About this work
Exploration Flight Test-1 (EFT-1) Orion's launch abort system, or LAS, is positioned atop the crew and service module in the Launch Abort System Facility (LASF) at Kennedy Space Center on Oct. 3, 2014, in preparation for rollout to mate with the Delta IV Heavy launch vehicle. The LAS is designed to activate within milliseconds to pull the crew module to safety in case of an emergency.
