Testing completed on Orion service module

14-12-2016 12:13 PM CET


On Monday ESA handed over ownership of the Orion European Service Module test article to NASA at the agency's Plum Brook facility – marking the end of individual testing for the structure.

The module sits directly below Orion's crew capsule and provides propulsion, power, thermal control, and water and air for four astronauts. The solar array spans 19 m and provides enough electricity to power two households.
