Celebrate a critical milestone in crew safety with this Orion Ascent Abort‑2 (AA‑2) embroidered patch.

AA‑2 was the final, high‑stress test of Orion’s Launch Abort System — the hardware designed to pull astronauts away from danger in the most extreme moments of ascent. Launched from Cape Canaveral’s SLC‑46, the test used a modified Peacekeeper booster to push Orion to intense aerodynamic loads before the LAS fired, pulling the crew module clear at speeds topping 600 mph.
All three abort motors activated, proving the system’s readiness for future human missions and validating key components including avionics, communications, reaction control, and parachutes.

Measuring approximately 4¼" x 3½", this patch marks a defining step toward safe crewed deep‑space exploration.
