After their historic journey around the Moon, the Artemis II astronauts have come home. They arrived in Houston, Texas, home of NASA's Johnson Space Center, on Saturday, April 11, 2026.

NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen splashed down in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California on April 10, 2026, concluding the Artemis II mission. 

The crew accomplished many milestones on their nearly 10-day mission, surpassing the Apollo 13 record for farthest crewed spaceflight and observing the lunar surface like never before, capturing iconic views.

Under Artemis, NASA will send astronauts on increasingly difficult missions to explore more of the Moon for scientific discovery, economic benefits, and to build on our foundation for the first crewed missions to Mars.
