Orion: Lessons Learned from EFT-1 and, EM-1, AA-2, and EM-2 status

摘要

Orion, the Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle, is a key piece of the NASA human exploration architecture for beyond earth orbit (BEO). Lockheed Martin was awarded the contracts for the design, development, test, and production planning for Orion through the Exploration Mission 2 (EM-2) in 2021. Numerous lessons have been learned from this development program and allowed NASA and Lockheed Martin to optimize the Orion design for future flights to increase crew safety, lower mass, lower cost, and shorten production schedules.
