Artemis II Flight Day 10: Crew Completes Final Burn Before Splashdown
#Artemis #space #news #Orion #OrionIntegrity #spacecraft #Artemis2
At 2:53 p.m. EDT, the Orion spacecraft ignited its thrusters for 8 seconds, producing a change in velocity of 4.2 feet-per-second and pushing Artemis II toward Earth. NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch and CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen reviewed procedures and monitored the spacecraft’s configuration and navigation data.
A U.S. Navy CMV-22 Osprey is seen as it approaches the flight deck of USS John P. Murtha with NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman, as NASA and U.S. military teams prepare for the return of the Artemis II mission to Earth, in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California.

Artemis II Flight Day 10: Crew sets for final trajectory correction burn, re-entry and splashdown
#Artemis #space #news #Orion #OrionIntegrity #spacecraft #Artemis2
The Artemis II crew — NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch and CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen — began the final phase of their journey home to the songs “Run to the Water” by Live, selected by the crew, and “Free” by Zac Brown Band, as they prepared for their third return trajectory correction burn and shifted into full re-entry and splashdown preparations. When they woke up, they were 61,326 miles from Earth.
