NASA Uses Rocky Mountain Helicopter Drills to Prepare Astronauts for Artemis Moon Missions

NASA Stennis provides ideal setting for range operations - SuperTalk Mississippi

Think of NASA’s Stennis Space Center, and one likely thinks of rocket propulsion testing. The site has a long history of testing to support the nation’s space efforts, including the current Artemis program to send astronauts to the Moon to prepare for future human exploration of Mars. However, NASA Stennis also is working to become a key supporter of more terrestrial exploration. Indeed, in terms of unmanned range operations, NASA Stennis has it…

NASA Astronauts Practice Landing Procedures for The Moon | Artemis MissionsNASA has certified a new lander flight training course using helicopters in the mountains of northern Colorado. The agency has partnered with the Colorado Army National Guard at the High-Altitude Army National Guard Aviation Training Site near Gypsum, Colorado, to develop the foundational flight training course to help astronauts practice flight and landing procedures for…

NASA Uses Rocky Mountain Helicopter Drills to Prepare Astronauts for Artemis Moon Missions

NASA has certified a helicopter-based lander training course in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains to prepare Artemis astronauts for Moon missions. The high-altitude terrain creates lunar-like visual illusions, forcing pilots to master landings in dusty, slope-filled conditions. Over two dozen astronauts have now trained in this challenging, realistic simulation.
