Our Orion spacecraft, which will carry humans on deep space missions, including a journey to Mars, underwent a water drop test today at the Hydro Impact Basin at our Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia. Orion has been undergoing a series of water impact tests to help engineers understand how to best protect the crew and spacecraft when they return to Earth from deep space missions. The test capsule, coupled with the heat shield from Orion's first spaceflight, will swung like a pendulum into Langley's 20-foot-deep basin. Inside the capsule were two test dummies - one representing a 105-pound woman and the other, a 220-pound man -- outfitted in spacesuits equipped with sensors. These sensors will provide critical data that will help us understand the forces crew members could experience when they splash down in the ocean. Water impact testing is helping us evaluate how Orion may behave when landing under its parachutes in different wind conditions and wave heights.
