19K. In early December, NASA’s Orion Program completed a “Delta” Critical Design Review (CDR) of the crewed spacecraft configuration that will first fly on Exploration Mission-2 (EM-2).

NASA tested a boilerplate version of the Orion spacecraft in December 2014, launching it to an altitude of nearly 6,000 km. From that orbit Orion reentered Earth's atmosphere at a velocity of 9 km/s.

It went fast. Early on Tuesday morning, a former Peacekeeper missile lofted a boilerplate Orion spacecraft to an altitude just shy of 10km before a powerful escape motor fired. Amid the smoke, the ...
