NASA’s Johnson Space Center is the center of activity leading the design and build up for a critical safety test of America’s new exploration spacecraft.  An Orion crew module was delivered to Houston last week for assembly and outfitting for the April 2019 Ascent Abort-2 test, to demonstrate the ability of the spacecraft’s Launch Abort System to pull the crew module to safety if an emergency ever arises during ascent to space.  Doing this work at JSC is part of a lean approach to development, to minimize cost and schedule risks associated with the test.
