At Space Launch Complex 37 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, engineers installed Orion's batteries on Thursday (Nov. 30), completing a critical step in the final preparations process. Because the spacecraft's batteries have a limited lifespan, they are installed as close to launch as possible. On Wednesday, engineers completed testing the communications links between the Orion spacecraft and the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite (TDRS) system in an evaluation known as a live sky test. NASA's TDRS network will be used to send commands to Orion during the flight test and receive data from the spacecraft.</BLOCKQUOTE> <a name="112114a"></a>[/B][/QUOTE]
