Space News

Our last space news blog was about the Artemis launch which is the first step to get humans back on the Moon. In this blog, we update you with the mission....

Orion spacecraft from the Artemis 1 mission has successfully come back to Earth! Artemis 1 launched from Earth on November 16th, 2022 for a 25 days mission with the aim of a test run before a crewed flyby mission to the Moon in Artemis 2 and a crewed landing in Artemis 3. 

Orion splashed down in the Pacific after which tests were performed on it. It has now been shifted to a ship which will deliver it back to the NASA centre for further tests to be carried out. Science standing on the moon again is not long now!
