Houston, we have a podcast.

Welcome to the official podcast of the NASA Johnson Space Center, episode 210, Artemis Recovery.

I'm Gary Jordan and I'll be your host today.

On this podcast we bring in the experts, scientists, engineers, and astronauts

all to let you know what's going on in the world of human spaceflight.

On the last Artemis episode we discussed what happens in Mission Control

for the Artemis One Mission which will test the space launch system rocket

and an uncrewed Orion capsule in a mission around the moon.

When it comes screaming back into the Earth's atmosphere at 25,000 miles per hour, it will land in the Pacific Ocean,

where a team dedicated to locating and recovering the Orion capsule will be waiting.

On this episode, we're diving deep into what it takes to go fetch a spacecraft after landing in the ocean.

Joining us is Melissa Jones, Artemis 1 Recovery Director based at NASA's Kennedy Space Center.

She goes into the assets, timing, coordination, and teams that will recover a capsule coming from the moon.

So let's get right into it. Enjoy. P-Mina-5 second-time-T minus by second county.
