. The rocket and spacecraft will no longer be visible to the naked eye after reaching an altitude of 42,000 feet. Launch visibility is dependent upon several factors, including launch time and dates.

During this flight, the Orion spacecraft will fly farther than any spacecraft built for humans has ever flown after launching on the most powerful rocket in the world.
