Artemis moonship returns to Earth with picture-perfect Pacific Ocean splashdown
The successful return to Earth marks a major milestone in NASA's plans to return astronauts to the surface of the moon.
www.cbsnews.comI don’t have live access to current news in this moment, but I can point you to how Artemis 1 splashdown was handled most recently and where it landed.
- The Artemis 1 Orion capsule splashdown occurred in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Guadalupe Island, west of the Baja California Peninsula. This location was chosen after weather considerations near other potential sites, with recovery teams from the U.S. Navy and NASA assisting in bringing Orion to shore. This was the uncrewed test flight concluding its 25–26 day mission around the Moon.
If you’d like, I can pull the latest authoritative updates from NASA or major outlets and summarize them with direct citations. I can also set up a quick alert if you want to monitor ongoing Artemis program news.
