For NASA’s Artemis I (Artemis-1) mission to the Moon, the Orion spacecraft fired the orbital maneuvering system engine, on its European service module, to propel into a “Distant Retrograde Orbit (DRO), on 25 November 2022, at 21:52 UTC (16:52 EST). According to NASA, the “Distant Retrograde Orbit (DRO) provides a highly stable orbit where little fuel is required to stay for an extended trip in deep space to put Orion’s systems to the test in an environment far from Earth.”
