About this work
SAN DIEGO, Calif. – At Naval Base San Diego in California, the Orion boilerplate test vehicle has been lowered by crane into the USS Salvor, a safeguard-class rescue and salvage ship that will be used for Underway Recovery Test 4A. The ship will head out to sea for four days to test crew module crane recovery operations. NASA, Lockheed Martin and the U.S. Navy are conducting the test to prepare for recovery of the Orion crew module on its return from a deep space mission.
