Orion recovery testing

Members of the Orion recovery team work to retrieve a test version of Orion's forward bay cover, a protective shell that fits on top of the crew module, from the Pacific Ocean on Feb. 18, 2014, during an Underway Recovery Test. NASA and U.S. Navy personnel came together on board the USS San Diego, off the coast of California, to practice the processes they used to recover Orion after its splashdown following Exploration Flight Test-1 (EFT-1).
