Artemis II Prepares To Splash Down Off US Coast

The figures were released as part of INMO's Trolley Watch

The Artemis II crew is preparing to splash down off the coast of the US later.

Their mission comes to a conclusion in the early hours of the morning, Irish time.

Astronauts cleaned up their cabin last night, to make space for the return to Earth's atmosphere.

Four astronauts are returning from their trip to the Moon - after going further than anyone has before.

They'll reach speeds of over 23,000 miles an hour as they re-enter the Earth's atmosphere.
