Artemis II Splashdown: When To Watch Friday — After 16-Minute Blackout

Artemis II is set to end Friday, April 10, with a Pacific Ocean splashdown.

NASA is targeting 8:07 p.m. EDT, and NASA+ coverage starts at 6:30 p.m. EDT.

Orion, named Integrity, will separate from the European Service Module before re-entry.

The capsule will lose communications for about 16 minutes as its heat shield nears 5,000°F.

After parachutes deploy, the U.S. Navy will recover the crew on USS John P. Murtha.
