Description

A renewed vision for space exploration has prompted NASA to develop a sustained human presence on the Moon using its new human spaceflight architecture known as the Constellation Program. The Orion crew exploration vehicle and Ares launch vehicles, complete with Altair lunar lander, will replace the Space Shuttle, making it possible for return missions to the Moon and future missions to Mars and beyond. Teams of scientists and engineers from NASA and industry are working together to develop several lunar rover concepts that are being tested for long-range excursions on the Moon to provide astronauts their primary method of transportation and allow crews to spend up to three days living and working away from their lunar base.
