Artemis 2: CPR Training En Route to the Moon

The article reports on the activities of the Artemis 2 astronauts during their 10-day mission around the moon. Following a busy first two days that included launch and critical engine burns, Flight Day 3 focuses on more relaxed activities, including rehearsing zero-gravity life-saving techniques. Specifically, Glover, Koch, and Hansen will demonstrate CPR procedures in space, while Wiseman and Glover will check out Orion's medical kit, including the thermometer, blood pressure monitor, stethoscope, and otoscope. The astronauts will also rehearse photography and lunar observations planned for Flight Day 6. The mission marks the first time since 1972 that astronauts have flown so far from Earth. Glover also manually flew the Orion spacecraft within 50 feet of the SLS upper stage to test its thruster control. The focus on medical preparedness highlights the importance of ensuring crew safety during long-duration space missions, where access to immediate medical assistance is limited. The successful completion of these tests contributes to the overall shakedown cruise of the Orion spacecraft.
