We have ignition of the second burn by ICPS-2! This will be an 18-minute engine firing to lift Orion's orbit to 43,730 miles above Earth. [Render not photo]

ICPS-2 successfully boosted Orion and its four-person crew into a high Earth orbit. This is where the astronauts will orbit for the next day to ensure Orion’s systems are working as expected while still close to home.
United Launch Alliance, under a collaborative partnership with Boeing, built the Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage (ICPS) upper stage of the SLS rocket.

Artemis II is now connected to the Deep Space Network. The vehicle is currently ~40 times further away from Earth than the International Space Station.Source: @TJ_Cooney
Human voices are now using the deep space network for the first time in 54 years

Orion is ready to roll!
During the proximity operations demonstration, Pilot Victor Glover will command Orion to maneuver near the Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage, helping teams prepare for future missions when Orion will dock with another spacecraft.
Glover will report the spacecraft’s roll, pitch, and yaw – the side-to-side tilt, up-and-down, and left-to-right movements of the spacecraft.🌐 Watch live

We have ICPS-2 separation from Orion! The spacecraft is traveling on its own now and will soon use the spent rocket stage as a target to perform a series of rendezvous and proximity operations demonstrations.
