Thanks!!! The telementry data is very helpful. I was bummed the launch didn't include that. Guess I am spoiled by Space X launches.
That bothered me as well. Like, why not include it? Also the timeline was shitty as well, it just jumped from one event to the next instead of giving you some sort of progression and feel when things are going to happen.
They had some problems with their camera feeds during launch. But I agree that they also missed out on telemetry and the quality of coverage lacked in comparison to the other new space companies. I really hope the next launch will have more polish on it… better coverage and telemetry
Interesting to notice that the distance from earth is increasing faster than the distance to the moon is decreasing.
That's because Orion is travelling to where the moon is going to be, not where the moon currently is.
As can be seen in this video of this tool
The moon is trying to run away. Understandable, given it's been looking at what we do on earth.

It also has to swing way out in order to turn and catch up with the Moon. Fascinating the trajectory involved with getting it there!
It’s sort of what you are looking for. I believe they put up a diagram from time to time showing prox earth/moon but there isn’t really a way to show exact location.

That's an interactive one
Yeah it sucks and doesn't work at all. Just get a slow rotation of the earth when I access it. On two different computers.
Its just like SLS, you have to wait, then wait, then wait some more and it will finally start working. (I wish I were joking)
Does it actually work if you wait long enough?
Kinda..? It's laggy as hell but you can get some intel, the position of Orion and 3D renders of the capsle, the Earth and the Moon.
But again, it's barely usable

It's awful on my phone but I tried it on my laptop and it worked fine.

There are two Orion trackers:

I'm surprised that the velocity is only 3400 mph. Isn't escape velocity 17,500 mph ?
No. That's (low) orbital velocity. Escape velocity is actually much higher than that.
It is now far from Earth, slowed down all the time by Earth‘s gravity. But at the distance, 3400 mph is still fast enough to escape.
Play some kerbal. As you get farther out in your orbit, you slow down almost to a stop before falling back to Earth
Like throwing a rock into the air. Itll slow down then fall at its peak
