About this work
Astronaut Stephen Bowen checks out the choppy sea conditions as part of Underway Recovery Test 6 aboard the USS Anchorage. Bowen is an observer of the testing—giving an astronaut’s perspective to Kennedy Space Center’s NASA Recovery Team. The purpose of testing is to perfect recovery efforts to minimize impact to astronauts like Bowen once they have splashed down in the Pacific Ocean inside the Orion capsule.
