NASA’s Orion Spacecraft is landing at the American Airlines Center (AAC) in Dallas Jan. 27-29 at Victory Park. The capsule making a stop in Dallas was a low fidelity model that was used for fit checks prior to the launch abort test that took place in 2010.

Due to the low security restrictions on the vehicle, the public will be allowed to sign their name or write messages on some of the panels on the capsule.

NASA astronauts Nick Patrick and Clay Anderson will be available at the exhibit on the 27th and 28th respectively.

Our local chapter of the National Space Society (NSSofNT.org) will be there as well.
