U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Omar Elizondo, assigned to the 45th Weather Squadron, launches a weather balloon from amphibious transport dock ship USS John P. Murtha (LPD 26) April 7, 2026. John P. Murtha is underway in the U.S. 3rd Fleet area of operations supporting NASA’s Artemis II mission, retrieving the crew and spacecraft following their return to Earth and splashdown in the Pacific Ocean. NASA’s Artemis II mission sent four astronauts on a flight around the moon in the Orion space capsule, marking the first time humans journeyed to deep space in over 50 years.
