NASA’s Artemis II crew — which is composed of astronauts Reid Wiseman, Christina Koch, Victor Glover, and the CSA’s Jeremy Hansen — are set to hold a news conference Thursday at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Tex., to detail their historic 10-day lunar mission.
The astronauts splashed down in the Pacific Ocean six days ago in the Orion spacecraft that took them the furthest distance any humans have ever travelled outside Earth.
The astronauts underwent initial medical checks aboard the ship that recovered them off the San Diego coast Friday, before they were flown to Houston, where they were greeted with a jubilant homecoming at Ellington Field near Mission Control.
NASA said the crew has since been undergoing standard postflight reconditioning, evaluations and lunar science debriefings.
