Way to go, #CAPSTONE!
In addition to taking its first images and testing new navigational tech, the #CubeSat has flown a near-rectilinear halo orbit for over six months, the same orbit that @NASA_Gateway, our future lunar space station, will fly.

Nice work, #CAPSTONE!
Our Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has received and returned signal from the spacecraft which will continue testing its near rectilinear halo orbit for up to 12 months!

NASA's CAPSTONE spacecraft has completed final maneuvers to place it in its target orbit around the Moon, refining its path in the orbit it arrived to last week.Roxana Bardan (NASA)
Does anything orbit the Moon?
Yes! A handful of satellites currently orbit the Moon and, now, so does #CAPSTONE! This microwave oven-sized satellite will test a unique halo-shaped orbit to support @NASAArtemis & @NASA_Gateway missions: go.nasa.gov/3URKmHc
