Throughout the innovative runs, teams will show innovation that might be used for future Artemis missions, such as display screen and navigation information stream capabilities in the form of a heads-up display using augmented truth or lighting beacons that might assist guide crew back to the lander.Ahead of the field test, the science team at Johnson which was competitively chosen and charged with establishing the science goals for the field test, followed a preparation process developed for Artemis missions. NASA will take these lessons and use them to operations for NASAs Artemis missions, business vendor development, and other technology development.This field test is the fifth in the series conducted by the Joint Extravehicular Activity and Human Surface Mobility Test Team led out of Johnson.
