Orion spacecraft will be transported across northern Ohio Tuesday


The Artemis I Orion spacecraft is destined to be shot into space one day and head to the moon. But first, it’s headed from Mansfield to Sandusky. The behemoth of a spacecraft – it weighs more than 25 tons – will take a leisurely six-hour trip Tuesday aboard a 135-foot flatbed truck from Mansfield Lahm Regional Airport to NASA’s Plum Brook Station in Sandusky.
