Artemis II is on its way back to Earth, marking a historic moment as the first crewed mission of NASA’s Artemis program to travel beyond low Earth orbit.

The Orion capsule is due Friday, April 10, to reenter Earth’s atmosphere following their moon mission in a water landing around 8:07 p.m. ET in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Diego, California.
