CAPSTONE is owned and operated by Advanced Space on behalf of NASA, but was built by Terran Orbital. Advanced Space's systems engineering lead and mission operations manager, Alec Forsman, said:"This [trajectory correction maneuver] confirms the preparation, extensive analysis, teams working together and continued hard work to allow this mission to remain successful, especially following the recent anomaly.
"Every activity provides many lessons learned before our arrival at the Moon. These experiences better prepare the team for lunar operations." ®
