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.
The
#LaunchAbortSystem integrated in a separate facility since the
#LAS contains solid fueled rockets already. The stack is then integrated on top of SLS inside the Vehicle Assembly Building
#VAB and then rolled out to
#LC39B on the
#Crawler-Transporter for
#launch.
The O&C building, VAB, Crawler-Transporter, and LC-29B
#infrastructure all have
#Apollo-era heritage.
