A Sailor is recovered by an MH-60S Seahawk from the “front porch,” an inflatable life raft that wraps around the Orion capsule, during maritime recovery training in San Diego Bay with Sailors attached to amphibious transport dock USS Somerset (LPD 25), Explosive Ordnance Disposal Group 1, Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 23 “Wildcards,” and NASA personnel, March 19, 2025. In preparation for NASA's Artemis II crewed mission, which will send four astronauts around the Moon and beyond in the Orion spacecraft, NASA and the Department of Defense will conduct a series of tests to demonstrate and evaluate the processes, procedures, and hardware used in recovery operations for crewed lunar missions. The DoD has many unique capabilities that make it an ideal partner to support NASA, including its amphibious ships with the ability to embark helicopters, launch and recover small boats and provide medical care at advanced onboard facilities.
