NASA has approved a translunar injection burn for the Artemis II crew following the launch of its Artemis II rocket, which will provide 6,000 pounds of thrust during the nearly six-minute burn. The decision was made after a meeting with NASA leaders in Houston to discuss the procedure. The crew's schedule includes two rest periods and two rest songs for the burn.
