NASA and ESA Logos Painted on Orion Spacecraft’s Crew Module Adapter
Summary:
The iconic “worm” logo of NASA and the insignia of ESA (European Space Agency) have been painted on the crew module adapter of the Orion spacecraft. The adapter houses electronic equipment for communications, power, and control, as well as an umbilical connector that bridges the electrical, data, and fluid systems between the main modules. The logos were painted in February 2024, and this move highlights the collaboration between NASA and ESA.
