To the Moon and Back: UC Davis Plays Role in Historic Artemis I Mission
On Dec. 11, Artemis I’s Orion capsule made a successful splashdown in the Pacific Ocean after nearly 26 days in space and orbiting the moon. Orion is NASA’s new exploration spacecraft designed to carry humans into deep space.
The McClellan Nuclear Research Center (MNRC) at the University of California, Davis played an important role in the success of the historic moon mission.
