Artemis II is in Orbit - What Happens Next?

Nasa's Artemis II rocket has launched.

This mission is very important for Nasa and the US.

There are simple questions: Will the toilet work? When can the crew sleep?

Here's what will happen in the next 24 hours.

The astronauts are now in orbit around Earth, testing the Orion spacecraft.

The spacecraft's solar wings are working, giving it power.

The spacecraft is being tested by the crew to make sure it's safe.

Nasa wants to be sure the spacecraft is ready for deep space.

They're testing life support systems and have special suits in case of emergencies.

We can watch the mission on Nasa's livestream.

Cameras show the astronauts working and using their phones.

The crew slept for the first time onboard.

The crew asked for their sleep clothes before sleeping.

Schedules in space are very strict.

The crew sleeps for four hours at a time.

Sleeping in space can be hard, but some astronauts sleep well.

Others struggle to sleep in space.

The crew must exercise to stay healthy.

Two astronauts exercised using a special device.

The other two will exercise later.

The crew has eaten their first meals.

The food is freeze-dried and made with water from the spacecraft.

The crew chose their meals in advance.

They can have two drinks a day, including coffee.

The toilet is working, which is very important.

The crew was told how to fix the toilet and use it safely.

Today, the spacecraft will do a big burn to go to the Moon.

If there's a problem, it might be postponed or cancelled.

A cancellation would be a big setback for Nasa.

The burn will send the spacecraft to the Moon and back to Earth.

The spacecraft will fly far beyond the Moon.

The astronauts will see the far side of the Moon and take pictures.

They will learn about this part of the Moon and share it with us.
