According to NASA data, as the Orion capsule passes behind the Moon, it enters a zone of so-called communication "blackout," because the Moon physically blocks radio and laser signals between the spacecraft and Earth. "See you on the other side of the Moon," was said from Orion to the Houston center before the signal was lost. This signal loss is not a malfunction or technical issue, but a natural consequence of the spacecraft's movement. As experts explain, communication in space works only when there is a direct line between the spacecraft and antennas on Earth, and during the passage behind the Moon, that line simply does not exist. According to available data, the crew will remain without any contact with flight control for about 40 minutes while Orion orbits the far side of the Moon. This is a moment of complete isolation, during which the astronauts work according to a pre-defined mission plan, which has been planned down to the smallest details. Before entering this phase, the crew carried out a series of key tasks, from testing life support and navigation systems to taking photographs and analyzing the Moon's surface, including parts never visible from Earth, mainly craters on the far side of the Moon. The key moment comes precisely during the stay behind the Moon, when the spacecraft performs the so-called free-return trajectory burn. This is a precise engine firing that allows Orion to "catch" the Moon's gravity and set itself on a trajectory that naturally returns it toward Earth, without the need for additional major corrections. After the capsule emerges from behind the Moon, communication with Earth is expected to be re-established via NASA's deep space network, when flight control resumes oversight of the mission and receives all collected data. This maneuver is considered one of the most important in the entire mission, as it directly determines the safe return of the crew and confirms the spacecraft's ability to navigate precisely in deep space conditions, which is a key step toward future human missions beyond the Moon.
