The Artemis II crew returned from a nearly 10-day mission around the moon, in what was NASA’s first crewed lunar mission in 50+ years.
Recovery teams have successfully extracted the four Artemis II astronauts from the Orion capsule following their historic mission. The crew has returned safely after traveling to the farthest point in space ever reached by humans, marking a new milestone in deep space exploration.
The Artemis II crew has successfully splashed down in the Pacific Ocean after a historic 695,081-mile, 10-day journey around the moon and back.
