  • launched from Kennedy Space Center Launch Complex 39B — Artemis vehicles fly from Launch Complex 39B, rebuilt as a clean pad; 39A is leased to SpaceX and is not part of the Artemis ground system.
  • first flight of Space Launch System (SLS) — Artemis I was the maiden flight of the Space Launch System, uncrewed, in November 2022.
  • qualified Orion (Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle) — The flight proved Orion's translunar navigation and lunar-return re-entry, and exposed the heat shield char-loss problem that shaped the Artemis II entry profile.

865 objects have no place. See why, and how they relate instead — a coordinate they do not have would be a claim, not a kindness. The count is corpus-wide; no lens or window changes it.One more object is located but its mark is withheld: the coordinate is declared, not yet verified, and an unverified pin reads as a fact.
