Dmitriy Bank, NASA Test Director, explains the Vehicle Advanced Demonstrator for Emergency Recovery, “VADR”, capabilities to midshipmen from the U.S. Naval Academy while aboard amphibious transport dock ship USS John P. Murtha (LPD 26) during their midshipmen cruise during Underway Recovery Test (URT) 10, July 30, 2023. The midshipmen cruise is an opportunity for future officers to get acclimated to shipboard life. 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.
