Four nights. Four simulated moonwalks. One mission.
The Joint Extravehicular Activity and Human Surface Mobility Test Team (JETT) Field Test 3 wrapped up this week. Two NASA astronauts traversed the lunar-like environment of the San Francisco Volcanic Field located north of Flagstaff, Arizona.
A science evaluation team and flight control team supported the astronauts from the Mission Control Center at @NASAJohnson Space Center in Houston. The lessons learned and data collected during this simulated mission will enable teams to develop and adapt moonwalking plans and equipment for NASA’s #Artemis III mission.
In this image, @NASAAstronauts Zena Cardman (@zenanaut) and Drew Feustel (@Astro_Feustel) wear mockup spacesuits after performing an engineering test run before a week of simulated moonwalks. The skeletal shape of the suits provided mobility restrictions similar to wearing a pressurized spacesuit on the lunar surface.
