Our Orion spacecraft is kicking off summer with a series of tests for the craft’s critical safety systems. In the Utah desert, the skies over Arizona and the water at Johnson Space Center in Houston, we’re making sure Orion is safe from launch to splashdown. The craft will take humans farther than ever before into deep space. It will also provide emergency abort capability, sustain the crew during the space travel, and provide safe re-entry from deep space. Learn more: http://go.nasa.gov/2tej3dB
