YouTube Description
as posted by the channel5PM ET:
NASA leaders will provide another update on the Artemis II mission. Astronauts are currently on day eight of a 10-day mission.
MORE INFO:
The Artemis II crew is now heading back toward Earth after completing a historic lunar flyby.
It will take the crew about four days to make the trip back to Earth. They are expected to splash down in the Pacific Ocean on Friday.
Artemis II also traveled more than 250,000 miles from Earth, breaking the record for the greatest distance humans have traveled from the planet, which was set by Apollo 13 in 1970.
ARTEMIS SCHEDULE:
Return (Days 6–9): Using a free-return trajectory, Orion will use the moon’s and Earth’s gravity to guide the spacecraft safely home.
Reentry: The service module separates, and the capsule re-enters Earth’s atmosphere, facing temperatures up to 3,000°F (1,650°C).
Splashdown: The Artemis II crew will parachute into the Pacific Ocean, completing the mission much like Apollo astronauts did decades ago.
