Moonwalk practice 🌝 In October 2022, the Joint Extravehicular Activity and Human Surface Mobility Test Team (JETT) Field Test 3 simulated four moonwalks over the course of four nights with lighting conditions representative of a lunar mission. Two @NASAAstronauts, Zena Cardman (@zenanaut) and Drew Feustel (@Astro_feustel), 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. On the moonwalks, the crew was expected to assess the outcrop of rocks, lay out markers, and successfully collect the samples with no contamination using specially designed tools. To help teams practice navigating the terrain with limited information during the mission, their maps contained details similar to data provided by NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. The lessons learned and data collected during this simulated mission will help teams develop and adapt moonwalking plans and equipment for @NASA’s #Artemis III mission.
