Inside the high bay in the Space Station Processing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, a crane has lowered a shipping container with the Orion heat shield ground test article inside onto weight sensors. The container will be placed on a flatbed vehicle and transported to the Shuttle Landing Facility. From there it will be loaded into NASA's Guppy aircraft for transportation to Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company near Denver, Colorado. For more information, visit www.nasa.gov/orion
