This image captures a moment from a simulation of Orion’s Ascent Abort-2 launch abort vehicle where abort was triggered at low altitude while traveling at supersonic speed. This shows animated particles that depict the action of the abort motor plumes.

NASA Supercomputers Predict How Vibrations Vary With Altitude for Orion Abort Scenarios

To help ensure astronaut safety if an emergency arises during launch, NASA researchers are using their cutting-edge computational fluid dynamics software to perform simulations that predict how altitude will affect vibration levels in Orion’s launch abort system.
