NASA's Orion spacecraft has successfully splashed down into the Pacific Ocean after a near-26-day mission to orbit the Moon.

The uncrewed Orion capsule, which is designed to carry astronauts, splashed down on Sunday after a fiery re-entry into Earth's atmosphere.

The capsule hit the atmosphere at 32 times the speed of sound, and endured re-entry temperatures of 2,760 degrees Celsius before splashing down west of Mexico’s Baja California near Guadalupe Island.
