The Orion spacecraft is on its way back to Earth, about to splash down in the Pacific Ocean, ending the Artemis I mission.
On Sunday, December 11th Orion will go through the final three mission milestones; entry, descent, and splashdown. Recovery teams will demonstrate that they can safely secure the spacecraft in the water before bringing it onboard. These milestones are critical to the future success of the Artemis program and crewed missions.
Coverage of splashdown and recovery operations will be live-streamed by NASA from Mission Control in Houston beginning at 10 a.m. CT on Sunday, December 11th. Viewers can tune in to NASA TV, NASA Live, the NASA App, or NASA’s YouTube channel.
