Orion Integrity slips behind the moon
Their Orion spacecraft, called Integrity, will slip behind the moon at 6:47pm meaning a short blackout with no contact back home.
It will hit its farthest point from Earth at nearly 407163km and give the crew a front-row seat to a solar eclipse as the moon blocks out the sun.
Even with some technical hiccups on board, NASA engineers are working hard to keep things running smoothly for astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen.
