- A test version of the Orion spacecraft is pulled back like a pendulum and released, taking a dive into the 20-foot-deep Hydro Impact Basin at NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia.
Crash-test dummies wearing modified Advanced Crew Escape Suits are securely seated inside the capsule to help engineers understand how splashdown in the ocean during return from a deep-space mission could impact the crew and seats. Each test in the water-impact series simulates different scenarios for Orion’s parachute-assisted landings, wind conditions, velocities and wave heights the spacecraft and crew may experience when landing in the ocean upon return missions in support of the journey to Mars.

"Hydro Impact Basin" aka a pool.
A SCIENCE pool.
What kind of data are you guys getting from this that you haven't gotten from the test flight last year?
is this a episode of Gilligan's island?
wheeeee!
What is the latest on mission to mars ?
+Joshua Kelm | You are wrong. SpaceX and NASA are working hand in hand on their journey to Mars. NASA estimates human landing on Mars in 2030. SpaceX estimates 2026. I'm not sure what math you grew up learning, but that would be 4 years, not 80.
NASA's working with SpaceX, yes. They share lots of data and supplies. NASA isn't going to mars until 2030 because it doesn't know how to get back from Mars. SpaceX is going in the 2020's because they're not coming back. It's a one-way trip to Mars. NASA could go then too, but they'd rather come back to Earth and not sign up for a life on Mars.
