This is one of our favorite Orion parachute test photos, backdropped by hills in the Arizona desert. This shot was taken last month when NASA successfully tested the Orion spacecraft’s parachute system at the U.S. Army Proving Ground in Yuma, Arizona. We're now just 2 tests away from qualifying the parachute system for flights with crew.
