    USS San Diego conducts flight operations with NASA for Underway Recovery Test 11

    NASA Air Operations Lead Chad Copeland, a native of Orlando (left), and NASA Chief Engineer for Astronaut Rapid Prototyping Lab Jeff Fox (right), a native of Houston, examine data from a computer module while seated inside an MH-60S Seahawk from Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 23 “Wildcards” during NASA’s Underway Recovery Test 11, Feb. 22, 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. Amphibious transport docks, like USS San Diego, have unique capabilities that make it an ideal partner to support NASA, including embarking helicopters, launching and recovering small boats, three dimensional air search radar and advanced medical facilities.
