About this work
SAN DIEGO, Calif. – The well deck of the USS San Diego fills with water and surrounds the Orion boilerplate test article and other hardware as the underway recovery test begins in the Pacific Ocean, about 100 miles off the coast of San Diego, California. NASA and the U.S. Navy conducted tests to prepare for the recovery of the Orion crew module, forward bay cover and parachutes on its return from a deep space mission.
