Artemis II Crew Returns Home

The four-person crew aboard the Orion spacecraft, including the first woman and first Black astronaut to fly to the moon, safely landed off the coast of San Diego.

The mission reached a record-breaking distance from Earth, testing critical deep-space systems required for future lunar settlements.

Mission commander Reid Wiseman confirmed the team is in excellent health following a high-speed re-entry through the atmosphere.

This success clears the path for NASA's ambitious plans to return humans to the lunar surface within the next two years.
