The four-member crew, led by Commander Reid Wiseman, is currently undergoing medical evaluations and adjusting to life back on Earth.

NASA is also conducting a detailed investigation into the performance of the Orion spacecraft's heat shield during its high-speed reentry.

The mission is being hailed as a critical 'opening act' for the upcoming establishment of a permanent lunar base.
