    The Orion capsule, carrying the Artemis II crew, descends beneath its parachutes during reentry and recovery operations April 10, 2026. First Air Force Detachment 3, operating under Air Forces Space, coordinated the joint recovery effort between NASA, U.S. Space Command and U.S. Navy recovery forces, helping ensure the safe return of the astronauts and spacecraft following splashdown operations in the Pacific Ocean.
