“A perfect bullseye splashdown for Integrity,” said Rob Navias, the public affairs officer of mission operations at Nasa’s Johnson Space Center.
(April 11): Nasa’s Artemis crew of four astronauts returned to Earth and splashed down in the Pacific Ocean on Friday, capping humanity’s first return to the moon in more than 50 years.
The Lockheed Martin Corp-built Orion crew capsule carrying the Artemis II crew completed a fiery plunge through the planet’s atmosphere, before touching down under parachutes off the coast of California just after 5pm local time. Nasa said the crew was in good health.
