ASCANS Class of 2013 Tour the O&C with Cabana

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- In the Operations and Checkout Building of NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, astronaut candidates pose in front of a work stand where the agency's Orion spacecraft is being prepared for Exploration Flight Test EFT-1. Plans call for the Lockheed Martin-built Orion to launch atop a United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. From the left are Tyler Nick Hague, Andrew Morgan, Jessica Meir, Christina Hammock, Nicole Mann, Anne McClain, Josh Cassada and Victor Glover. The astronaut class of 2013 was selected by NASA after an extensive year-and-a-half search. The new group will help the agency push the boundaries of exploration and travel to new destinations in the solar system.
