NASA's Orion spacecraft has splashed down in Pacific Ocean after completing its historic 26-day mission to the Moon.
The unmanned 322-foot-tall stack, consisting of the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft, made a soft landing over the waters west of Baja California on Sunday.
Recovery teams are working to secure Orion for the journey home, NASA said. The U.S. space agency leads the interagency landing and recovery team on the USS Portland, which consists of personnel and assets from the U.S. Department of Defense, including Navy amphibious specialists, Space Force weather specialists, and Air Force specialists, as well as engineers and technicians from NASA Kennedy, the agency's Johnson Space Center in Houston, and Lockheed Martin Space Operations.
