Lockheed Martin Engineers at NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans, Louisiana, perform the first weld on the Orion pressure vessel for Exploration Mission 1. This is the third pressure Orion pressure vessel built. Engineers continue to refine the design reducing the number of welds from 33 on the first pressure vessel to 7 on the current one, saving 700 pounds of mass.

140625-N-GO855-145 Yuma Proving Grounds, AZ (June 25, 2014) – This imagery documents the Forward Bay Cover (FBC) jettison and descent during Capsule Parachute Assembly System (CPAS) Cluster Development Test 3-14 (CDT 3-14) on June 25, 2014 at Yuma Proving Grounds (YPG) in Yuma, AZ. The imagery was captured onboard a Navy MH-60S (SEAHAWK) helicopter, tail number Loosefoot-614 (also known as “Helo B”), at an altitude of approximately 10,000 feet mean sea level (MSL).

PACIFIC OCEAN (Dec. 5, 2014) – Navy Divers, assigned to Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit 11 (EODMU11), Mobile Dive and Salvage Company 11‐7, recover NASA’s Orion Crew Module descends to the Pacific Ocean under its three main parachutes as part of the Orion Program’s first exploration flight test. USS Anchorage (LPD 23) is currently conducting the first exploration test flight for the NASA Orion Program. EFT-1 is the fifth at sea testing of the Orion Crew Module using a Navy well deck recovery method. (U.S. Navy Photo by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Gary Keen/Not Reviewed For Released)

The United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy rocket with NASA’s Orion spacecraft mounted atop, lifts off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station’s Space Launch Complex 37 at at 7:05 a.m. EST, Friday, Dec. 5, 2014, in Florida. The Orion spacecraft orbited Earth twice, reaching an altitude of approximately 3,600 miles above Earth before landing in the Pacific Ocean. No one was aboard Orion for this flight test, but the spacecraft is designed to allow us to journey to destinations never before visited by humans, including an asteroid and Mars.
