DYK - #CAPSTONE is in an #NRHO (Near Rectilinear Halo Orbit) at the #Moon, but #Orion is actually in a #DRO - a Distant Retrograde Orbit. While both orbits are #cislunar, DROs are planar orbits and NRHOs have significant motion out of the Moon's orbital plane. https://twitter.com/george_sowers/status/1594721935266820102

TOMORROW, #CAPSTONE will execute an #NRHO Insertion Maneuver. NIM & the subsequent correction maneuvers ensure that CAPSTONE accurately inserts onto the NRHO. Without NIM, or with a poorly executed NIM, CAPSTONE will fly by the Moon without entering into orbit.
