At the time, NASA engineers determined that the power requirements to launch such a heavy vehicle were too great for any of the rockets they had. Their solution was to create spacecraft that could dock with other vehicles. At first, the engineers considered launching an unmanned container ...
Now, we’re going to continue with processing, get that thing checked out and fueled, and get the launch abort motor stuck on top of it. With fueling of Orion’s crew and service modules complete, the spacecraft moves from the MPPF into the Launch Abort System Facility. ...
