Artemis II Crew Enters “Loss of Signal” On the Far Side of the Moon
On April 6, NASA’s Artemis II crew will experience a communications blackout lasting roughly 40 minutes as the Orion spacecraft traverses the Moon’s far side. The loss of signal is scheduled to begin at 6:44 PM EDT and will end when Orion re‑emerges into line‑of‑sight with Earth. This event marks the first crewed deep‑space communication gap for the Artemis program and will test critical navigation and telemetry systems. Successful re‑acquisition of signal will validate NASA’s capabilities for future lunar surface missions.
