NASA’s Orion Test Launch – Live Stream
By Rebecca Jacobson | PBS
Watch the live stream below
Update: Due to wind, technical issues and a civilian boat impeding on the launch site, NASA has delayed the launch for today.
In the meantime, don’t miss Mile’s O’Brien’s report on Orion from last night’s PBS NewsHour:
NASA is preparing to launch the Orion spacecraft on its first test flight Thursday morning at 7:05am EST, with a 2 hour, 39 minute launch window. Barring any delays, the unmanned Orion will orbit the Earth twice in four and a half hours, rising to a height of 3,600 miles above the Earth. Then it will drop back through the Earth’s atmosphere at 20,000 miles per hour.
