NASA's new Orion spacecraft now is at its launch pad at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida after completing its penultimate journey in the early hours of Nov. 12. Orion will travel almost 60,000 miles into space Thursday, Dec. 4 during an uncrewed flight designed to test many of the spacecraft's systems before it begins carrying astronauts on missions to deep space destinations.
