NASA 's Orion craft has performed an important 'departure burn' as it heads home from its journey through space.
The hi-tech capsule passed by the moon on its way back to Earth this week after taking part in a historic 15-day mission which included inserting itself into the Moon's orbit.
A video shown on a NASA livestream on Thursday evening showed the unmanned ship firing up its jets for around one minute and 45 seconds before successfully manoeuvring to its return course.
