2014 is the Year of Orion.

NASA’s next human spaceflight vehicle destined for astronaut voyages beyond Earth will launch for the first time later this year on its inaugural test flight from the Florida space coast.

The space agency is rapidly pressing forward with efforts to finish building the Orion crew module slated for lift off this Fall on the unmanned Exploration Flight Test – 1 (EFT-1) mission.

NASA announced today that construction of the service module section is now complete.
