Navy Divers Recover NASA Space Capsule From Pacific Ocean
Extended footage has been released from the Orion capsule recovery system, which had its debut launch in December, 2014.
It was a combined US Navy and NASA team that successfully towed the spacecraft out of the water after a flawless launch and landing.
NASA is currently embarking on a new era of space exploration.
Orion is America's next-generation spacecraft that will take astronauts to new destinations never explored by humans.
It will carry crews to distant planetary bodies, provide emergency abort capabilities, sustain the crew during space travel and provide safe re-entry from deep space.
