NSWC Carderock Division - A full-scale Orion capsule test article is evaluated in the Carderock test pond during early recovery testing. The prototype inflatable skirt provides stability and footing for pararescue personnel, while spherical up-righting bags help return the capsule to an upright position and allow safe access to the side hatch in open water.
