Join in-person or via live-stream on Friday, April 10 from 6:00 to 8:30 pm to welcome back Canadian Space Agency Astronaut Jeremy Hansen and his Artemis II crewmates as they make their landing in the Pacific Ocean. In person we will be tuning in from the Manitoba Museum Auditorium, and the live-stream will be available on our Facebook and YouTube channels. The event begins at 6:00 pm CDT, with splashdown scheduled for 7:07 pm CDT. The event is free but seating is first-come, first-served.

The Artemis II mission, years in preparation, launched last week with three American Astronauts and Canadian Astronaut Jeremy Hansen aboard. This past Monday they completed their lunar fly-by, observing rare and never-before-seen views of the far side of the Moon as well as a solar eclipse. Their observations and data collection from throughout this test flight will support the planning for future Artemis missions, including a lunar landing and lunar surface missions.
