A full Moon is in view from Launch Complex 39B at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on June 14, 2022. The Artemis I Space Launch System (SLS) and Orion spacecraft, atop the mobile launcher, are being prepared for a wet dress rehearsal to practice timelines and procedures for launch. The first in an increasingly complex series of missions, Artemis I will test SLS and Orion as an integrated system prior to crewed flights to the Moon. Through Artemis, NASA will land the first woman and first person of color on the lunar surface, paving the way for a long-term lunar presence and using the Moon as a steppingstone on the way to Mars.

A cartoon incorporating both the seismic observations and the computer simulations, summarising the sequence of events that we hypothesise formed the Nadir Crater. These show the initial impact of a 400 m diameter asteroid in (A), the immediate effects of the impact after a few seconds in (B), including vaporisation of sediment and water, the formation of a large fireball, the generation of shock waves and pressure waves equivalent to a magnitude 6.5 earthquake and the formation of an 'ejecta curtain' of rock and water several kilometers high. After 30 seconds (C) the ejecta curtain collapses to form an initial rim wave tsunami. Meanwhile, in the subsurface, the rocks below the crater floor rebound to form the central uplift. In (D), we can see that the weakened sediments/rocks on the side of the crater collapse in towards the crater and that the water resurges back into the crater, transporting some of the sediment that was initially ejected back into the crater itself.
