A Deep Dive into Artemis Training

In NASA’s Neutral Buoyancy Lab at Johnson Space Center in Houston, teams are in the early stages of evaluating how astronauts would move around, set up habitats, collect samples and deploy experiments on the Moon in preparation for future missions on the lunar surface, beginning with Artemis III in 2024. In the agency’s massive pool primarily used for spacewalk training, NASA astronauts wore weighted vests and backpacks to simulate a spacewalk in the 1/6th gravity environment on the Moon.
