Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle
Orion—America’s spacecraft for a new generation of explorers. Blazing a bold new journey of space exploration and discovery, NASA’s Orion crew exploration vehicle will replace the space shuttle after it is retired in 2010. Orion is the flagship of NASA’s programs for space exploration beyond low Earth orbit and a key element of NASA’s Constellation Program to explore the moon, Mars and beyond.
It was on display at the NASM on the National Mall on Monday March 30th.
The spacecraft mock-up is on its way from water testing at the Naval Surface Warfare Center's Carderock Division in Bethesda to open water testing in the Atlantic off the coast of the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
