NASA recently released new images of the Orion capsule with a new paint job–a chrome layer that will help with thermal insulation for the spacecraft.
The chrome layer, being highly reflective, will help maintain Orion’s temperature during its missions. Placed over the thermal tiles, the coating will also help reflect heat during reentry.
