About this work
Artemis II Pilot Victor Glover, from NASA, is extracted from NASA’s Orion spacecraft and loaded onto an inflatable raft, called the front porch, following splashdown in the Pacific Ocean near San Diego, California, at 5:07 p.m. PDT, (8:07 p.m. EDT) on Friday, April 10, 2026. Koch and the other Artemis II crew will be taken to USS John P. Murtha to be routinely examined while NASA’s Landing and Recovery team and the U.S. Navy recover Orion and secure it in the well deck of the USS John P. Murtha.
