Orion Backstage: Chris Cassidy and Heather Paul.

Piloting a spaceship at 25,000 mph? That controller used to maneuver it better fit like a glove! At NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, engineer Heather Paul and astronaut Chris Cassidy put on spacesuits to test out the next generation controller for the Orion spacecraft - NASA's deep space vehicle that will take humans on the #JourneyToMars. The testing is providing data teams will use to make any adjustments needed to ensure future Orion crews can interact appropriately with the spacecraft’s control system when they're inside their spacesuits during deep space missions.
