The NASA spacecraft that carried four astronauts around the Moon splashed down as planned Friday (April 10, 2026) into the Pacific Ocean.
The crew members — Christina Koch, Victor Glover, Jeremy Hansen and Reid Wiseman — are to be met by recovery teams and flown to a U.S. military ship for medical evaluations.
“We have you loud and clear,” mission commander Wiseman said following a communications check.
