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. Credit: NASA/Bill Stafford #Moonwalk #NASA #Astronaut #Spacesu...
