If you've ever been to NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida, you probably know that the surrounding area is really quite beautiful, as is evident in this aerial shot. This photo shows NASA's Orion crew module, enclosed in its transportation fixture and secured on a flatbed truck, passing the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex on its way to the entrance gate to Kennedy Space Center. In view is the Space Shuttle Atlantis facility. Orion made the 2,700 mile overland trip from Naval Base San Diego in California. The spacecraft was recovered from the Pacific Ocean after completing a two-orbit, four-and-a-half hour mission Dec. 5 to test systems critical to crew safety, including the launch abort system, the heat shield and the parachute system. The Ground Systems Development and Operations Program led the recovery, offload and transportation efforts. For more information, visit nasa.gov/orion.
