Navy dive team leads Artemis 2 rescue: first at-sea entry to Orion after lunar splashdown

Four U.S. Navy dive-medical technicians aboard the USS John P. Murtha greeted NASA’s Artemis 2 astronauts after their splashdown, becoming the first people to enter NASA’s Orion capsule at sea to perform medical checks and help the crew exit the spacecraft, as the four astronauts—Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen—were stabilized on a recovery platform; the team trained extensively with Orion mockups, marking a new phase in Artemis recoveries.
