The four astronauts of the Artemis-2 mission have successfully returned to Earth after orbiting the moon. After landing in the water, mission commander Reed Wiseman said that he and his three companions are healthy.
\nThe ‘Orion’ spacecraft carrying them landed in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Diego, California, at 6:07 am today (April 11) (8:07 pm Friday according to US Eastern Time). AFP and CNN reported this news.
\nAfter landing in the sea, commander Reed Wiseman said, “What an incredible journey. We are stable.” All four astronauts are completely healthy. This confirms that all astronauts are physically healthy.
\nNASA’s Artemis-2 Landing and Recovery Director Liliana Villarreal said that the astronauts will be rescued from the capsule within two hours of landing. They will first be brought to a raft called the ‘Front Porch’, then taken by helicopter to the US Navy’s rescue ship ‘USS John P. Murtha’.
\nNASA flight controller Jeff Radigan said that the rescue process could take 30 to 45 minutes if the seas are calm. After initial health checks on the ship, the astronauts will be flown to the Johnson Space Center in Houston.
\nThe 10-day lunar mission began on April 1. It was attended by Reed Wiseman of the United States and Christina Koch, Victor Glover and Jeremy Hansen of Canada. The mission has created several new histories. Their maximum distance from Earth at the far side of the Moon was 252,757 miles, surpassing the record set by the Apollo 13 mission in 1970.
\nIn addition, Victor Glover became the first black person, Christina Koch the first woman, and Jeremy Hansen the first non-American to orbit the Moon. During this mission, the astronauts also witnessed at least six bright meteor showers on the lunar surface.
\nThe Artemis 2 mission is a key test step in NASA’s plan to send humans to the Moon’s south pole by 2028. The historic return was broadcast live on NASA Plus, Amazon Prime, Netflix, and Apple TV.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
