Artemis 2 crew begin moonwalk training after April 11 splashdown
Technology
The Artemis 2 crew, Jeremy Hansen, Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, just wrapped up their historic trip farther from Earth than anyone since Apollo.
After splashing down safely on April 11, they're now jumping into moonwalk training to get ready for future lunar missions.
Artemis 2 rehearses low gravity maneuvers
The team is practicing on rocky terrain that mimic the Moon's surface, working out how to move and handle gear in low gravity.
Their drills are all about turning what they learned from Artemis 2 into real skills for upcoming missions, especially Artemis 3, which aims to land the first woman and first person of color on the Moon.
Hansen noted that they are pushing through these sessions while the experience is still fresh.
