Event Summary

The Artemis II mission successfully completed its lunar flyby, with astronauts Reid Wiseman, Christina Koch, Victor Glover, and Jeremy Hansen making a historic radio linkup with the International Space Station. This marked the first moonship-to-spaceship communication ever. The crew beamed back over 50 gigabytes of data and images, including an 'Earthset' photo, and observed pinpricks of light on the lunar surface. Despite minor issues with the Orion capsule's toilet, United States — NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman confirmed the mission's overall success. The mission is set to conclude with a splashdown off the San Diego coast, paving the way for future Artemis III and Artemis IV lunar missions.
