NASA Public Affairs Officer Brandi Dean talks with Tom Walker, Orion Recovery and Rescue Lead, about how the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory (NBL) is being used to train rescue and recovery personnel for Orion capsule water recovery operations.
Orion's Exploration Flight Test 1 mission, set for 2014, will see an unmanned Orion capsule launch then land in the ocean off of the coast of Baja, Calif. The recovery operation calls for the capsule to be pulled out of the water and on to a ship, and then brought back to port. The first crewed test flight, currently set for 2021, will involve rescue operations in addition to the capsule recovery.
The NBL training helps the rescue and recovery team develop new equipment and as well as rescue and recovery methods.
