SANDUSKY, Ohio (WJW) - NASA's Artemis I Orion spacecraft is taking a trip through Northeast Ohio before its mission around the moon.<\/p>\n
NASA's Super Guppy aircraft delivered the space capsule Sunday at Mansfield Lahm Airport.<\/p>\n
Tuesday, the spacecraft will travel on a flatbed trailer to NASA's Plum Brook Station.<\/p>\n
There, it will undergo testing that will imitate the extreme conditions it will face in space.<\/p>\n
According to NASA, that will mean putting the spacecraft in extreme temperatures, ranging from -250 to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.<\/p>\n
NASA says that will replicate flying in-and-out of sunlight and shadow in space.<\/p>\n
The second phase will test the spacecraft's electronics with electromagnetic interference.<\/p>\n
According to NASA, the testing will take about 2 weeks.<\/p>\n
Orion will then return to NASA's Kennedy Space Center.<\/p>\n
There, NASA will begin prepping Orion for the Artemis I mission.<\/p>\n
The goal of the mission is to enable human exploration to the Moon and Mars.<\/p>\n
