NASA’s 25-day Artemis 1 mission came to a successful close on Sunday (Dec. 11) with a splashdown off Mexico’s Baja California coast at 9:40 a.m. PT.
The splashdown, which took place on the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 17 Moon landing, marked the end of the uncrewed Orion capsule’s journey to lunar orbit, which saw it travel a total of about 1.4 million miles (2.25 million kilometers).
