Chief Boatswain’s Mate Maurico Payne undoes straps to an 11-meter rigid-hull inflatable boat (RHIB), aboard the amphibious transport dock ship USS John P. Murtha (LPD 26) during Underway Recovery Test (URT) 10, July 25, 2023. The 11-meter RHIB is used to tow the Vehicle Advanced Demonstrator for Emergency Recovery, “VADR”, a replica of the crew module that will be used during Artemis II. In preparation for NASA's Artemis II crewed mission, which will send four astronauts in Orion beyond the Moon, NASA and the U.S. Navy will conduct a series of tests to demonstrate and evaluate the processes, procedures, and hardware used in recovery operations for crewed lunar missions. The U.S. Navy has many unique capabilities that make it an ideal partner to support NASA, including its amphibious capabilities with the ability to embark helicopters, launch and recover small boats, three-dimensional air search radar and advanced medical facilities.
