The Artemis Project, an international lunar exploration project led by the United States, was training to recover a spacecraft at sea to return to Earth, and the training spacecraft and the navy ship used for recovery were shown to the press. Published on.
The American international lunar exploration program ``Artemis'', in which Japan also participates, is scheduled to conduct a test flight in which a spacecraft carrying astronauts will orbit the moon next year.
Prior to this test flight, a training exercise was held at sea to recover the spacecraft that will return to Earth after orbiting the moon. The training model and the Navy ship used in the recovery were shown to the press.
The training spacecraft is made to the same size as the real thing and is approximately 3 meters tall.
During the training, the recovery team approached a spacecraft carrying astronauts orbiting the moon by boat to confirm whether they could return safely.
A NASA official in charge of the training said, ``The four astronauts were seriously engaged in their training.I think they learned a lot through the training, and we would like to thank them for their feedback, which will help us succeed in our mission.'' "I'm doing it," he said.
