"Around the Moon and back. Watch the Artemis II astronauts come home.

NASA's Artemis II mission is splashing down in the Pacific Ocean at about 8:07 p.m. EDT on Friday, April 10 (0007 UTC April 11).

Four astronauts — three from NASA and one from the CSA (Canadian Space Agency) — make up the Artemis II crew: • NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman, Artemis II commander • NASA astronaut Victor Glover, Artemis II pilot • NASA astronaut Christina Koch, Artemis II mission specialist • Canadian Space Agency (CSA) astronaut Jeremy Hansen, Artemis II mission specialist

The Artemis II astronauts launched on April 1 for a journey of ten days that took them farther than any humans have traveled from Earth. On their Orion spacecraft, named Integrity, they flew around the Moon, making observations which will help enhance scientific understanding.

Artemis II is the first crewed flight test of NASA's Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft, testing the technologies we'll need for long-term lunar exploration and human missions to Mars.
