NASA Recovery Team members watch as a test version of the Orion capsule is pulled into the flooded well deck of the USS John P. Murtha, during Underway Recovery Test-7 (URT-7) on Oct. 30, 2018. URT-7 is one in a series of tests that the Exploration Ground Systems Recovery Team, along with the U.S. Navy, are conducting to verify and validate procedures and hardware that will be used to recover the Orion spacecraft after it splashes down in the Pacific Ocean following deep space exploration missions. Orion will have emergency abort capability, sustain the crew during space travel and provide safe re-entry from deep space return velocities.
