Aerospace Engineering:Critical Design Review Completed for ESA Orion Service Module

NASA and the ESA completed a critical design review culminating in a final review board on 16 June 2016 for the European-built Orion Service Module.The OSM,manufactured by Airbus Group SE,will power,propel and cool the Orion capsule in deep space,along with providing air,water and storage capacity for Orion's crew.
No new major issues were identified during an initial scan of the review,NASA said.Indeed,numerous items were processed and closed out,assuring engineers the OSM design is mature enough to continue with fabrication,assembly,integration and testing.While Airbus builds the OSM,Lockheed Martin is serving as prime contractor of the Orion spacecraft itself.*
The CDR set April 2017 as the target for OSM delivery to Kennedy Space Center for final processng for its late 2018 launch on the unmanned Exploration Mission-1,when it will be stacked atop the new Space Launch System rocket and beneath the Orion spacecraft.
Orion and its Ground Systems Development Program that provides the facilities and ground support at KSC to prepare SLS and Orion for deep space missions,successfully completed their own joint CDR in March 2016.*
