(NASA) – Two Joint Extravehicular Activity Test Team Field Test #3 mission members work on sample collection on the remote, rocky, high-desert terrain of the S P Crater near Flagstaff, Arizona, on Oct. 5, 2022.

JETT3 was the third simulated moonwalk in preparation for future Artemis missions; during Artemis III, astronauts will visit the lunar South Pole region, which has never been explored by humans.

The S P Crater has unique terrain and geology, as well as minimal communications infrastructure that makes it a great location for an analog mission.
