In addition to the various loads it sustained, the Orion crew module also was pressurized to simulate the effect of the vacuum in space.

WASHINGTON — After a month of being poked, prodded and pressurized in ways that mimicked the stresses of spaceflight, NASA's Orion crew module successfully passed its static loads tests on Wednesday.
To repair the cracks, engineers designed brackets that spread the stress of being pressurized to other areas of the module that are structurally stronger.
