Headline: Artemis II Returns To Earth

Caption:

A Navy MH-60 Seahawk from Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 23 is seen as it lifts CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen, Artemis II mission specialist as teams work to bring the crewmembers aboard USS John P. Murtha, Friday, April 10, 2026, in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California. NASA’s Artemis II mission took Hansen, NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, commander; Victor Glover, pilot; and Christina Koch, mission specialist on a nearly 10-day journey around the Moon and back to Earth. Following a splashdown at 5:07 p.m. PDT (8:07 p.m. EDT), NASA, U.S. Navy, and U.S. Air Force teams are working to bring the crewmembers and Orion spacecraft aboard the recovery ship.
