In 2019, NASA continued to build, test and fly Orion hardware and systems needed for missions to the Moon, and ultimately, Mars. Orion will launch on NASA’s Space Launch System rocket from nasakennedy in Florida and transport crew to the Gateway in lunar orbit.

From water recovery evaluations and an ascent abort scenario test flight to crew module assembly and testing activities, progress on Orion brings the agency closer to sending the first woman and next man to the Moon by 2024 as part of the Artemis program. Slide through to see favorite pics from 2019 that tell the story of the spacecraft’s busy year!
