"In a test targeted for April 2019 known as Ascent Abort-2, NASA will verify the Orion spacecraft’s launch abort system. The test will last less than three minutes with the test crew module reaching an average speed of Mach 1.5, roughly 1020 miles per hour, at approximately 32,000 feet in altitude."
With all the excitement over the Estes Little Joe, would it be cool to make a scale model of the 'Little Joe III'? I know NASA is calling it Orion AA-2, but to me it will be Little Joe III. If enough people call it that, the name might stick, who knows?
