Orion Spacecraft@NASA_OrionNew Orion pics👀✨At @NASAKennedy, teams moved the #Artemis II stack into a vacuum chamber, where it will undergo electromagnetic compatibility and interference testing to confirm Orion can safely fly through harsh electric fields.
Apr 11, 2024On April 4, 2024, a team lifts the Artemis II Orion spacecraft into a vacuum chamber inside the Operations and Checkout Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, where it will undergo electromagnetic compatibility and interference testing.
An exploration program based on SLS and Orion has long been criticized as being hardware-poor. Being hardware-rich means you can test a lot. Being hardware-poor forces you into difficult corners like this:

All the testing I can remember back in the shuttle days and now are unmanned.
During my time on the Shuttle program, I remember individuals, who had been working the program from almost the start, say that NASA deemed the baskets to be too dangerous for someone to ride during test. Was someone injured in the early days and testing was limited to mass simulators? All hear say on my part. But ... if people are suppose to ride these in an emergency egress of the tower, if its not safe for people to test ride, how is it safe to ride in an emergency? Curious people want to know
