3MTM PELTORTM Headsets Used On NASA's Artemis II Mission To The Moon

As a part of NASA's Artemis II mission, the crew of the Orion capsule are using 3MTM PELTORTM ComTacTM VI Tactical Headsets for communication. Artemis II is NASA's first crewed mission of the Artemis program which sent four astronauts on a lunar flyby. It's part of the space agency's work to establish a sustained human presence on the Moon and prepare for future missions to Mars. The crew launched on April 1 and will splashdown April 10 in the Pacific Ocean near San Diego.

3M's PELTORTM ComTacTM VI Headsets feature technologies that can help enable communications in challenging environments. Their omnidirectional environmental microphones can sense surrounding sounds, amplify weak sounds to an audible level and automatically compressing loud noise to help users stay aware of what's happening around them. The headset boom microphone uses noise-canceling technology that transmits the user's voice while filtering out background noise, keeping speech clear even in high noise environments.

This isn't the first time 3M products have made their way into a NASA mission.

In 1969, 3M products were used by astronauts in the first moon landing, including 3MTM FluorelTM Elastomer, a synthetic rubber used in the astronaut's boots worn inside the space capsule.
