Orion Flight Test

The Orion Flight Test is a key step in developing NASA's spacecraft designed for deep space exploration. It involves launching Orion to verify its performance, safety systems, and reliability in a real flight environment. During the test, engineers assess how well the spacecraft handles launch conditions, re-entry, and other critical phases. Successful testing helps ensure Orion can carry astronauts safely to destinations like the Moon or Mars. These tests are essential for advancing space exploration capabilities and building confidence in the spacecraft’s design before crewed missions.
