Orion Max Q abort test
In article ,
says...
Apparently the Boeing Starliner is the only manned capsule not being
required to do a full up Max Q abort test.
Yep.
I just saw that the test
for Orion is scheduled for TODAY. The test isn't using an SLS (which,
honestly, wouldn't seem to be a requirement) but will launch on old
ICBM solid motors to get the capsule up to Max Q speed and altitude,
at which point the LM abort system will fire to demonstrate its
performance in that aerodynamic regime.
Yep. Looked successful.
