See how NASA capsules slow down to earth for a seamless splashdown
As the Orion capsule returns to Earth and prepares for splashdown, maximum velocity is expected to reach as much as 35,000 feet per second. To begin slowing down for Orion’s descent, parachutes will deploy at about 24,000 feet. NASA Orion Parachute Systems Manager Jared Daum joins CNN’s Randi Kaye and explains how they work.

Space capsule landing
A powerful moment from space exploration 🌍 This video shows SpaceX’s Crew-4 Dragon capsule splashing down in the Atlantic Ocean, marking the safe return of four astronauts after months aboard the International Space Station. After surviving intense re-entry heat, the capsule gently descended under parachutes before touching down at sea, where recovery teams moved in fast. This is how modern space travel brings humans back home — precise, calm, and incredible to watch. Crew-4 astronauts: 👩‍🚀👨
