Recovery Training From Splash with Artemis

The crew of the Artemis II mission, which will be the first crewed mission to the Moon in over 50 years, rehearsed their recovery procedures in a pool at NASA's Johnson Space Center.
The crew practiced being extracted from the spacecraft after it splashes down in the Pacific Ocean and being lifted to a recovery ship by helicopter. They also practiced undergoing routine medical checks before returning to shore.
The recovery training was led by teams from NASA and the Department of Defense. It is important to practice these procedures so that the crew can be safely recovered as soon as possible after their mission.
The Artemis II mission is a critical step in NASA's plan to establish a long-term presence on the Moon. By rehearsing their recovery procedures, the crew is ensuring that they are ready to safely return to Earth after their mission.
