A test version of Orion awaits the next round of recovery tests inside of the USS Anchorage's well deck as the ship travels off the coast of California on Sept. 15, 2014. The well deck can be flooded with water to allow Orion to float in following its splashdown when it returns from space. Part of Batch image transfer from Flickr.
