The astronauts of the American spacecraft Artemis-2 have returned to Earth safely.

Successfully completing their 10-day mission, the Artemis-2 crew landed in the Pacific Ocean near San Diego, California, on Saturday morning.

The crew suffered a six-minute communication interruption before re-entering the atmosphere. After landing, the commander of the mission, Reed Wiseman, said that his crew was healthy.


During the journey, the Artemis-2 crew directly observed the far side of the moon from about 6,000 kilometers.

On Thursday, four astronauts from Florida left for space as part of the American scientific research organization NASA's 'Artemis Second Mission'. After 54 years, people have reached the moon.

This time, they also set a new record for the furthest that humans have traveled from Earth . The Artemis-2 lunar mission lost contact with Earth completely when it reached the dark and extremely cold south polar region of the moon (far side of the moon).

It is estimated that approximately 1.2 billion people watched the live broadcast of this mission. However, the data has not yet been integrated, as it was also broadcast on various NASA platforms and other means.

The live broadcast was also broadcast on platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, X, Netflix and Disney. The live broadcast, which was broadcast from approximately 400,000 kilometers away, was available in 4K quality.

The moment Artemis-2 approached the lunar surface and surpassed the record distance set by Apollo-13 was watched live by nearly 10 million viewers on NASA's X alone.

Earlier, it is estimated that about 650 million people watched live when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin first set foot on the moon through Apollo-11.
