Orion uses free return path
Orion's using a smart "free return" path that lets gravity do most of the work and saves fuel.
Its heat shield was investigated and fixed from Artemis 1 to handle temperatures up to 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit (2,760 degrees Celsius).
This splashdown isn't just an ending: it's a big step toward future trips to the Moon and Mars.
NASA will be streaming the landing live as it keeps pushing what humans can do in space.
