The Orion is part of NASA’s Constellation Program, which is developing America’s next-generation human spacecraft, said Jessie Riley Eason, a spokeswoman for the Challenger Center.

It will be at the Challenger Center bus ramp at College Avenue and Duval Street noon-3 p.m.

The mockup is used in tests to study the environment for astronauts and recovery crews after splashdown.
