Artemis 1's Orion spacecraft will splashdown in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Baja California, Mexico, on December 11. The 24-foot spacecraft is on its way back to Earth after its 25.5-day journey. The splashdown will occur around 12:40 pm EST (11:10 pm IST). Orion recently performed its last powered lunar flyby, which directed the lunar capsule toward its return voyage.
