    USS San Diego gets underway for NASA’s Underway Recovery Test 11

    Sailors assigned to USS San Diego (LPD 22) bring in a line on the ship’s forecastle while getting underway for NASA’s Underway Recovery Test 11, Feb. 21, 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.
