    DoD and NASA pose for a photo while underway during Underway Recovery Test 11

    Department of Defense personnel from USS San Diego (LPD 22), Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 23, Explosive Ordnance Disposal Expeditionary Mobile Unit 1, First Air Force, Detachment 3, and 45th Space Launch Delta Weather Squadron pose for a photo with NASA personnel and the crew of Artemis II on the ship’s flight deck while underway for NASA’s Underway Recovery Test 11, Feb. 26, 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.
