See Orbital ATK’s successful test fire of the Attitude Control Motor (ACM) for NASA’s Orion spacecraft. On April 27, 2017, this critical motor proved its ability to steer the launch abort system, ensuring crew safety in emergencies. A key milestone for future exploration missions. #OrbitalATK #NASA #OrionSpacecraft #ACMTest #SpaceSafety #LaunchAbortSystem #SpaceExploration #RocketScience #SLS #CrewSafety | Spaceagency.blog
