We’re just two lost souls swimming in a fishbowl.⁣ ⁣ Teams practiced #Artemis II recovery procedures off the coast of San Diego on Feb. 23, 2024. The teams included members of NASA’s Exploration Ground System’s Landing and Recovery team and partners from the DeptOfDefense.⁣ ⁣ After the Orion spacecraft travels around the Moon during the Artemis II mission, the capsule will splash down in the Pacific Ocean. This image is from the eleventh test in a series of Artemis recovery tests. This was also the first time NASA and its partners put their Artemis II recovery procedures to the test with the astronauts.⁣ ⁣ Image description: During sunrise over the Pacific Ocean, the USS San Diego and the Crew Module Test Article can be seen floating on the reflective blue water. The USS San Diego is a large ship in the background. The Crew Module Test Article is a mockup of the Orion spacecraft, floating in the foreground. The sky is a hazy blue with clouds.⁣ ⁣ Credit: NASA/Kenny Allen⁣ ⁣ #WishYouWere...
