About this work
Following more than four hours in Earth orbit, NASA's Orion spacecraft is seen from an unpiloted aircraft as it descends under three massive red and white main parachutes after Exploration Flight Test-1 (EFT-1) on Dec. 5, 2014. Splashdown in the Pacific Ocean will take place at less than 20 mph. It will be recovered by the USS Anchorage, a landing platform-dock, or LPD, ship. Part of Batch image transfer from Flickr.
