Abort motor ship preparation

Abort motor ship preparation

This is the abort motor that is part of the Orion CEV's launch safety system. Here, we see crew members getting ready to ship the abort motor from ATK's Salt Lake City facility to the U.S. Army's White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. "The motor [was designed to] be fully integrated with the other system motors in preparation for the Pad Abort 1...flight test."
