NASA and the Department of Defense will host a media event on the recovery operations that will bring the Artemis II astronauts and the agency’s Orion spacecraft home at the conclusion of next year’s mission around the Moon.
A team of NASA and Department of Defense personnel are at sea in the Pacific Ocean where splashdown will take place.
Artemis II will be the first test flight of the SLS rocket, Orion spacecraft, and supporting ground system with crew aboard.
The mission is another step toward missions on the lunar surface and helping the agency prepare for future astronaut missions to Mars.
