NASA TO LAUNCH THE ORION CAPSULE ON DECEMBER 4TH - ORION TO BE THE PLATFORM FOR FUTURE DEEP SPACE EXPLORATION BEYOND EARTH’S ORBIT - THE NEW ROCKET MORE POWERFUL THAN THE SATURN MOON ROCKETS

NASA's first space-bound Orion capsule has arrived at the launch pad, where it will lift off in early December on an uncrewed test flight in support of NASA's plans for future astronaut missions beyond Earth orbit.

The gumdrop-shaped spacecraft, encased within a white aerodynamic shell and topped by a launch escape tower, rolled up to the base of Space Launch Complex 37B at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida at 3:07 a.m. EST (0807 GMT) on Wednesday (Nov. 12).

The capsule, which is set to embark on Dec. 4 on NASA's Exploration Flight Test-1 (EFT-1), rode out to the pad atop a multi-wheeled transporter.
