T O P I C R E V I E WRobert PearlmanThe Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex's NASA Now exhibit, located inside the IMAX Theater, tells the evolving story of the future of space exploration, immersing guests in the science of current missions to the International Space Station (ISS) and upcoming missions to explore deep space. In 2018, Kennedy Space Center will once again launch astronauts into space.

Hart SastrowardoyoDoes the Orion have a full interior, a mockup, or a mixture of both dummy and real components?Robert PearlmanThe EFT-1 Orion did not fly with a cabin outfitted for a crew and there are no means to view inside. To quote the EFT-1 press kit: This first crew module includes electrical power storage and distribution; thermal control; cabin pressure control; command and data handling; communications and tracking; guidance, navigation and control; reaction control system propulsion and flight software and computers. The only crew module systems that will not fly on this vehicle are the environmental control and life support system; and the crew support systems such as displays, seats and crew-operable hatches.
