19 FEB 2014 The Underway Recovery Test for NASA's Orion Program is in progress aboard USS San Diego (LPD 22). Welcome aboard, NASA!
The Orion boilerplate test article awaits loading on to the USS San Diego in preparation for the underway recovery test. During the recovery test in San Diego, the spacecraft will be set adrift in open and unstable waters, providing NASA and the Navy the opportunity to recover the capsule into the well deck of the USS San Diego. While deployed, the team will seek out various sea states in which to practice the capsule recovery procedure in an effort to build their knowledge base of how the capsule recovery differs in calm and rough seas and what are the true physical limits.
