Explore the incredible journey of Troy Juniel, a dedicated KBR employee who helped collect the oldest ice core ever found in Antarctica! His inspiring story showcases the vital role of logistics and support in scientific research.

KBR's Jackie Kagey traveled to the Iceland Highlands to participate in an event that simulated lunar conditions for the Artemis III mission. This event was part of the EVA and Human Surface Mobility Program (EHP), which was conducted in collaboration with NASA's Science Mission Directorate (SMD) and the Artemis II crewmembers.   Also used as a training ground for the Apollo missions, the Iceland Highlands resemble the surface of the Moon. Here, they conducted training for geology science and navigation training, demonstrated training readiness levels, and captured lessons learned to improve the training curriculum. The trip strengthened external partnerships and exercised the required logistics support for this high-fidelity lunar-like terrain.   After several days of rigorous training and expeditionary exploration, the team culminated their efforts with a capstone exercise alongside the Artemis II crew. This exercise allowed them to apply their training in a mock EVA with real science targets in a realistic setting. The team's successful completion of all primary objectives is a testament to their readiness for the Artemis III mission.
