Yuma, Ariz. - NASA scientists say they're ready to test a parachute designed to save a capsule built in New Orleans East.
They've already boarded Orion's parachute system on a plane in Yuma, Arizona.
The Orion capsule is the next vehicle NASA hopes will explore deep space.
Wednesday's test will include dropping the parachute from 25,000 feet.
