The ogive panels protect Orion's crew module from harsh acoustic conditions at launch and in case of an abort. Acoustic testing of the ogive hatch starts today at Space Power Facility at NASA Glenn Research Center's Plum Brook station in Sandusky, Ohio. The ogive is installed in the Reverberant Acoustic Chamber where it will be blasted with 161 db of sound to simulate launch conditions.
