Ascent, aborted: The #OrionAA2 test launch, as seen from the beach at Jetty Park.

Launched at 7 am (ET) Tuesday morning, it looks like the (simulated) #Orion got quite the ride, first atop a converted Peacekeeper ICBM, then pulled away by the #AA2 Launch Abort System.

#OrionAA2 aftermath: planned chaos. The (converted) ICBM launch system, the Launch Abort System, and the #Orion, all going their intentionally separate ways.
