After their historic lunar flyby, the crew safely splashed down in the Pacific.
NASA's Artemis II mission lifted off on April 1 at 6:35 p.m. ET from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
The four-person crew completed a 695,081-mile, 10-day journey around the moon, also known as a lunar fly-by.
A "textbook" splashdown took place at 8:07 p.m. ET on Friday, April 10.
The Artemis II crew was awakened on the final day of their mission by the song "Run to the Water" by Live, followed by the Zac Brown Band song "Free."
Brown then shared a personal audio message with the crew.
The crew will prepare for their day and then spend time configuring the cabin for reentry, which will begin at approximately 7:53 p.m. ET.
Splashdown is still scheduled for 8:07 p.m. ET.
NASA says the Artemis II return is on track, with teams focused on the final phase of the mission: the reentry, splashdown and recovery sequence.
From the moment Orion enters Earth’s atmosphere to the time it splashes down in the Pacific Ocean, the entire sequence takes about 13 minutes.
“It’s 13 minutes of things that have to go right,” NASA Flight Director Jeff Radigan said during the final mission status briefing, adding that in his view, “it’s more, in my head, about an hour and a half of things that have to go right.”
Officials also addressed public visibility of entry and splashdown along the West Coast. Based on the planned trajectory, Radigan said, “I don’t expect it to be visible for the folks in California,” noting that the spacecraft will be targeting a landing area well offshore.
He cautioned the public to stay clear of the area, pointing to the debris that is expected to fall.
NASA confirmed a small leak in the service module’s oxidizer system, but officials said it will not affect the return.

The Artemis II crew was awakened Thursday by the song “Lonesome Drifter,” by country singer Charley Crockett, as day nine of their 10-day flight officially began.
Reentry and splashdown preparations for a scheduled Friday splashdown off the California coast are now in full swing. The crew is scheduled to execute their second return trajectory burn of the Orion crew module at 10:53 p.m. ET today.
NASA will hold another mission status briefing at 3:30 p.m. ET.

The weather forecast remains good for the scheduled splashdown of the Artemis II Orion crew module, according to NASA.
Tentatively scheduled for 5:07 p.m. PT/8:07 p.m. ET Friday, NASA says the splashdown site will likely be within 100 miles of the coast of San Diego, Calif., where the Navy's amphibious transport dock ship USS John P. Murtha will lead recovery efforts.
The majority of the weather criteria are in order to have a safe recovery mission by sea and by air. Visibility will likely be within the necessary guidelines for the safe flight of recovery helicopters, especially from 50 to 100 miles off the coast.
Weather criteria that need to be met for a safe splashdown and recovery include significant wave heights of less than six feet, no precipitation or lightning within 35 miles of the splashdown site, and winds under 28 mph, with minimal cloud cover and good visibility, according to NASA.
