NASA Television Video File - Orion Gulf Of MexicoTest
About this film
A NASA and Department of Defense team evaluated the techniques that will be used to make sure astronauts can exit Orion in a variety of scenarios upon splashdown after deep space missions, using the waters off the coast of Galveston, Texas, to test their procedures the week of July 10. During the testing, the team used a mockup of the spacecraft to examine how crew will get out of Orion with assistance and alone, should splashdown conditions ever require it. Astronauts and engineering test subjects participated in the evaluations. The testing is helping NASA prepare for Orion and Space Launch System missions with crew beginning with Exploration Mission-2. Note: this video does not contain audio.
