Launch Abort System

The launch abort system, positioned on a

tower atop the crew module, can activate

within milliseconds to propel the vehicle

to safety and position the crew module

for a safe landing.

Service Module

Created in collaboration with ESA

(European Space Agency), the service

module provides support to the crew

module from launch through separation

prior to entry. It provides in-space

propulsion for orbital transfer, power and

thermal control, attitude control and high

altitude ascent aborts. While mated with

the crew module, it also provides water

and air to support the crew.

Crew Module

The crew module is capable of

transporting four crew members beyond

the moon, providing a safe habitat from

launch through landing and recovery.

Inside the familiar deep-space capsule

shape are advances in life support,

avionics, power systems, and advanced

manufacturing techniques.

The Orion spacecraft enables NASA to make the next giant leap in deep space exploration. It is built upon 50 years of human space�ight mission experience and will enable astronauts to travel farther into space than ever before to explore destinations beyond low Earth orbit such as asteroids and even Mars. The spacecraft has been designed, assembled and tested with advanced technologies and equipment from all over the country making it the safest and most capable human space exploration vehicle ever built.

NASA’s Journey to Mars travels through Orion’s award-winning business partners in 48 states and Puerto Rico. Our suppliers have supported NASA and Lockheed Martin and were key to our success on NASA’s Exploration Flight Test-1 in 2014. A series of increasingly challenging missions awaits, and America’s new Orion spacecraft and Space Launch System will take us farther than we’ve gone before, including to Mars. We are proud to have the business community with us as we travel to destinations across our solar system. Below is a list of some of our California companies that have contributed to the Orion Program since its inception.
