Description
NASA's Orion capsule arrived in San Diego early Tuesday morning. The historic Artemis I Mission ended Sunday as Orion splashed down off the coast of Baja California.
Crews loaded the capsule onto the USS Portland, which arrived at Naval Base San Diego Tuesday. The San Diego coast was set to be the landing site; however, after evaluating the weather, NASA decided on a landing site in the Pacific Ocean near Guadalupe Island.
Now, Artemis II is scheduled to orbit the moon in 2024, but this time with astronauts aboard. Then by 2025, NASA's Artemis III hopes to return Americans to the moon, for the first time in 50 years, to establish a base on the moon for deep space exploration.
