About this work
Recovery team members in rigid-hulled inflatable boats approach NASA's Orion spacecraft following its splashdown in the Pacific Ocean. Orion launched into space on a two-orbit, 4.5-test flight at 7:05 am EST on Dec. 5, and returned safely to Earth, where a combined team from NASA, the Navy and Orion prime contractor Lockheed Martin retrieved it for return to shore. It's now being transported back to shore on board the U.S. Navy's USS Anchorage.
