About this work
SAN DIEGO, Calif. – Inside the well deck of the U.S. Navy's USS Anchorage, the Orion boilerplate test vehicle has been moved from its cradle onto a set of rubber shock absorbers as part of Underway Recovery Test 2. Testing of the tether lines attached to Orion is underway. NASA, Lockheed Martin and the U.S. Navy are conducting the test in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Diego to prepare for recovery of the Orion crew module on its return from a deep space mission.
