Jaclyn Kagey is instrumental in shaping the return of humanity to the Moon. As the Artemis III extravehicular activity lead in NASA’s Flight Operations Directorate, Kagey plays a vital role in preparing astronauts for missions to the lunar surface. She is responsible for planning detailed spacewalk timelines and guiding real-time operations for astronauts working on the Moon after stepping outside NASA’s human landing system, a commercial lander designed for safe astronaut transportation.
Kagey trains in NASA’s Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory alongside astronauts and flight controllers to simulate spacewalk procedures in a microgravity environment. Her expertise and dedication ensure that astronauts are fully prepared for the challenges of working on the Moon, contributing to the success of humanity’s return to our celestial neighbor.
