NASA，合作伙伴测试阿尔忒弥斯2号回收程序

Members of NASA’s Exploration Ground System’s Landing and Recovery team work to secure the Crew Module Test Article and align it on its stand inside the ship’s well deck in this image from Feb. 22, 2024. Underway Recovery Test 11 is the eleventh in a series of Artemis recovery tests, and the first time NASA and its partners put their Artemis II recovery procedures to the test with the astronauts.

These tests demonstrate the procedures and hardware needed to retrieve NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen after their approximately 10-day, 685,000-mile journey beyond the lunar far side and back.

Artemis II is the first crewed mission under NASA’s Artemis campaign and will test the agency’s Orion spacecraft life support systems needed for future lunar missions.

这些测试展示了在NASA宇航员里德·怀斯曼、维克多·格洛弗、克里斯蒂娜·科赫和加拿大航天局宇航员杰里米·汉森进行了大约10天、685,000英里的月球远端和返回之旅后，将他们回收所需的程序和硬件。

阿尔忒弥斯2号是NASA阿尔忒弥斯计划下的第一个载人任务，将测试该机构未来月球任务所需的猎户座航天器生命支持系统。
