The lengthy test campaign includes simulated lightning strikes and abort-level acoustics reaching levels of more than 160 decibels, louder than a jackhammer. It also includes deployments of the spacecraft\u2019s docking and shielding covers and its crew module uprighting system, five airbags on top of the capsule that inflate upon splashdown. The test campaign serves to ensure Orion is ready to protect the crew if an emergency occurs during launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This Orion spacecraft completed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/news-release\/artemis-testing-at-plum-brook-station\/\">months of space environmental testing<\/a> in 2019 and 2020 at Armstrong Test Facility before its 2022 flight test, showing that the path to the Moon goes through Ohio.
