NASA astronauts are being trained for lunar exploration by simulating moonwalks in volcanic fields and rugged deserts in Arizona. The training aims to prepare them for geology work in harsh conditions on the Moon's south pole. ESA and NASA astronauts also tested Lunar I-Hab, Europe's space module for the Gateway.
Preparing early-career planetary scientists for doing fieldwork on the Moon. Combination of on-the-ground fieldwork at Meteor Crater w/video conferencing explores ways for students to real-time collaborate with astronauts "on the ground". https://t.co/xrGMd3h0XN
Before going to the Moon, we need the human in the loop. @ESA and @NASA astronauts tested the ergonomics and habitability of Lunar I-Hab, Europe's space module for the Gateway. π° https://t.co/kmNzwCM81c πΈ by @Thales_Alenia_S https://t.co/M5geqwC4YV
NASA is gearing up for a monumental return to the moon, and the training for this historic mission is in full swing. In preparation for the Artemis 3 mission, NASA astronauts are simulating moonwalks in the rugged deserts of Northern Arizona. https://t.co/lBYtBc4eMH
NASA astronauts performed simulated lunar exploration in an Arizona volcanic field this month to help them prepare for doing geology in harsh conditions on the Moonβs south pole. @Nature reports on how NASA is preparing to send astronauts to the Moon. https://t.co/JRfeczOFJz
