Have you heard? Last week, the European Service Module (ESM) arrived at NASA's Kennedy Space Center! On missions to deep space, the ESM will supply NASA’s Orion Spacecraft with electricity, propulsion, thermal control, air and water. In 2019, the ESM and Orion will be tested in our thermal vacuum chamber at Plum Brook Station in Sandusky #Ohio. This animation provides a look at what’s to come. The tests will ensure the spacecraft’s thermal control system performs correctly at the extreme flight

From the high seas to the high skies, we’re testing deep space exploration systems to support future missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. Check out how the Orion spacecraft, Space Launch System rocket and Ground Systems Development and Operations program are advancing toward sending humans farther than they've ever been before: http://go.nasa.gov/2CPU3Bg | NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration
