Manufacturer Name: L3Harris Technologies
Product Description: The Orion spacecraft is a cutting-edge vehicle designed for deep space exploration, equipped with advanced technologies to ensure crew safety and mission success. With a mission capability of up to 1,000 days, Orion offers maximum radiation protection, an advanced life support system, and a robust heat shield to withstand the extreme temperatures of re-entry into Earth’s atmosphere. It features full redundancy for all major avionics and crew systems, ensuring reliability during critical phases of flight. The spacecraft is outfitted with a rocket-powered escape system for safe emergency aborts and incorporates a powerful main engine refurbished by L3Harris, along with auxiliary engines for trajectory maintenance. Additionally, Orion’s Reaction Control System enables precise maneuvering during atmospheric re-entry, while its self-righting flotation system ensures crew safety post-splashdown. Designed to support NASA’s Artemis missions, Orion is poised to play a pivotal role in humanity’s return to the Moon and future Mars exploration.
