The Orion spacecraft splashed into the Pacific Ocean after flying over the moon

The end of the uncrewed test flight coincides with the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 17 Moon landing, the last time NASA astronauts landed there.

The capsule of the unmanned American spacecraft Orion, which flew to the moon, successfully splashed into the Pacific Ocean. About this last night reported I hope in.

It is indicated that the landing took place in normal mode on the west coast of the Mexican state of Baja California. The capsule was picked up by the USS Portland.

At the same time, the end of the uncrewed test flight coincided with the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 17 landing on the Moon, the last time NASA astronauts landed there.

The Orion capsule will now be sent to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida for testing.

Recall that on November 16, the launch of the Orion spacecraft took place – the mission lasted 26 days. On the first test flight, there were no astronauts on board; instead, three dummies went to the moon. Orion was launched into space by the world’s most powerful Space Launch System rocket.

This is the first flight for the Orion spacecraft as part of NASA’s Artemis lunar program. The next stage of this program is the flight of astronauts around the Moon in the same ship. It is scheduled for 2024. And in 2025, astronauts will land on the moon, near its south pole, for the first time in 50 years.
