PACIFIC OCEAN (Feb. 27, 2024) Sailors assigned to Explosive Ordnance Disposal Expeditionary Support Unit (EODESU) 1 and Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 23 assist astronauts out of a crew module test article (CMTA) onto a life raft while underway with the San Antonio class amphibious transport dock ship USS San Diego (LPD 22) for NASA's Underway Recovery Test 11, Feb. 27, 2024. In preparation for NASA's Artemis II crewed mission, which will send four astronauts in Orion beyond the Moon, NASA and the Department of Defense will conduct a series of tests to demonstrate and evaluate the processes, procedures, and hardware used in recovery operations for crewed lunar missions. The U.S. Navy has may unique capabilities that make it an ideal partner to support NASA, including its amphibious ships with the ability to embark helicopters, launch and recover small boats, three-dimensional air search radar and advanced medical facilities.
