Orion
The Orion has the capacity to hold up to four astronauts and take them to lunar orbit and then return them safely back to Earth after reaching the moon. The cone-shaped capsule itself is five meters wide and has the capacity to transport six astronauts to the International Space Station.On March 27, 2008 the crew of the Orion Module Simulator loaded the vehicle for transport to NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center out of Edwards, California.
NASA plans to launch three abort tests for the Orion space vehicle and its rockets between 2009 and 2001. Tests will be to check the safety and reliability of the Orion's astronaut escape route, simulating the effects of a potential emergency.
