“Wildcards” participate in maritime recovery training in the San Diego bay alongside NASA
personnel, July 18, 2023. In preparation for NASA's Artemis II crewed mission, which will send
four astronauts in Orion beyond the Moon, NASA and the U.S. Navy 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 many unique capabilities that make it
an ideal partner to support NASA, including its amphibious capabilities with the ability to
embark helicopters, launch and recover small boats, three-dimensional air search radar and
advanced medical facilities. (U.S. Navy Photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Ryan
