 25-day mission. NASA/UPI
