Getting high-resolution pictures back from the Artemis (specifically Orion spacecraft) missions can be challenging due to bandwidth limitations, as 4K video and high-res images are prioritized lower than critical telemetry data. Reddit Reddit +2 Here is the breakdown of the situation: During the Mission: While live feeds (4K) are attempted, bandwidth is limited. Much of the high-resolution imagery and video taken by the crew and the spacecraft is stored on board and cannot be sent down immediately. After Splashdown: The best quality photos and video are officially released after the crew returns to Earth and the data is downloaded. Why it's hard: The Moon is over 238,000 miles away, making real-time, high-bandwidth communication difficult. Availability: While "live" video is sometimes limited or low-resolution, NASA provides processed images on their official Artemis II Multimedia website as soon as they are processed. Reddit Reddit +4 In summary: It is easy to see live, sometimes lower-quality feeds on NASA's YouTube, but it is "hard" (requiring patience) to get the best-quality photos until after the crew splashes down
