A #photograph of the lower section of an #Orion #crew #capsule in a work platform at the old “Manned Spaceflight Operations Center” at #KSC, now the #NeilArmstrong Operations and Checkout Building.
The new Orion integration pathway allows the Orion #spacecraft to be assembled, stacked on the #EuropeanServiceModule, and readied for #flight atop an #SLS #rocket.
