Successful Splashdown Concludes Historic Artemis II Mission
NASA’s Artemis II mission culminated with the successful splashdown of the Orion capsule near San Diego. Departing Earth on April 1, the crew traveled farther from our planet than any previous humans, reaching the lunar far side. Following a complex descent procedure, the astronauts were safely extracted and transported for medical assessments. Artemis III is now poised to advance lunar exploration with planned landings using commercial landers from SpaceX and Blue Origin.
