New video shows moment Orion capsule is opened at sea

Newly released video shows the moment a recovery crew opens the hatch of Artemis II’s Orion capsule to a joyful reunion with the four astronauts inside.

Cheers broke out as the crew – Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen – were all found to be safe and well after splashdown on Friday 10 April.

The historic mission saw the four astronauts travel further from Earth than any human has ever gone.
