Orion’s escape, “Inferno”

Orion and ESA Service Module (2017) by okan170

In Earth orbit, the EM-2 Orion spacecraft prepares to preform its TLI burn to take its crew on a Lunar flyby.  Showing recent service module updates, signage (though the ESA logo is speculative) and solar arrays more closely matched to the hardware taking shape in real life!

Photos from today’s launch of the Orion Delta IV. Almost ready to deploy chutes as I type this. Great stuff.

Check out this fantastic inforgraphic from NASA profiling the steps in the first test flight of the Orion spacecraft. The mission will be a significant step toward sending humans father than they have ever gone before.
