CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – A test version of NASA’s Orion spacecraft completed a cross-country journey at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Feb. 8, after giving residents in three states the chance to see a full scale mockup of the craft that will take humans into deep space. The capsule will be stored in Kennedy’s Multi-Payload Processing Facility.      The test vehicle was used by ground crews in advance of the launch abort system flight test that took place in New Mexico in 2010. Photo Credit: NASA/Jim Grossmann KSC-2012-1291
