Technicians positioned an Orion flight test crew module inside a Mississippi Air National Guard C-17. The C-17 was used to ferry the crew module from NASA’s Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards, CA, to the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. The module was used for Pad Abort-1, the first of five planned Orion Launch Abort System Pad flight tests in NASA’s Constellation program, originally scheduled for early 2010 from the new launch pad at White Sands.August 18, 2009
