Orion Spacecraft for Artemis I transported to NASA’s Plum Brook Station
The Orion spacecraft for Artemis I flew into Mansfield Lahm Airport on Sunday, Nov. 24, aboard NASA’s Super Guppy aircraft from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
After unloading Orion at the airport, the transportation team drove the spacecraft across Northeast Ohio’s new space corridor. NASA Glenn worked with the Ohio Department of Transportation and local utility companies to clear more than 700 overhead lines from the 41-mile stretch of rural highway between Mansfield and NASA’s Plum Brook Station.
The spacecraft arrived in Sandusky, Ohio, on Tuesday, Nov. 26 where engineers installed it in a thermal vacuum chamber for the final stretch of major testing before the Artemis I launch.
Plum Brook Station was renamed the Neil A. Armstrong Test Facility on December 30, 2020.
