Upon completing its outbound flyby burn, Orion passed roughly 1,400 miles (2,200 km) above the Apollo 11 landing site at Tranquility Base. It then traveled over the Apollo 14 site at around 6,000 miles (9,700 km) in altitude, followed by a trip above the Apollo 12 site at a height of around 7,700 miles (12,400 km), according to NASA.
