Orion MPCV LAS in Acoustic Vibration Chamber, RAL

Technicians position microphones around the Orion launch abort system and crew module test articles in preparation for the second round of testing in the acoustic chamber at Lockheed Martin’s facilities near Denver on Aug. 16, 2011. The vehicle was bombarded by acoustic levels of 150 decibels to simulate conditions during launch and abort if necessary. Part of Batch image transfer from Flickr.
