The room is staffed around the clock throughout the nearly 10 day mission, up until the spacecraft has been safely secured inside the U.S. Navy ship that will recover it after splashdown.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Another key function of the evaluation room is collecting and analyzing the large amount of data Orion will produce during the flight, which will help inform the room\u2019s team on the spacecraft\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cData collection is hugely significant,\u201d Perryman said. \u201cWe\u2019ll do an analysis and assessment of all the data we\u2019ve collected, and compare it against what we were expecting from the spacecraft. While a lot of that data comparison will take place during the mission, we\u2019ll also do deeper analysis after the mission is over to see what we learned.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-media hds-module wp-block-image\">\n<div class=\"margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-full\">\n<div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\">\n<figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-fit \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/jsc2025e070715.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/jsc2025e070715.jpg?w=2048\" class=\"attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048\" alt=\"\" style=\"transform: scale(1);
