US Army Europe Best Warrior Logo

 
Allied Spirit is a U.S. Army exercise for multinational partners, conducted at 7th Army Training Command training areas at Grafenwoehr and Hohenfels, Germany.
 
Unlike other USAREUR-AF exercises, which feature U.S. brigade combat teams in a lead role augmented by Allies and partners, Allied Spirit places an Allied unit as the main training audience. While U.S.-led, this exercise will develop and enhance NATO and key partner interoperability and readiness across specified warfighting functions.

NRL fungal experiment launches as Artemis I payload
U.S. Naval Research Laboratory
Aug. 26, 2022 | 1:40
Why do we need fungus in space? The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) is teaming up with @NASA@European Space Agency, ESA to launch samples of their fungi into the cosmos... catching a ride on the Artemis I mission, scheduled to blast off for orbit to the moon Aug. 29.

The experiment will use samples of fungi to investigate effects of the deep space radiation environment outside of Earth’s protective magnetosphere.

While NRL has a long history in space exploration, stretching back to the V-2 rocket test in the late 1940s, this experiment marks a first in space for the Lab. The fungal experiment will become the first biological project performed at NRL to be launched to space.

After the Orion spacecraft completes its mission the fungal samples will be returned to NRL for a thorough analysis.
