About this work
SAN DIEGO, Calif. – On the third day of Underway Recovery Test 4A in the Pacific Ocean, the Orion boilerplate test vehicle has been lifted out of the water and placed in a cradle in the USS Salvor, a safeguard-class rescue and salvage ship, using a stationary crane. NASA, Lockheed Martin and the U.S. Navy are testing crane recovery operations to prepare for recovery of the Orion crew module on its return from a deep space mission.
