The Orion spacecraft is part of NASA’s Artemis program to establish a permanent human presence on the lunar surface and further enable future crewed missions to Mars. One of the key safety features of Orion is the Launch Abort System (LAS) which pulls the Orion Crew Module (CM) away in the event of a launch vehicle malfunction. It was necessary to design a LAS hatch that allows for crew access to the CM during pad operations. This paper describes the background and evolution of the LAS hatch design, the features used to address the crew safety requirements, the testing challenges in preparation for the Artemis crewed missions, and lessons learned.
