Artemis II Capsule Returns to Florida
According to a statement published on NASA’s official website on Tuesday, the capsule, which transported astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen, has been moved for a comprehensive examination.
The statement indicated that NASA engineers will initiate de-servicing procedures on the vehicle, which involve dismantling various components.
“This includes removing payloads from the crew module, removing avionics boxes for reuse, and retrieving data from the spacecraft to better understand its performance and inform procedures and plans for future Artemis missions," the statement said.
"Orion’s heat shield and other elements will be removed for extensive analysis, and remaining hazards such as excess propellant will be offloaded,” it added.
The Orion capsule was launched on April 1 from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida as part of the Artemis II mission.
After successfully concluding its journey, the spacecraft returned to Earth on April 10.
