Sailors assigned to amphibious transport dock ship USS John P. Murtha (LPD 26) steer a 7-meter ridged-hulled inflatable boat (RHIB) to the staging area of the Vehicle Advanced Demonstrator for Emergency Recovery, “VADR”, during Underway Recovery Test (URT) 10, July 28, 2023. The 7-meter RHIB is used as a safety patrol boat for the perimeter around the testing area. 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.
