The drills represented a dress rehearsal for Artemis II, a NASA mission in which four astronauts will fly to the moon then loop home in late 2024
NASA’s quest to send astronauts to the moon in a tiny spacecraft that later returns to Earth and parachutes into the Pacific Ocean has gotten a big lift from the Navy, which safely recovered a capsule and four stand-in crew members numerous times last week during drills off San Diego.
The joint drills by the Navy, NASA and Air Force occurred during the day and at night near Santa Catalina Island, and each was safely completed within an allotted two-hour time period, officials said. Last week’s drills were more complicated because people were placed in the capsule after it was situated in the water.
