We reeled in something out of this world. 🎣🚀 Navy divers return to the well deck of USS John P. Murtha (LPD 26) as the @NASA Orion spacecraft is winched aboard after returning to Earth from the Artemis II lunar mission on April 10, 2026. 📸 MC2 August Clawson

Over at the Port, Blue Origin recovery vessel, Jacklyn, is departing ahead of Friday’s New Glenn launch… meanwhile, over at SLC-36, New Glenn (with its flight-proven first stage) has been venting! Static Fire today?? @NASASpaceflight | nsf.live/spacecoast

Blue Origin's landing vessel Jacklyn is departing Port Canaveral in support of New Glenn's third launch! Will they stick the landing twice in a row? nsf.live/spacecoast

What a stunning ending to a historic mission! High quality photos credit to NASA/Joel Kowsky/Bill Ingalls of Orion and the Artemis II crew returning to Earth.

The Artemis II astronauts were all smiles on the flight deck of USS John P. Murtha after they were extracted from their Orion spacecraft after splashdown.

HOME. The Artemis II crew has arrived back on Earth, ending a nearly 10-day journey around the Moon. The trip took them farther into space than humans have ever gone before, and now they're safely home with us. go.nasa.gov/41r9eL0

Now we're getting somewhere. Side hatch now open on Orion, and the "front porch" life raft is now being prepared.

Recovery teams now on close approach

Final approach of the recovery teams is being delayed due to communication difficulties

Fast approach boats are now approaching Orion

Capsule is in a stable position on the water

SPLASHDOWN! Welcome home Artemis II !!! History was made, and this is just the beginning.

Three healthy main chutes! The Artemis II crew is nearly home
