00:00Today is the Artemis II astronauts' final full day in space.
00:03Good morning from Mission Control space fans, and thanks for following along as we've kept
00:06track of each day of NASA's Artemis II mission around the Moon.
00:10On today's agenda, the Artemis II astronauts will perform Orion's last trajectory correction
00:14burn to fine-tune their splashdown location in the Pacific Ocean.
00:17They do have a few more demonstration tests to carry out, practicing procedures for things
00:22like if Orion's waste management system fails, and they'll also be donning and fitting compression
00:26clothes designed to help their bodies readjust to gravity after landing.
00:29Those are called orthostatic intolerant garments, and help to counteract symptoms like dizziness
00:34and lightheadedness after time spent in Zero-G.
00:37By the end of today, the Artemis II crew will be fully ready for their return home, with
00:41the final leg of their mission just ahead.
00:43Splashdown is scheduled for tomorrow, and is an event you don't want to miss.
