After 10 days in space, Artemis II astronauts are set for a splashdown in the Pacific, marking humanity’s return to the Moon's vicinity for the first time since Apollo.
The Artemis II crew, flying in their Orion capsule since launching from Florida last week, awoke around 10:50 a.m. for their sixth flight day to a recorded message from late astronaut Jim Lovell.
The mission is the first crewed test flight in NASA's Artemis program, the flagship US effort to begin regular flights to the moon, at an estimated cost of at least $93 billion since 2012.
Planned for 2027, the new mission comes as the US aims to establish regular lunar missions, a long-awaited follow-up to its first moon missions in the Apollo program, which ended in 1972.
NASA said it is taking steps to roll back the Artemis II rocket and Orion spacecraft to the Vehicle Assembly Building at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
