Secured atop a transport vehicle, Orion moves along the route to the Multi-Payload Processing Facility (MPPF) on Jan. 16, 2021, after departing from the Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Watching Orion move, from left are Mike Collins, NASA Operations manager for Spacecraft Offline Operations at Kennedy, and Skip Williams, operations manager for the MPPF spacecraft offline element integration team. In the MPPF, Orion will undergo processing with the Exploration Ground Systems team taking over ground processing ahead of the Artemis I launch.
