NASA Astronaut U.S. Navy Capt. Victor Glover renders honors to the U.S. flag while boarding amphibious transport dock ship USS John P. Murtha (LPD 26) for a tour, July 19, 2023. John P. Murtha along with the Vehicle Advanced Demonstrator for Emergency Recovery, “VADER”, will be used for training in at-sea space module recoveries. 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.
