KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. — NASA’s Orion spacecraft is back home after a long journey from California to Florida, NASA said.
The spacecraft recently carried NASA Artemis II astronauts on a mission that launched about a month ago and later splashed down in the Pacific Ocean near California after a successful trip around the Moon.
After traveling across the country, engineers will now collect post-flight data to better understand how Orion performed.
NASA said those insights will help shape future Artemis missions.
