Pierwszy lot Oriona 05.12.2014 o 12:05:00,180 z Cape Canaveral wystrzelona została RN Delta-4H, która wyniosła w T+17' 21"
na orbitę o parametrach: hp=185 km, ha=892 km, i=28,8° do lotu EFT-1 (Exploration Flight Test) testowy
statek kosmiczny Orion. W T+1h 55' 21" ponowne włączenie silnika drugiego stopnia DCSS na 4' 42" zmieniło
orbitę na nietrwałą o parametrach: hp=-30 km, ha=5800 km, i=28,8°. Kabina Oriona zwodowała w Pacyfiku

The Orion EFT-1 mission met all its objectives and received many accolades. “Today was a great day for America,” said Flight Director Sarafin from his console at Mission Control in Houston. “It is hard to have a better day than today,” said Mark S. Geyer, Orion program manager. “We’re already working on the next capsule,” said W. Michael “Mike” Hawes, Lockheed Martin’s Orion program manager, adding, “We’ll learn a tremendous amount from what we did today.” NASA Associate Administrator for Human Exploration and Operations William H. Gerstenmaier praised all personnel involved with the EFT-1 mission, “What a tremendous team effort.” NASA Administrator Charles F. Bolden summarized his thoughts about the mission, “Today’s flight test of Orion is a huge step for NASA and a really critical part of our work to pioneer deep space.”
After its arrival at Naval Base San Diego, workers placed the Orion capsule aboard a truck that delivered it to the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) on Dec. 18. After engineers conducted a thorough inspection of the spacecraft at KSC, workers trucked it to the Lockheed Martin facility in Littleton, Colorado, where it arrived on Sep. 1, 2015. Engineers there completed final inspections and decontamination of the vehicle. The capsule is on display at the KSC Visitors Center. (...)
