Abstract

The Department of Defense has a long history of supporting the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) crewed missions to space. This includes the recently launched Artemis I, part of the mission that intends to send humans back to the Moon after more than 50 years. Rescue and recovery of astronauts upon splashing down at sea present logistical challenges and may exacerbate specific health concerns related to space travel and extended time spent in microgravity environments. In this article, we explore the evolution of the collaboration between the Department of Defense and NASA, and we describe the role of the US military in supporting NASA as it seeks to send humans to the Moon and beyond.

美国国防部长期以来一直支持美国国家航空航天局（NASA）的载人太空任务。这包括最近发射的 "阿耳特弥斯一号"，它是打算在 50 多年后将人类送回月球的任务的一部分。宇航员在海上溅落时的救援和回收是一项后勤挑战，可能会加剧与太空旅行和长时间微重力环境有关的特定健康问题。在这篇文章中，我们探讨了美国国防部与美国国家航空航天局之间合作的演变过程，并介绍了美国军方在支持美国国家航空航天局将人类送往月球及更远的地方方面所发挥的作用。
