To moon and back! Orion’s historic mission to end with splashdown in Pacific tonight

Nasa’s Artemis-1 Orion spacecraft is all set to head home. The spacecraft, which was launched on November 16, is targeting a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean on Sunday.

The Orion capsule, carrying a simulated crew of three mannequins wired with sensors, is due to parachute into the Pacific at 12.39 PM EST (11.09 PM IST) near Guadalupe Island, off Mexico’s Baja California peninsula.
