EFT-1 Crew Module preparations to move to KSC Visitor Complex

A close-up view of the Orion crew module from Exploration Flight Test 1 in the Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building high bay at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. A crane has lifted the crew module up from a birdcage test stand and is moving it to a custom-built transport stand for the move to nearby Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. Orion will be delivered to IMAX Theater for display in the NASA Now exhibit. The Orion spacecraft launched atop a United Launch Alliance Delta IV rocket Dec. 5, 2014, from Space Launch Complex 37 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The spacecraft built for humans traveled 3,604 miles above Earth and splashed down about 4.5 hours later in the Pacific Ocean.
