Latest On NASA's Orion Manned Spacecraft

Hey Space Placers!

NASA's newest manned spacecraft, Orion, is continuing to prepare for missions to the Moon, asteroids and Mars.

NASA completed a key milestone recently that will move Orion closer to its upcoming test flights, EM-1 and EM-2.

Actual building of the Orion spacecraft for the EM-1 mission has started at Michoud Assembly Facility (MAF) in New Orleans, LA. I visited MAF a year ago and it is quite the facility.

Let's hope that Congress funds NASA adequately and that the new president doesn't change the manned space program.
