Behind the Scenes of a NASA ‘Moonwalk’ in the Arizona Desert
NASA astronauts Kate Rubins and Andre Douglas recently performed four moonwalk simulations to help NASA prepare for its Artemis III mission. Due to launch in September 2026, Artemis III will land two, yet-to-be-selected, astronauts at the Moons South Pole for the first time. Traveling to space requires immense preparation, not just for the astronauts, but . https://science.nasa.gov/m...#nasa #space #news #nasa_get_involved #nasa_murep #nasa_artemis #nasa_artemis_3 #nasa_astronauts #nasa_candidate_astronauts #nasa_humans_in_space #nasa_johnson_space_center #nasa_missions #nasa_commercial_resupply #nasa_commercial_space #nasa_iss_research #nasa_night_sky_network #nasa_science_ &_research #nasa_learning_resources #nasa_perseverance_ (rover) #nasa_smallsats_program #nasa_for_researchers #nasa_technology_research #nasa_2023_solar_eclipse #nasa_2024_solar_eclipse #nasa_earth_science #nasa_heliophysics #nasa_science_activation
