    USS San Diego and Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 23 conduct air rescue training for NASA’s Underway Recovery Test 11

    An air rescue swimmer lowers from an MH-60S Seahawk assigned to Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 23 “Wildcards” to a life raft while underway with USS San Diego (LPD 22) for NASA’s Underway Recovery Test 11, Feb. 23, 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 many 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.
