Their mission will fly them out of Earth orbit toward the moon, which Orion will slingshot around and then come back home.

“The Orion spacecraft completion for Artemis 2 is a major step forward in our nation’s efforts to develop a long-term lunar presence,” Kirk Shireman, Lockheed Martin’s vice president of Human Space Exploration, said in the statement.
