NASA has revealed how the Artemis II crew will be recovered after splashdown of the Orion spacecraft in the Pacific Ocean. From the moment Orion reenters Earth’s atmosphere and loses signal, recovery teams begin tracking its location using GPS and trajectory data before moving in. The briefing explains what happens if Orion lands in the wrong orientation, how NASA uses uprighting systems to stabilize the capsule, and why Navy divers must first inspect the spacecraft before opening the hatch. A key concern is the presence of toxic propellants around Orion, which must be cleared before astronauts can safely exit. The process also highlights the most critical phase—opening the hatch and assisting the crew, who may be disoriented after reentry. This step-by-step recovery plan reveals the precision, timing, and hidden risks involved in bringing Artemis II astronauts safely back to Earth.
