The spacecraft is farther into space than any vehicle designed for human flight.

NASA has a new record holder for distance from Earth. Space writes about it.

The Orion spacecraft is currently orbiting the Moon. It broke the previous Earth distance record set by the Apollo 13 mission spacecraft in 1970.

Orion was launched to the Moon as part of the Artemis 1 mission. On November 26, 2022, it flew further into space from Earth than any other ground vehicle. He is at a distance of 401,798 km from the earth.

Recall that the spacecraft was launched on November 16 by a Space Launch System super-heavy launch vehicle as part of the Artemis 1 mission from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

The Orion spacecraft orbits the Moon at its lowest altitude.
