Three small boats manned by U.S. Navy Sailors assigned to Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit 1 and San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock ship USS San Diego (LPD 22) operate during NASA’s Underway Recovery Test 11, Feb. 24, 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.
