About this work

At Launch Complex 46 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, the vertical integration facility rolls back from the Ascent Abort-2 test vehicle on July 1, 2019. A fully functional Launch Abort System (LAS) mated to a test version of the Orion spacecraft are on a Northrop Grumman provided booster on the pad for launch on NASA’s AA-2 flight test on July 2, 2019. During AA-2, the booster will send the LAS and Orion to an altitude of 31,000 feet, traveling at more than 1,000 mph.
