NASA's Orion spacecraft that flew Exploration Flight Test-1 on Dec. 5, 2014 is seen on the South Lawn of the White House, Sunday, July 22, 2018 in Washington, DC. More than 1,000 companies across the country manufactured or contributed elements to the spacecraft. Now more than 3,200 companies in all fifty states, and several European countries are hard at work building NASA’s Deep Space Exploration System including the Orion spacecraft, Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, and Exploration Ground Systems at Kennedy Space Center. Sky. Space. Stars. As a nation, we are building the capability to explore deep space – to the Moon and beyond.
