World
Humanity has officially returned to deep space. Today at 5:00 AM Tashkent time, the Artemis II crew successfully splashed down in the Pacific Ocean, concluding a historic ten-day journey to Earth's satellite. This flight marks the first crewed mission to lunar orbit in 54 years.
The Orion spacecraft did more than just retrace the steps of its Apollo predecessors; it wrote a new chapter in the history of space exploration. During the mission, the astronauts ventured around the far side of the Moon, reaching a distance of 406,000 kilometers from Earth—setting an absolute record for a spacecraft designed to carry humans.
The successful return of Artemis II signifies the completion of a critical milestone in the new lunar program. Over the ten-day flight, Orion’s systems were tested under the extreme conditions of deep space, clearing the path for the next phase: landing humans on the lunar surface. Experts note that the flawless conclusion of this mission confirms that technology is ready for the establishment of permanent bases on the Moon.
