Message to Edit: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	Originally posted by Robert Pearlman on 04-01-2026 04:15 PM NASA release <blockquote><font size="+0">[b]Orion crew hatch sealed for launch[/b]</font> The closeout crew has completed closing the crew module hatch to the Orion spacecraft. Inside the White Room at Launch Complex 39B, the closeout crew worked to inspect seals, secure fasteners and verify that the hatch was airtight. The technicians also closed the launch abort system hatch. The hatch provides a protective barrier for the crew module, designed to safeguard the astronauts during the Artemis II flight path and, if necessary, enable a rapid escape in the event of an emergency.</blockquote>
