Rob Navias, NASA JSC Mission Control Commentator:

3
00:00:10,269 --> 00:00:12,030
That view of Orion from the Ikhana.

4
00:00:12,030 --> 00:00:18,270
25,000 feet.

5
00:00:18,270 --> 00:00:21,619
Time to splashdown less than four minutes.

6
00:00:21,619 --> 00:00:28,509
Forward bay cover has been deployed.

7
00:00:28,509 --> 00:00:35,040
Drogues have been deployed.

8
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:43,880
Great video from the Ikhana.

9
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:51,480
15,000 until splashdown.

10
00:00:51,480 --> 00:01:00,841
Coming up on main chute deploy.

11
00:01:00,841 --> 00:01:19,710
From a way point over the Pacific Ocean there
is your new spacecraft America.

12
00:01:19,710 --> 00:01:23,310
Drogues away.

13
00:01:23,310 --> 00:01:28,719
Main chute deploy.

14
00:01:28,719 --> 00:01:29,719
On mains.

15
00:01:29,719 --> 00:01:31,409
Everything looking good.

16
00:01:31,409 --> 00:01:37,079
Good reefing reported.

17
00:01:37,079 --> 00:01:46,279
4,000 feet.

18
00:01:46,279 --> 00:02:09,750
Three good main chutes reported from the USS
Anchorage.

19
00:02:09,750 --> 00:02:10,750
That's confirmed here in mission control.

20
00:02:10,750 --> 00:02:17,710
From a high-speed rate of 20,000 miles an

21
00:02:17,710 --> 00:02:24,220
hour to a gentle return back to Earth.

22
00:02:24,220 --> 00:02:28,820
More than 4 hours and 20 minutes after it
took off

23
00:02:28,820 --> 00:02:37,640
on a Delta IV Heavy rocket from the Cape Canaveral
Air Force Station.

24
00:02:37,640 --> 00:03:01,740
3200 feet now until splashdown.

25
00:03:01,740 --> 00:03:34,080
2200 feet now.

26
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,440
Winds at the surface just about 12 knots.

27
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,400
Wave heights no more than about four-and-a-

28
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:41,970
half feet or so.

29
00:03:41,970 --> 00:03:54,550
Perfect conditions for Orion's homecoming.

30
00:03:54,550 --> 00:04:18,540
This view from Orion itself of the chutes
helping it to descend gently towards its

31
00:04:18,540 --> 00:04:26,830
splashdown in the Pacific.

32
00:04:26,830 --> 00:04:49,530
One thousand feet.

33
00:04:49,530 --> 00:05:00,650
Just a few hundred feet until splashdown.

34
00:05:00,650 --> 00:05:10,699
One hundred feet.

35
00:05:10,699 --> 00:05:12,110
We have splashdown.

36
00:05:12,110 --> 00:05:16,030
Splashdown confirmed at 10:29 a.m. central
time.

37
00:05:16,030 --> 00:05:18,250
Orion is back on Earth.
