A life ring, throw ropes, and other equipment is seen laid out onboard USS John P. Murtha as NASA, U.S. Navy., and U.S. Air Force teams prepare for the the return of the Artemis II crewmembers to Earth, Wednesday, April 8, 2026, in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California. NASA’s Artemis II mission is taking NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, commander; Victor Glover, pilot; Christina Koch, mission specialist; and CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen, mission specialist on a 10-day journey around the Moon and back aboard their Orion spacecraft. Wiseman, Glover, Koch, and Hansen are scheduled to splash down off the coast of San Diego at approximately 5:07 p.m. PDT (8:07 p.m. EDT) on Friday, April 10. Photo Credit: (NASA/Joel Kowsky)
