Post-flight inspections
Orion arrived at Florida’s Kennedy Space Center on December 30, where it’s undergoing de-servicing and post-flight inspections at NASA’s Multi-Payload Processing Facility. NASA technicians have removed external avionics boxes, inspected the capsule’s windows and back shell panels, and extracted air samples from inside the spacecraft. Excitingly, they’ve also opened the hatch and removed the three manikins who survived the historic 1.4-million-mile (2.25-million-km) journey to the Moon and back.
