NASA will test Orion's launch abort system in April 2019 ahead of EM-1 launch
This will be the only fully active test before crew is added, in the early 2020s
The system can direct the Orion capsule to safety during launch emergency
In the April 2019 test, a booster provided by Orbital ATK will take off from the Cape Canaveral launchpad carrying a fully functional launch abort system (LAS), and a 22,000 pound Orion test vehicle
It will ascend to 32,000 feet at Mach 1.3 (more than 1,000 miles per hour) – and then, the LAS’ reverse-flow abort motor will fire. The system contains the system’s three motors, which drive the capsule away from an emergency, reorient the capsule, and pull the LAS away from the crew module. In a normal launch, however, only the LAS jettison motor would fire...
