Nasa’s Orion capsule and its test dummies have swooped one last time around the moon – flying over a couple of Apollo landing sites before heading home.

Orion will aim for a Pacific splashdown on Sunday off the coast of San Diego, setting the stage for astronauts on the next flight in a couple of years.
