Artemis II Returns to Earth

Artemis II Returns to Earth

After a successful 10-day voyage around the Moon, astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen are nearing the final phase of their mission.

The crew traveled nearly 700,000 miles, setting new records for human distance from Earth while capturing unprecedented lunar imagery.

Mission Control in Houston is monitoring the spacecraft's trajectory closely as it prepares to hit the atmosphere at 32 times the speed of sound.

This mission marks the first crewed lunar flight in over half a century, signaling a new era of deep-space exploration.
