About this work

A view from inside the cargo bay of NASA’s Super Guppy aircraft reveals that the shipping container with the Orion heat shield for Exploration Mission 1 (EM-1) was offloaded at the Shuttle Landing Facility, managed and operated by Space Florida, at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The heat shield will be transported to the Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building high bay for processing. The heat shield arrived from Lockheed Martin’s manufacturing facility near Denver.
