Astronauts Test Tools Spacesuits Facilities in Preparation for Moonwalks

NASA Tests Tools, Spacesuits, Facilities to Prepare for Moonwalks

At NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, teams are testing tools and developing training approaches for moonwalks astronauts will conduct on the lunar surface during Artemis missions. As part of a test series that occurred in August and September 2020, astronauts in a demonstration version of NASA’s exploration spacesuit and engineers in “hard hat” dive equipment simulated several different tasks crew could do on the surface of the Moon. The tests focused on evaluating Johnson’s facilities for Artemis spacewalk testing, development, and crew training.
