NASA's Ground Systems Development and Operations Program and the U.S. Navy prepare for another day of Underway Recovery Test 5 in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California. A test version of the Orion crew module is in the well deck of the ship, and U.S. Navy divers and other personnel are in rigid hull inflatable boats preparing to head out into the open water. The recovery team is conducting a series of tests to prepare for recovery of Orion on its return from deep space missions. The testing will allow the team to demonstrate and evaluate recovery processes, procedures, hardware and personnel in open waters. Orion is the exploration spacecraft designed to carry astronauts to destinations not yet explored by humans, including an asteroid and NASA's Journey to Mars. It will have emergency abort capability, sustain the crew during space travel and provide safe re-entry from deep space return velocities. Orion is scheduled to launch on NASA's Space Launch System in late 2018. For more information, visit http://www.nasa.gov/orion.
