As Artemis II astronauts travelled behind the Moon, they lost contact with Earth for about 40 minutes.

The communications blackout had been expected as the spacecraft signals were blocked by the Moon. Nasa says the crew flew to the furthest point from Earth during the blackout at 252,756 miles (406,771km).

Once contact was regained, astronaut Christina Koch said: “It is so great to hear from Earth again.”
