CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – In the Operations and Checkout Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, United Space Alliance space suit specialists prepare to demonstrate the placement of crew seats and equipment inside an Orion crew exploration vehicle mock-up. Crew escape equipment suit technician Andre Denard, the STS-132 crew chief, assists United Space Alliance EV_IV Integrated Operations work control specialist Jennifer Peterson, as she dresses in a flight-and-entry suit. Looking on is crew escape equipment suit engineer Thomas Carlton. The mock-up details the interior components of the vehicle including seat layout and the subsystem components on the outside of the pressure vessel. Orion mock-ups also have been used to verify accessibility of the servicing locations at the launch pad and in the Vehicle Assembly Building.
