We’re on a journey to send humans deeper into space than ever before – the spacecraft these future astronauts will travel in is called Orion. Today, we gathered at the U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground in Arizona to test the Orion spacecraft’s parachute system. NASA astronauts Butch Willmore and Steve Bowen, along with EM-1 Mission Manager Mike Sarafin, media, and technical support teams were in attendance. We’ll be giving it another go Thursday, December 14, 2017, at 11:35 EST. Please stay tuned tomorrow morning to this feed and to Orion’s Facebook page for social media activities related to this test > facebook.com/nasaorion Credit: NASA #nasa #orion #usarmy #yuma #yumaprovingground #sonorandesert #parachutes #engineering #technology #spaceexploration
