Summary
| Description | Propulsion test that simulates an abort-to-orbit scenario in which the spacecraft’s service module must place Orion in a safe orbit because of a problem after the abort system has been jettisoned. The recent Ascent Abort-2 test proved Orion’s launch abort system works during the climb to orbit. This ground-based test will use a qualification unit of the service module propulsion system to fire the Orbital Maneuvering System engine, eight auxiliary thrusters and six reaction control thrusters. |
