Orion Recovery Team Sets Off

A helicopter lands on the flight deck of the USS Anchorage as the Navy ship makes its way to the recovery zone for NASA's Orion spacecraft on Dec. 1, 2014. Orion is scheduled to launch on Exploration Flight Test-1 (EFT-1) from Florida on Dec. 4, and splashdown 4.5 hours later in the Pacific Ocean, where it will be picked up by the Anchorage.
