## Caption

NEEMO 15 Commander Shannon Walker of NASA and fellow aquanaut David Saint-Jacques (Canadian Space Agency) used a small telescoping boom as a means of translating across a simulated asteroid surface. Each end of the small boom can be anchored to the surface by either magnets or tethers and the astronauts can traverse the surface by alternating anchor points. NEEMO, which stands for NASA Extreme Environment Mission Operations, is one facet of NASA's Analog and Field Testing Missions. As NASA plans to expand future human spaceflight and robotic exploration beyond low Earth orbit, astronauts are being trained to meet these challenges.
