Commander Moonikin Campos, the manikin that flew on the #Artemis I mission, is back from vacation and is working as a crash test dummy.

Not the Moon, for sure, but he continues to inform our understanding of the experience of flying inside @NASA_Orion: https://go.nasa.gov/45d0urw

Always be prepared!

NASA’s Search and Rescue team participated in the Underway Recovery Test 10 to validate the #Artemis II astronauts’ beacons, which allow recovery teams to locate the crew should they need to egress from @NASA_Orion. https://go.nasa.gov/3OihJ3W

One small step.

OTD 54 years ago, Apollo 11 crewmembers became the first human beings to set foot on the lunar surface.

Today, we’re building on the legacy of Apollo as we prepare to establish a long-term human infrastructure on the Moon with #Artemis. #InternationalMoonDay
