Orion Heat Shield Analysis Work Nears Conclusion
Huntsville AL (SPX) May 31, 2015
The harsh buzz of powered cutting tools reverberates in the close air of Building 4705 at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, as a dozen or so technicians and engineers work to remove burnt ablative material - the incinerated outer layer of a spacecraft's heat shield - from the massive, dish-shaped structure at the center of the facility. The team includes researchers from three NASA field centers, each supporting development of the Orion crew module, the exploration spacec ... read more
