On March 30, the Sun emitted a powerful flare, but the resulting plasma cloud bypassed both Earth and the Moon. NASA has evaluated the risk posed by this event to the crew and equipment as minimal.

In the event of a severe solar storm, astronauts have the option to seek refuge inside the Orion spacecraft to shield themselves from solar particles. The upcoming launch of the Artemis II mission is set for April 2, with the launch window opening at 01:24 Moscow time.
