What happens to the second stage service module, after the Orion Command Capsule separates and heads back to earth? Does it float along in orbit… or is it brought back to earth?

The Orion spacecraft is a breakthrough, transport astronauts to destinations in deep space, including an asteroid or Mars, can be a breakthrough for humanity.
