The four astronauts on board the Orion spacecraft have completed their mission around the Moon and are expected to splash down off the coast of San Diego on around 20:00 Friday US EDT (01:00BST).
Speaking to media from space on their way home, the mission’s pilot, Victor Glover, said the crew was eager to share what they had seen with the world.
And it’s the USS John P. Murtha that will bring them home. When the Orion splashes down, the navy officers on board will pick them up and ensure they get the medical treatment needed before returning to their families.
