From The Team: Recovering the Artemis II Spacecraft & Crew | NASA Kennedy

This week in 2022, the Exploration Ground Systems (EGS) Landing and Recovery team and partners with the Department of Defense recovered the Artemis II Orion spacecraft in the Pacific Ocean. Since then, teams and the Artemis II astronauts have conducted Underway Recovery Test 11, the eleventh of a series of tests, where they practiced extracting crew and recovering Orion. As teams continue to prepare for subsequent tests and Artemis II recovery, meet members of the team that will accomplish these history-making tasks.

Artemis II will launch no earlier than April 2026.
