Chute for the Moon! πŸͺ‚πŸŒ– In this image, two USAirForce pararescue jumpers descend to the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of NASAKennedy after jumping out of a C-17 aircraft. This exercise, which took place on June 12, 2025, was part of a joint NASA and DeptofDefense rehearsal of Artemis rescue procedures in the event of an ascent abort. Image description: The background is a light blue sky with a single white wispy cloud. Two United States Air Force pararescue jumpers drift through the air via neon orange parachutes. The men are wearing fins to help them traverse the water after they splash into the Atlantic ocean near Kennedy Space Center in Florida. These pararescuemen are part of a joint NASA and Department of Defense rehearsal to practice operations in the event of an ascent abort during Artemis II launch.
