NASA <\/strong>and the Department of Defense<\/strong> will host a media event on the recovery operations that will bring the Artemis II astronauts and the agency\u2019s Orion spacecraft home at the conclusion of next year\u2019s mission around the Moon. The in-person event will take place at 3 p.m. PDT on Monday, March 31, at Naval Base San Diego in California.<\/p>\n

A team of NASA and Department of Defense personnel are at sea in the Pacific Ocean where splashdown will take place. The team currently is practicing the procedures it will use to recover the astronauts after their more than 600,000 mile journey from Earth and back on the first crewed mission under the Artemis campaign. A test version of Orion and other hardware also will be on-hand for media representatives to view.<\/p>\n
