Replay: NASA Experts Discuss Artemis I Moon Mission Splashdown & Next Steps

Following the successful splashdown of the Artemis I Moon mission off the coast of California at 12:40 p.m. EST (17:40 UTC) on Dec. 11, 2022, NASA experts discussed next steps for the Orion spacecraft. Orion spent 25.5 days in space and travelled 1.4 million miles (2.3 million km) around the Moon and back after launching aboard the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket on Nov. 16 from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center (KSC).

The Artemis I mission is the first integrated test of NASA’s deep space exploration systems: the Orion spacecraft, the SLS rocket, and Kennedy Space Center's Exploration Ground Systems.

This will provide the foundation to send humans to the lunar surface, to develop a long-term presence on and around the Moon, and pave the way for humanity to set foot on Mars.
