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.

The Artemis II has provided iconic images throughout its moon fly-by mission, using a string of surprising cameras
Entire space programs have been canceled after a failure in the reentry phase. In the final test for Artemis II, astronauts will travel at 32 times the speed of sound as they return from the moon.
