It is a huge challenge to send astronauts to the Moon, but it is also critical to bring them home safely. NASA EDGE’s Blair Allen talks with Christine St. Germain, NASA’s Test Director for Landing and Recovery at KSC, about the Orion Underway Recovery Tests (URT) for the Orion spacecraft. The URTs are complex simulations of how the Orion spacecraft performs in open water after landing at sea. Plus, both NASA and the NAVY practice multiple spacecraft recovery techniques in the process. Christine moves all of the chess pieces around to get the performance data from the URTs to help NASA engineers prepare the Orion for mission success from launch all the way to landing!
