Artemis II Mission Splashes Down Safely Off the Coast of San Diego

What Happened?

After carrying astronauts farther from Earth than any mission in history, the Artemis II spacecraft safely splashed down in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Diego, Friday. The mission took the crew of four around the dark side of the moon, capturing portions of lunar surface never seen by human eyes. 

NASA released several stunning images from Artemis II, including novel views of Earth from behind the moon. The splashdown completed the historic ten-day mission for NASA, and all astronauts onboard were safely picked up by U.S. Navy ships. 

Why it Matters

The Artemis II mission provided NASA with the opportunity to allow a human crew to test new equipment onboard the spacecraft for the first time. Those systems, especially the ones designed for long-term spaceflight, will be critical to future planned missions, including a trip to Mars. The mission also provided a novel look at the dark side of the moon, which has remained out of sight because the moon doesn’t rotate on its axis the way Earth does, meaning the same side is always facing us.

Re-entry is one of the most dangerous phases of the mission, because the spacecraft is subjected to intense heat from the friction of hitting the atmosphere at enormous speeds. Because the craft is out of fuel at that point, the return to Earth is controlled by gravity, and during portions of the re-entry, radio communications are disrupted due to atmospheric interference. That means astronauts are on their own and unable to maneuver the craft should anything go wrong…

According to NASA, the new Artemis II crew module is the pressurized part of the Orion spacecraft, sometimes referred to as the capsule, where crew lived and worked on their journey to the Moon and back. The crew module can accommodate four crew members for up to 21 days, and provides a safe habitat through launch, on-orbit operations, landing, and recovery. Though the amount of room onboard is limited, there is enough room for astronauts to eat, exercise, and sleep.

Even though Artemis II did not land on the moon, there was still a significant scientific component to the mission. Utilizing modern sensors and technology, NASA scientists were able to gather a range of new data on astronauts’ health while in space, and that data will be crucial to helping NASA plan for future missions to Mars. Astronauts were also able to photograph and analyze geological features of the far side of the moon to generate new data on lunar geology. 

How it Affects You

The record-breaking trip around the moon and safe return to Earth by Artemis II proved NASA still has the technology and skill to conduct human spaceflight far from Earth. Artemis also demonstrated that the United States is still the world’s leader in space exploration.
