Jessica Meir(@Astro_Jessica):When our @NASAArtemis missions land on the Moon, we need to be ready to take manual control for a successful landing. For the Manual Piloting study, I flew this landing simulator before and immediately after spaceflight to assess if any changes associated with cognitive function or gravity affected my performance. Thankfully, I was able to land successfully even just two hours after we splashed down!
